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 navigation, cause the loss of hands-free communication. 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 2018-2020 owners. I am encouraging them to file a concern with your group and to ask for a recall of the car for this reason.

This Chrysler 300 is equipped with side view mirrors which tilt down when vehicle is placed in reverse gear. It is suppose to tilt a few degrees so that you can see noting is under your rear tires such as a small child or o pet cat, dog,etc. However this vehicle s mirrors tild down so far the only view you have is the ground area directly under the drivers /passenger front door. You could see a child or pet or even to safely back the vehicle up. I have taken this to the dealership they tell me there is no fix for this condition Is this something associated with just this car??? Or, have other vehicles had this problem??
