2017 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

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.

RADIO TOUCH SCREEN SYSTEM PRESSES/SELECTS ALL TYPES OF BUTTONS BY ITSELF. CHANGES SCREEN SETUPS ETC.

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.

TOUCHSCREEN RADIO IS DELAMINATING. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE IS CONTROLLED BY THE RADIO. THE DELAMINATION CAUSES 'GHOST' TOUCHES ON THE RADIO. 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.

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.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, ONLY TOUCHING THE STEERING WHEEL (AT 70 MPH), THE RADIO CHANGES STATIONS, BEEPS CONSTANTLY, & THE SEAT WARMERS ARE TURNED OFF IN THE CONTROL CENTER. NOBODY TOUCHED ANYTHING. THE CONTROL CENTER WON'T QUIT BEEPING AS IF SOMEONE IS CHANGING THE RADIO STATION.

THE INTERIOR DOOR PANELS ON ALL FOUR DOORS ARE LIFTING OFF AND PEELING AWAY FROM THE DOORS. THE PANELS ARE PEELING MORE AND MORE EVERY WEEK. EVENTUALLY, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH THE PANELS WILL COMPLETELY COME OFF AND EXPOSE THE INNER DOORS.
