2024 DODGE CHARGER

FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: WARNINGS:EXTERNAL/PEDESTRIAN ALERT

Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2024-2025 Dodge Charger vehicles. The amplifier may be missing software, which can prevent the amplifier from emitting exterior sound, including pedestrian warnings. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 141, "Minimum Sound Requirements for Hybrid Electric Vehicles."

Risk: A vehicle that does not emit sound may fail to alert pedestrians of a moving vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash or injury.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Car was 1.5 weeks old, purchased brand new. Had several electrical glitches in the days prior, which went away. Pulled into my son's Little League game, and the car just started flashing all lights on the dash, then said 'Service Transmission'. 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.

EXTERIOR LIGHTING

Vehicle was leased 6/21 and spent the first 29 days at the dealership with key-fob, no-start malfunctions. After picking up car 7/22, on 7/27 I get a system illumination system failure, service vehicle. It was dropped off to the dealership Sunday 7/27 for service Monday 7/28 where it still waits for service.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Car would not start on a full charge. Potentially leaving me stranded.

ENGINE

The car failed to start, leaving it stranded and needing a tow. There is no reason for it as it has had no accidents or other issues to induce this. It is a known issue with these vehicles and nothing is being done about it.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Car is an Electric Vehicle. 3 times now, it has been unable to start (bricking) and requires towing to the nearest dealer. When attempting to start the vehicle, it flashes warnings about pulling over immediately and that the electrical system must be shut down. Should this occur while in motion, the brakes will immediately lock and present a hazard to nearby motorists and the driver. This is the 3rd time this issue has occurred, and dealers are unsure of what the fix could be. Numerous warning lights flashed across the screen each time the car would not turn on. Including but not limited to: Warning Illumination Unavailable. Service Required. Service Electric Vehicle System Stop Safely. Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon SOS Call Unavailable. Please visit an authorized dealer.

POWER TRAIN

Vehicle entered sudden limp mode while merging onto freeway, reducing propulsion to ~30 mph and forcing driver to coast along shoulder. Dash displayed warning: “Stop Safely. 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 since May 30. Despite multiple attempts, Stellantis engineers have not identified root cause. Possible defects involve throttle position sensor (TPS), pedal module, 12V battery grounding, or motor actuator drift. Owner has had no consistent updates or defined fix. Problem remains active and unresolved. Vehicle is now undriveable due to unresolved risk of power loss during highway driving.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

I am reporting serious and recurring electrical and system failures in my leased 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack EV, leased March 18, 2025. The vehicle has consistently experienced critical malfunctions that pose a threat to driver and public safety. The most dangerous issue is intermittent complete power failure. On at least four occasions, the vehicle failed to start or respond to keyless ignition. I was left stranded for 20–40 minutes in various locations with no access to power, movement, or control of the vehicle. These failures occurred without warning and could easily become life-threatening if they happen in traffic or isolated areas. Another severe defect involves the digital instrument cluster and infotainment system. The display screen frequently blacks out or shows static while the vehicle is in use. When this happens, I lose access to critical safety features including the speedometer, turn signals, drive mode indicators, battery range, navigation, and system alerts. I’ve had to drive without visual cues, or speed visibility. On many occasions I nearly struck a barrier due to a blind reverse. The vehicle displays warnings such as “Stop Safely. Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon,” “Service Electric Vehicle System,” and “Service Transmission” while in motion. These failures have been documented with photo and video evidence and confirmed by a Stellantis-authorized dealer. A replacement radio assembly was ordered, but I was told there is no ETA, and it could take two months or longer to arrive. In the meantime, I am being told the car is “safe to drive,” despite these repeated system failures. The vehicle has been brought in for repairs four times and is still at the dealership service. The problems have not been resolved, and the issues continue to present a major safety risk.
