2006 Dodge Charger complaints

I HIT A DEER AT 75 MPH. THIS CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND ENGINE. THERE WAS NO AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. I ENDED UP WITH NECK/BACK INJURIES AND BRUISING WHERE I STRUCK THE STEERING WHEEL. *TR

I FILLED A COMPLAINT BACK IN 2/02/12 NHTSA ID # 10446316. LOOK AT THAT COMPLAINT. DODGE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THERE FUEL TANKS THAT ALLOWS GAS INTO THE EVAP SYSTEM, CAUSING RAW FUEL TO BE SUCKED INTO THE MOTOR THROUGH THE EVAP PURGE SOLENOID AFTER A FILL UP. I DID RECEIVE A CALL FROM A THIRD PARTY ON BEHALF OF DODGE. BUT THERE SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM COULD HAVE ENDED UP COSTING ME CLOSE TO A $1000.00 DOLLARS. I WAS NOT WILLING TO TAKE A CHANCE AND BE ON THE HOOK FOR THAT. I SIMPLY ASKED THAT IF THE GAS TANK WAS THE PROBLEM WHAT WOULD DODGE DO ABOUT IT, TO WHICH I WAS TOLD WE CANNOT SAY. THE WANTED MY COMMITMENT BUT WOULD OFFER NONE ON THERE END. I EVEN TALKED TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND FROM MY CONVERSATION WITH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT I REALLY FELT THAT THEY HAD NO IDEA HOW AN EVAP SYSTEM WORKS, THEY ONLY WANTED TO TRY PARTS ON IT NOT FIND THE ROOT CAUSE, AND I FELT LIKE THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN DONE AT MY EXPENSE. THEREFORE WE LEARNED TO LIVE WITH THIS PROBLEM. NO I SEE THAT THERE HAS BEEN A FINDING WHERE DODGE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SOME TANKS IN CHARGERS. MY COMPLAINT WAS SPECIFIC ABOUT WHAT WAS HAPPENING (FUEL GETTING INTO THE PURGE SOLENOID AFTER FILL UPS AND MOTOR STALLING BECAUSE OF IT). I FELT THAT I SHOULD HAVE BEEN CONTACTED ABOUT THIS AFTER THE FINDINGS SINCE MY COMPLAINT WAS DEAD ON ABOUT THIS ISSUE. NOT ONLY DO I FEEL THAT DODGE HAS DROPPED THE BALL BUT YOUR ORGANIZATION AS WELL. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT. THE CONTACT RECEIVED A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL ON THE FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

I WAS DRIVING HOME ONE DAY . I WAS GOING 55 AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEAR A POP INSIDE THE ENGINE WHILE I'M DRIVING. AFTER THAT DAY, THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING A TICKING/KNOCKING NOISE. IT STARTED GETTING WORSE AND WORSE. I DON'T DRIVE MY CAR ANYMORE BECAUSE WHEN I DRIVE IT, THE ENGINE HEATS UP REALLY FAST AND THE CAR SHAKES ALONG WITH THE TICKING/KNOCKING NOISE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE TICKING/KNOCKING NOISE ON A 2006 DODGE CHARGER 3.5L V6 ENGINE AND A LOT OF RESULTS CAME UP WITH MANY PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM ON THEIR 2006 DODGE CHARGER 3.5L V6 ENGINE. I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT IF YOU STARTED AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS SITUATION CONSIDERING THAT IT HAS HAPPENED TO HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT PLACES. PLEASE REALLY LOOK INTO IT, THANK YOU. *TR

AFTER FILLING TANK 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT V8 STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. FIRST TWO STILL SITTING AT PUMP, NEXT AT INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING RIGHT AND ALSO LOST POWER STEERING, NEXT AT PARKING SPACE WHILE STRAIGHTENING OUT. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY AT INTERSECTIONS OR STALLING IN TRAFFIC. FOUND NHTSA PE13016 REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT I SEE IT IS CLOSED AND WAS ONLY ISSUED TO CERTAIN VINS. ALL AFFECTED MODELS SHOULD BE COVERED FOR THE TANK REPLACEMENT AND ASSOCIATED 'FLOAT' AND VAPOR PURGE VALVE. *TR

