2006 Dodge Charger complaints

DROVE TO A DENTIST APPOINTMENT, CAME OUT, STARTED CAR, IT MADE A LOUD BOOM THEN SHUT DOWN. TRIED STARTING AGAIN, NO BUENO, WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY OIL IS NOT GOING INTO THE PISTONS. CYLINDER IS SHOT, NEEDS NEW ENGINE. IT'S BEEN SITTING AT THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. REALLY...A NEW ENGINE THAT'S GONNA COST ME $8,000 NO WARNING, NO SENSORS....NOTHING! JUST HAD CAR SERVICE A FEW MONTHS PRIOR

CAR WOULDN'T START AFTER THREE TRIES. SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING BLEW UP THE FIRST TIME I TRIED STARTING IT. HAD CAR TOWED TO DODGE. IT WAS THERE A WEEK BEFORE THEY LOOKED AT. THEY CALLED US ON A WEDNESDAY SAID THE HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN WAS GONNA COST $4500 TO FIX. THEN THEY CALLED BACK ON A FRIDAY SAID THE PISTONS WERENT' GETTING ANY OIL, ENGINE, NEED TO REPLACE ENGINE. NOW IT'S GONNA COST $8,000. HOW YOU GO FROM $4500 TO $8000 IN A MATTER OF TWO DAYS???

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE CAR STALLED WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ENGINE MISFIRE/STUTTERING. THE STALL WAS AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. THE CAR COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTART WAS ATTEMPTED AND THE CAR STARTED PERFECTLY, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AFTER A FEW MILES, RESTARTED AND IT STALLED AGAIN - THIS CONTINUED, EACH TIME WITH THE TIME DRIVEN BEING LESS. ALL THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. I FINALLY MADE IT TO A SHOP WHERE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE STALLING ISSUE. THE CAR WILL HAVE THE PCM REPLACED IN HOPE THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE FAILURE ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS - THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE INTO THE SHOULDER WHEN IT STALLS (NO POWER STEERING). THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT CAN BE CATASTROPHIC.

FIRST TIME IT SHUT DOWN ON ME I WAS AT STOP LIGHT GOING TO WORK IN LELAND NC. THE OTHER TIME IT SHUT DOWN ON ME I PUT GAS IN THE CAR IN CHARLOTTE NC. I WAS AWAY FROM HOME.THE SYSTEM SHUT CAN'T WANT CRANK .I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET ON MY WAY TO WORK IN LELAND THE FIRST TIME. LEAVING THE GAS STATION THE SECOND TIME SHUT DOWN AT THE LIGHT AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGE RT WITH 130000 MILES. THE PROBLEM IS THAT IT STALLS WHEN DRIVING WITH NO WARNING, LOOSING AL POWER INCLUDING POWER STEERING. THIS IS GETTING VERY DANGEROUS FOR MY FAMILY.

CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE FUEL TANK AND AIRBAG RECALL NOTICES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN STALL. FOR THE NEXT YEAR, THE VEHICLE STALLED OCCASIONALLY. IN MAY OF 2014, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A NOTICE REGARDING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK. THE CONSUMER ATTEMPTED TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED NUMEROUS TIMES, ONLY TO BE TOLD THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE FOR THE FUEL TANK OR THE AIR BAG. *JB....UPDATED 09/08/15 *BF..UPDATED 05/19/16 *BF UPDATED 11/08/2017*CN

WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER, AT INTERSTATE SPEEDS, WHILE OPERATING WITH CRUISE CONTROL, A SINGLE ALARM SOUNDED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN, ONLY TO RESTART SECONDS LATER AND ACCELERATE AGAIN. SINCE THAT INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING AT NEARLY ANY SPEED, ACCELERATING, STOPPED AT LIGHTS, EVERY SCENARIO IMAGINABLE. ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHILE PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT, MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, THE VEHICLE HAS COMPLETELY STALLED LEAVING ME SITTING IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF TRAFFIC, ONCE NEARLY BEING HIT IN THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. IF I HAD TO DESCRIBE ONE SITUATION THAT SEEMS TO TAKE PRECEDENCE, IT WOULD BE MOSTLY WHEN ACCELERATING. THE PROBLEM OCCURS RANDOMLY, AND AT TIMES WILL NOT STALL AT ALL FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THEN STALL 10 TIMES IN ONE DAY. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL LEVEL, FULL TANK FULL, HALF, OR EMPTY, RIGHT AFTER FILL-UPS, OR BEFORE. IT IS A RANDOM PROBLEM THAT CAN AND WILL OCCUR ANYTIME, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE. THIS IS CERTAINLY A SAFETY ISSUE, AND WILL ULTIMATELY RESULT IN SOMEONE'S INJURY. IN READING MULTIPLE POST ON THE INTERNET (HUNDREDS/THOUSANDS) IT IS OBVIOUSLY A COMMON PROBLEM, BUT THERE DOES NOT REALLY EVER SEEM TO BE A DEFINITIVE ANSWER TO CORRECT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS DIFFICULT TO MOVE FROM THE PARK POSITION TO THE DRIVE POSITION.

