FCA's infotainment system has developed a potentially dangerous glitch — and customers are outraged
After a recent update to Fiat Chrysler's UConnect infotainment system, some customers have said the system is rebooting every 45-60 seconds.
After Fiat Chrysler updated its UConnect infotainment system this weekend, some customers have described a problem that made the system reboot in their cars every 45-60 seconds, Jalopnik first reported. That means some Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep, and Ram owners can't listen to music, map directions, or use their rear-view cameras without constant interruptions.
On Tuesday, UConnect's customer support Twitter account said the problem was related to SiriusXM Travel Link services — which provide information like gas prices and weather — and added that they would be temporarily shut down in the next 48 hours to stop the constant reboots.

Since the problem arose, some customers have taken to Twitter and online forums to vent.
"We have identified that the concern is related to SiriusXM Travel Link services," Fiat Chrysler said in a statement to Business Insider. "In the next 48 hours we’ll temporarily suspend the Travel link feature in order to cease the reboot. We appreciate your patience."
