Consumer Description
The 8.4 inch Uconnect display acts like a ghost is pressing buttons. The radio will randomly change stations. Other modes - settings, navigation, etc will randomly be selected. When this happens cannot change any climate controls. Back up camera randomly gets activated. This is a SAFETY issue as it causes a distraction when driving. The display randomly changing is also a distraction. Researching the internet, this is not a new issue and is known. The display is "bubbling" or delaminating causing the ghosting of pressed buttons. I am out of the warranty by 6 months and am told this is not covered. I have called Uconnect (case #80418507) and they stated they cannot do anything until a dealer determines the actual problem, which I will have to pay for. I should NOT have to pay for this. This bubbling or delamination issue is well known and should be covered under a recall or warranty. This started last fall but I thought it was caused by a dirty screen. This has gradually gotten worse and happens more often.
