| Description of the problem | The uconnect 8. 4 radio/head unit will display weather alert popups while driving, resulting in distraction due to both the audio and visual alert and requiring physical interaction with the touch screen device. There is no way to disable the alerts, even after unsubscribing from the "feature." just as scrolling and settings menus are disabled while in motion for safety, there should be no popups and required interaction while in motion. Attached photo is from last summer, but issue is ongoing anytime any national weather service alert is active within a ~400 mile radius. |
