While traveling at 75MPH on the highway, the vehicle shut down. No propulsion at all and the error message "Pull Over Safely - Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" was displayed. Was able to coast to a nearby exit and have the car taken to a dealer for service. Very unnerving at 75MPH and a significant safety hazard to me and other drivers.
Warning alerts including: Service electric system, Regenerative battery system not available, service transmission, Vehicle will shut down, then car dies Car towed Aug 11 at 807 miles, Dec 8th at 2707 miles, many time intermittently car does not start, been to RON TOKIN Dodge Service few times for these problems. we are told "can not duplicate concerns" will not release service BULLETINS TO us.
Car was 1.5 weeks old, purchased brand new. Had several electrical glitches in the days prior, which went away.

Gear shifter flashing, could not put the vehicle into park or any gear, it was like tit was stuck between park and drive. Anyhow, here it is, in the shop already after 800 miles of ownership. Quite disappointed. Apparently this has been happening a LOT to new Dodge Charger Daytona EV owners. Extremely common.
Car would not start on a full charge. Potentially leaving me stranded.

Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon." Multiple system faults appeared (regen, traction, collision fault, wrench light, turtle icon). Vehicle displayed uncommanded acceleration - continued driving without pressing throttle. Vehicles behind were forced to brake abruptly. The incident repeated 4 days later. Vehicle currently remains in dealership custody...
