My vehicle has a backup camera and also controls different functions of my vehicle the screen will completely blank or when I put into reverse the screen will show a distorted view on the screen or I will get bold colored lines on the screen with distorted views. I took a picture of the screen and took it to a Chrysler dealership while my vehicle was still under warranty the service advisor told me that he had never seen that before and they would have to keep my vehicle and see if it did it when they had it.I told him that I never know when it will do it .

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 ask for a recall of the car.

Laminate is melting on uconnect interface for control panel for climate control, navigation, defrost/defog, and radio. It's an anecdotal problem for many Chrysler/Dodge owners when scanning internet forums. Chrysler/Dodge has been unhelpful in rectifying the situation. This defect causes "phantom" screen touches which causes the navigation system to skip around to different destinations while in use causing the potential for an accident as the driver suddenly must change course when listening to verbal prompts. Further, the "phantom" screen touches causes the climate control to randomly shoot up to blast hot air in the driver's face while driving. Also, defrost/defog cannot be set and relied upon because "phantom" screen touches turn them off at random causing a driving hazard.

While driving the touchscreen would randomly switch from one source to another creating a major distraction. The GPS malfunctions and would give bad turn information. I'm visiting the dealership to see the issue so it can be safe to drive again.

The contact owns a 2018 Chrysler 300. The contact stated that the door panels on all four doors had started to independently separate from the door frame. She also stated that the center console had also began to separate. In addition, various electrical failures would occur while driving including the backup camera. The contact's boyfriend had taken the vehicle to an unknown dealer and was informed that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and she was given the same information as the dealer. The contact was then referred to the federal safety agency for assistance. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

My 2018 Chrysler 300 radio/infotainment/U connect system fails at the most inconvenient times. The screen will go black when backing causing the back-up camera to become inoperative, the system will drop phone calls, switch between radio stations, navigation will become inoperative. This has created some safety problems, especially when backing and using the navigation functions. It has also prevented me from using the hands free function when making and receiving phone calls. The touch screen started delaminating in November of 2021 and is progressively getting worse. Chrysler really needs to fix this problem before someone is injured.

The console monitor, which is part of the UConnect system, is experiencing a delamination of the screen. It started a few months ago at which time the problem was mainly cosmetic. The screen can be seen peeling away in the upper area. For the past few weeks parts of the screen along the peeling line activates, as if someone was touching the screen. This happens sporadically, but is increasing in frequency. It has become extremely distracting while driving, as it suddenly changes audio inputs and channels. In navigation mode, it changes locations on the screen or tries to cancel my navigation.

The radio, heat/AC unit, temperature moves up and down by itself, maps, etc... Took my car to my local dealership for routine oil change. I inquired about why my radio was on a constant browse? The technician explained that this has been a common issue with the Chrysler 300. Since then the issue has gotten worse. I feel if this is an issue that is happening in other Chrysler's maybe is should be fixed by Chrysler? This is my second 300 I love my car but this issue in a 2018 300 S?

A software update came on my screen when I driving. I pushed the update button on the screen and it started to update it stopped at 44% and then my car battery started losing its charge. After a few days the battery was dead and had to jump it to get it started. I took it to the dealer they said I would have to pay for it. I called uconnect they assigned me a case number to give chrysler where my car has been for 5 days.

I have found that going at lower speeds, like accelerating from stop, or driving thru a parking lot, the transmission jolts the entire car. Like it is slipping in and out of gear. It also seems to shift really hard in to second gear, not all the time but is just getting worse. The vehicle only has 26000 miles on it and has been serviced at the correct intervals. Also electrical issues with passenger side window motor, it does not want to roll up. This has happened 4 or 5 times in the last 2 weeks. Usb hook up for our phone does not recognize the device, after changing to a different port, still the same result.

Have several 'bugs' with stereo/nav/uconnect. Radio presets disappear. Nav volume decreases on its own. Bluetooth use interrupts nav...my local dealer and 'uconnect case manager' told me months ago that I need a new system yet it hasn't been approved/ordered. Very disappointed with chrysler customer service.

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. This has required manual braking multiple times to try and stop in time. 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.

I have had the car to the dealer twice for this same issue and it's back again. They said it was something that was not done correctly when they can was made. Say it a problem with the wiring harness, the repaired it last time and I fee it should have been replaced and not just make an attempt to repair. I purchased the can brand new and expected them to stay by their product and replace any problem parts that are found. Now I have to take off time from work again to have this issue addressed. The car can be parked and the day time running light with come on and go off at will. The front parking sensor will stop working out of the blue because I get an error message on the dash. Then it will just start working again. Same with the front right fog-light does the same thing come on and goes out at will...
