“The screen for the stereo continuously flashes like it is shorting and the toggle buttons continuously freeze. When taken back to the dealer, they said there is no issue that chrysler said I needed to make sure my charger had no dust in it and make sure the slot had none either. The vehicle is brand new and I went directly to my phone manufacturer and purchased a brand new dust free charger. Issue happened immediately. The dealership gave me another chrysler made car while they had mine, not one issue of this. My old car was chrysler made, never had this problem. …”
