“when using the automatic rain wipers with automatic headlights activated during the daytime the dash illumination is darken to night time values. Since the dash is digital along with the radio system, it is EXTREMELY difficult to see anything. It requires you take take your eyes off the road for a longer period to time to view any information on the dash or in the navigation/radio. The dash illumination should never darken during the daytime, unless the light value is decreased to what a nightime value would be.”
NHTSA complaint #11474589, filed 2022-07“Uconnect 12” Screen Blinds Driver With Full Brightness in Reverse. There is a software issue with the Uconnect 12” screen in RAM trucks. The issue arises in dark unlit areas when the truck is put in reverse, the Uconnect 12” screen is automatically switched to full brightness, resulting in blinding the driver so the side rear view mirrors become useless. There is no way for the driver to override this max brightness when in reverse. The Uconnect 12” screen should maintain its current level of brightness when the driver places the truck in reverse and not default to max brightness. …”
