Table 1 shows three common forward collision avoidance related problems of the 2025 Dodge Charger.
| Problem Category | Number of Problems |
|---|---|
| Adaptive Cruise Control problems | |
| Forward Collision Avoidance problems | |
| Warnings problems |
When using adas, the vehicle brake does not remain engaged after the vehicle is stopped, resulting in uncommanded rollback when the car autonomously stops in traffic on a hill. This occurred repeatedly without warning, and with adas remaining fully engaged and unaware of the rollback until driver intervention. In one instance, uncommanded rollback caused a near-miss where the vehicle was only inches from a collision at the time of driver intervention. This issue will ultimately result in collisions, likely injuries, and possible death.
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.
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.
