Electric Dodge door at dealers – coming to Denmark

The all-electric Dodge Charger Daytona is coming to Europe, and thus Denmark. But dealers in the US are already saying that the cars are dying in the workshops.

The Dodge Charger Daytona, the electric muscle car that is also on its way to Denmark, is already having problems at dealerships. Several cars are unable to do anything, either upon arrival or after a short drive.

The YouTube channel TK's Garage, which has over 150,000 subscribers, and the media outlet Autoevolution have collected data from four different Dodge dealerships in the United States.

Dealers unanimously say that the electric cars have either arrived defective or broken down after a few kilometers of driving.

– The Dodge Charger EV is going to be a disaster for Dodge. I've been told by four dealers that they're dead and can't be moved, says the video TK's Garage.

The problems are preventing both test drives and deliveries to customers. At least one customer who was expecting to receive his car has had his delivery postponed indefinitely.

According to dealers, the situation could turn into a disaster. Some of the cars may need battery replacement. However, this information has not been confirmed by Dodge in the US.

TK's Garage also claims to have been offered money by Stellantis, Dodge's parent company, to reveal the sources of the information. The people behind the channel were subsequently invited to Detroit by Stellantis.

Also during a press drive on a race track, a Dodge Charger Daytona experienced technical problems. The cars that were provided had so many faults that the car brand had to interrupt the test drive.

It is not unusual for new electric cars with advanced software to experience technical problems. Often they are related to software errors. Several car brands are struggling with this.

"The error codes from the system say that the battery needs to be replaced. I think this will be a problem because two of the dealers I spoke to say that they will have to replace the battery under warranty," says TK's Garage.

Car manufacturers' tight schedules mean that many cars are not fully tested before they are delivered to customers, which can result in software bugs and other problems only being discovered after delivery.
