UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY THE TOUCHSCREEN WENT COMPLETELY BLACK. AFTER FINISHING BACKING UP GOT INTO THE MAIN ROAD, THE SCREEN STAYED BLACK FOR A MINUTE. WHEN I WENT TO THE STORE I WAS HEADED TO, I TURNED OFF THE CAR OF COURSE, WHEN I CAME BACK TO START IT, IT WAS BACK TO NO NORMAL. WHEN IT GOES BLACK I CANNOT CONTROL THE AIR OR THE HEAT SINCE ALL THAT IS IN THE SCREEN. I HAVE READ SEVERAL THREADS ABOUT THIS AND THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE TO REPLACE THE SCREEN AND IT STILL DOESN'T HELP. I TRIED CONTACTING DODGE ONLINE THEY JUST TELL ME TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. NOTE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME ON MINE SO IT'S HARD TO TAKE A VIDEO/PICTURE BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GONNA HAPPEN AGAIN SINCE IT'S AT A RANDOM TIME. I SEEN SOME OTHER VEHICLES ONLINE WITH THIS TYPE OF SCREEN HAS BEEN ON RECALLED AND FIXED. AT THIS MOMENT I'M LOOKING INTO ANOTHER VEHICLE THAT CAN BE DEPENDABLE WITH THE AIR OR HEAT AND WHERE AND HOW MUCH IT BLOWS ALONG WITH THE TEMPERATURE. I HAVE 2 KIDS THAT CAN'T GET HOT IN THE SUMMER OR FREEZING IN THE WINTER DUE TO NOT HAVING CONTROL OVER THIS ISSUE.

THE WIRING CABLE THAT IS INSIDE THE WIPER CONTROL ARM TO THE LEFT OF THE STEERING WHEEL THAT CONTROLS THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS HAS CRACKED DUE TO THE FRAILE WIRES AND THE CONTINUED ACTIONS OF USING THE WIPERS. THE WIPERS STAY ON AT A SLOW SPEED ALL OF THE TIME. UNABLE TO CONTROL THE FUNCTION. WEARS OUT HW MOTOR FOR THE ARMS / WIPERS, AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE CAR. WHEN CAR IS STARTED, THE ARMS ROTATE NON STOP/ CANNOT FIND A REPLACEMENT FIX FOR THE PROBLEM. MY MECHANIC SAID HE CAN MAKE REPAIRS IF THERE WAS REPLACEMENT PARTS. I DON'T WANT TO DIE DRIVING THIS CAR. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO AVOID CAR CRASHED UP TO NOW. I NEED THE CAR TO GET TO WORK EVERY DAY.THE TRADE IN VALUE
