![]() ![]() Touchscreen interface (8.4" Uconnect) is delaminating and causing ghost touches which randomly select and activate systems on the screen, including switching screens to different controlled systems. Warnings: No, the car itself does not realize anything is wrong, it thinks that a human being is touching the screen, so it is doing the commands it is given. Mine is not as bad as others I have seen but I would like to get is replaced before it becomes an even bigger safety issue. Inspected: No, but I will give it to anyone to inspect. If the glue is melting in this weather, it needs to be replaced as a recall. I live in Cleveland, OH, the hottest it has gotten here is 90 degrees, this screen should have been tested well beyond that temp. This is a manufacture defect and should be covered by FCA. I called their customer service and they were 100% aware, they were ready with a replacement option right away but at my cost. ![]() Reproduced: This is a very well-known issue within the Jeep/FCA family of vehicles. In addition, after reading about other cases where the delamination is even worse, the glue that is essentially melting has been seen to start dripping on other components and wiring inside the center stack, like air conditioning and parking sensor control and traction control button. Safety at Risk: While it may not seem like a safety issue outright, when those phantom touches happen is very distracting to the driver. The digitizer on the display is coming unglued (due to heat), it is causing the touchscreen to do things on its own like change the time, call people, switch radio stations. I have not taken my specific vehicle into a dealer/independent service center for verification because many of the same issues I've researched online and compared who HAVE had this independently verified mirror the exact same symptoms/issues.Ĭomponent Malfunctioned: 8.4" Center display, it is available to inspect and there are many other vehicles with the same issue. ![]() A potential safety issue exists as I was using the GPS at one point and a ghost touch caused it to jump to another screen just as I was approaching an intersection looking at which way to turn when the screen jumped to another option and I diverted my attention from the road to the screen to get it back to the GPS and find out which direction I needed to go. This severity and portion of the screen experiencing these ghost touches has continued to grow. During this expansion of the "bubble" or de-lamination ghost touches started happening causing the screen and operation to jump around. It has since grown to span about an inch of the entire top of the screen. This started as just a "bubble" on the screen that wouldn't go away in the upper section around 45,000 miles or April 2021. The factory installed Uconnect UAQ 8.4 inch screen (PART NO: 68306656AL) is de-laminating. ![]()
