2024-2025 DODGE CHARGER EV

2025 DODGE CHARGER EV Complaints
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. There is a serious safety defect with this system. When the driver’s seat is moved forward using the Easy Entry feature, the seat travels toward the steering wheel as intended. However, when it reaches the forward position, the seat can suddenly and automatically travel rearward even though a passenger may still be in the process of entering or exiting the rear seating area. The seat moves rearward with significant force and does not adequately detect or stop for a person who may be in its path. A rear-seat passenger can be positioned directly behind the front seat when this unexpected movement occurs. The moving seat can pin or crush the passenger between the front seat and the rear seating/interior area. This is especially dangerous for children, who may take longer to enter or exit the rear seat and may not be able to react quickly enough when the seat unexpectedly begins moving rearward. This is not simply an inconvenience with the power seat. It creates a potential entrapment and crushing hazard during the normal and necessary process of entering or exiting the rear seats of a two-door, five-passenger vehicle. The unexpected rearward movement also appears inconsistent with the intended operation of the Rear Seat Easy Entry system. Dodge’s owner’s manual describes the seat automatically moving forward to provide rear-seat access and describes obstacle detection as part of the system. Despite this, the seat can unexpectedly return rearward while the rear-seat access area is still occupied. There also appears to be manufacturer service information addressing Easy Entry seats that move forward and then unexpectedly move rearward before the seatback is returned.;
