2017 DODGE CHARGER Unknown Or Other Problems

Both the front door interior panels are warped. I had to glue them because they pulled almost completely off the door.

The stereo is making random phone calls, adjusting heat/air, changing stations and pushing buttons all on its own. This is extremely dangerous and distracting while driving.

The radio/head unit is pressing buttons all by itself. Will call 911, change settings, delete saved information, set random naviGation to the gps, changes a/c and heat settings, turns on different accessories without ever touching the screen. This is very dangerous.

The safety issue is due to the delamination between the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and touch screen digitizer of the Uconnect 8.4 Instrument Panel Module. This unit controls the infotainment system, navigation, and numerous vehicle settings. The failure mode of continuous false selections (ghost touches) is far beyond merely annoying. It is very distracting to drive a vehicle which is randomly switching to random modes. It is dangerous because the driver knows the car is changing functions without command inputs and is almost compulsively distracted to turn attention to the display to understand what happened and whether corrective action is needed. FCA offers no recourse other than component replacement by the dealer at owner cost if out of warranty. I was quoted a price of $1930 due to expiration of warranty. This is a known materials defect that should be corrected by the manufacturer regardless of warranty. As a material and manufacturing defect, the problem was present from vehicle assembly with high probability of manifestation at some future time.

2017 Charger UConnect system going crazy due to delamination problem causing driver to take attention from the road. Dodge knows of this issue but has not issued a recall.

My car has been rattling we thought it was the pullies for the belt idk what there called and i get almost home and my alternator locked up and broke the belt it also just started leaking oil after i had the dealership change the oil but the oil is sitting under the oil filter and its not leaking from the filter Reservoir i know there are recalls on the hemi motors for the oil leak just didnt know if yall were going to do one for the non hemi motors.

Upon starting out on a trip and with the navigation end point plugged into the onboard 8.4 NAV system, the NAV stopped working within a mile of the house. The arrow indicating the cars position on the map was totally wrong and the arrow did not follow the actual road. The NAV indicated the car was going off road and even into bodies of water. This was a dangerous issue because it required the driver to take their eyes off the road to ascertain what the issue was and cancel and restart NAV guidance. Cancelling and restarting NAV did not help. Once at the desired location the NAV was reset to come HOME and that failed totally. The car is parked 40 minutes from the previous destination, but the NAV is still showing the vehicle at the previous destination. A dealer recommended reset at home was done with no favorable results. The car has not been taken in for repairs while the internet is being searched for others that have had the same issue. Apparently this is a common problem and potential safety issue for the driver and occupants. This issue happened without warning and there was no warning.

The radio screen glitches selecting options on its own which it controls nearly everything in the car

The vehicles uConnect system screen delaminated on its own and did not impose a safety issue at first but now it is pushing buttons and dialing SOS/911 calls while driving which serves as a distraction because I quickly have to stop it from proceeding with the SOS calls mid driving. I have contacted Dodge who, because I am out of warranty, won’t fix it. This is a very common issue and I found this out when I did a simple Google search. Many people have experienced this same issue. This should have been a recall.

The Uconnect radio has a defect where the touchscreen separates from the radio. The touchscreen starts doing phantom touches on its own and it is very startling. It goes out of control and repeatedly changes settings and applications. It becomes a very serious road hazard as well as health hazard. It is distracting with the beeping noises it makes and the jumping around of the screen. It phone dials people on it's own while I am driving. It will also change the A/C to heat and that is not good during a Florida summer. An additional issue is as the glue melts, it can leak onto the wiring of all the components under the screen including the AC, all the parking sensor and traction control off controls. Yes it is available for inspection. The dealership said the only resolution is for me to purchase a brand new radio. This is a defect!

Door panel detaching at the top by the window. Passenger side first and drivers side is starting. Pinch hazard and possible additional damage due to it being loose if side airbag deploys. First noticed 9/27/21.

