NHTSA complaint #11364583, filed 2020-10, 63,000 miles“The main screen for uconnect went dark after turning on the car (parked). No radio, no A/C control, nothing in the center console would work. We live in fl and no A/C is a big problem, specially when you have a toddler and a baby. I went to my destination with the dead console. I went back in the car, this time everything was ok.
