NHTSA Complaint #11537041 — 2018 RAM 1500

My uconnect infotainment unit is experiencing “ghost touching” . As I am driving at first the radio stations would change by themselves. They would go from xm to fm and etc. then my clock wouldn’t allow me to set the time. Now recently, as I’m driving, the unit is dialing numbers, reading text messages. It’s calling sos. The. My back up camera is on as I’m driving forward. Air conditioner going from high to low. I brought it into dodge and they told me it needs a new unit. I called ram and they said to bring it in to dodge and leave it there. They won’t let me. Ram told me to get a loaner but the dealership says they don’t have any. Ram also told me to get a rental but I don’t want to lay out $550-700 for a rental when I have no idea how long it will take for the part to come in. My truck is completely unable to be driven. I have had it parked with now car since August 1 when I came back from diagnostic . I am concerned that they will putting the same exact unit in there and it will happen again. I am clearly out of warranty. So as of right now I have no car, I have no idea when the part will be in and I do not the same exact unit put in the truck. It’s obviously a know issue but putting back the same unit is not going to fix the problem. They need to upgrade the entire unit like they put in the 2020s.
