UConnect 8.4 touchscreen just started going crazy like someone was constantly pressing multiple buttons without stopping. Makes it totally unusable. Distracting driver.

Communication screen started to delaminate and causes ghost touching. I can be driving along and the radio plays or changes stations, it has dialed contacts, etc. Without me touching the screen. When it happens it requires special attention such as trying to cancel a call being made or turning off the radio.

8.4-?? unconnect touch screen radio is bubbling. This bubbling causes the touch screen to select randomly. It will change climate control setting, screen settings, turn the radio on, turn seat heaters on, manipulate the navigation system. This becomes a large distraction while on the road and is extremely dangerous. This is a known issue with these radios in several Jeep/Dodge/Chrysler/Ram models. We have taken the vehicle to the dealer and asked for this safety issue to be addressed. They have responded that we are responsible to fix at our own cost.

My communication screen started to delaminate and causes ghost touching. I can be driving along and the radio plays or changes stations, it has dialed contacts, etc. without me touching the screen. When it happens it requires special attention such as trying to cancel a call being made or turning off the radio. Online searches seem to indicate this is a common issue with Jeeps and Chrysler products around the model year 2018. Naturally, the car company is hands off but my research suggested informing NHTSA as you may want to monitor how often this happens. Thank you.

The uconnect system has been malfunctioning. The uconnect system has all functions for radio, climate control, system functions, Phone, backup camera, gps, etc. the system started randomly making phone calls, switching radio channels, wanting to connect or disconnect devices, displaying the rear view camera and gps screen jumping around giving misleading directions all occurring while driving. We took the car in to see if it can be fixed. Jeep dealer advised a new system was needs at a cost of $1500. Jeep is unwilling to correct the condition without replacing the unit but there is no guaranty the issue won-??t reappear. Most recently there was a software push that will not load due the internal system error. Creating another distraction with a recurring error code popping up due to update failure.

I have a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland Edition. The laminate is coming away from the radio screen and it keeps showing an "adjust clock message" and "morse code" like beeping. It is a complete distraction. Due to the laminate coming away from the screen the unit starts overriding the driver choices, like the handsfree features, radio, heated seats, etc. This is a safety issue with the car controlling things the driver should be. It's been going on now for a month.

Control screen is delaminating causing ghost controls and making it impossible to adjust or turn on/off climate controls- AC, heating, dehumidifier-?? making it UNSAFE to drive. In addition radio stations jump from one to another - a mere distraction in comparison to the climate control problems Please recall !!

The touch screen on the info-tainment head unit is delaminating which is causing the screen to register touches that did not occur. These "ghost" touches are resulting in the head-unit changing settings, starting navigation without prompt, and making phone calls. The un-prompted phone calls has been particularly distracting as there is no means to hang up and has forced me to the side of the road several times to try and end the call. On occasion, the system has made calls to 911 without me prompting it. These incidents have made driving with the head unit operating un-safe

Radio does not work properly. The radio jumps around all setting, and makes calls if cellphone is connected.

- Rockford, IL, USA

Screen de-laminated, causing ghost touching and different radio stations to be selected nonstop, volume to increase/decrease without the ability to manually intervene, called 911 by itself while driving the vehicle.

- Media, PA, USA

Screen delamination of the connect screen has started causing severe ghost touching. Making the system useless and distracting. Unable to use handsfree systems, navigation, radio, or access vehicle settings including the jack mode for the air suspension. On my vehicle it has not been diagnosed by the dealer but this is a known and common issue with this system for 2018 and 2019 and fca\stellantis needs to be forced into a recall for this.

- Jacksonville, FL, USA

There is an electrical failure that causes the blinkers to stop working, shortly after noticing this issue the vehicle will fail to start after travelling to my destination. This has happened more than twice and there are no recalls shown for the "Limited" version of this vehicle. The standard edition seems to have confirmed recalls for the same issues that the Limited version is experiencing. A mechanic has described an electrical short circuit. I encourage looking into the different models of the 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee in which you'll definitely find the same safety issues described online by many others. These repairs need to be addressed and repaired by the manufacturer. Thank you!

I am the original owner of a 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 45,000 miles on it (it is out of the warranty period). About 9 months ago, I notice a portion of the center screen becoming delaminated. Then about 4 months ago, the screen started to act up - ghost pressing certain areas of the screen, without me touching it (automatically turning up the volume, turning on heated seats (in Florida), changing audio sources, changing the gps, etc.). It's extremely distracting when I drive. Last week, it even dialed 911 on its own while I was driving it. I contacted Jeep Cares and was instructed to take it into a dealer for a diagnostic check. They are charging me $190 for this. Even when they find the screen defective, I'm fearful that I will be charged the $1,600-$2,000 to have it replaced. This is a very known issue among Jeep/Chrysler owner - many forums like this (https://www.jeepgarage.org/threads/display-screen-starting-to-delaminate.224391/) prove it. Even though I am out of warranty, I feel that this should be recalled and covered at no charge (including the diagnostic check) since it's a major safety issue. The screen was defective to begin with - and after driving it for a few year, the defects were finally known. This needs to replaced ASAP before a severe accident takes place.

All features of the radio and heating and cooling system on my vehicle Do not properly work. The heat will switch to air at full blast without touching anything. The radio will switch between channels or stop working. You also cannot touch the screen to toggle. Or just the volume. this is extremely dangerous as it happens out of nowhere as you are driving. It is clear when looking online that this is a common issue. This is extremely dangerous. I have reported this to the dealership but they said they have not seen this issue. This is clearly not the truth since it-??s so easy to Google and see numerous reports of the same incident.

Screen delaminating, it is causing havoc on my driving with the screen having a mind of its own!

The unconnect stop working and the radio went black

- Terrytown, LA, USA

The UConnect in the vehicle delaminated, which caused a crack on the screen. Due to that, the back up cameras do not work & the controls for most things in the vehicle are unable to be used now because they are all connected via the UConnect.

- Townsend, DE, USA

The UConnect radio has delaminated and is available for inspection. Due to the delamination of the UConnect system it will randomly change channels, replace channels, and will skip around to other parts of the system. This issue does not always occur and is random and unkown when it may happen. When the system does this it is a distraction to the driver and could cause a potential incident. This appears to be a known issue with 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees and Dodge Ram pick up trucks based on a google search. There are several threads that discuss the issue and the safety concerns it may cause. There were no warnings of the issue. The delamination has been a slow process and was unaware of the issues that it could cause with changing stations and other items randomly.

- Maryville, TN, USA
