1. Turn signal gave me error message that I need to replace it with turn signal flashing like it is out , even though it was working fine
2. uConnect.... oh God, this is terrible, constantly shuts down and freezes while driving, especially when it is cold outside
3. Back up camera, after a long drive it fails or image is very pixelated and blurry. Works fine next morning
4. Front passenger side window, doesn't go down or up sometimes, gets stuck in the middle etc.
5. central locking, sometimes doesn't lock even after 40mph
6. another uconnect issue,sometimes head unit stays ON even if you out of your car, as long as it sees bluetooth connection it won't shut down :) even when you activate alarm and lock doors, screen stays on even music might keep playing :) walk away from the car or just turn off bluetooth on your phone and a whole system shuts down immediately :)

all this issues don't happen all the time and every day, but they are very annoying :(
What issues you had?

No, 3 years are passed, so no warranty anymore, and I didn't buy extended warranty....

uConnect freezing and rebooting was the only issue that I experienced from your list. I ended up getting my whole uConnect replaced and that seems to have fixed it - aside from once or twice where it rebooted during extreme cold (like -15*F range). I've also since received a letter from Dodge extending my warranty to 10 year / unlimited miles on my uConnect and navigation system. Maybe you'll receive one of those letters and be able to get that fixed.

I would not say that I've experienced #6 as the only time that I've had the unit stay on is when I'm on a phone call and I shut the car off while I finish the conversation. As soon as I end the call it shuts off. That to me, is how it should work and makes sense. If it only does that for you when you have music playing, I would venture to say that streaming audio from music is treated similarly to audio from a call.

In regards to the other issues that you are experiencing, I am sorry to hear that you have had to deal with such problems.
