What owners report
Bought the car brand new, the radio and navigation system will reset/ stop working completely in the middle of a trip. Sometimes it won’t even come on have to turn the car off and on again to get the navigation screen to come on.
I purchased the vehicle brand new in October 2025. Before there was even 3000 miles on the car the brakes had formed a wobble. The brake wobble has worsened with the use of the vehicle.
The infotainment system always reboots. The screen will stay black or frozen. The system is constantly needing to be rebooted by holding the power button until the dodge logo comes up. The back up camera gets stuck when in reverse then going to drive.
I am a police officer and this is in regards to my police department vehicle and another one on the department. The windshield has a deformation in it and causing a "ghosting" issue. It is mainly an issue at night but it affects my vision.
My fuel tank was practically emptied by "gas thieves". The fuel filler compartment remains unlocked regardless of whether the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
