2025 Dodge Charger owner complaints (15)

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,BACK OVER PREVENTION,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  We have leased this car since May of 2025. It has been in the Dodge repair shop over a dozen times for the electrical system warning light coming on. It had to be towed tot he dealer twice for it, other times it was drivable to get it there. This car is a complete Lemon and we are trying to get Dodge/Stellantis to pay us or preferably to buy it back and they are stalling. The car is a danger to drive as the forward collision does not warn you or apply the brakes ever as it was supposed to do. The electrical problems continue and this car is not safe to drive and Dodge needs to be issuing a recall to get these off the road. We have filed a Lemon Law suit and they are not offering enough money for the problems the car has.

• POWER TRAIN,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  I was driving on a slower speed road and felt a jerk, my car lurched forward a little and I got a bunch various errors for break regen system, front park sense errors and a few other random faults. The car entered "turtle mode" signified by the turtle icon in my gauge cluster. This is the second time this has randomly happened, the first time happened two weeks prior as I was taking an off ramp off a highway. I have taken this vehicle in for repairs and updates before for unrelated issues but there hasn't been any solid solutions to the other various software issues with this vehicle. This is a major safety concern because I have not been able to reliably replicate this, my speed and control over acceleration is cut and not within my control fully. I am worried that this could occur when I'm at higher speeds. I have been able to safely park and turn the vehicle off and back on so it hasn't been inspected by police or anyone just yet due to no accidents occurring, only dealerships.

• SERVICE BRAKES

  UPDATE: I have been trying to work with Gresham Dodge to return my car and trade it. They refuse to help me and Stellantis refuses to help me. They want me to eat all the money. They refuse to meet me half way on a new car. DO NOT PURCHASE A VEHICLE FROM THIS DEALERSHIP. You will eventually regret it. I have filed a complaint with the BBB and the US Consumer Protection Agency. UPDATE: The car has now been serviced nine times! Twice for the braking system, because we couldn’t stop, I almost got in an accident.iIt’s had many other issues! Still have never heard back from anyone at Gresham Dodge! Not one person! Stellantis refuses to take the car back. It’s been out of service over forty days all together over the six months I’ve had it. So, it sits in the driveway rotting. I will not drive it. I will not put my life or anyone else’s in danger. I’m making payments on a car I can’t drive! It’s imparitive that no one purchase from this slimly dealership! I’ll be reporting them to the BBB and the State Attorney General.Do not purchase your vehicle here. Sales are not knowledgeable on the cars they are selling. They just want a sale and you gone, so they can move on to the next person. I didn’t even have my car 24 hours and it had to go back for service. I will say, they were attentive, but only because they wanted a sale. They know nothing about how the cars functions. I got a text from the Service Advisor saying if I needed anything to let him know. Then a week later another problem popped up. I have text from the Service Advisor saying he would get me in on a specific day. We took the car in and he turned us away and said they were too busy. We wanted a fully loaded car. Sales never told us of any upgraded packages that the car could come with. We asked. They were only interested in offing what they had on the lot. I love the car, but this particular model comes with an upgraded package that I didn’t know about until having to watch You Tube videos to learn how to work

• POWER TRAIN,SERVICE BRAKES

  Service electrical system came up in the car. Car wouldn’t start. After 30 minutes it did start, drove it 1/2 a mile to see if it would come back and rear brakes were on fire.

• POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  After doing some grocery shopping for about 20–30 minutes, I returned to my vehicle, put it in drive, pressed the accelerator, and received no response for approximately 3 to 4 seconds. I then pressed the brake and experienced the exact same issue — no response from the system for about 3 to 4 seconds. I decided to shut the vehicle down, wait approximately 10 seconds, and restart it. After restarting, the brake responded immediately (as expected), but there was still a significant delay from the accelerator of about 3 to 4 seconds. I then drove to another parking lot approximately 0.2 miles down the road, parked the vehicle, walked around the store for another 20 minutes, and returned to the vehicle. At that point, everything worked as intended. The accelerator and braking systems both responded properly. On Monday, May 11, I went to the Carvana Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram location in [XXX] , where I was informed by the Service Manager that they would likely need to keep the vehicle for over a month to troubleshoot the issue with Chrysler before they could attempt a resolution, since the entire electrical system is effectively locked down and controlled by FCA electrical engineers. Also, a loaner was not an option if they kept the vehicle. Less than 5,000 miles on this vehicle with clearly a critical issue and almost no attempt to help the customer.

• POWER TRAIN,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,ENGINE

  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.

