Carplay stops working at random. Was working fine, then stops. Only charges phone for a second. Then stops altogether. We've bought several new charges, apple name brand, tried several different phones & it still isn't working.

Sirius xm travel link constantly pushes notifications to the radio screen which makes the driver tale their eyes off of the road to clear the notification. Sirius xm adds the service to vehicles at no charge without the consent of the consumer to accept or deny the service and takes away the ability for you to request the service be turned off. I have made phone calls and requests to have the distracting service turned off and they refuse saying that because it has no charge they can't turn off the service.

When putting in reverse the backup camera display goes multi color blur.this was about 20K then corrected itself when put in reverses the next time. Didn't think much about it. Now at 42 K its doing it more often. Took it to the dealer and frank at vacaville Dodge tells me its out of warranty, when I had already seen there was a recall on this problem. I will document and take pics next time it does it.

Dodge is knowingly installing 18' spare tires and wheels on hd pickups where the vehicle actually has 20 wheels even though the customer is paying for a full size spare tire. This is dangerous, especially on a heavy duty pick up but also amount to fraud in that customers are paying for 20" wheels spare and getting an 18"

After buying this vehicle I noticed that the plastic trim around instrument cluster is cocked to the point where it is very noticeable. Is it a safety issue no but it is an appearance issue. Took it to the dealer where I purchased it on 1/21/19. They said it was fixed it's not fixed. Was told nothing can be done about it. Took it in on 3/7/19 said they adjusted the steering wheel cover. That's not what is cocked.

I'm having issue with constant weather alert pop ups on the screen in the center of the cab. This is very distracting while driving and it forces you to manually close the pop up to return to the screen. These alerts happen while the car is in motion and will happen several times during a 15 minute commute. This may seem inconsequential but it is no different then talking on the phone as it requires you to take your eyes off the road,

The fca based uconnect system with the 5 year siriusxm travel link subscription has a fatal software error with no solution. It forces persistent "weather updates", every couple of minutes, which are a full screen blocking notifications requiring the driver to physically interact with the screen to regain acess. These appear on any screen: Gps, radio, backup camera etc. And will not stop. There is no menu control to affect the problem, no ability for dealer to affect, sirius xm will not cancel under any circumstances or demands. This flaw causes terrible distraction from driving randomly and persistently and renders otherwise important systems useless.
