ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE A 2017 DODGE CHARGER THAT HAS AN ISSUE WITH THE RADIO BECOMING DELAMINATED FROM THE INSIDE OF THE SCREEN. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD AS IT TURNS ON AND OFF, CALLS PEOPLE FROM MY PHONE, AND WILL NOT LET ME TURN THE RADIO OFF WHEN IT HAPPENS. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING AND THIS HAPPENS AND IT'S A MAJOR DISTRACTION WHEN YOUR CAR KEEPS DIALING 911 AND WILL NOT LET YOU TURN IT OFF. I CAN'T STRESS ENOUGH HOW UNSAFE THIS IS. IT GOES AGAINST ALL WARNINGS THAT DISPLAY ON RADIO WHEN POWERED ON.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN, SUSPENSION
THE UCONNECT 8.4 INCH SCREEN USED IN A WIDE VARIETY OF DODGE VEHICLES IS HAVING WIDESPREAD PROBLEMS WITH DELAMINATION. MY VEHICLE HAS RECENTLY SEEN BEHAVIOR MOVE FROM COSMETIC TO DANGEROUS FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOR CHANGES. THE DELAMINATION EVENTUALLY WILL CAUSE "GHOST" OR "PHANTOM" TOUCHES ON THE SCREEN THAT OCCUR WITHOUT ANY ACTUAL USER INPUT. THIS SCREEN CAN ADJUST DRIVE MODES AND SETTINGS THAT IMPACT VEHICLE HANDLING AND POWER DELIVERY. AT WORST, THE CHANGE IN VEHICLE SETTINGS VIA GHOST TOUCHES ON THIS SCREEN COULD CAUSE UNEXPECTED CHANGES IN HANDLING DYNAMICS AND POWER DELIVERY WHICH MAY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT AT SPEED. THIS SCREEN IS ALSO RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTROL OF RADIO AND CLIMATE, WHICH IS LIKELY TO CAUSE DISTRACTED DRIVING AS THE DRIVER ATTEMPTS TO NEGATE OR RECTIFY THE FREQUENT CHANGES BEING MADE WITHOUT THEIR INPUT. THE DEGRADATION OF THE SCREEN SEEMS TO BE A ADHESIVE MATERIAL DEFECT WHICH COULD DRIP ONTO FURTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS BEHIND THE DASH, CAUSING A SHORT OR FURTHER MISBEHAVIOR OF IMPORTANT ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS.

THIS CAUSES THE RADIO TO MAKE PHONE CALLS, TURN ON/OFF EQUIPMENT, BLARE MUSIC...ETC. IT'S EXTREMELY DISTRACTING TO THE DRIVER. AND YOU CANNOT TURN IT OFF. YOU ARE STUCK WITH THIS MALFUNCTION. THIS HAPPENS AT ANYTIME THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. WHEN PARKED OR IN GEAR.

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
BRAND NEW VEHICLE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR BREAK PROBLEMS AND SUSPENSION PROBLEMS. MORE THAN ONE CERTIFIED DEALER HAVE REPLACED DRUMS, BREAK PADS AND TIE-ROD BUSHING WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS. THE CAR SEVERELY SHAKES AT THE FRONT SUSPENSION SYSTEM WHEN BREAKING, PARTICULARLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND COMING DOWN HILLS. THE CAR HAS BEEN AT THE CAR DEALER(S) FOR AS LONG AS OVER A MONTH ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. A DRUMMING SOUND CAN BE HEAR WHEN VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THESE SYMPTOMS. TO THE DEALER'S RESPONSE (FREMONT CDJR) NO PROBLEMS ARE FOUND. LAME EXCUSES I HAVE HEARD FROM THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT: ED MORGA/SERVICE AND PARTS DIRECTOR; [XXX]/SERVICE ADVISOR AND OTHERS STATE THAT THERE ARE NOT PROBLEMS; THAT THE VEHICLE IS TOO HEAVY FOR THIS TYPE OF BREAKING; NOISE WILL GO AWAY ONCE THE PARTS WARM-UP; SERPENTINE BELT AND OTHERS. ON THE OTHER HAND, SERVICE TECHNICIANS SUCH AS [XXX]/SHOP FOREMAN; [XXX]/ SERVICE TECHNICIAN AND OTHERS HAVE DRIVEN THE CAR ALONE WITH ME FOR TESTING; AND CORROBORATING SUCH PROBLEMS TO EXIST. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED TO THE DEALER SINCE THE SERVICE ON WITH 18,1403 MILES. VEHICLE HAS NOW 60,123 MILES AND THE PROBLEMS NEVER FIXED. A CARE CASE WAS FILED WITH FORD MOTOR COMPANY WITHOUT ANY SUCCESS (CARE CASE # [XXX]). ALSO THE ELECTRONIC SYSTEM FAILS. ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND COMMANDS LOCK/FREEZE OR DISAPPEAR WITHOUT WARNING, AFFECTING THE VEHICLE'S FUNCTIONALITY. DEALER STATES THAT THIS IS A SOFTWARE UPDATE ISSUE. NEVER GOT IT RESOLVED EITHER. I'M DESPERATELY SEEKING YOUR HELP SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHERE ELSE TO TURN FOR ASSISTANCE. THESE ARE VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERNS THAT THE DEALER HAS TAKING FOR GRANTED. SAFETY CONCERNS THAT MAY AWAIT A TRAGEDY FOR ME AND MY FAMILY AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. PLEASE ASSIST. REGARDS, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