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AS IF ITS FULL AND I HAVE TO SQUEEZE THE PUMP HANDLE AGAIN IT PUTS OUT ABOUT 1/2 GALLON AT A TIME, I SPEND ALMOST 30 MINUTES TO FILL MY TANK, WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, AND TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL CAUSE IT CAN SPIT THE GAS BACK AT YOU. I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER SXT WITH 78,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAUSE, CAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. ITS CAUSED BY THE FUEL FILLER NECK AS PER DEALER

THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DIE RANDOMLY. THIS TIME, THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE INTERSTATE (FROM THE RAMP). THIS TIME WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT COULD BE RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK VALVE. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS THE FUEL TANK VALVE AND RECOMMENDED WE CONTACT DODGE BECAUSE THE CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE TSB AND THE TANK BE REPLACED...UPDATED 08/25/15*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER EACH FILL UP OF THE GAS TANK. UPDATED 11/30/2015 *JS

MY 2006 CHARGER RT BEGINS TO STALL OUT EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. IN FACT, ANYTHING PAST 2/3 OF A TANK WILL CAUSE THIS ISSUE. THE STALL GENERALLY HAPPENS WHILE AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, WHEN THE RPMS ARE LOW. THE ONLY WAY TO CONTINUE IS TO TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART IT WHILE PUMPING THE GAS. IF I AM ABLE TO GET TO THE HIGHWAY AND UP TO SPEED BEFORE STALLING OUT THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AND THE RPMS DIP A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE STABILIZING. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ~3-10 MINUTES AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THE TANK. I DRIVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT. IT JUST RECENTLY PASSED THE 100K MILEAGE AFTER A ~600 MILE TRIP HOME TO SEE THE FAMILY. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM OCCUR MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST 1-2 YEARS AND I AM BECOMING WORRIED THAT THIS MAY BE A COMMON ISSUE. AFTER A BIT OF RESEARCH, I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY PRETTY COMMON WITH 2006 CHARGERS AND FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT DODGE AUGHT TO ADDRESS. PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANK AND EVAP SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE APPEAR TO BE A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE AND CAN RESULT IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THIS HAS BEEN A MINOR INCONVENIENCE AS OF YET BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER.

LUCKILY THE FREEWAY WAS EMPTY, BUT FROM 70MPH I WENT TO ABOUT 20 MPH I HAD TO CALL A TOW TRUCK TOOK IT IN AND COULDNT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. IT DID IT AGAIN LAST MONTH ON A COUNTRY RD, I'VE BEEN LUCKY THAT I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT! IT ALSO TURNS OFF AT STOPS BUT WILL RESTART IMMEDIATELY. NO ENGINE LIGHT IS ON I'VE PAID FOR 3 DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS AND NOTHING.

10 MINUTES AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR COMPLETELY DIED NO POWER STEERING , NO POWER BRAKES NO LIGHTS . CAR RESTARTED THEN DIED A SECOND TIME. BRAKES AND STEERING ARE A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD UNDER THESE CONDITIONS.

VEHICLE JUST DIED FROM PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE AT 5 MPH AT 515AM ON A FRIDAY.

MY CAR IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE CHECKED NUMEROUS FORUMS AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FATALITY. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CARE AGAIN UNTIL I GOT IT BACK IN PARK. IT HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES NOW.