ON 4 SEPARATE OCCASIONS NOW WITHIN THE PAST FEW MONTHS, MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN AFTER I HAVE FILLED IT WITH FUEL. THE FIRST 2 TIMES THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE IN THE FUELING STATION PARKING LOT. THE THIRD TIME OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A THREE LANE ROAD TRAVELING AT 50MPH. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BLOCK TRAFFIC. EACH TIME WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS. I USE ONLY PREMIUM FUEL IN THE CAR AND THE FUEL WAS PURCHASED AT DIFFERENT BUSINESSES. AFTER ALLOWING THE CAR TO SIT FOR A MINUTE OR SO, THE CAR WILL RESTART AND RUNS AS NORMAL. I HAVE CALLED A LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THAT THERE IS NO WAY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHER DODGE CHARGER AND CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT THEY TOO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE; CAR SHUTTING OFF AFTER FUELING. MY CONCERN IS THAT BY STALLING IN AN INTERSECTION OR AT HIGH SPEED, EVENTUALLY A WRECK WILL OCCUR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED BY THE DODGE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLING ME THERE IS NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE. *TR

RANDOM STALLS AT LOW RPM. SOMETIMES IS PARK BUT MOSTLY AT REST IN DRIVE. YESTERDAY IT STALLED WHILE MOVING. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY DODGE CHARGER RT WITH FUEL AND TOPPING OFF, WHILE DRIVING BACK HOME THE CAR STALLED 3 TIMES "JUST SHUT OFF" THE CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. IS THIS THE VAPOR PURGE VALVE ON TOP OF THE TANK? *TR

VEHICLE WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO SHOP "PINK" PLASTIC "SHIFT INTERLOCK LATCH" BROKE THE SHIFTER WAS REPLACED. *TR

THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGE. AT FIRST IT WAS ONCE EVER 3 MONTHS NOW IT HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. ON 1/14/2014 AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED NEARLY BEING REAR ENDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THIS PROBLEM GETTING WORSE AND WORSE EVERYTIME. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

AFTER FUELING CAR STARTS JERKING A LITTLE, THEN LIGHTS GO DIM AND CAR SHUTS OFF. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME I HAVE NOTICED IT AND I AM NOT TOPPING THE FUEL BECAUSE SOMESAID NOT TO. I WAS ALSO GOING AROUND A ROUNDABOUT AND CAR SHUT OFF. IT HAS HAPPEND 4 TIMES SINCE I FUELED TODAY. *TR

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AFTER HAVING JUST LEFT A GAS STATION AND FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES NOW AT SLOW SPEEDS AS WELL. DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME, BUT DOES OCCUR OFTEN AND ALWAYS WITHIN MINUTES OF REFUELING. *TR

RECENTLY, UPON FILLING UP MY VEHICLE (I NEVER TOP OFF AND ONLY FILL TO THE CLICK) I MERGED ON TO THE INTERSTATE. AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH I NOTICED MY CAR BEGIN TO SPUTTER AND RAPIDLY DEGREASE IN SPEED. I PULLED OFF TO THE SHOULDER AND MY CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL I FINALLY GOT IT RUNNING PROPERLY. EVER SINCE THIS INCIDENT MY CAR WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES AFTER EVERY FILL UP, WHETHER I PUT 15 GALLONS IN OR 5 GALLONS IN. THIS FORCES ME TO FILL UP IN EITHER RURAL AREAS OR LATE AT NIGHT SO THAT I DO NOT PUT MYSELF OR OTHERS AT RISK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY CHARGERS, MAGNUMS, AND 300CS. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON 1/1/2015 AND IT JUST CUT OFF AND WOULDN'T CRANK BACK, I WAS GLAD I WAS TURNING ON MY STREET, AND THE BACK RIGHT E- BRAKES CAME APART AND TORE UP, WHEN I ALSO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN THE STEERING SECTION MAKES A FUNNY NOISE, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT CUT OFF. I AM ON DISABILITY AND RECEIVE VERY LOW INCOME OF $721 AND I AM TAKING CARE OF TWO CHILDREN OUT OF THAT AND I AM 59 YEARS OLD, SO CAN YOU ALL PLEASE HELP ME GET MY CAR BACK ON THE ROAD, PLEASE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK I STOP AT A RED LIGHT AND I FEEL MY CAR KICK SO I GO THE BACK WAY HOME AS I SLOW DOWN FOR A SPEED BUMP MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF I'VE DID SOME READING AND THIS HAPPENS A LOT WITH THE 2006 CHARGERS A LOT. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEGAN TO STALL AFTER A GAS FILL-UP. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING. I HAD IT STALL ABOUT 5 TIMES AFTER FILLING UP TODAY. ONE IN WHICH I WAS GOING 40 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY IF MYSELF AND FAMILY. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CAR STARTED FLASHING ALMOST EVERY TIME I TURN THEM ON, AND THIS IS FORCING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. IT STARTED WITH A FLASH ON 12/2/2014, AND NOW IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT COULD BE ANYTHING IN THE FRONT END CAUSING A SHORT AND HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS BUT THIS IS NOT A DETERMINED RECALL AT THIS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AND WANTS TO CHARGE EXTRA MONEY JUST TO LOOK AT IT. CONSIDERING I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER DRIVERS WITH THE SAME MAKE/ MODEL/ YEAR VEHICLE IN CAR FORUMS AND BLOGS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE, I'M HOPING THIS REPORT WILL HELP PUSH FOR AN INVESTIGATION AS I HAVE TO DRIVE FOR MY EMPLOYMENT AND DO NOT WANT TO GET A TRAFFIC TICKET FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE FUEL TANK WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 88,000.

