In owners' own words
Center console with touch screen delaminating screen cover causing random and continuous malfunctions to navigation, heating/cooling climate controls, media (radio, hands-free telephone, and numerous uconnect software applications), and rear backup camera function. Potential for serious distraction and loss of multiple safety components like change lane warning systems, anti swerve technology, etc. Electrical system
Blank screen, voice scrambled with incoming and out going calls and I have to press the hold button and immediately press off to recover conversations. Radio screen looks as if there is screen peeling from inside the screen. Most of screen is clear and looks as it should but about an inch from the top is a different color. The screen is constantly flipping from 1 screen to another. Electrical system
Jumped a vehicle at around 110000 miles ecm module draining battery according to dealer code p1df3. Known problem among multiple Chrysler dodge jeep products when I did a quick web search. Ecm faulty requires full discharge with battery cables removed. Did not work for me had to go to dealership to get them to flash and reset if I did not have a warranty they would have charged me.