NOTE: I AM DOCUMENTING MY MOST RECENT DATE OF INCIDENT BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY INCONSISTENT, UNPREDICTABLE INCIDENCES TO RECALL THE FIRST. THESE ISSUES HAVE GONE ON FOR PROBABLY AT LEAST 3 MONTHS NOW. TODAY WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT, MY CAR DIED AS LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I GOT READY TO GO. I WAS STILL IN IDLE/ NO ACCELERATION. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO START. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND MOVING BEFORE THE LIGHT CHANGED BUT NOT SOON ENOUGH. I EVEN PUT FLASHERS ON SO DRIVERS BEHIND ME WOULD KNOW I WASN'T GETTING ANYWHERE ON FIRST ATTEMPT AT MOVING. (THIS OCCURRED 2 DAYS PRIOR WHILE WAITING IN LINE OF TRAFFIC---TWICE IN THE PARKING LOT. ON SUNDAY IT DIED AT LEAST 5 TIMES WHILE WAITING IN LONG LINE OF TRAFFIC/CONGESTED PARKING LOT AFTER AN EVENT.) ONCE I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION TONIGHT, I DECIDED TO CHECK FOR CODE AND GOT NONE. THEN AFTER IDLING ABOUT 5 MINUTES IT DIED. I AGAIN STARTED IT AND LET IT IDLE. IT DIED AGAIN. I DID THIS A FEW MORE TIMES WITH SAME RESULT IN EVEN LESS IDLE TIME. I DID NOTICE THAT THE LAST TIME SHOWED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE OIL LIGHT. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS PART OF THE FUEL TANK ISSUE FOR WHICH I GOT A RECALL LETTER LAST MAY OR NOT. THIS IS GETTING FRUSTRATING. (BY THE WAY, I HAVE A HALF TANK OF GAS. I HAVEN'T REFUELED IN A FEW DAYS.) PRIOR TO THIS RANDOM STALLING IT WOULD 'HICCUP' DURING ACCELERATION. THE RPM'S WOULD PLUMMET AND A CHIME WOULD GO OFF. THIS LASTED MAYBE A SECOND AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. SOME

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION INTERLOCK LEVER WAS DEFECTIVE. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE SHIFT LEVER REMAINED IN THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 78,000.

I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AND I WAS GOING BETWEEN 50 TO 55 MPH ON THE BAY BRIDGE AND I FELT THE CAR SHAKE AND THEN STARTED MAKING A RADDLEING KIND OF NOISE LIKE IT WAS OVER HEATING THE TEMPUTER GAGE SHOOT UP AND THEN A NOISE LIKE THE AIR LET OUT OF A TIRE AND THEN MY CAR STARTED SMOKING AND THEN IT CUT OFF AND NOT START UP AGAIN AND WHEN IT DID START IT WOULD CUT RITE OFF AND THIS WAS THE 2ND ENGINE AND IT DID THE SAME THING BEFORE AND THE ENGINE IS STILL UNDER WARRTY. I ONLY HAD THIS 2ND ENGINE 2 YRS AND 5 MO. AND NOW I NEED A NEW ENGINE AND IVE BEEN ONLINE AND SEEING OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THEIR 2006 DODGE CHARGER HEMI MOTORS

WHILE DRIVING FROM POINT A TO POINT B APPROXIMATELY 17 MILES, THIS VEHICLE STALLED 7 TIMES. MOSTLY STALLING WHILE AT A LIGHT IT HAS INCREASED TO WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. ONE TIME SPECIFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION CAUSING A BACK UP IN TRAFFIC AND NEAR ACCIDENT. WHILE UNDERSTANDING THIS ISSUE HAS MAINLY BEEN INVESTIGATED AND REPORTED AFTER FILL UP, THIS INSTANCE IS NOT. THIS IS A DAILY ISSUE THAT DEMANDS ATTENTION. MECHANICAL TECHS CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH THIS APPARENTLY HAS HAPPEN ENOUGH WITHOUT RESOLUTION BUT HOW MANY CLOSE CALLS ARE GOING TO TURN TO FATALITIES BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COME TO INJURIES OR WORSE FOR THIS COMMON PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO MANEUVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO A COMPLETE STOP.

