There is a backup camera recall for the Dodge Journey that I have been experiencing with my 2017 Dodge Journey since after the third year of owning my vehicle, I have replaced it twice already out of pocket, and now it’s happening again for the third time. My Dodge Journey needs to be included in this safety recall.

Rear backup camera recently went black while still displaying check your surroundings message, and immediately returned to normal after a few seconds. Approximately one week later the image flipped 180 degrees to a upside down position in which I lost perception of where I was while backing up. Thankfully the warning beeper was working and I stopped before backing into a car in a busy street.

The main screen for uconnect went dark after turning on the car (parked). No radio, no a/c control, nothing in the center console would work. We live in fl and no a/c is a big problem, specially when you have a toddler and a baby.

I can be driving or parked and the a/c keeps coming on every time I shut it off it comes back on. I have only had this vehicle since feb. 14, 2018 and if this is going wrong now I am guessing the wiring in my dash is not good.

Not vehicle specific. There is much concern over distracted driving. Cars produced today can not be driven without viewing the dashboard video display.
