Richard W., OR (2014 Dodge Durango Citadel 3.6-L V6)"GPS is always off showing on roads not on or destination several hundred feet away from actual location, this is a position issue and not an issue with outdated maps. Also major issue with uconnect it will only work 50% of time and app to use it is extremely unreliable."
Anonymous, MI (2014 Dodge Durango Limited 5.7-L V8)"Problem started while on a journey 1 year ago. The GPS suddenly lost sense of the direction that we we heading in as we physically changed direction of travel. It shows us going through fields and lakes, a nowhere near our actual position. The problem starts when driving the vehicle. The starting position appears to be correct when starting the car, but the GPS loses the car within a mile or two of any trip. We have stopped using it and rely on our phone GPS for now. Not happy with the poor reliability!"