2006 DODGE CHARGER STALLING OUT WHILE IN MOTION CUTTING OFF. STALLS OUT AFTER FILLING TANK FULL CUTS OFF HARD TO START BACK .CUTS OFF MULTIPLE TIME WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC . LOOSES POWER LIGHTS ON DASH DO NOT LIGHT UP . *TR

AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLS AND RUNS ROUGH. USUALLY REQUIRES RESTARTING A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE IT EVENTUALLY SMOOTHES OUT. HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE ON FREEWAY AFTER REFUELING NEARLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEM EVERY TIME VEHICLE IS REFUELED FOR THE PAST 2-3 YEARS. PROBLEM IS BECOMING MORE SERIOUS. *TR

DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER/ HESITATE, THERE WAS SO MUCH WHITE SMOKE FROM MY VEHICLE THAT I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING BEHIND ME IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOADED ONTO A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK. THE NUMBER 3 VALVE SEAT HAD DROPPED OUT AND SMASHED HOLES IN THE PISTON, THE DEBRIS HAD PUMMELED THE CYLINDER HEAD. THE DEBRIS HAD THEN BEEN SUCKED BACK INTO THE INLET MANIFOLD, THE DEBRIS WAS DEPOSITED INTO NUMBER 1 AND 2 CYLINDERS PUMMELING THE HEAD OF THE PISTONS AND CYLINDER HEADS. THERE WERE ACTUALLY SHARDS OF METAL EMBEDDED IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. THE VEHICLE IS NEXT TO WORTHLESS AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE IS A LIMITED ADDITION DAYTONA AND COST ABOUT $35K NEW. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH DODGE FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AS THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT AND APPEARS TO BE QUITE COMMON. DODGE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SPOKE TO AN EXECUTIVE OF DODGE WITH THE TITLE OF HEAD OF TOP CARE CUSTOMER CARE FOR FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES ON 4/9/2015, HER STATEMENT "YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT MUCH MORE THAN 100,000 MILES FROM ANY VEHICLE". REALLY WANTS YOU TO GO AND BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT, I HAVE OWNED 5 OF THEIR VEHICLES IN 15 YEARS, NEVER AGAIN. *TR

I FILLED UP WITH GAS IN CALIFORNIA WHEN ON VACATION. I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND ONTO THE FREEWAY. ABOUT A MINUTE AFTER MERGING AND GETTING UP TO SPEED THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF. NO POWER, NO POWER STEERING, COMPLETELY DIED. I HAD TO MERGE THROUGH TWO LANES OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. CAR WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN HAVING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME. I HAVE HAD FOUR OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPEN TO ME. THE OTHER TIMES I WAS ON SIDE STREETS OR IN THE PARKING LOT WAITING FOR THE CAR TO DIE. *TR

I HAD JUST TANKED UP THE CAR WITH PREMIUM UNLEADED, PULLED OUT AND CAME TO A STOP AT LIGHT . THE CAR SURGED AND SHUT OFF, I PLACED IT IN PARK RESTARTED IT. THEN DRIVING AGAIN 2MINS LATER THE CAR STARTED STALL I PUT IT IN (N) REVVED THE ENGINE. I HAD TO STOP AT LIGHT AND THE ENGINE AGAIN SHUT OFF,, PUT IN (P) RESTARTED IT AND BEFORE REACHING HOME IT STARTED TO STALL AGAIN, BUT I WAS ABLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING UNTIL HOME THIS TRIP WAS ONLY 4MILES. *TR

MY DAUGHTER AFTER FUELING UP HER 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT AND WHILE LEAVING THE FUELING STATION, THE CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC. SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO START WITH NO SUCCESS. AFTER RECEIVING ASSISTANCE MOVING THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE PARKING PLACE, THE CAR STARTED, BUT RAN EXTREMELY ROUGH. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES THE ENGINE SMOOTH OUT. THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN ONLY AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL. TRIED FUELING UP AT DIFFERENT FUELING STATIONS, SAME RESULTS. THE ENGINE SEEMS TO WOULD SHUT OFF ALWAYS AS YOU ARE ATTEMPTING TO GET INTO TRAFFIC. HAD OUR MECHANIC CHECK THE VEHICLE OUT THE FIRST TIME, THEY CLEANED ALL TO DO WITH INJECTORS AND HOUSING ECT. STILL THE PROBLEM EXIST. WORRY WITH THIS CAR AND MY DAUGHTER DRIVING IT WITH THE POTENTIAL TO STALL IN TRAFFIC. SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED, THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED FROM FUELING UP APPROXIMATELY 15 TIMES. *TR

