UNCONNECT SYSTEM IN MY 2018 JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE OVERLAND TURNS OFF AND ON BY ITSELF EVER 60 SECONDS WHETHER YOU ARE DRIVING OR STATIONARY. I BELIEVE IT STARTED THIS MORNING OR LAST NIGHT. YOU CANNOT USE BLUETOOTH, THE HEAT OR THE RADIO. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE LESS THAN 1 MONTH AGO AND THEY SAID I WAS THE 6TH REPORT TODAY AND THE VEHICLES IN THEIR LOT WERE DOING IT AS WELL. THEY STATED THAT THE UNCONNECT SYSTEM MIGHT HAVE BEEN HACKED.
MY BACKUP CAMERA HAS QUIT WORKING. IT WON'T EVEN TURN ON. THE UCONNECT IS ALSO UNRESPONSIVE AS FAR AS TRYING TO TURN OFF THE UNIT. I TRIED THE THREE RESET OPTIONS AND NOTHING. I CAN'T FORCE AN UPDATE OR ANYTHING. SO NOW I HAVE NO BACKUP CAMERA.
