Latest Charger EV complaints
I own a 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T that recently experienced a complete electrical shutdown and no-start condition. The vehicle displayed a Service Electric Vehicle System warning and eventually became completely unresponsive, including its locking functions. It was only restored after an external jump-start using another vehicle's battery.
The power driver's seat moves rearward on its own, without input, after being moved forward to let passengers into the rear seat. The seat does not stop when it contacts an object or a person. I first reported this defect in writing to the selling dealer on June 8, 2026. No repair order was opened at that time. The vehicle was in the dealer's possession July 9 to August 14, 2026 for an unrelated drivetrain failure, during which door module and door latch module software updates were performed. The seat defect was...

not corrected and has continued. My child's leg was in the path of the seat as it moved rearward. The seat did not stop on contact and injured his leg. The injury was minor and no medical treatment was required. The defect is consistent and reproducible. I can demonstrate on demand that an object placed in the seat's path does not stop the seat. My children have had to learn to keep clear of it. No repair has ever been attempted for this defect.
While driving, the vehicle has shifted itself out of Drive into Neutral with no input from me, causing sudden loss of propulsion. This first occurred twice in late May / early June 2026, shortly after I began driving on each occasion. I reported it in writing to the selling dealer on June 8, 2026 along with four other defects. No repair order was opened at that time. On July 9, 2026, at 1,826 miles, the vehicle failed completely in my driveway - multiple warnings including Service Charging System and Service...

Transmission, would not power off, would not shift out of Park, undriveable. It had to be flatbedded to the dealer. The dealer opened a STAR case with Stellantis engineering, replaced the rear drive motor assembly and the 12V battery, and performed Recall 74D (MCPA, MCPB and EVCU software updates). The vehicle was out of service 36 days, July 9 to August 14, 2026. On October 21, 2026, at approximately 2,100 miles - roughly 275 miles after that repair - the vehicle again shifted itself into Neutral while I was driving. The shifter was not touched. I squeezed the shifter button without moving it and the vehicle returned to Drive. The vehicle is on current software, both dealer-applied (Recall 74D, July 2026) and over-the-air (R5T1, October 28, 2026). The defect has recurred despite the drive motor replacement and all updates. This is an unexpected loss of propulsion while in motion and presents a serious crash risk in traffic or at highway speed. I commute approximately 50 miles per day in this vehicle.
The contact owns a 2025 Dodge Charger EV. The contact stated that while driving one more than one occasion, the brakes failed to engage, and the vehicle started to accelerate, and the brakes unintendedly activated. The message "Reduced Power" was displayed, and the vehicle went into LIMP Mode. The vehicle was towed to a dealer, where the vehicle was diagnosed, and the contact was advised that the failure was not yet duplicated. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 2,800.
While driving car a message appears on dash that says park safely, vehicle will shut down soon. The car stoppedin the middle of traffis almost immediately after message appeared with no time to pull over or park. If I was on highway I could have been killed.
