Summary

My car was in a collision yesterday. I was rear-ended and pushed into another vehicle, resulting in both front and rear impacts. The air bag did not deploy, even though I could smell it, as if it did deploy. Also, my car app notified me that the airbag had been deployed and needed to be taken to a service provider to be serviced. The problem is that no airbags actually deployed. So if I had been in a situation that required the airbags to save my life, I would not have had them. I feel like this could really be a problem if it happened in another situation & I wanted to let someone know so they can look into it.

Summary

UPON RECEIVING A PHONE CALL WHILE MY DEVICE IS CONNECTED TO THE UCONNECT INFOTAINMENT SYSTEM, THE INCOMING RINGER VOLUME IS SET TO MAXIMUM LOUDNESS. THIS CANNOT BE CHANGED. THE RINGER IS SO LOUD, IT IS STARTLING TO ANYONE WHO IS IN THE CAR. EVERY TIME I GET A CALL WHILE IN MY CAR (THROUGH UCONNECT), I JUMP. I THOUGHT A FRIEND OF MINE WHO WAS IN THE PASSENGER'S SEAT WAS GOING TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK. I HAVE TRIED CHANGING THE VOLUME ON THE RINGER AND IT CANNOT BE DONE. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN. I CONTACTED DODGE DIRECTLY AND I WAS TOLD THAT I NEED TO CHECK FOR UPDATES TO MY UCONNECT SYSTEM. I DID THAT AND THERE ARE NO UPDATES AVAILABLE. THIS NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. I HAVE CHECKED AROUND ON THE INTERNET AND HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE GOING BACK A FEW YEARS. DODGE HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY NEGLECTFUL WITH THIS ISSUE. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY.

Summary

THE SCREEN FOR THE STEREO CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES LIKE IT IS SHORTING AND THE TOGGLE BUTTONS CONTINUOUSLY FREEZE. WHEN TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, THEY SAID THERE IS NO ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SAID I NEEDED TO MAKE SURE MY CHARGER HAD NO DUST IN IT AND MAKE SURE THE SLOT HAD NONE EITHER. THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW AND I WENT DIRECTLY TO MY PHONE MANUFACTURER AND PURCHASED A BRAND NEW DUST FREE CHARGER. ISSUE HAPPENED IMMEDIATELY. THE DEALERSHIP GAVE ME ANOTHER CHRYSLER MADE CAR WHILE THEY HAD MINE, NOT ONE ISSUE OF THIS. MY OLD CAR WAS CHRYSLER MADE, NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS EVERY SINGLE TIME I DRIVE THE CAR AND THE FACT THAT NO ONE WILL FIX IT IS CRAZY WHEN MY CAR HAD 18 MILES WHEN I PURCHASED IT LESS THAN A MONTH AGO.
