his vehicle is a two-door, five-passenger Dodge Charger equipped with the power Rear Seat Easy Entry feature. Because the vehicle only has two doors, the driver’s seat must automatically move forward toward the steering wheel to provide access for passengers entering or exiting the rear seat.

However, when it reaches…

My climate control system and airbags malfunction. This seems to be related to the UConnect system. My vehicle is available for inspection as needed.

[XXX] Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, located in [XXX] performed an airbag recall on my vehicle. The vehicle was put back together incorrectly, and the headliner, rearview mirror, and sunglass holder are all hanging loose.

I have a beautiful 2006 dodge daytona charger with 5.7L Hemi engine that has failed with 170,000 miles. It has been impeccably maintained with on time oil changes using Mobil 1 synthetic oil.

I know nothing lasts forever BUT.... most engines now a days make 200,000 no problem and most go well beyond that if maintained properly. I was…

2025 DODGE CHARGER EV

Filed Aug 17, 2026


As I pulled out of my driveway, my vehicle’s accelerator failed to respond to my input. The braking system worked flawlessly, with no delay in response. However, when I attempted to accelerate in either forward or reverse, the vehicle took approximately 3–5 seconds to respond to my input. This is a major safety issue.
