Problems with 2018 Dodge Challenger ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 dodge challenger. while the contact's son was driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle suddenly stalled. the vehicle was unable to restart and was towed to island chrysler dodge ram (located at 1239 hyland blvd, staten island, ny 10305, 718-667-8989). the dealer diagnosed that the transmission and rear differential needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. after leaving the dealer, while driving, several warning indicators illuminated on the instrument panel. the contact returned the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the axle, ignition coil, spark plugs, anti-lock brakes, and stabilizer bar needed to be replaced. the dealer repaired the vehicle, but the failure continued. the manufacturer was contacted and advised the contact to call the national center for dispute settlement for further assistance. the contact called the national center for dispute settlement and was provided case number: 32195089ny. the approximate failure mileage was 24,000. *tt *as

This condition matches nhtsa 19v-203 which is for 2019 dodge challengers. however i have a 2018 dodge challenger exhibiting the same symptom. while the car is in motion, and at random times every day, the entire instrument panel cluster will go dark. by dark i mean all illuminated feature on the instrument panel are invisible. the car does not stall, and it can still be operated, but i can not see my speed, rpms, or any operational data, thereby creating a safety hazard, especially at night. this has happened intermittently since i purchased the car.

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.

This has been going on for a year now and started the 2nd month i bought the car. what will happen is 1 to 2 times a week the uconnect 8.4c navigation screen will freeze on the screen it started up on and can not be change. you can make selections on the screen its stuck on, but when you need to with go to another page you cant. you must put the car in neutral and turn it off then back on to get the system to work properly. i let the dealer know during an oil change and they said they where not able to duplicate the issues. i then took the car in 3 months later and again they could not duplicate the issue. when i asked for records of my complaint and the car in the shop they said they could not find them. i will be taking the car to another dealer as the one i was going to is horrible. also the issue happens at anytime i could be stationary, or driving, when driving it becomes a safety issue as i turn off and back on the car while in motion

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.

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

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.

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.
