Potential Consequences:
My uconnect infotainment unit is experiencing “ghost touching” . As I am driving at first the radio stations would change by themselves. They would go from xm to fm and etc. then my clock wouldn’t allow me to set the time. Now recently, as I’m driving, the unit is dialing numbers, reading text messages. It’s calling sos. The. My back up camera is on as I’m driving forward. Air conditioner going from high to low. I brought it into dodge and they told me it needs a new unit. I called ram and they said to bring it in to dodge and leave it there. They won’t let me. Ram told me to get a loaner but the dealership says they don’t have any. Ram also told me to get a rental but I don’t want to lay out $550-700 for a rental when I have no idea how long it will take for the part to come in. My truck is completely unable to be driven. I have had it parked with now car since August 1 when I came back from diagnostic . I am concerned that they will putting the same exact unit in there and it will happen again. I am clearly out of warranty. So as of right now I have no car, I have no idea when the part will be in and I do not the same exact unit put in the truck. It’s obviously a know issue but putting back the same unit is not going to fix the problem. They need to upgrade the entire unit like they put in the 2020s.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
OEM UConnect 8.5" screen delamination resulting in constant screen flashing due to "ghost touches" causing distractions to driver. Issue causes the inability to turn screen off when flashing and changing screens on its own which can be hazardous any time, especially at night; when phone is connected to vehicle bluetooth system, the UConnect screen makes random calls which also distracts driver due to having to end a call on the actual phone, otherwise the person called at random is constantly put on hold and resumed to the point it is impossible to speak (hands-free laws in my city create the necessity to be able to speak via bluetooth) and, in the event an emergency call to 911 has to be made while driving, it does not appear the screen malfunction will allow it; climate randomly switches from heat to cool and continuously adjusts fan speed; equalizer on audio system controls itself and prevents driver from altering; radio station changes constantly and back and forth between AM and FM; inability to change clock if necessary; inability to change screen settings whatsoever. This vehicle may be inspected at any time. Dodge dealership maintenance confirmed it is a known issue and recommends the system be replaces (at my expense), even though this exact issue can be found in online forums, etc. dating back to 2017. There were no warnings, only what looked to be a crack in the screen which was later found to be an air bubble under the lamination that continues to spread. My vehicle is very rarely left parked while uncovered and has only been used per the owner's manual. This issue was also not disclosed when the vehicle was bought. My screen in particular did not start having issues until the end of 2022, at approx. 46,000 miles. The manufacturer's warranty has lapsed and an extended warranty was not purchased. However, had I known this could be an issue the manufacturer would not take responsibility for, I would have purchased an extended warranty.

When driving, the vehicle jerked and stopped working, could not drive and would not respond. I had to coast to the curb as best as possible. Vehicle was towed to preferred independent service center.

Defect Description:
SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
My truck will randomly apply the front brakes by itself making the truck undrivable. I have to immediately pull over to the shoulder of the road. The front of the truck will shake violently until I pull over. This will happen at all speeds. I have called Chrysler Corp. And the dealer I purchased the truck new. Both representatives indicated they had never heard of this issue and it was isolated to my truck. The only way I am able to continue to drive my truck after this condition happens is , I have to take the negative terminal off the battery and wait for about 20 minutes for the system to reset. From my research many of these issues on the Ram trucks stem from the ABS and HCU module. My truck only has 27,000 miles. This condition had been going on for over a year now. My wife refuses to drive the truck anymore. Thank you for all your help
