I started a uconnect system update while i was still parked. The disclaimer said nothing about to not update while driving. I started the update and started driving (my commute is about 25 minutes). It took about 10-15 minutes to download the update. Once it downloaded, the system reset. At this time i was in cruise control on a freeway that was ending, so i turned off my cruise control and then my car jolted…

While cruising in 'drive' if the operator puts the shifter in 'neutral' in order to coast and then the vehicle is brought to a complete stop, the vehicle unexpectedly becomes immobilized when put back into 'drive'. The dash then notifies the driver to apply the brake and cycle the shifter back into 'park' and then back to 'drive' in order to move the vehicle. Now my concern here is that if a driver were to find…

Car will just die while driving at any speed and rpm's will just drop off. Sometimes it will come back on as it were in neutral then go into second gear while shifter is still in drive and car jerks around and lunges forward. This has happened to me at 10mph - 60 mph. It has been doing it for a few months.

Samie issue reported on 8/24/16 for transmission jerks and slips as it runs through gears when car is cold. Once warm, it doesn't do it at all. The jerks or slips are not slight either, they are hard and doesn't matter how much acceleration there is or isn't...the gear changes are very noticeable and jerky! Doesn't matter if you are driving straight, taking a turn...anytime you accelerate it shifts very hard! I…

Upon arriving home after an 800 mile trip, (in the evening around 10:30 pm) when shifting into reverse to back into driveway, i experienced a complete ecu controller failure and everything went black. And engine died. After a few seconds it appears the computer rebooted itself and the dash came back up and the car restarted. It appears there is a real-time program bug in the car and the firmware needs to be…
