Consumer Description

I am having problems with my 2018 Ram 1500 Uconnect system. With no input from me it asks if I want to reset the time and also gives me a message of function is not available while driving. When the Uconnect is doing this, all other functions (climate, navigation, radio, etc) are not available. Doing some research, I found this is a very common problem with Uconnect due the screen delaminating, yet Dodge is doing nothing to fix the problem except charging owners for testing and replacing. Doing some further research, I found where Dodge has issued a service bulletin (S2108000130) addressing the delamination issue but does not give a clear direction to the dealerships to fix the problem. Why this was going on, the dealership I purchased the vehicle contacted me. When I explained the problems I was having, there response was to trade the vehicle in. Instead of helping fix the problem, they wanted me to buy another vehicle. After locating the service bulletin, I took my vehicle to another dealer. They refused to even look at the vehicle and wanted to run a system test on it. I explained that you could actually see the delamination and a test would not be needed due to this. They also refused to look at the service bulletin I had located. Since this is a known issue with the Uconnect, a service bulletin being issued and class action lawsuits being filed on this matter in other states, I want my Uconnect replaced at no charge. My vehicle has under 49,000 miles on it at this time and I should not be having this problem.
