Malfunction of display LCD screen has become delaminated causing loss of hands free communication, navigation, temperature controls, & settings. LCD screen sporadically goes off & on without being able to control display causing a beeping sound as it randomly jumps between screen settings.

Chrysler needs to recall this issue. Many people are having this same screen issue. Chrysler, Please do something about this. This has been known to be a safety issue, as when it gets bad enough, the screen will black out. Delamination on screens has been known to cause the screen to black out, especially during backing, and buttons will randomly be pushed. Chrysler, recall this issue. Thank you.

There’s been some sort of liquid in the tv screen for a while but now the tv does what it wants, makes random phone calls, changes radio stations, it just glitches all crazy pushing random buttons or just doesn’t work at all

The vehicle's LCD screen has become delaminated which causes the control of the radio, air conditioning, navigation, and other features controlled by the "radio" portion of the car to become dysfunctional. The car will randomly beep, change air temperatures, start navigation, cause the loss of hands-free communication. This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to AC/heat, navigation or radio (volume, etc.). This appears from Chrysler Forums to be an issue among a large group of Chrysler 300 Year Model 2018 owners. I am encouraging them to file a concern with your group and to ask for a recall of the car for this reason.

Back up camera not operating sometimes, its scrolling thru the contacts and calling people randomly. Stops GPS randomly. It's very distracting and dangerous!

My 2018 Chrysler 300 u connect radio screen is delaminating getting bubbles. It’s causing it to press random buttons uncontrollably which causes the control of the radio, air conditioning, navigation, and other features controlled by the "radio" portion of the car to become dysfunctional. It’s very distracting, climate controls turn on and off on their own, it’s makes phone calls on its own. The backup camera isn’t working right, The car is available for inspection. The safety of me and others is put at risk because it’s very distracting and unsafe to drive like this. This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to AC/heat, navigation or radio & It could easily cause a car accident. I have taken it to a Chrysler dealership where they told me I will have to buy a new one and it’s not covered under warranty. I personally am struggling financially and can’t afford it. I first noticed this a few months ago when the screen started getting big bubbles.

The Large Control Screen appears to have "delaminated". At first it only affected radio controls causing loss of function and random acts. It eventually progressed to fail other functions controlled by this unit including seat and communications functions which caused the unit to intermittently adjust seat and more seriously call emergency numbers randomly. The random adjustments significantly affected the driving safety of this vehicle and impacted local emergency call centers with calls. The dealer confirmed the malfunction and was unable to repair the unit. The failures were intermittent and so there was no warning when changes happened.

Jan 17, 2025

LCD Display becomes delaminated, display settings won't stay set, jumps around, beeps non stop losing all saved settings; radio/SiriusXM stations change randomly, climate control changes randomly(AC/heat and seat), Navigation/ hands free communication lost, accesses my contacts and makes calls randomly, back up screen lost, all at the same time, very distracting being a safety hazard. Dysfunctional LCD remains, continues daily, is available for inspection and has been reproduced at the service center. Unfortunately the repair is very costly, therefore I must live with the distracted driving daily. I've reached out to Uconnect and Chrysler Customer Care for support and no response.

I started having problems with acceleration, I would go to pull out and the car would choke. When I put my car in reverse I would get an error message telling me to put my car in park and then desired gear. When I did that it would not go into reverse, I would have to shut my car off and then restart it. At time the check engine light would come on and then go off. I attempted to have it checked multiple times but when I got to the dealership it would be off again. I finally was able to get it to the dealer while it was on and was told I needed a new transmission and I would need to bring it in for a full diagnosis. I got it to a transmission shop shop and had the transmission replaced. When he ordered the transmission and installed it the transmission module was bad. I really feel due to the fact that a brand new transmission had a defective transmission module that the issue is that the model transmission in that car is defective.

Head light assembly quit working, i.e no headlight in Decemeber 2024. I had the unit replaced, paid $1448.40 for part, 299.92 for labor to replace the complete headlight assembly. It is now June 2025, and it has failed again. It is unsafe to drive when the headlights don't work, and Stelantis and the dealer seem unable to fix the problem, and I do not feel that I should have to pay another cent on a safety feature as essential as a headlight assembly that doesn't work!

Jun 30, 2025

Passenger headlight assembly stopped working. This is a dealer only part and will cost me over $2000 to. Fix when they get one in stock! This could be months, I have to drive with one headlight because one is dead and Chrysler has no parts.

There were 2 separate incidents that occurred. The first one we were backing out of our driveway and the car just stopped running. We were unable to start it again after a dozen attempts. We had the vehicle towed to a local shop and when they got in the car, it started right up. We drove it around for a few weeks before the 2nd incident happened. We were driving on the freeway this time and the car just stopped running. We were in the fast lane and it was extremely dangerous to get off the side of the road due to heavy traffic. It again would not start and we had to have it towed home. Once it came off the tow truck, it started up. Something about it getting towed makes it start again, maybe the angle that it is in when it is getting pulled up on to the tow truck does something. I’ve been nervous to drive it for fear it will break down on me again. We have tried to start it again to take it to a service shop but it will not start. There were no warning lights before either incident. The first shop we had it towed to informed us after we dropped it off that the car was too new for them to run for codes, so they were unable to tell us the issues.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, VEHICLE HAS NO POWER, CAN'T ACCELERATE. SHOWS CODES P0340 P0365 U1428. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED WITH THIS VEHICLE!

