Uconnect System Malfunctions

Frequent complaints involve the Uconnect infotainment system. Issues include screen delamination, 'ghost touches' (uncommanded screen inputs), freezing, and random reboots. These can disable critical functions like the backup camera and climate controls, posing a distraction risk. Estimated repair cost: $300 - $1,500+.

Owners report instances of the engine stalling or shutting off while driving. Diagnosis can be challenging for dealerships, and the underlying cause is not always clear, potentially involving fuel system, ignition, or sensor issues. Estimated repair cost: $500 - $2,500+.

Interior Door Panel Detachment

Complaints mention interior door panels detaching or warping, exposing internal components. This can be an aesthetic issue or potentially lead to other problems if internal wiring or mechanisms are affected. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $600.
