  The transmission in my car completely failed. I was driving home from work. The check engine light came on. Then I noticed the transmission wasn't changing gears. I also noticed a burning smell as well. I towed the vehicle to the dealership. They discovered the transmission fluid was burned due to over heating. The transmission was locked into 2rd gear. That happened at the end of September with about 59,000 miles. The warranty company sent the dealership a used transmission to dealership. On Monday November 27 while driving home, the transmission failed again. I put about 2,000 miles on the vehicle. For my understanding, this is a known issue with Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/RAM for the transmissions in their vehicles to fail. The manufacturer knows there's a problem. However, the manufacturer hasn't addressed the issue.

I BROUGHT IT IN THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SMELLED THE GAS OUTSIDE THE CAR. THEY PULLED UP MY BACKSEATS AND THERE WAS A PUDDLE OF GAS THAT LEAKED FROM THE FUEL PUMP. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND A FEW DAYS AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK WHEN I FILLED UP MY TANK AGAIN THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THIS TIME IT WAS LEAKING GAS FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR. AFTER THAT 2ND REPAIR I GOT MY CAR BACK AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER AFTER I FILLED UP MY TANK AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THE 3RD TIME THEY ENDED UP REPLACING THE GAS TANK.

  THE UCONNECT INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IN FCA VEHICLES HAS A DEFECT THAT WILL CAUSE MULTIPLE WEATHER ALERTS FOR AREAS HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY. THE ERRANT WEATHER ALERTS TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE SCREEN AND REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO EXIT OUT OF THE ALERT. THE ALERT WILL NOT GO AWAY ON IT'S OWN, AND YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE RADIO OR HVAC SYSTEM WITHOUT READING AND EXITING OUT OF THE ALERT. ALSO, THE UCONNECT SYSTEM HAS NO OPTION TO DISABLE WEATHER ALERTS. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CANNOT STOP THEM FROM HAPPENING IN THEIR CURRENT BUILD. I'VE CALLED DODGE AND UCONNECT MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION. ALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS UCONNECT NEEDS TO ADD THE OPTION IN THE SETTINGS TO TOGGLE WEATHER ALERTS ON OR OFF. IT SHOULD TAKE A PROGRAMMER AN HOUR TO ACCOMPLISH THIS SIMPLE TASK. JUST TODAY I GOT 4 WEATHER ALERTS FOR COUNTIES BETWEEN 140 AND 400 MILES AWAY FROM MY CURRENT LOCATION ON MY 5 MILE DRIVE, EACH ONE REQUIRING ME TO PHYSICALLY CLOSE THE SCREEN TO GET BACK TO THE NAVIGATION PAGE. FORCING DRIVERS TO READ AND INTERACT WITH MULTIPLE DEFECTIVE WEATHER ALERTS CAN BE AS DANGEROUS AS TEXTING AND DRIVING. WHEN I CALLED DODGE, THEY SAID THE ISSUE IS WITH UCONNECT. UCONNECT TOLD ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE. WHEN I MESSAGED DODGE, THEY TOLD ME SIRIUS XM IS TO BLAME FOR SENDING THE ALERTS. SO WE HAVE A 3 WAY FINGER POINTING CONTEST HERE THAT NOBODY WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. ALL I WANT IS FOR UCONNECT TO GIVE DRIVERS THE OPTION TO DISABLE WEATHER ALERTS TO KEEP THEIR ATTENTION ON THE ROAD.

  THE UCONNECT 8.4INCH NAV TOUCHSCREEN HAS A GIANT BUBBLE ACROSS THE TOP THAT IS STILL EXPANDING IN SIZE. WITH THE VEHICLE RUNNING, THE TOUCHSCREEN ACTS ON ITS OWN WITHOUT OPERATOR INTERFACE, TOUCHING VARIOUS PORTIONS OF THE SCREEN AT RANDOM, DEPENDING ON THE STATUS OF THE BUBBLE. WHILE ON THE MEDIA PAGE, THE SYSTEM WILL ANNOYINGLY SWAP BETWEEN BLUETOOTH, USB, AUXILLARY SOURCES, WHILE ON THE CLIMATE SCREEN, IT WILL SWAP BETWEEN THE DIFFERENT MODES OF CIRCULATION OF AIR IN THE VEHICLE. THE SAFETY CONCERN IS IT WILL TRY TO DIAL EMERGENCY SERVICES, OR TRY TO START LAUNCH CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I WAS LUCKY IN THAT I DON'T HAVE THE SOS SYSTEM ENABLED, AND I WAS STATIONARY WHEN LAUNCH CONTROL WAS TURNED ON BY THE TOUCHSCREEN, BUT I AM CONCERNED FOR OTHERS WHILE THE VEHICLE MAY BE IN MOTION.

  The Uconnect radio has a defect where the touchscreen separates from the radio. The touchscreen starts doing phantom touches on its own and it is very startling. It goes out of control and repeatedly changes settings and applications. It becomes a very serious road hazard as well as health hazard. It is distracting with the beeping noises it makes and the jumping around of the screen. It phone dials people on it's own while I am driving. It will also change the A/C to heat and that is not good during a Florida summer. An additional issue is as the glue melts, it can leak onto the wiring of all the components under the screen including the AC, all the parking sensor and traction control off controls. Yes it is available for inspection. The dealership said the only resolution is for me to purchase a brand new radio. This is a defect!

  Uconnect screen is delaminating. This is a huge safety concern because the screen is used to see the backup camera, use the phone to call 911, switch vehicle option to assist in driving the vehicle and simply hearing the radio for reported hazards, weather, etc. I would have had this repaired sooner under warranty, but I was not aware that this was such an issue. The screen is continuously getting worse. I am in numerous forums that are reporting the same by hundreds or more owners of dodge, ram, Chrysler, jeep owners.

  interior door panel is separating from the door its self where the door and the panel meets at the top where the window is. This was first noticed on the front passenger door about 3 years ago and is now on all of the doors to some extent. This is causing an opening and gap where fingers could get caught or foreign objects could enter the interior of the door causing possible failure or malfunction of either or both of the doors or windows. This was addressed with the dealer who tried to say it was temperature related (as this is in the south west) and not covered under the extended warranty however, I have seen many posts from all over the country where several years and makes of dodge vehicles have similar issues.

• 08/31/2021· ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? 1.) The touch screen display (UConnect 8.4 with Nav) has fluids forming under the screen that are causing 'ghost clicks'. It had started as an innocuous air bubble in the corner of the screen, then gradually spreading across half of the display. Areas within the fluid are becoming subject to ghost clicks. This part is available for inspection at most dealerships, but not repair. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? 2.) While driving, the ghost clicks are causing unintended phone calls, navigation changing, and climate control interactions. This is extremely distracting while driving, and causing the driver to redirect their vision to the screen while driving. This has a high potential to cause driving accidents, as the ghost touches effect navigation, which can fluster drivers with random changes in rapid succession. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? 3.) This is a widespread and well documented problem that is known to Dodge, and their family of dealerships. It spans across 2017/2018 vehicle models with 8.4inch UConnect displays. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? 4.) Not to my knowledge. Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? 5.) There are no warning indications for this issue. The only sign is a small air bubble that starts in the corner, underneath of the touch screen.