ENGINE STALLS AFTER REFUELING. USUALLY AT IDLE BUT HAS STALLED WHILE MOVING RENDERING POWER STEERING INOPERATIVE. COMMON TO PE 13-016 NHTSA. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, SITTING IN TRAFFIC. ENGINE STALLED. VEHICLE TOOK A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART AS IT SAT IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. RESEARCH INDICATES THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM IS COMMON ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

PLEASE REFER TO PE13-016 REGARDING SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. AFTER FILLING CAR WITH GAS LEFT GAS STATION AND CAR STALLED IN TRAFFIC. AFTER A FEW MINUTES CAR STARTED BUT I HAD TO SIT BLOCKING TRAFFIC UNTIL IT STARTED AGAIN. *TR

ALTHOUGH THE RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED, CHRYSLER HAS NOT RELEASED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS TO ANY DEALER IN MY AREA (CENTRAL FLORIDA). FURTHER, THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO DATE BY WHICH THEY EXPECT TO RECEIVE THE PARTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, AT SPEED OR IDLING. NO CODES OR OTHER INDICATIONS. *TR

TYPICAL PROBLEM RELATED BY MANY AFTER REFUELING THE ENGINE DIES AND THUS, FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, I NEVER FILL TO MORE THAN 16 GALLONS. BUT, IF ONE TURNS LEFT WITH FUEL LEVEL AROUND 16 GALLONS, THE ENGINE QUICKLY DIES LEAVING THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITHOUT STEERING OR BRAKES. LEFT HAND TURNS NOW HAVE TO BE MADE AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AFTER REFUELING WHICH CAN ALSO CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS CLEARLY A RECALL ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS SORRY ISSUE WITH A PRESTIGIOUS AUTOMOBILE. *TR

MY CAR WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING. I HAVE TRIED TO RESEARCH WHAT THE PROBLEM, OTHERS INDICATED A FUEL PURGE VALVE. MY CARS RUNS FINE OTHER WISE BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPEN. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP AT GAS STATION, CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC WHEN FUEL IS SUCKED INTO VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM. DEALER SAYS FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALLS. *TR

FULL TANK FILL FOR TRIP TO FLORIDA FROM NORTH CAROLINA. CAR STALLED WITHIN IN FEW BLOCKS FROM GAS STATION. RESTART AND STALL SEVERAL TIMES. LET IDLE FOR AWHILE AND NOTICED RPM'S GOING UP AND DOWN AT IDLE. FINALLY GOT GOING AND FUELED WITH A FULL TANK 2 TIMES ON WAY TO FLORIDA, SAME PROBLEM EACH TIME. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP IN DELAND FLORIDA AND WAS TOLD I HAD A FAULTY FUEL FLOAT AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE FUEL TANK OR I COULD WAIT UNTIL I GOT BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA. THEY SAID IF I ONLY FILLED TO 3/4 IT SHOULD BE FINE. I DID THAT AND GOT BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP IN GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA. THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BY FILLING FUEL TANK AND ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER FOR WARRANTY. CHRYSLER DENIED IT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND GOT A CASE NUMBER. I TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK. NONE OF THEM CALLED BACK, SO I HAD TO MAKE CALLS. THEY DENIED FOR REASONS: VIN NOT COVERED, CAR BUILT IN WRONG MONTH, CAR HAS SALVAGE TITLE, NOT COVERED UNDER X53 OR CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN #14-002-14 ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 2014.. I ASKED FOR A LETTER OF DENIAL. THEY REFUSED. SAID I COULD CONTACT AN ATTORNEY IF I WANTED A LETTER. THE COST FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM WILL BE $1,250.00. I HAVE HAD DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES SINE 1969. NOT A WAY TO TREAT A GOOD CUSTOMER. *TR

