8 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2018 Dodge Challenger

Failure Date: 03/17/2018

My radio screen constantly keeps rebooting or going on and off. Every time I hit a bump in the street or on the highway it goes off, then I hit another small bump and it comes back on. Sometimes I don't have to do a anything, just be sitting parked, and it goes out, which in turn, I can not use my backup screen cause it's not there! that makes it dangerous cause I can not see cars or pedestrians behind me. As you know, my radio screen is key to other features that I can not use because of the constant rebooting or going off and on.

9 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2018 Dodge Challenger

Failure Date: 03/14/2018

Weather alerts keep popping up on my radio screen, requiring me to read them and tap on the ok button to make them go away. They are accompanied with noise/sound to get my attention. There is no option to disable these alerts and it happens multiple times while driving to work in the morning, on my lunch break, or on my ride home. They will appear while the vehicle is in motion, which in my opinion is a safety hazard. There is no way to get them to go away unless I take my eyes of the road and read and tap on the message. I contacted uconnect and they told me to contact xm to disable that service. I contacted xm and they would not disable that service or be of any help. I would really like a way to get these messages to go away. Ideally, an option in the radio to turn them off. This happens multiple times a day/week, depending on the weather. This last happened a few days ago.

10 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2017 Dodge Challenger

Failure Date: 03/12/2018

Radio and navigation screen constantly taken over by pop-up messages about weather that cannot be removed without physically touching the screen while driving, thus causing distraction to the driver. There is no option to disable these, and they pop-up as frequently as every 2-3 minutes, despite closing them. Have called dealership, sirius/xm and Dodge multiple times to no avail. Concerned that distracted driving as a result of unwanted messages popping up in large format on radio screen could result in an accident.

11 Radio/tape Cd Player problem of the 2018 Dodge Challenger

Failure Date: 02/12/2018

The uconnect radio system is not working in the cars. As such, the system reboots the radio every 30 seconds. The radio controls the backup camera among other things. Since it continuously reboots every thirty seconds, the backup camera fails and you. Cannot see people behind you. The potential for hitting pedestrians is horrible. People could be killed by this. Dodge knows about and doesn't know when it will be fixed.
