What UConnect you have ?
I have 5.0. Something similar happened first at 2000 miles, after few minutes it started to work again, but one month later it happened again. Screen didn't work, only Jeep logo showed and radio played last station before break down. No response on any button. When put in reverse, rear view showed, but didn't turn off when driving.

Dealer replaced UConnect unit.

Have you experienced any issues since? - Kevin T, Social Connect Team

So, I start the Renegade and go to type in an address on the Nav screen when the screen suddenly goes black. Buttons don't work. Turning the radio off and on doesn't work. I get the initial welcome screen then it goes back to black again. Turning the vehicle off and on... also no joy.

I took it to the dealer. The guy who checked me in saw the radio was on, but the screen was black. They took it back to the service area but by the time the tech got to look at it, for some reason it started working again. They checked and found codes and no updates required.

So, I'm back to "if it happens again, bring it in" but otherwise there's nothing to fix.

A little over 1500 miles in.

Is this the first time that this has happened? - Kevin T, Social Connect Team

No issues after 2 months/2000 miles since replacement.

Glad to hear it. Thanks for the follow-up! - Kevin T, Social Connect Team

Yep. First time for the screen going blank. I haven't used the Nav since, but the radio screen seems to be working.

The only other issue has been the Assist and 911 lights which keep turning red. When the screen went blank yesterday I tried the Assist button but it didn't work. It did make me think about whether the 911 button will work if I ever need it.

I'd bring it into the dealer for diagnosis. DM me if you need assistance establishing an appointment. Thanks - Kevin T, Social Connect Team
