NHTSA Complaint #11061035 — 2018 DODGE CHARGER

2018 DODGE CHARGER WITH 8.4 U-CONNECT RADIO SYSTEM WITH SIRIUS RADIO OPTION. SIRIUS HAS WEATHER/TRAFFIC UPDATES WHICH CONTINUALLY POP UP ON SCREEN. I'VE DOCUMENTED POP-UPS NUMEROUS TIMES ON SHORT TRIPS. I'VE CREATED A LOG SHOWING AS MANY AS THREE IN A 20 MINUTE DRIVE.ADDITIONALLY, THE WARNING REPORTS ARE FOR AREAS OUTSIDE MY ZIP CODE (THEY ARE FOR ANOTHER STATE). A DRIVER HAVE TO TAKE THEIR EYES OFF THE ROADWAY AND LOOK AT THE RADIO DISPLAY TO CANCEL THE ALERT. SIRIUS AND DODGE ARE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO PATCH TO CURE THE ISSUE OR CANCEL AND TURN OFF THE ALERTS. I JUST SPOKE TO A SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE AT SIRIUS AND THEY WARE AWARE OF MANY COMPLAINTS. DODGE HAS BEEN MADE AWARE OF THIS SITUATION. THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT LISTED ON DODGE FORUMS. I AM A TRAFFIC SCHOOL AND DUI INSTRUCTOR FOR THE CITY OF LAS VEGAS. I CAN TELL YOU THIS IS A SERIOUS DISTRACTION THAT CAN CAUSE TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS BY DRIVERS DIVERTING THEIR ATTENTION FROM DRIVING TO CANCELLING THE POP UP NOTICES.
