“The infotainment system is malfunctioning. It controls almost all functions in the car. While driving every setting it controls will randomly and suddenly switch to a different setting. You can not over ride it's random switching, even by turning it off. The dealer service manager has said the car is undriveable. If you did try to drive a large number of mechanical and electrical and software settings are switching as you drive. …”

“The driver seat belt buckle malfunctioned, the clip will not stay in no matter what. The dealership said the part isn’t available anywhere and is on endless back order without an ETA. As well as they are unsure of what parts are needed as there is an electrical part they confused if it’s needed that is also unavailable anywhere. The jeep/chrysler company itself has also been no help, it has been 3 weeks. I keep getting told the same thing and to “be patient” and that this is not a safety recall, even though the part isn’t available anywhere. The dealership confirmed its malfunction. …”
