Owner report 11687107 · 2025-09-13 (September 13, 2025)

Not being able to scroll through the presets on the steering wheel is a safety hazard. I previously had a 2023 Compass, and it had the buttons on the back of the steering wheel that allowed you to cycle through presets, step through channels up and down one by on and change the source (Sirius, FM, AM, Phone). All without having to take your eyes off the road to swipe through screens to find what you want to listen to. This is a huge miss for the Hornet.

I previously had a 2023 Compass, and it had the buttons on the back of the steering wheel that allowed you to cycle through presets, step through channels up and down one by on and change the source (Sirius, FM, AM, Phone). All without having to take your eyes off the road to swipe through screens to find what you want to listen to. This is a huge miss for the Hornet. Look up ODI 11687107 at NHTSA ↗ ODI 11689467 While driving under normal conditions on September 15, 2025, the right front wheel rim detached from my Dodge 2025 Hornet UT [VIN removed]. The detached rim struck and dented the right front door, and I was forced to purchase a replacement rim. This vehicle is still under warranty. A wheel rim separating from the vehicle is a serious safety defect that could cause loss of control, property damage, or injury. I am requesting that this be investigated as a potential recall issue.

The ADAS do not work properly when it rains, when there is fog (density doesn't seem to be a factor when the warning light comes on), or first thing in the morning when there is condensation on the vehicle. These are the times when they are most needed to help the driver.

I have experienced intermittent loss of braking effectiveness while driving. During braking, the pedal initially feels normal but then suddenly loses resistance and becomes noticeably softer, while braking power decreases and stopping distance increases.

Releasing and reapplying the brake pedal does not restore normal braking. On multiple occasions, the reduced braking effectiveness has put me at risk of a collisi…
