The Stellantis press service reacted to users’ complaints about the electric car. In social networks, videos were encouraged when the new Dodge Charger Daytona accelerates spontaneously, although the driver does not concern pedals. At the same time, warning indicators light up on the dashboard, and the car is reluctant to slow down. It turned out that this is the Drive by Brake option.
Symptoms of unusual behavior Dodge Charger EV described Edmunds: when leaving the adjacent territory on the dashboard, indicators of security and recovery systems appeared, as well as a signal of movement in reduced power mode. The electric car began to accelerate sluggishly without the participation of the driver, gaining about 1 mile per hour (1.6 km/h) per second. The brake pressed with great effort, but it worked normally.

Stellantis told reporters that we are not talking about failure, but about the new Drive By Brake security system. This function will allow the owners of electric vehicles not to “get stuck” in the middle of the lively road. If the system believes that an accelerator pedal malfunction has occurred, then the electronics intervene and allows you to control the acceleration using the brake pedal. The function works so that the driver can safely move to the side of the road. It is stated that similar functionality has been used for many years on the fuel cars of the concern.
What kind of fuel models of Stellantis are equipped with Drive by Brake is not specified. But in general, the behavior of an electric car is similar to the movement of an analogue with an internal combustion engine and an automatic gearbox: with the Drive mode, there is a slight acceleration. However, you can’t wait for even small accelerations from an electric car with a recovery system without a touch. In the USA it is alarmed that the new security function is like a failure, and for some reason, Dodge did not describe this system in advertising materials.