Uconnect screen is delaminating. This is a huge safety concern because the screen is used to see the backup camera, use the phone to call 911, switch vehicle option to assist in driving the vehicle and simply hearing the radio for reported hazards, weather, etc. I would have had this repaired sooner under warranty, but I was not aware that this was such an issue. The screen is continuously getting worse. I am in numerous forums that are reporting the same by hundreds or more owners of dodge, ram, Chrysler, jeep owners.

Door panels seem to be separating/coming apart. I have a concern this could negatively affect side impact/airbag function.

I have noticed this problem a Coulee times and couldn't diagnose because it would flash on the display behind the steering wheel for less than a second over the last 2-3 days driving the vehicle. 8/3/21 The issue got worse due to the message flashing flashed in longer increments, service stability system. I automatically got worried, but as i climbed a mountain in Western North Carolina the message also said ABS SYSTEM, Power steering system and turned off power steering automatically making new use force to turn the vehicle on a curvy road up to clingmans dome. The power steering got me shook as i have enough skill to not cause an accident, but after getting down the mountain to Sevierville, tn it got worse. All the lights starting random flashes, and then nothing. No issue, no warning lights, nothing. The emergency brake light came on and went off in no specific rhythm, again the abs system, and mainly the stability system started coming on, and power steering went off again with no reason. I then drove to my jobsite with 0 other incidents for the next 20 minutes. I do not know the issue but it started with the stability system flashing. The electrical seems to not be functioning correctly placing my safety at risk.

Delamination of the cars uconnect screen makes viewing the cars reverse camera nearly impossible causing a safety issue while reversing i cant see if there is a kid or incoming traffic that i may be backing into this is a Comon issue that the dealer won’t replace once the car is out of warranty the vehicle hasn’t been inspected but the dealer has said that this is a Comon issue

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.

I'VE BEEN EXPERIENCING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY SCREEN. IT'S AFFECTING THE USE OF MY RADIO, HEAT, DEFROST (WHICH I NEED FOR VISIBILITY). THE DOOR PANELING IS ALSO PULLING AWAY FROM THE DOOR FRAMES.

THIS CAR DEFINITELY HAS A WIRING ISSUE. SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T START. IT IS NOT THE BATTERY & IT IS NOT THE STARTER. OCCASIONALLY THE RADIO WON'T WORK. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, IT LOSES ALL POWER. SOMETIMES THE HEADLIGHTS JUST GO OUT. NOBODY CAN SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE.

I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2017, A MONTH AGO I NOTICED WHAT LOOKED LIKE A WATERMARK IN THE SCREEN OF MY RADIO, IT IS STRETCHING ACROSS THE SCREEN. I USE THIS TO MAKE PHONE CALLS SINCE WE ARE NO LONGER ALLOWED TO USE OUR CELL PHONES. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THE 2017 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE AND THAT IT SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND SINCE THEY ARE AWARE OF THE DEFECT THEY SHOULD FIX IT AT NO CHARGE. THEY CAN'T JUST REPLACE THE SCREEN THEY HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE RADIO AND IT IS ALMOST 2,000$. WHEN I CALLED THE DODGE REPAIR SHOP WHERE I LIVE THEY SAID THEY WOULD REACH OUT TO DODGE SINCE THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND SEE IF THEY WOULD FIX IT. MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM. *TR

RECENTLY I'VE BEEN HAVING SOME ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE WITH IT TURNING ON AND OFF WHEN I FIRST GO TO START IT UP. NOW I AM HAVING A BIGGER ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR DECIDED TO TURN OFF ON ME MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. LUCKILY I AM FULLY AWARE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING TO ME WHILE DRIVING. I'VE TAKEN IT TO DODGE AND THEY SEEM TO NOT CAR OR EVEN TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG BECAUSE I CAN NOT REENACT THE PROBLEM, EVEN THOUGH I HAVE VIDEO OF IT NOT STARTING UP IN THE BEGINNING. SIMPLY BECAUSE THERE ARE NO CODES THAT COME UP, WHICH OF COURSE MAKES IT EASIER ON THEM TO JUST PUSH THE CUSTOMER AWAY. NOW IN MY OPINION I FEEL LIKE THIS CAN BE A LIFE AND DEATH SITUATION IF SOMEONE LIKE MY MOTHER OR MY GRANDMA OWN THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THEY WOULD NOW KNOW HOW TO CONTROL SUCH A HEAVY VEHICLE. I BELIEVE DODGE SHOULD LOOK DEEPER INTO THIS PROBLEM CONSIDERING THE FACT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF FORUMS ONLINE SUGGESTING A PROBLEM.

