    Electrical System

    The vehicle's travel link system gives weather warnings that pop up on the radio/navigation screen, while the vehicle is in motion. The current weather warnings are from counties that are 100's of miles from my area, and even in another state. Once these pop ups occur, you take your eyes off the road to ensure they are not of importance for your area. I was told by sirius xm that there was no way to disable this…

    The vehicle after being started and driven will not shut off. The engine will eventually turn off but the car remains in accessory mode until completely draining the battery. The vehicle then has to have the battery powered up separately and restarted.

    Uconnect radio continuously has weather alert pop-ups that are a big distraction while driving. A weather alert that is pertinent to the area that you are in would be acceptable, but alerts for counties that are 100-400 miles away causes continual spamming of the radio, which is a huge distraction to a driver. Contact to both sirius xm and fca have yielded no results. There is no way in the options to disable this…

    Since approximately 4,000 miles we have experience numerous electrical issues. Our back-up camera, navigation, radio, and a/c work intermittently. The dealer initially felt the battery was backfeeding the system causing a short. That was quickly changed and we are still just waiting for an answer. While parked overnight, one of the map lights came on and could not be turned off. The overhead control panel was…

    Electrical System

    The entire 8.4" screen on the dashboard flashes on and off continually whether the vehicle is running or not. Seems like there is a major short in the electrical system. While this issue is happening you have no control over heating, ventilation, radio, navigation, apps or apple car play. Also, while driving at night the flashing screen causes a hazardous distraction in an otherwise dark vehicle.