• STEERING,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,AIR BAGS

  2025 Dodge Charger EV | VIN: [XXX] | Purchased: April 11, 2026 | Dealer: Thunder Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Bartow, FL I am reporting multiple active, unresolved safety system failures that began within 24 hours of purchase and remain unrepaired after two dealer visits. On April 15–16, 2026, the dealer documented NINE fault codes across FIVE modules, including an active Electronic Throttle Module fault that would not clear — a direct risk of unintended acceleration or loss of speed control. Additional active alerts included ABS failure, brake system failure, airbag system failure, suspension failure, and blind spot system failure. The only repair performed was a software flash. No safety systems were physically repaired. Alerts returned May 2, 2026. Pre-sale service history (undisclosed at sale) shows five battery-charging failures, a July 2025 software fault, and a complete no-start event on December 18, 2025 requiring updates to four electronic modules. A post-purchase repair invoice (April 2025) also documents a Collision Thrust Angle Alignment — a frame geometry procedure performed after structural impact — raising concerns about airbag deployment zone integrity.

• SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC,ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE

  The contact owns a 2025 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that a message related to the Forward Collision Avoidance mitigation system, the electrical system, and the message "Braking System Required Attention - Please Call for Assistance" were displayed. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle had failed to charge as needed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be diagnosed and repaired. The dealer informed the contact that the Forward Collision Avoidance mitigation system and the electrical system failures had been corrected; however, the dealer had not yet determined the cause for the message "Braking system Required Attention - Please Call for Assistance". The vehicle was being diagnosed by the dealer and an engineer from the manufacturer. The vehicle was not repaired and remained with the dealer. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 500.

• FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally report a serious safety malfunction involving my 2025 Dodge Charger Daytona R/T Stage 1 EV. This incident has caused significant property damage. I arrived home and pulled into my driveway as I routinely do. I opened my garage door and waited for it to fully open before slowly pulling my vehicle into the garage. As soon as the car was positioned in the garage — a maneuver I have performed many times — the vehicle suddenly and unexpectedly experienced rapid acceleration without warning. The acceleration was forceful and immediate. The vehicle propelled itself through the back wall of my garage, destroying the wall and items stored there, went airborne, and landed further out into my yard. The entire incident occurred so quickly that I was stunned and had no opportunity to react. Fortunately, I was not physically injured, but the outcome could easily have been catastrophic. The rear wall of my garage was completely destroyed, and my vehicle sustained extensive body damage. My car has been at the dealership, for approximately six weeks awaiting replacement body panels. While my insurance company has handled the property repairs efficiently, I continue to make payments on a vehicle that experienced a frightening malfunction through no fault of my own. My insurance has agreed to the supplemental estimate and committed to payment. But there are body panels that don't even have an ETA. So, I may be waiting for and making payments on a vehicle that I won't feel safe driving. After the incident, once I had time to process what occurred, I researched similar events involving this same vehicle model. I found multiple reports describing nearly identical scenarios, including unintended rapid acceleration while preparing to park. One report described a Dodge Charger Daytona EV accelerating through hedges into the road causing a 3 car crash.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

  I am submitting this statement regarding a serious and life-threatening safety issue with my 2025 Dodge Charger GT EV. Since July 2025, my vehicle has experienced recurring and dangerous problems that put my life and the lives of my children at risk whenever I attempt to drive it. Timeline and Critical Safety Issues: July 2025: The vehicle began showing major operational failures, including becoming stuck in Park, dashboard malfunctions, and electronic failures, particularly after charging. These issues make the car unsafe to drive. July – November 2025: While the dealership attempted repairs, I was provided a rental vehicle to allow safe transportation. November 2025: The dealership replaced a part, and I briefly regained use of the car for two days. However, after charging, a loud knocking noise occurred, and something was ticking underneath the vehicle, forcing me to return it immediately due to safety concerns. December 2025 (Most Recent Service): The dealership returned the vehicle after performing only a hard reset. The dangerous underlying problem remains unresolved. Despite repeated repair attempts, the manufacturer has not responded to my attorney or addressed these life-threatening risks. Driving this vehicle remains extremely unsafe and puts my family in immediate danger. I am urgently requesting that NHTSA investigate this matter and take immediate action to address these unresolved safety defects.

• ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL,SERVICE BRAKES

  I was returning home in my electric Dodge Charger Daytona from work nearing an intersection when my vehicle's dashboard lit up with multiple warnings and entered "turtle mode" a limited power mode where the car no longer accelerates with the accelerator pedal but instead will slowly increase speed until breaks are applied. After getting the vehicle off the road and restarting the car there were no longer warnings and the accelerator pedal was working again, but I found on the remainder of the drive home that the regenerative breaking did not work in any of the vehicles 3 settings. This greatly alters the vehicles driving dynamics. I was fortunate to be already stopping when this incident occurred and was able to safely move the vehicle out of the motor way, but suddenly losing control of your vehicles acceleration is greatly concerning.
