"I was pulling out onto a thoroughfare street from a strip mall parking lot when warning lights appeared on the Charger's instrument panel for the stability control, frontal collision warning system, regenerative braking and more. There was also a short-lived messageit might have been something about the forward collision warning systemand that the car would be in low power mode"
"The first sign of trouble was one that we've all heard far and wide by now: the curious case of "intentional" unintended acceleration. Edmunds experienced Dodge's so-called drive-by-brake feature that caused the car to continue to accelerate when nobody was touching the pedal. Dodge's official response was that the feature was meant to prevent the car from becoming stuck should the accelerator pedal fail and to use the brake to stop the car."
One-year ownership tests of the Dodge Charger Daytona EV revealed pervasive software and reliability problems. The vehicle has experienced unintended acceleration caused by a 'drive-by-brake' feature that continued accelerating when the pedal was untouched. The feature was described as a safeguard to prevent the car from becoming stuck if the accelerator failed, using the brake to stop the vehicle. Owners reported multiple warning lights, messages about forward-collision systems, and episodes of the car entering low-power mode. The powertrain shows latency while emulating petrol-powered muscle-car behavior. Launch issues and persistent bugs have diminished owner satisfaction and deterred potential buyers.
