The Uconnect on my 2014 was a bit "buggy" from day one. Maybe 1-2X/mo it would restart or lag really bad when starting. Finally at about seven years it started flashing error messages and I got it replaced under Maxcare warranty. Grabbing a picture of the error message was huge in getting the dealer to do it. Otherwise, it's the old, "can't replicate problem" routine when I took it in.
Exactly. Because most of these issues are intermittent, it makes it easy for the local service dept to deny claims.

Uconnect4 is little better, but not by much.

Just couple days ago. I was driving. Nothing would respond on the screen. Music was playing, gps was moving. None of the buttons on screen would work.
I couldn't turn off the heated seats or steering wheel. I stopped, got out of the truck, turned it off. even walked away for like 10 mins.

It was -20 and windy. Didn't fix it. Went back to driving with really hot ass.
I had the 8.4" uConnect 4 in my 18 2500. It was always rock solid. It did receive a couple of OTA updates while I owned it, but I could not tell any difference. I also had buttons below the stereo to control the vented seats and heated steering wheel.

Luckily :) No buttons for me. In General it works good, but when it doesn't... It really sucks.

I check at least once a month, no software updates for my truck. As you mentioned above. It happens at random times, so no way to show uconnect or dealer.
