The vehicle's LCD screen has become delaminated which causes the control of the radio, air conditioning, navigation, and other features controlled by the "radio" portion of the car to become dysfunctional. The car will randomly beep, change air temperatures, start radio channels to scramble and back up camera works only sporadically. This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to AC/heat, navigation or radio (volume, etc.). This appears from Chrysler Forums to be an issue among a large group of Chrysler 300 Year Model 2018 owners. I am encouraging them to file a concern with your group and to ask for a recall of the car for this reason.

Date: February 22, 2026 VIA CERTIFIED MAIL FCA US LLC Customer Care P.O. Box 21-8004 Auburn Hills, MI 48321-8004 RE: FORMAL COMPLAINT – Safety Defect (Rearview Camera Failure) Vehicle 1: 2012 Chrysler 300S (VIN: [XXX] ) Vehicle 2: 2018 Chrysler 300S (VIN: [XXX] ) To the Chrysler Customer Care Team: I am a loyal, multi-vehicle Chrysler owner currently residing in San Diego County. I am writing to formally report a persistent and dangerous safety defect affecting both of my Chrysler 300S vehicles. Description of Defect: In both vehicles, the factory-installed backup camera has failed completely. When the vehicles are shifted into reverse, the infotainment screen remains blank or black. This failure significantly reduces rearward visibility, creating a severe safety risk for pedestrians and property, especially given the known blind spots of the 300S model. Legal and Safety Context: As you are aware, Chrysler has issued multiple recent recalls (including Recall 24V-436) regarding rearview camera software failures. Furthermore, for the 2018 model, Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) No. 111 mandates a functional rear visibility system. The identical failure across two different model years suggests a fundamental defect in the camera hardware or wiring harnesses used in this vehicle line. Requested Resolution: As a long-term supporter of the Chrysler brand, I am requesting a Goodwill Repair for both vehicles. I ask that Chrysler authorize a local authorized dealer in San Diego (Chula Vista/National City) to inspect and repair these camera systems at no cost to me. Please respond to this request in writing within 10 business days. I have also opened a report with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) to document these failures. Sincerely, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Head light assembly quit working, i.e no headlight in Decemeber 2024. I had the unit replaced, paid $1448.40 for part, 299.92 for labor to replace the complete headlight assembly. It is now June 2025, and it has failed again. It is unsafe to drive when the headlights don't work, and Stelantis and the dealer seem unable to fix the problem, and I do not feel that I should have to pay another cent on a safety feature as essential as a headlight assembly that doesn't work!

Chrysler needs to recall this issue. Many people are having this same screen issue. Chrysler, Please do something about this. This has been known to be a safety issue, as when it gets bad enough, the screen will black out. Delamination on screens has been known to cause the screen to black out, especially during backing, and buttons will randomly be pushed. Chrysler, recall this issue. Thank you.

There were 2 separate incidents that occurred. The first one we were backing out of our driveway and the car just stopped running. We were unable to start it again after a dozen attempts. We had the vehicle towed to a local shop and when they got in the car, it started right up. We drove it around for a few weeks before the 2nd incident happened. We were driving on the freeway this time and the car just stopped running. We were in the fast lane and it was extremely dangerous to get off the side of the road due to heavy traffic. It again would not start and we had to have it towed home. Once it came off the tow truck, it started up. Something about it getting towed makes it start again, maybe the angle that it is in when it is getting pulled up on to the tow truck does something. I’ve been nervous to drive it for fear it will break down on me again. We have tried to start it again to take it to a service shop but it will not start. There were no warning lights before either incident. The first shop we had it towed to informed us after we dropped it off that the car was too new for them to run for codes, so they were unable to tell us the issues.

Chrysler Model 300s Vehicle, 2018, repair service by an authorized Chrysler dealer in Puerto Rico, certified the replacement of original manufacturer parts of the power steering (Rack-Pinion) on three occasions, which does not accept the programming of technical support by the automotive specialists of the authorized Chrysler repair shop. It is evident that this vehicle faces a hidden problem from the manufacturer which had not been detected until now. Diagnosis could not replace the part because the programming defect by the manufacturer was not found. It is important to start an investigation into the power steering known as (Rack-Pinion), it is working correctly for the driver's safety to drive safely on the roads without this defect, which could not be corrected by the automotive technicians authorized by Chrysler in Puerto Rico, causing an accident.

The touchscreen that controls the heating, defrost, radio, and various items cycles from one screen to the next is turning on and off each selected item rapidly. For example: one minute the defrost will be on, the next the radio will appear, then the phone, next other items. As it does this, it shuts items off like the heat and defrost. I believe that to be dangerous as the windshield will fog over impairing vision and it is generally distracting my concentration from the road. I have been online and there are numerous complaint and forums about this dangerous issue that should be addressed by the manufacturer.

This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to AC/heat, navigation or radio & It could easily cause a car accident. I have taken it to a Chrysler dealership where they told me I will have to buy a new one and it’s not covered under warranty. I personally am struggling financially and can’t afford it. I first noticed this a few months ago when the screen started getting big bubbles.