PE13-016. CAR STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER REFUELING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY CAR LIGHTS WENT OUT. THE CAR JUST DIED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. DODGE SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

CAR LOCKED IN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERED FOR 2-3 SECONDS THEN ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES SHUT DOWN THIS INCLUDED THE HEADLIGHTS AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING 55 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND THE CAR STOPPING. DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM BUT THE CAR WILL ALSO SURGE FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED LIKE I HAVE STEPPED ON THE GAS BUT MY FOOT WOULD BE ON THE BRAKE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT SCARES ME TO DEATH. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURE. DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. THIS WILL BE THE LAST DODGE I PURCHASE EVEN THOUGH I LIKE TO BUY AMERICAN MADE. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS. I WILL BE CALLING DETROIT WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK AND DRIVING OFF THE GAS STATION LOT ONTO A MAIN ROAD MY CAR STALLED AND DIED ALMOST CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. MY CAR CONTINUED TO STALL ALL THE WAY HOME. IT RESTARTED AFTER STALLING BUT PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR ANYWHERE IN FEAR THAT IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED (MONEY WHICH I DO NOT HAVE) TO A SERVICE STATION WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE OF A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. I CALLED THE CAR DEALER AND THEY DID IN FACT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THE FUEL TANK WILL BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING SEVERAL MONTHS FOR A GAS TANK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT RECEIVING ANY FUEL TANKS. I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL. I CAN NOT GET A JOB BECAUSE I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM. THIS IS REALLY PUT A HARDSHIP ON ME. I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY ARE THERE NO TANKS BEING SENT TO THE DEALERSHIPS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? I CAN NOT DRIVE A CAR THAT PUTS MY LIFE IN DANGER AS WELL AS THE LIVES OF OTHERS. *TR

AFTER REFUELING, THE CAR STALLS AT SPEED. THIS PRETTY MUCH NOW HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL UP. THE CAR ALWAYS RESTARTS, BUT USUALLY HAPPENS 2-4 TIMES AFTER INITIALLY REFUELING. THE DANGER IS, IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS AT SPEED, THE CAR QUICKLY DECELERATES IN TRAFFIC MAKING IT DANGEROUS. MANY TIMES WE HAVE HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD IN TRAFFIC TO RESTART. *TR

THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A MONTH AGE. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLS REPEATEDLY NEARLY CAUSING MY FAMILY AND I TO BE REAR ENDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY KILLING ALL OF US. THIS PROBLEM IS CONTINUOUS. EVERY TIME WE FILL UP THE VEHICLE IT STALLS NUMEROUS TIME PUTTING US AND EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROADWAY IN DANGER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS CAR WILL EITHER STALL RIGHT AWAY OR SOMETIMES AFTER A FEW MILES WHEN CAR STALLS LOOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES MAKING FOR A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED OFF AND ON AND A POP SOUND EMITTED FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTED FROM THE REAR TIRES AND SMOKE APPEARED. ALSO, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS DROVE OUT OF GAS STATION AND CAR STALLED STARTED IT UP AND I DROVE A COUPLE BLOCKS AND IT DID IT AGAIN DROVE ABOUT 1/2 MILE IT DID IT AGAIN. IT WAS SCARY I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. *TR

AFTER REFILLING THE GAS TANK, THE ENGINE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITH "BUCKING". THE TANK WAS NOT OVERFILLED. AFTER ABOUT 5 MILES AND SEVERAL STALLS, THE CONDITION WENT AWAY AND DID NOT REOCCUR UNTIL I GASSED UP AT A DIFFERENT STATION TWO WEEKS LATER. AGAIN THE TANK WAS NOT OVERFILLED. INTERNET SEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS BEING INVESTIGATED AS PE13-016. PRIOR TO THIS THERE HAS BEEN NO SIMILAR INCIDENTS. OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK COMPLETELY, CAR STARTED STALLING GOING DOWN THE ROAD. CONTINUED TO STALL AT STOP LIGHT AND IN PARKING LOT AND WOULD NOT STAY RUNNING UNLESS HITTING THE GAS PEDAL. PROBLEM SEEMED TO RESOLVE ITSELF AFTER A FEW MILES. SAME EXACT ISSUE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST FEW MONTHS, BUT ONLY WHEN FILLING THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY. WHEN ONLY PUTTING PARTIAL AMOUNT INTO TANK, THIS ISSUE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE AN ISSUE. HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 CHARGER AND 2 OTHER CHRYSLER MODELS. SPOKE WITH FIRESTONE IN COLUMBUS GA AND WAS ADVISED THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND THAT MY GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CONTACTED A DODGE DEALERSHIP IN COLUMBUS GA OVER 2 MONTHS AGO AND WAS ADVISED FUEL TANK IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER. *TR