HI, I'VE HAD A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANK SCENARIO THE EARLIER MODELS SUFFER WITH. WHEN I FILL THE CAR, IT STALLS A NUMBER OF TIMES. I WAS IN A SITUATION WHERE I WAS COMING TO A LIGHT, THE RPM'S STARTED TO DROP AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO DIE AS I WAS BREAKING. THEN THE CAR REVVED BACK TO LIFE AND THIS CAUSE THE RPM'S TO SHOOT UP JOLTING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT DIED YET AGAIN HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS I LOST ALL POWER, STEERING, BRAKES, EVERYTHING. FROM THE JOLT FORWARD I CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WITH A HEAVY BRAKE PEDAL. AT THIS POINT I WAS JARRED A BIT, AND NEEDED TO GET THE CAR GOING AGAIN. I WENT TO START IT AND IT DID NO'T WANT TO TURN OVER FOR ROUGHLY 30 SECONDS. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THERE WAS A LINEUP OF DISGRUNTLED DRIVERS BEHIND ME AS I MADE EFFORTS TO GET GOING AGAIN. THEN INEVITABLY THE VEHICLE DIED YET AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND WENT THROUGH THE SAME SITUATION. TO NEGATE THIS, I HAVE MADE EFFORTS TO NOT FILL THE TANK. NOW THE BIGGER ISSUE I AM HAVING IS THAT WHEN I GO TO PUT GAS IN THE CAR, IT DOES NOT TAKE. I CANNOT GET A GALLON IN WITHOUT THE PUMP CLICKING OFF. IT TAKES ME QUITE SOME TIME, 10 MINUTES EVEN TO SIMPLY PUT $20 IN THE CAR, AND I GET VERY FRUSTRATED GAS ATTENDANTS HERE IN JERSEY IF I'M NOT PERMITTED TO DO MAN THE PUMP. YOU NEED TO LITERALLY STAND WITH IT AND CONTINUE TO RESET THE PUMP AS IT SLOWLY TAKES AND CONTINUOUSLY CLICKS OFF. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE SOLVED, IT I'S SIMPLY

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND MY LIGHT TURNED GREEN BUT I WAS YIELDING TO TURN LEFT WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND MY CAR STALLED IN THE CENTER OF THE INTERSECTION. I QUICKLY TURNED OFF THE CAR AND RE STARTED IT AND IT TURNED BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION BEFORE I WAS HIT. I WAS EXTREMELY SCARED. AND SINCE THEN IT SEEMS TO STALL A LOT WHEN L AM IDLING AT A LIGHT OR AT A DRIVE THROUGH WINDOW. THIS IS EXTREMELY ANNOYING AND DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC AFTER FUELING. *TR

THIS INCIDENT STARTED OCCURRING IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS A "HICCUP" AND NEVER REALLY PAID IT ANY MIND UNTIL IT STARTING HAPPENING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY. AFTER I FILL UP MY GAS TANK (I DON'T OVER FILL) MY CAR HAS INTERMITTENT ENGINE STALLS CAUSING ME TO LOSE THROTTLE RESPONSE AND MY POWER STEERING. SOMETIMES THE CAR HAS ENOUGH RPM TO RESTART THE MOTOR BUT MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY TO RESTART. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE!! SCARES ME TO DEATH. NOW I HAVE THIS STALLING ISSUE EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP. WHEN SLOWING DOWN IS WHEN THE INCIDENT IS MOST PREVALENT BUT EVEN TAKING TURNS ITS HAPPENED AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED AN ISSUE NOT LONG AFTER BUYING THE CAR. AFTER EVERY FILL UP (WITHOUT TOPPING OFF), WITHIN A FEW HUNDRED FEET OF DRIVING OFF THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE CAR SHUTS OFF. IT HAS NOT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YET BUT IT IS A HUGE ANNOYANCE AND COULD CAUSE FUTURE PROBLEMS. I'VE READ ONLINE THAT ITS AN ISSUE WITH THE EVAP SYSTEM. ITS AN EXPENSIVE ISSUE AND IS DUE TO POOR VEHICLE PARTS, NOT OPERATOR USE AND NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND FIXED. *TR

RECEIVED SAFETY RECALL FOR AIRBAG- CALLED DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER DID NOT SEND PARTS. DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THEY WOULD CONTACT ME WHEN PARTS ARRIVED. ONE MONTH HAS PASSED AND NO CONTACT RECEIVED FROM CHRYSLER OR DEALERSHIP. SHOULD I BE RIDING AROUND IN FLORIDA HUMIDITY WITHOUT REPAIRING THESE AIRBAGS? WHAT GOOD IS A RECALL IF IT IS NEVER REPAIRED? *TR
