Owner report 11652971 · 2025-04-05 (April 5, 2025)
While driving, the car suddenly went into "Turtle Mode" in which the car slowed down by itself and numerous warnings on the dash board suddenly appear including "Service Electrical System". Since I am in the middle of driving on a fairly busy street I attempt to get the car moving again and step on the accelerator pedal. The car does increase in speed but now will not stop speeding up even when I let off the gas pedal. The speed of the vehicle keeps getting faster ON IT'S OWN. I have to step on the brake and keep braking to get the car to…

Owner report 11669066 · 2025-06-24 (June 24, 2025)
I am reporting serious and recurring electrical and system failures in my leased 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona Scat Pack EV, leased March 18, 2025.

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 occu…

Owner report 11679522 · 2025-08-09 (August 9, 2025)
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 co…
