Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed.

Safety Issue:

With the pin in the open position, the transmission can be shifted out of PARK into any gear without pushing the brake pedal or having the key in the ignition.

Potential Risk:
Being able to shift the transmission without pushing the brake pedal and/or without a key in the ignition can increase the risk of an unintended vehicle rollaway that may result in personal injury or a crash.

Defect Description:

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

The 8.4 inch Uconnect display acts like a ghost is pressing buttons. The radio will randomly change stations. Other modes - settings, navigation, etc will randomly be selected. When this happens cannot change any climate controls. Back up camera randomly gets activated. This is a SAFETY issue as it causes a distraction when driving. The display randomly changing is also a distraction. Researching the internet, this is not a new issue and is known. The display is "bubbling" or delaminating causing the ghosting of pressed buttons. I am out of the warranty by 6 months and am told this is not covered. I have called Uconnect (case #80418507) and they stated they cannot do anything until a dealer determines the actual problem, which I will have to pay for. I should NOT have to pay for this. This bubbling or delamination issue is well known and should be covered under a recall or warranty. This started last fall but I thought it was caused by a dirty screen. This has gradually gotten worse and happens more often.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

There is a manufacture defect within the UConnect 8.4" screen that causes an adhesive layer to melt and limit the functionality of safety features. A bubble started forming under the screen with the size less than a dime, but has already quadrupled in size since I first noticed it. There is nothing that I can do to make it stop. I have had ghost touches, ranging from drastically reducing and increasing volume, and even having the backup camera turn off because it thinks I'm doing something else. These instances have been rare, but have been starting to become more frequent as the bubble grows larger. I've contacted dealerships and FCA customer support, and they both acknowledged that this is a common problem, but will not help since I'm out of warranty. There are hundreds of documented cases of this happening to a wide variety of FCA vehicles, with many of them being will under 10,000 miles. I should not have to pay for a manufacture defect because my odometer is higher than others. There are even cases of screens dialing 911 on accident or hanging up phone calls. What If I need to call 911 but am unable to? What if I'm using the backup camera, and it decides to randomly turn off? What if the melting adhesive drips and cause s a critical failure while I'm driving? What if the screen doesn't display the correct info for my parking sensors? These are all issues that should've been addressed long ago, but FCA refuses to fix them. There are even class-action lawsuits against FCA for UConnect malfunctions right now. These aren't rare occurrences. Should I have to wait months, if not years, for a settlement to be made? This issue has plagued FCA vehicles since this screen has been implemented, and it is dangerous to let thousands of vehicles run with such an unsafe product that is critical for the vehicle to function properly.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

Vehicle engine shuts off while driving. Once, sitting at a stop light. Once traveling at 45mph on a country road and once accelerating up a hill at 20mph. Dash says "place vehicle in park and turn key to start" (paraphrased). The vehicle goes from running to not running with no warning, causing loss of power steering, brakes, etc. Took vehicle to certified RAM service center who said 'there are no codes and we cannot reproduce the issue, so no diagnosis possible' (paraphrased). No error codes, no warning lamps. If this happens in highway traffic with my 16 year old son driving, it could cause a fatal crash.
