Electric Vehicle Recalled In Idaho For Being Too Quiet

Remember being a teenager, driving your first car? The exhaust was completely shot, and it was so loud that trying to sneak in after dark simply wasn't an option. Your parents would literally hear you coming from blocks away.

Well, this is the year 2025. Now, vehicles are having the opposite problem.

Hol' up. Did an electric vehicle really get recalled for being too quiet?

Yes. We absolutely aren't making this up, and it's as ridiculous as it sounds.

If you're the proud owner of an electric Dodge Charger Daytona, you may want to hit up your local dealership. Because, again this is real, a speaker on the vehicle designed to emit exhaust-like sounds at low speeds so as to warn pedestrians isn't functioning correctly.

Yes, it kind of sounds like a joke, but it's not. If a 3,000 pound death machine is able to creep up on you without any warning, you can see how this could end up being a serious safety hazard.

If you do own one of these Chargers, you're encouraged to contact your local dealership.

Don't think you're off the hook if you don't drive a Dodge. Oh no.