I GET REPEATED WEATHER ALERTS FROM U-CONNECT SCREEN SYSTEM. THE ALERTS COME FROM SERIUS SATELLITE TRAVEL LINK SYSTEM. THEY POP UP AND BLOCK WHATEVER IS DISPLAYED ON THE SCREEN LIKE RADIO OR MAPS. THEY CONTINUE TO BLOCK THE SCREEN UNTIL THE DRIVER REACHES OVER TO TURN THEM OFF - DISTRACTING THEIR EYES AND HAND FROM DRIVING! NEITHER SERIUS OR DODGE ARE UNWILLING OR UNABLE TO TURN THEM OFF. DURING A RECENT WINTER STORM THIS WAS VERY HAZARDOUS BECAUSE MANY ROADS WERE CLOSED AND I COULDN'T FIND A WAY HOME BECAUSE THE ALERTS WERE SO FREQUENT THEY CONTINUOUSLY BLOCKED THE MAP APP - AS I WAS TRYING TO DRIVE HOME.

THE UCONNECT INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM IN FCA VEHICLES HAS A DEFECT THAT WILL CAUSE MULTIPLE WEATHER ALERTS FOR AREAS HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY. THE ERRANT WEATHER ALERTS TAKE OVER THE ENTIRE SCREEN AND REQUIRE THE DRIVER TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD TO EXIT OUT OF THE ALERT. THE ALERT WILL NOT GO AWAY ON IT'S OWN, AND YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE RADIO OR HVAC SYSTEM WITHOUT READING AND EXITING OUT OF THE ALERT. ALSO, THE UCONNECT SYSTEM HAS NO OPTION TO DISABLE WEATHER ALERTS. IN OTHER WORDS, YOU CANNOT STOP THEM FROM HAPPENING IN THEIR CURRENT BUILD. I'VE CALLED DODGE AND UCONNECT MULTIPLE TIMES, AND THERE IS STILL NO RESOLUTION. ALL THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN IS UCONNECT NEEDS TO ADD THE OPTION IN THE SETTINGS TO TOGGLE WEATHER ALERTS ON OR OFF. IT SHOULD TAKE A PROGRAMMER AN HOUR TO ACCOMPLISH THIS SIMPLE TASK. JUST TODAY I GOT 4 WEATHER ALERTS FOR COUNTIES BETWEEN 140 AND 400 MILES AWAY FROM MY CURRENT LOCATION ON MY 5 MILE DRIVE, EACH ONE REQUIRING ME TO PHYSICALLY CLOSE THE SCREEN TO GET BACK TO THE NAVIGATION PAGE. FORCING DRIVERS TO READ AND INTERACT WITH MULTIPLE DEFECTIVE WEATHER ALERTS CAN BE AS DANGEROUS AS TEXTING AND DRIVING. WHEN I CALLED DODGE, THEY SAID THE ISSUE IS WITH UCONNECT. UCONNECT TOLD ME NOTHING CAN BE DONE. WHEN I MESSAGED DODGE, THEY TOLD ME SIRIUS XM IS TO BLAME FOR SENDING THE ALERTS. SO WE HAVE A 3 WAY FINGER POINTING CONTEST HERE THAT NOBODY WANT TO ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY FOR. ALL I WANT IS FOR UCONNECT TO GIVE DRIVERS THE OPTION TO DISABLE WEATHER ALERTS TO KEEP THEIR ATTENTION ON THE ROAD.
