1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 04/30/2021

Radio screen contains a big bubble that disables touch and access to features such as maps, phones system and engine control. This causes the radio to crash and make extreme loud sounds that you're unable to control unless you power off the engine. When turning the engine back on the issue continues to exist. This can happen at any time while driving or while starting up the vehicule. My radio have made 2 unwanted calls to 911 due to the screen of the radio changing stations and selecting options on it's own. Dodge knows this issue exist on multiple years and models of the Dodge Charger line up and is not doing anything to help their customers.

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

I've been experiencing electrical problems with my screen. It's affecting the use of my radio, heat, defrost (which I need for visibility). The door paneling is also pulling away from the door frames.

3 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 07/18/2020

This car definitely has a wiring issue. Sometimes the car won't start. It is not the battery & it is not the starter. Occasionally the radio won't work. Sometimes when you are driving down the road, it loses all power. Sometimes the headlights just go out. Nobody can seem to find the issue.

4 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 05/10/2020

I purchased my car brand new in 2017, a month ago I noticed what looked like a watermark in the screen of my radio, it is stretching across the screen. I use this to make phone calls since we are no longer allowed to use our cell phones. When I called the dealer they said that the 2017 Dodge Charger has been having this issue and that it should be covered under warranty and since they are aware of the defect they should fix it at no charge. They can't just replace the screen they have to replace the whole radio and it is almost 2,000$. When I called the Dodge repair shop where I live they said they would reach out to Dodge since this has been a major issue with this vehicle and see if they would fix it. My vehicle was stationary when I noticed the problem.

5 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2019

Takata recall, my uconnect screen is faulty and glitches out and changes settings, temperature, radio stations, turns my seat warmers on and basically whatever else it presses on by itself. It happens while the vehicle is both in motion and idle. The incident started happening randomly for no apparent reason and I still have no clue as to what could have caused it.

6 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2018

I get repeated weather alerts from u-connect screen system. The alerts come from serius satellite travel link system. They pop up and block whatever is displayed on the screen like radio or maps. They continue to block the screen until the driver reaches over to turn them off - distracting their eyes and hand from driving! neither serius or Dodge are unwilling or unable to turn them off. During a recent winter storm this was very hazardous because many roads were closed and I couldn't find a way home because the alerts were so frequent they continuously blocked the map app - as I was trying to drive home.

7 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 10/23/2017

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.
