| Power Train problems |
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.
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 warning illumination unavailable. Service required. Service electric vehicle system stop safely. Vehicle will shut off soon sos call unavailable. Please visit an authorized dealer.
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.
The car started to accelerate on it's own. I had to use the brake to slow down and stop.
