There were also random electrical occurrences as well, rear wiper running with switch in off position. The engine light was now on and there were numerous messages coming up on the display. After coming to a stop and putting the vehicle in park, I restarted the vehicle. Numerous vehicles at highway speeds had to make rapid maneuvers to avoid hitting us. Steering and braking were impaired as i tried to get the vehicle to the emergency lane.
The "D" on the shift indicator was blinking telling me to put the vehicle into park to restart. Suddenly the engine shuts off and random messages pop up on the display. On our way to the grocery store, I turned onto the highway and began accelerating. A few forums indicating how widespread this is: - Winchester, VA, USA I would respectfully request you look into this. Let me be clear, I am not trying to avoid an out-of-warranty repair on my dime, but I truly believe that the random activation of many of these systems - and the inability to disable most of those - is so distracting that it presents a major safety issue. To this point, FCA is refusing to address if out of warranty (which many, including mine, now are). This is apparently an issue with tons of Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge and Ram vehicles.especially 2018 and later. Now imagine that happens randomly while you are driving down the road!) interfaced mobile phone randomly placing calls (I have had this happen solved by disconnecting phone, but was extremely distracting the first time it happened) random activation of the rear-view camera while driving navigation system randomly activates (and tries to direct you somewhere you are not going) AND inability to disable the screen in order to alleviate the distractions (ghost touches automatically turn it back on). While some of these may not be considered safety-related (environmental controls), I would respectfully suggest that others are, including: random and unexpected changing, turning on or off radio various audio at various sound levels (imagine turning on your car and somebody jokingly set the radio to an extremely loud volume - funny, but not necessarily unsafe. Touchscreen interface (8.4" Uconnect) is delaminating and causing ghost touches which randomly select and activate systems on the screen, including switching screens to different controlled systems. Warnings: No, the car itself does not realize anything is wrong, it thinks that a human being is touching the screen, so it is doing the commands it is given. Mine is not as bad as others I have seen but I would like to get is replaced before it becomes an even bigger safety issue. Inspected: No, but I will give it to anyone to inspect. If the glue is melting in this weather, it needs to be replaced as a recall. I live in Cleveland, OH, the hottest it has gotten here is 90 degrees, this screen should have been tested well beyond that temp. This is a manufacture defect and should be covered by FCA. I called their customer service and they were 100% aware, they were ready with a replacement option right away but at my cost. Reproduced: This is a very well-known issue within the Jeep/FCA family of vehicles. In addition, after reading about other cases where the delamination is even worse, the glue that is essentially melting has been seen to start dripping on other components and wiring inside the center stack, like air conditioning and parking sensor control and traction control button. Safety at Risk: While it may not seem like a safety issue outright, when those phantom touches happen is very distracting to the driver. The digitizer on the display is coming unglued (due to heat), it is causing the touchscreen to do things on its own like change the time, call people, switch radio stations.
Component Malfunctioned: 8.4" Center display, it is available to inspect and there are many other vehicles with the same issue.
