Uconnect® 4C w/NAV with 8.4–Inch Display is delaminating. This is known to be a common problem with this vehicle. The touchscreen provides direct access to settings that affect the way the vehicle physically brakes and steers, all are configured via the Uconnect system, and that system with a defective screen can cause those settings to change without the knowledge of the user, introducing a safety issue.

Vehicle will all suddenly while driving on the roads with speed, dash will blink and start saying to select the gear. At this point vehicle either has to be put in parking (while trying to figure out where to pull over) and reselect the gear, or completely shut off, re start and select gear in order to drive. When the dash blinks vehicle accelerator just revs the engine, loss of power occurs. This especially happens after a fuel up and you move away from gas station.

The unit has been taken to Chrysler dealers in Puerto Rico three times. On each visit, we were charged $120.00 for a total of $360.00 for the computer scan. We were charged for an electrical module, part no. 68442478AB, worth $406.59. The situation has not been resolved. The vehicle has abnormalities in the braking system, which consequently affects other functions and even drains the batteries. I would like to sell the unit, but it is not resalable due to the unresolved…
