The screen on the Uconnect/stereo system has de-laminated. This causes ghost touches and the screen jumps around on its own. Controls switch on their own, from media, to navigation, to climate, to controls, etc-??It will also make phone calls on its own and has even dialed 911. This all happens while driving. It causes a huge distraction which is a safety issue. It also makes the whole system inoperable. Based on my research this is a very common issue with 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokees.

I am experiencing recurring issues with the Uconnect infotainment system in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Specifically, the system consistently experiences problems with: -??-?? -??Station changes -??-?? -??Navigation functionality -??-?? -??Connecting calls through Bluetooth using my phone's contact list -??-?? -??Randomly turning the heating and air conditioning system on and off These issues occur constantly, making it difficult to utilize the Uconnect features safely and effectively. I am concerned about potential safety implications, such as distracted driving or loss of critical vehicle functions.

UConnect Radio - Delamination resulting in unpredictable, repetitive, and erratic touches on the screen. At this point, the screen's protective layer is separating from the display and it is causing ghost touches that activate various functions without my input. This has occurred numerous times throughout my driving experiences and occurs every time I drive. It has led to multiple unsafe consequences while driving, the main concern being that it is distracting and confusing leading to unsafe driving conditions. For example, the navigation system has suddenly switched routes, diverting me unexpectedly causing confusion, and has led to multiple near accidents in busy intersections. Additionally, the volume has randomly increased or decreased, making it hard to hear important sounds from the environment, such as sirens or horns from other vehicles. Had this occurred in a moment in which I needed to react quickly an accident could have occurred or my safety could have been compromised. Moreover, if the radio has inadvertently changed to an unrecognized function-?"like activating the Bluetooth or starting a call-?"this has been distracting pulling my attention away from the road in multiple scenarios. The vehicle has made unsolicited calls to emergency personnel which is both a distraction to me and an inconvenience to emergency personnel. Overall, the delaminating screen not only complicates my driving experience but also poses a significant safety risk to myself and others on the road. Addressing the issue promptly is essential to ensure a safe driving environment. I have tried to address this problem with Jeep directly via Uconnect and have been informed that they do not believe this to be a concern that requires addressing. The problem has been diagnosed by a Jeep dealer and has been confirmed by Uconnect directly. Additionally, the problem has occurred in multiple other Jeep vehicles.

The touchscreen radio panel is delaminating and causing the system to freak out. Sometimes the radio will turn on by itself and blare out music, or all of the fans will turn on turbo at once. The navigation will freak out and turn off and it will auto-dial or auto-hang up phone calls. Sometimes when I am driving down the high way, the air or radio blasting from out of nowhere and totally unprompted will scare me and cause me to jerk the steering wheel or become significantly distract from the road. Yes, the problem has been confirmed by the dealer, and it is a known defect, but they will not take responsibility for the safety hazard or the cost of replacement. No inspection by any outside parties, yet. No warning signs.. the screen just started to melt/delaminate and then all of the ghost features began causing chaos while driving.

- Charleston, SC, USA

The screen to the radio and the navigation is delaminating. This is a safety concern as the screen is uncontrollable and can not be used. This was confirmed by a Jeep dealership. Jeep will not acknowledge the problem or repair the issue.

this is a known jeep problem. the radio screen which controls not only the radio but other systems including ac/heat/defrost is delaminating and randomly clicks all over the screen. jeep is refusing to fix this known manufacturing defect because i am not the original owner. this is a very significant safety issue because a lot of the controls are via the screen including putting it into tow mode. it is also very distracting when driving and could lead to serious injury or death. this has been an ongoing issue since i purchased the vehicle and is getting worse. please advise.

I bought a 2018 jeep grand Cherokee limited on July 1,2024. A week after owning the vehicle the jeep kept shutting off while driving on the interstate and the dash said -?? put in P and push to start-?? none of the hazard lights came on. It just automatically shut off in the middle of traffic multiple times and when put into park and tried to restart it would take several attempts. This is unsafe and I-??m lucky I did not get into an accident since the vehicle is just turning off while I-??m driving on a busy highway not to mention almost getting into an accident since I-??m given no warning. I dropped off my jeep at the dealership and they have had it for two weeks stating they can not find any issues with the vehicle. This is frustrating and scary and do not even feel comfortable driving a the jeep that I owned for one week. I have read several complaints in the same issue and k won-??t seems to be able to find what is causing this issue.

The screen that controls many of the functions in the vehicle is delaminating and from online forms I have researched this is a very common problem.

- Rochester, IL, USA

Stop Start comes on and will turn the car off when stopped. I have to put the car in Park to restart the car. The deal said that there is no recall for this issue.

At around 66,861 miles my car started to do a weird shaking, slowing down on highway, rattling, and missing. I brought to dealer and they stated I needed an EGR valve replacement. This was done yet the code did not reset and the problem happened again. Now, I-??m told well my vehicle needs an egr cooler!"?? What is this? And why was this not communicated to me before I had the work done. Also, why would this malfunction so fast. This was July 18, 2022. There are no recalls but there should be with this happening so soon" I have children and this is scary on the highway.

The radio is delaminating causing defects. Changes radio station randomly. Adjusts heat settings and air conditioning settings without warning. Glue is melting and running down behind radio into storage compartment.

- Cameron , IL, USA

Brakes failed when attempting to slow down, ABS kicked in on dry blacktop with no lights on dash before locking up and throwing the vehicle off of the road. Caused me to wreck into a tree head on at 50 mph. Seatbelt did not lock up and airbags did not deploy. Vehicle was totaled with heavy front end damage including a bent and snapped frame. Prior to incident had issues with low beam headlights not working/going out prematurely. Was told by Herrenstein Jeep in Chillicothe this was not an electrical issue. Low beam headlights failed again 2 weeks prior to incident.

The infotainment center is defective and "ghost touches" all over the screen. This is a hazard when driving as the volume will be turned all the way up or the screen changes off of navigation mode to something else. Additionally, random phone calls will be made or if I'm on the phone, the call will be ended from the random touches. This ultimately results in distracted driving. The UConnect and CarPlay features are designed to minimize distracted driving, however this is simply counterproductive with the screen deficiencies.

There is a clear goo dripping out of the radio screen. This radio screen controls everything in my vehicle air, heat navigation, emergency calls, etc. is safety issue as it jumps everywhere, calls 911. Changes Channels on its own turns on heat and ac on its own. This is a safely issue as it distracts me from focusing on driving. Jeep won-??t replace it.

- North Port, FL, USA

The screen in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee which controls everything (radio, navigation, climate controls, etc.) is delaminating. This causes the screens to constantly change and override all driver selections. This is a significant safety concern and has become extremely distracting while driving. I am surprised that this has not been a safety recall, as there have been many class action investigations. This is a known manufacturing issue especially in the 2018 models.

The radio touch screen is delaminating causing the radio and its other features to change without warning creating a distraction for the driver. Navagation destination changes loosing route information causing the driver to slow down or stop to try to return to the selected route information. Phone calls are disconnected and the phone then indiscriminately dials a new number from the contact list. You hang up that call and the screen redials the number. This basically negates the functionality of the hands-free feature. This creates serious safety issues when the unit overrides driver choices, as it is distracting because it requires the driver to correct the changes brought on by the malfunctioning screen.

- Warwick, NY, USA

Touch screen started randomly changing radio stations, map kept popping up and it would randomly change inputs such as AM, FM, Sirius, etc.. Other pop up windows would appear such as updating clock, which it had already updated on its own and other window messages as well. Has happened 4 times.