This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to AC/heat, navigation or radio (volume, etc.). This appears from Chrysler Forums to be an issue among a large group of Chrysler 300 Year Model 2018 owners. I am asking for a recall of the car for this reason.

1 complaint

Windshield seams unhinged, the interior panels buckled and unhinged obstructing airbags, and wiper dispenser malfunctions causing poor visibility while driving. I’ve experienced every disappointment and near dangers of uconnect to having the system replaced with the same brand to no avail. I have date stamped pictures depicting the unsafe issues. I even went back to the dealership of purchase to get answers. They confirmed having knowledge of all issues I mentioned but they have done nothing to repair, replace, or provide suggestions.

Front driver has lifted. Took the car in to have it repaired and they have no resolution. On 9/12/2022 I attempted to exit my vehicle and the panel had lifted such that the door would not open. The only way to exit my car was to climb over the center console to exit the vehicle. Only way to get door open after was to continue to pull up on the panel so I could place the locking mechanism in it's proper place. This could have been a severe safety hazard.

AIR BAGS,STRUCTURE,UNKNOWN OR OTHER

1 complaint

UNKNOWN. My door panels on all doors, aside from the drivers door are all warping away from the windows. It has gotten so bad that my doors will not lock every time. I have done a lot of research and apparently this is a safety issue b/c airbags have deployed unexpectedly, or have not deployed during accidents causing harm. The fact that I am a single, female, traveling nurse and my doors will not lock at times is definitely NOT ok. I took it to a shop when I had to get a scrape fixed and asked about the door panels. They were the ones to tell me that this is such a huge problem with my make and model of car that they never are able to get parts in for months at a time, and even when they do it is the same parts that I have and people always come back with the same problem. The fact that Dodge/Chrysler knows that this is an ongoing issue for their cars since 2014 and they refuse to fix the issue prior to putting them on the market is outrageous. I paid almost $30,000 for this car with the expectations that it would be safe, look like it did when I first purchased it (as long as no accidents happened etc). I am going to do whatever I can to make sure that this gets the attention it deserves b/c big cooperations like this should not be able to screw over their customers. Especially when it puts our safety at risk.

ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL FREQUENTLY FAILS TO WORK AS DESIGNED. VEHICLE WILL FREQUENTLY FAIL TO DETECT VEHICLES (IN ALL CONDITIONS, AND ALL DIFFERENT TYPES OF VEHICLES) IN FRONT OF IT AND NOT ONLY FAIL TO SLOW OR STOP, BUT INSTEAD ACCELERATES.

ADDITIONALLY THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE FAILS TO RECOGNIZE CARS IN ITS LANE AND WILL RANDOMLY PANIC BRAKE WHEN THERE IS NO VEHICLE IN THE LANE, IT APPEARS PICKING UP A VEHICLE IN THE NEXT LANE OVER. THIS OCCURS ON STRAIGHT ROADS AS WELL AS CURVED, WITH FLAT AS WELL AS VARIED ELEVATION. LASTLY, VEHICLE THREW 3 CODES FOR TRANSMISSION SENSORS AS WELL AS EGR (U0402, U0402PD, AND P1DD2) WHILE CASUALLY DRIVING. THIS CAUSED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON AS WELL AS VEHICLE TO GO INTO LIMP MODE. THIS CAUSED A DANGEROUS INCIDENT WHILE TRYING TO PASS A VEHICLE. VEHICLE IS IN SHOP FOR ISSUE ON 4/26.

THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL HAS BEEN MALFUNCTION SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. IT'S BEEN IN THE SHOP THREE OR MORE TIMES FOR IT. 2 DAY AGO I RECORD ON MY IPHONE AS THE CAR STARTED SLOWING DOWN DUE TO A STOPPED CAR AHEAD OF ME AND THEN SUDDENLY STARTED SPEEDING UP WHILE THE CAR IN FROM WAS STILL STOPPED DUE TO A RED LIGHT. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES BUT I DO HAVE A SMALL VIDEO. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF I CAN UPLOAD THAT SOMEWHERE FOR YOU TO VIEW. ALSO MY RADIO RESET TO ALL THE DEFAULT STATION WHEN I TURN THE CAR OFF. THE DEALER REPLACE THE SENSOR OR CAMERA THAT TRACKS THE ACC, BUT I'M STILL HAVE THE TROUBLE. ON THE SAME DAY I WAS DRIVING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND I SET MY ACC TO 35. I AIMED THE CAR TOWARDS A PARKED CAR, AND THE ACC DID NOT SLOW DOWN THE CAR, DID NOT FLASH THE BRAKE ALARM, OR DID ANYTHING. I HAD TO SWERVE TO AVOID A SWERVE TO AVOID A COLLISION. AGAIN I HAVE THE VIDEOS.
