Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain Mopar Stage 1 Kit Performance Packages Powertrain Control Modules (PCM) Part Numbers P5160023, P5160025, and Demon Crate PCM Part Number 68412287AA. The PCMs are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.

The Uconnect HMI/touchscreen in my 2018 Dodge Challenger has visibly delaminated and developed severe phantom touch inputs. When powered on, the screen registers commands without any physical contact. The failed touchscreen remains installed and available for inspection. The vehicle has approximately 19,600 miles. This creates a significant driver distraction and safety risk while driving because the touchscreen repeatedly activates functions and changes settings without my input, including HVAC controls, fan speed, camera activation, audio sources/stations, menus, and other touchscreen-controlled features. Because the system is actively issuing unintended commands, I must look away from the road to determine what changed and try to correct it. Additional phantom inputs repeatedly occur immediately afterward, forcing repeated attention to the screen and diverting focus from traffic, road conditions, pedestrians, cyclists, and other hazards. The ongoing, unpredictable malfunction increases crash risk. The safety concern is not that the infotainment system is inoperative; it is that the touchscreen actively generates unintended inputs while driving, creating a recurring distraction that cannot be safely anticipated or ignored. I previously brought the vehicle to a Dodge dealer for this issue. The dealer instructed me to contact Uconnect/Dodge Customer Care, though I do not know whether the condition was formally documented. Dodge Customer Care opened Case #97977966 and instructed me to return to the dealer for further diagnosis, which I intend to do. There were no warning lamps or messages before the failure. The first symptom was visible delamination, which progressed to phantom touchscreen activity. The condition is now present whenever the HMI is powered on. The touchscreen has not been repaired or replaced and remains available for inspection.

Driving along and all of a sudden the shifter lights started flashing, wipers turned on, steering became difficult, and finally the transmission locked up. Stalled in the middle of the hiway turn lane and because the transmission was locked up it couldn't even be pushed out of the way. Traffic was backed up and people trying to get around because I was blocking a major hiway intersection. The dodge dealership has had the car 3 times and finally diagnosed it as the rack and pinion plug.

I purchased the vehicle which had minor passenger door damage under $500. There were false reports on Copart and Autobidmaster about the vehicle. They lied and said the vehicle was 91.2 percent damaged. The businesses are false. They admitted insanity as their fraudulent motivation. The title should be clean title and the door has been completely repaired. The title to the vehicle should be in my name. Car is ready to be registered. The reports from State Farm Insurance, Copart and Autobidmaster were what they said were false attempts to keep me from registering my vehicle I purchased. This has been ongoing since February 2025 and they are the guilty party.
