2018 Dodge Charger - ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, and BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING Failure Complaint (#b0beff)

2018 Dodge Charger

  • Date of Incident: Apr-13, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-16, 2024
  • Failed components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, LANE DEPARTURE: BLIND SPOT DETECTION, and BACK OVER PREVENTION: REARVIEW SYSTEM BRAKING

The uconnect system in my vehicle has been delaminating and has been causing several issues in my vehicle where the blindspot detectors are not working properly and the back up camera is not working properly to notify me and alert me with whistles and chimes if a vehicle is driving behind me while i’m backing up or if a pedestrian is on my blindspot crossing near my car. The uconnect system in my vehicle is also causing issues where it is ghost touching and glitching my screen and clicking buttons i’m not clicking. Example trying to change the clock when i’m not clicking anything and when navigation is in, use the system clicks out of maps and starts clicking fm radio. It starts to change stations and put people on hold when i’m on voice connect over the vehicle. It will put someone on mute by itself mostly the fact that the camera is not functioning due to the uconnect being connected with the vehicle and causing it to malfunction. I’m worried it will start to click on other settings in the vehicle. There are many reports with dodge jeep, chrysler, and ram on all forums about this issue. I’ve notified the dodge dealership and uconnect and all the want to do is have me pay out of pocket for a new system that is $2000 not including labor. The uconnect system should be recalled from all vehicles from 2018-2023.