The trunk keeps opening on its own and it happens even while driving sometimes. I had the car for a year now and it has happened sporadically approximately 10 times since I bought it. I had the key fob replaced and the wiring looked at and was told there should be a recall because the electrical wiring is exposed and gets wet with rain. Corrosion sets in and the wires need replaced. I looked up other complaints and this is common for 2018 Chrysler 300. Please help. This should be recalled. Its dangerous esp when driving. I came out to my car after parking one day and my trunk was open despite the car being locked.

Our Chrysler 300 (2018) has the delamination issue reported numerous times on the Chrysler forum. Our car only has 35,000 miles on it. The delamination issue is definitely a safety issue. The radio station keeps rapidly changing making it useless. The safety part of the issue is that the heat/cool also stops working in the car and switches rapidly from one to the other. The Nav option doesn't work because the screen keeps changing. We talked to a few different repair places and they said they have seen this numerous times with the Chrysler 300. Chrysler needs to fix this.

I live in Phoenix AZ and when the A/C switches from cold to heater and turns on the seat heater I about pass out driving. It is too hot here to drive with no A/C and when the heater comes on I am trying frantically to turn off while driving. It is like the car has become possessed!!!

This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted in order to attend to the incessant beeping and issues related to AC/heat, navigation or radio (volume, etc.). My fuel gage is now not operating correctly. I have filled the tank up over 3 times and it only shows 3/4 of a tank.

So my radio is delaminating. This is a major safety issue as it’s distracting for the driver. It will ghost tap in random locations causing gps not to work properly which can result in a crash. A/c gets turned on automatically and will turn the heat on full blast which could caused issues on a hot day such as heat stroke or something similar, this is also a big distraction while driving having to turn constantly turn the a/c back off, turn the radio back off, fix the gps, ect. This is a common problem on this veh as there are tons of forum posts about it. Please force Chrysler to put out a recall for this issue.

The LCD screen is delaminated and additionally the control of the radio, air conditioning, navigation, and other features controlled by the screen portion of the car are dysfunctional. The car will randomly beep, change air temperatures, start navigation, cause the loss of hands-free communication. Most severe, the radio will turn on at full volume which is very startling to the driver. This is a safety hazard as it causes the driver to be distracted.

Back up camera problem screen either turns blue or is scrambled. This has been going on off and on for the past year sometimes it happens immediately upon putting car in reverse and other times whine in the middle of backing up. The car is with the dealer now Also door panels are separating from the front doors I have heard this is a common problem with these cars and I'm not sure if it could affect side door airbags.

The radio control screen that has all controls on it is failing it turns things like heat/ air off and on at random cannot bring up the vehicle info and setup turning the system off doesn’t help it. The front screen is bubbled. This is a safety hazard as it’s scrolling through items and you’ll reach to change it also the hands free will not work either therefore can be a hazard I was told by the dealer it will need replaced as nothing will work on it. The Uconnect doesn’t work either. If you set something in it such as air and direction, it will turn off and on and change where air is coming from the radio scans and goes to serrius radio ( I’m not subscribed) heated steering wheel comes on at random. Nothing works properly. It started with the backup camera not coming on all the time now it’s the computer / radio screen

LCD Display becomes delaminated, display settings won't stay set, jumps around, beeps non stop losing all saved settings; radio/SiriusXM stations change randomly, climate control changes randomly(AC/heat and seat), Navigation/ hands free communication lost, accesses my contacts and makes calls randomly, back up screen lost, all at the same time, very distracting being a safety hazard. Dysfunctional LCD remains, continues daily, is available for inspection and has been reproduced at the service center. Unfortunately the repair is very costly, therefore I must live with the distracted driving daily. I've reached out to Uconnect and Chrysler Customer Care for support and no response.

Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2014-2018 Dodge Journey, Charger and Durango, RAM 2500, 3500, 3500 Cab Chassis (more than 10,000lb), 4500 Cab Chassis and 5500 Cab Chassis, Jeep Cherokee and Grand Cherokee and Chrysler 300, 2014-2019 RAM 1500, 2015-2018 Dodge Challenger, 2015-2017 Chrysler 200, 2016-2018 RAM 3500 Cab Chassis (less than 10,000 lb), 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica and 2018 Jeep Wrangler vehicles. These vehicles are being recalled to address a defect that could prevent the cruise control system from disengaging. If, when using cruise control, there is a short circuit within the vehicle's wiring, the driver may not be able to shut off the cruise control either by depressing the brake pedal or manually turning the system off once it has been engaged, resulting in either the vehicle maintaining its current speed or possibly accelerating.
Risk: If the vehicle maintains its speed or accelerates despite attempts to deactivate the cruise control, there would be an increased risk of a crash.
Remedy: Chrysler will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the software, and perform a software flash on the engine or powertrain control module, free of charge. The recall began June 4, 2018. Owners may contact Chrysler customer service at 1-800-853-1403. Note: Owners are advised to stop using cruise control until the software update has been performed. In the event that cruise control cannot be disengaged while driving, owners should firmly and steadily apply the brakes and shift the transmission to neutral, placing the vehicle in park once it has stopped.
