This page covers 6 recalls and 17 owner complaints for the 2024 Dodge Charger.
Complaints about the 2024 Dodge Charger Daytona EV cluster around two main areas: the electrical system and vehicle speed or drivetrain control. On the electrical side, owners describe the vehicle going completely unresponsive, failing to power on at all, sometimes repeatedly, with dashboard warnings pointing to charging system faults or broader electrical failures. A handful of owners report the car needing multiple dealership visits without a clear resolution. Speed and drivetrain control complaints include a recurring "Service Shifter" warning appearing while driving at highway speeds, accompanied by the gear selector losing its indicator lights, prompting owners to pull over. A few reports also mention automatic emergency braking and brake system warning codes appearing together, with at least one owner describing brake loss during low-speed maneuvering. The fuel and propulsion system drew a smaller number of reports, with no single dominant symptom standing out from that group.

By System
The 2024 Dodge Charger has 6 recalls, the most serious being a park pawl spring that may not hold the vehicle in place when shifted to Park, allowing it to roll away and raise the risk of a crash.
The park pawl issue stems from a spring in the electric drive module that may have been installed incorrectly. Without the spring doing its job, the transmission's park lock may not fully engage, and the vehicle can move if the parking brake is not applied. This applies to the electric Charger Daytona variant.
The instrument panel cluster has its own software defect, also specific to the Charger Daytona, where the screen can go blank entirely. When that happens, the driver loses the ability to see gear selection, warning lights, and other gauges, removing critical feedback while driving.
Two additional recalls cover the pedestrian alert system, which generates exterior sound at low speeds so that people on foot can hear an otherwise quiet electric vehicle approaching. A missing or incomplete software update on the audio amplifier can prevent that sound from being produced at all, leaving pedestrians without an audible warning. Prior repair attempts did not fully resolve the issue across all affected vehicles, which is why two separate filings address the same underlying amplifier defect.
