2024 Dodge Hornet electrical system problems

“The contact owns a 2024 Dodge Hornet. The contact stated that while driving 40 MPH, the vehicle lost motive power. The accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended and the vehicle decelerated to 5 MPH. The vehicle was driven to a nearby parking lot and the engine seized. The contact stated that while attempting to restart the vehicle, the vehicle failed to start. The contact's minor child was inside the vehicle during the failure. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The dealer was contacted by phone and made aware of the failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer. The contact was informed that the failure had occurred because the battery charge was low with 40-mile to empty. The manufacturer was contacted, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 10,000.”

“Approximately one month after purchasing this vehicle new, I began experiencing a recurring loss-of-propulsion defect. Since XXX, the vehicle has repeatedly lost the ability to accelerate ("limp mode" / "turtle mode") without warning, and later experienced a complete no-start/shutdown failure caused by a PIM/IDCM power electronics failure (repaired ~XXX at approximately 15,650 miles). The vehicle has been in for repair 6 times, totaling approximately 120 days out of service. As of late XXX new (lesser) electrical issues have recurred and have not yet caused a full failure, but I have no confidence they will not recur at highway speed or in an isolated area. I drive an hour each way to work at night through rural, isolated southeast [XXX] with little to no cell service. A sudden loss of propulsion in this environment puts me at serious risk of being stranded in an unsafe location, or of a rear-end collision if the loss of power occurs in traffic. On XXX, the servicing dealership (Mitchell Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram, Enterprise, AL) told me the vehicle was "operating as expected" and to continue driving it until the problem occurs again — despite the documented…”

“This is the 7th time this has happened turtle mode out of nowhere I've took it in the shop so much for the same reason the car shut off on me with my [XXX] grand child the car completely stopped throwing my neck extremely hard so hard I'm thinking about seeking medical attention and was stranded 2 hours in a location that was not safe my grandson was [XXX] at the time the car rolled backwards at hit my grandson also my car traveled backwards 30 feet backwards down hill on the interstate ramp this is really starting to be a hazard situation and my family members and myself are getting hurt [XXX] the past years and some months something has to be done or I would have to do something about it I have 2 other adult witnesses in both occasions of this happening I've reported all the time the deal ships never have loner cars because I can't just keep leaving my car for weeks or days something has to give before someone dies in this car I also have recalls for seats belts another safety hazard this will be my last report the car has electrical problems some where”

“The electrical will randomly glitch out on start and will not populate properly in the dash and tablet. Error messages will get stuck in sequence and necessitate bringing the vehicle into a dealership to reset everything. It’s very scary to drive when you car is telling you your power steering is off, your airbags are off, check transmission, check engine all at the same time.”

“On [XXX] the electrical system on the 2024 Dodge Hornet R/T malfunctioned and all warning lights were simultaneously flashing on the screen and all driver safety warnings malfunctioned. There was loss of Power Steering Assist while driving the car as well as an Electronic Parking Brake malfunction.. It is unknown what other specific electronic safety functions failed as well but the complete system was severely malfunctioning and all warning lights displayed simultaneously. The car was brought in for service May 30, 2026, at Westbury Chrysler Jeep Dodge Service Center located at 111 Bond Street, Westbury, NY 11590 to repair the electrical system. On June 10, 2026, the car was ready for us to pick up. It was driven back to our house (a 30 minute drive) with no incident and was used by my wife this morning, on. June 11, for her short commute to work. [XXX], my wife started the Hornet and the same electrical problem occurred with the same safety issues. This electrical failure occured within 24 hours of receiving the car back from the service center.”

“My car has had an issue ever since they replaced the recall for my radio. I have been getting the A arrow symbol and it says start stop restart. I was in the middle of traffic and I have to make sure I keep inching up without fully stopping bc my car will shut itself down in gear. With traffic around me I have to put it in park and try to start it 3-4 times for the error to go away I almost got rear ended a few times. This has been an on going dangerous issue. They want me to drop my car off for the day and pay fees. This is awful and not safe! And then my radio screen turns off and then it won’t connect to my phone or it says it’s over heating when it’s 70-80 outside my entire dash will shut off where I can’t see the speed etc no gauges.”
