POWER TRAIN, STEERING
Turning the car on, there was a failure of our power steering and the steering wheel was not functional. Check engine light and power steering error lights came on. After turning car on and off, we were able to drive (check engine light remained on) to a dealership. They performed a software update that Chrysler released in Oct 2022. This is the second time this has happened to us (first in April 2022, car had to be towed), there are forums of similar issues for this model. Dealer was able to pull the codes and said they have seen other similar instances of this issue. "We cannot guarantee this won't happen again" it was physically inspected and did not see any obvious issues. This is absolutely a safety issue and should result in a recall in my opinion if it is a known issue that is a safety hazard.

STRUCTURE:BODY
The sunroof glass exploded during a highway drive. A sudden loud explosion sound caused a big disruption to me, the driver. The glass pieces fell inside the vehicle. No one was injured but I found several interiors places, such as console trim, seat leathers were scratch by glass pieces. There was no waning or anything abnormal. It just happened suddenly. There is no truck in front of us. Just a SUV in from of us in the lane right to us. No cliff or anything that rocks can fall from.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
The Uconnect Infotainment system frequently malfunctions. Because it is linked to the heating/cooling/defrost system it has caused the heat to turn on in dangerously hot weather while my 91 year old aunt was waiting in the car for me to pick up her prescriptions at Walmart. It also blanked out while I was using the navigation system in heavy traffic to find the Amtrak station during rush hour traffic in Philadelphia. Finally the same system blanked out a few days ago while I was driving to work and dialed the SOS emergency number. After a few minutes I was finally able to communicate to the emergency response agents that I was not involved in an accident, that it was a system malfunction. This has been an ongoing issue with the Uconnect 8.4 inch touch screen system. Chrysler FCA has only recently reluctantly admitted to being aware of the problems. When I notified them of my problems with the system in May 2022 their response was that since my vehicle was past the 36,000 mile warranty period that I would have to have it replaced at a dealer at an out-of-pocket cost of over $1300. Subsequently there has been an overwhelming flood of identical reports and complaints on Youtube, Facebook, Reddit, etc. When I contacted Chrysler FCA earlier this week their response was that I would be given a case # (which I was) but that I would then have to make an appointment to have it diagnosed at a dealer (for a fee). Then the dealer would possibly order a replacement. Reports on forums indicate that the replacement units typically take months just to arrive at dealerships. Finally, I have read numerous reports that the replacement units experience the same problems after a short period. I just read several reports of customers stating that they are on their 2nd and 3rd Uconnect replacements!

POWER TRAIN, UNKNOWN OR OTHER, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
When driving the vehicle it's like the transmission is slipping through the first few gears then all of a sudden it takes off. if you try to accelerate it just winds up and then bang it takes off. when coming to a stop it downshifts hard. When driving around a corner you slow down your foot off the pedal, then when you get through the corner you go to accelerate again and it has a dead spot, no power, it's like it died and you have nothing then again it takes right off. Really dangerous, I first thought the car was dead, with no power but then it takes off like a rocket. It acts worse when the start-stop button is depressed so that the engine stops at red lights or when the vehicle comes to a stop. If you turn that off the vehicle seems to run a little better but still cuts out. Almost like someone flicking a light switch off and on with the power of the vehicle. The dealership says they are booked out until March 25th to even take a look at it.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
There has been a safety recall since June of 2022 out on my car, and the manufacturer has failed to provide a timely remedy for the situation. I have since taken it to have work done for a permanent code (caused by the recall), and spent time and money trying to resolve the safety issue that the manufacturer has failed to. I am concerned that I am driving a car with a safety issue that has not yet been resolved after nearly 9 months.
