“While driving, the lights on the dash control panel (speed, RPM's, blinkers, etc) turn off and on randomly multiple times. While driving, the lane sense will turn off and on randomly multiple times. While driving, the acc/fxcw will turn off and on randomly multiple times. While driving, the passenger window will roll down multiple times. While driving, the am/fm/xm radio cuts in & out. These things happen on city streets and the highway while the vehicle is in-motion. Issues typically take place when the temperature is below 30-degrees fahrenheit. …”

“The vehicle has a rear parking assist function. Via a Uconnect (touchscreen) system, the function can be enabled or disabled. The Uconnect system allows the operator to select whether the function will provide an audible warning or brake automatically if an object behind the vehicle is detected by any of 4 sensors installed in the rear bumper. The function can also be enabled or disabled via a physical button below the Uconnect system. I purchased the vehicle new and have owned the vehicle for 3 years. I have towed boats many times. …”

“When backing with trailer or and hitch usage the car will not allow the driver to turn off the parking assist “off” button its been a ongoing issue with many dodge vehicles and the dealer ships will say a update is needed and charge for it. How ever we dont know when its needed and get stuck in a parking lot tryna back up or in the middle of a street trying to back up a trailer. When you turn it off the button will turn it self back on and brake as if it is an emergency so your stuck with a trailer on the vehicle and cant park.”
