problem #6

Jun 102019

Challenger

  • 3,206 miles
Bought my car on May 7, 2018 brand new. It has 3206 miles, I really dont use it because it is used for pleasure/show but when I do the battery is discharged. I have had to call a total of 4 times-June, July, September, , October 2018 the battery discharged without any valid reason. In 2019 April, may the battery died again. The dealer took two weeks and finally changed the battery and reset the ibs. Hopefully this works but I needed to report it to someone. The dealer said that one reason why the battery discharges is because I dont drive it often.

Challenger

  • 6,000 miles
Started vehicle up, went to press car play on the uconnect screen and nothing happened. Tried pressing radio, apps, climate, nothing would work. Turned screen off then back on and still nothing would work. Sometimes if I go into reverse and the backup camera comes up, then go back to neutral/any other gear everything works again. Then other times I have to shut the car off completely then restart it for everything to start working again. This has happened 7-8 times since purchase new May 31, 2018

Started vehicle up, pressed auto for auto climate and the light turned on but that was it. Pressed max A/C on the uconnect system, still nothing. While driving around I turned climate control off and back on to max A/C about 4 different times trying to get it to work and nothing.

problem #3

Challenger

  • 100 miles
After starting my car, I plugged my phone into the usb port in glove box and phone wouldn't charge or show up on apple car play. Unplugged and plugged back in multiple times and same thing would happen. Turn car off and back on multiple times and all of a sudden it just starts working again. Sometimes works after first restart sometimes not at all until I leave the car for awhile and come back to restart it. Has happened countless times since purchase in May 2018, from day 2 of ownership.

problem #2

Mar 172018

Challenger

  • 2,000 miles
My radio screen constantly keeps rebooting or going on and off. Every time I hit a bump in the street or on the highway it goes off, then I hit another small bump and it comes back on. Sometimes I don't have to do a anything, just be sitting parked, and it goes out, which in turn, I can not use my backup screen cause it's not there! that makes it dangerous cause I can not see cars or pedestrians behind me. As you know, my radio screen is key to other features that I can not use because of the constant rebooting or going off and on.

The uconnect radio system is not working in the cars. As such, the system reboots the radio every 30 seconds. The radio controls the backup camera among other things. Since it continuously reboots every thirty seconds, the backup camera fails and you.cannot see people behind you. The potential for hitting pedestrians is horrible. People could be killed by this. Dodge knows about and doesn't know when it will be fixed.
