This is the same YouTube guy that blasted his new charger a few months ago. Most of the issues he had with his car were easily correctable. Lets not recycle bad press.

 

It's not pretty out there for Dodge. It's hard to find good publicity but I just filter out were I get info about them. Hate in the web gives more clicks than honest unbiased reviews.

Also, so many problems with the platform that at least this puts some pressure on Stellantis to do something.

 

Hell hath no wrath like an owner scorned. Given how great an inconvenience it is when a vehicle you depend on fails you, especially more than once, it is not surprising that a lot of owners are irate at this car. Now I don't know what the actual percentage of significant failures we are seeing, as many have noted, most of the owners who have little to no issues are not reporting the (working) condition of their ride but those that are, rightly feel the need to raise the issue of unreliability (the squeaky wheels gets the oil). It would seem that the two major updates should have resolved most problems, but that's small solace to those who have been stranded on at least one occasion.

I'm not the only one who has really enjoyed their driving experience, and so far, feel the car is reliable (I have a near 400 mile trip planned in a week, so we'll see if that holds). The potential is there, but the execution is far from smooth. We know that the Sixpack was supposed to have been available for sale around June, but was delayed due to similar gremlins in the 12V system. Dodge has a lot riding on this, especially the IC version, and we can only hope that they will resolve the problems with reliability, for both EV and IC.

 

I am honestly happy upset owners get media's attention. It is clear that there are still unresolved problems with this car and it is about time that Stellantis take us seriously.

 

I'm also a happy owner. I have had issues with my car on occasion but not to the extent of leaving me stranded. Most my car has done, is delay my departure by 5 Minutes or so. Ami I tolerant? I guess so! Maybe even understanding. But as of late My car, an R/T has been updated with the latest RSU and TSB. Since then it has had no problems at all. My question regarding this post :
"Here we go again, more bad press for Daytona EV"
Is a little misleading because it is based on a you tube post that is about 2 months old. I remember this post and watched his whole video. Most of the issues he had with his car were well known issues including the Automatic seat "Safety Issue". The only quality defect I saw in the video was the door misalignment/paint issue. Everything else, and I am going by memory here was able to be fixed either by other forum posts or the RSU /TSB's to date. The other point I would like t to make is: Where is the original Poster and what ever happened with his car. Has it been fixed or is it still in the same state it was in 2 months ago? If it hasn't been fixed in the least then by all means let the bas press fly. But if there has been a resolution to any or most of his problems, shouldn't that be reported? I think its only fair!
