crash

Accelerator pedal was delayed coming back up when pressed. It is available for inspection. Because of this happening while I was parking the car, it collided with a tree about 20 feet in front of it. I’ve also noticed the car will sometimes accelerate on its own at speeds below 20 mph. I am taking the vehicle to a body shop on Monday to get fixed and be inspected.

The parking brake system on my 2023 Dodge Charger has repeatedly become loose and does not hold the vehicle securely. The vehicle has been taken to a Dodge dealership multiple times for adjustment or repair of the parking brake. After the most recent dealership service, the parking brake worked temporarily, but approximately one month later it became loose again and stopped holding the vehicle properly. The problem is especially concerning when the vehicle is parked on the sloped driveway outside my garage. Even when the parking brake is fully applied, the vehicle is not securely held in place and could potentially roll downhill, creating a safety risk to people, other vehicles, and …

"Between 12,000 and 13,000 miles, the parking brake pedal on my 2023 Dodge Charger began dropping to the floor with no physical resistance.

During this entire period, the vehicle’s active audible safety chime completely failed to warn me of any brake drag while driving.