2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T DAYTONA. I NOTICED A LURCH IN THE VEHICLE YESTERDAY AS I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AS WELL AS THE SPEAKERS TURNING OFF/ON. THIS MORNING AS THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE DASHBOARD TURNED OFF, VEHICLE CHIMED AND ALL GAUGES WENT TO ZERO, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING AND WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT DISPLAYING ANY INDICATION ON GAUGES. AFTER ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS, GAUGES RETURNED TO NORMAL AS IF THE VEHICLE HAD RESTARTED. HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 20 MIN WHILE VEHICLE WAS IDLING IN TRAFFIC. NEVER DID IT SEEM THAT THE ENGINE HAD SHUT DOWN. *TR

IN JUNE 2013 I STARTED EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY SHUTTING OFF. TOOK VEHICLE TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT DODGE MECHANIC AND WAS ADVISED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND JUST NOT FILL THE GAS TANK TO FULL WHEN ADDING FULL. THIS WENT ON SEVERAL MONTHS AND AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR "PROBLEMS" NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE I TOOK TO A NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANIC WHO AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS DETERMINED IT NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE SWITCH (DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM) AND FINALLY REBUILDING THE COMPUTER. THIS HELPED THE PROBLEM A LITTLE AS THE STALLING OUT ONLY HAPPENED INFREQUENTLY. HOWEVER, RECENTLY THE PROBLEM IS REOCCURRING MORE FREQUENTLY. *TR

WHEN I FILL UP WITH FUEL I CAN MAKE IT OUT OF THE PARKING LOT AND TO THE INTERSECTION AN THE CAR WILL DIE. AND THEN IT WON'T START FOR A WHILE AND IT SPITS AND SPUTTERS. *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T WITH THE 5.7L HEMI. IT HAS THE 19 GALLON FUEL TANK IN IT. THE TANK IS DEFECTIVE AS IT CAUSES THE CAR TO STALL SOON AFTER A FILL UP AND USUALLY IT'LL JUST STALL ANYTIME IT CHOOSES EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THE NHTSA AND CHRYSLER SETTLED THIS EARLIER THIS YEAR. WELL, I CALLED CHRYSLER CORP. ABOUT THIS AND THEY TRANSFERRED THE WARRANTY INTO MY NAME AND ASKED ME TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER ALL THAT WAS DONE, I GET A CALL FROM DODGE CUSTOMER CARE AND THEY TELL ME THAT THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE CAR SINCE IT WAS ORIGINALLY REGISTERED AND MADE FOR CANADA. THIS IS A VERY STUPID EXCUSE TO AVOID REPAIRING A PROBLEM THEY CAUSED. THEY ARE REFUSING TO REPAIR THEIR DEFECT AS PER THE TERMS THEY AGREED TO WITH THE NHTSA. THIS VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT STALLS OUT AT ANY TIME. *TR

THE OTHER NIGHT I WAS DRIVING MY CAR, AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I PARKED TO GET GAS, TRIED TO START IT BACK UP AND COMPLETELY DIED OUT. I HAD TO BE TOWED BACK HOME, WHILE WORKING ON THE CAR TO FIGURE WHAT WAS GOING ON, I FOUND METAL ALL INSIDE OF MY OIL. WHAT HAD HAPPENED IS THE MOTOR DROPPED A VALVE AND GOT CRUSHED CAUSING CATASTROPHIC FAILURE, AND NOW I MUST BUY A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS FOR 30 MINUTES I HAVE FOUND MANY OTHER STORIES AND PICTURES OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH OTHER PEOPLE. WHY NO ONE HAS ACKNOWLEDGED THIS ISSUE, I HAVE NO IDEA. BUT IT HAS AFFECTED MANY PEOPLE AND LEFT MANY PEOPLE STRANDED. I AM EXTREMELY UPSET WITH THIS SEEING THAT I JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND I ALREADY HAVE TO DROP A NEW MOTOR IN. NHTSA NEEDS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS AFFECTING THOUSANDS OF MODELS. *TR

I JUST FILLED MY CAR UP WITH GAS AND DROVE IT. I CAME TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT AND WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE MY CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. IT FINALLY PICKED UP SPEED, BUT AS I APPROACHED THE SECOND LIGHT IT COMPLETELY CUT OFF. I WAS ABLE TO START IT BUT I HAD TO GO OVER 50+ OR MORE MILES PER HOUR TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING. ONCE I DROVE INTO MY DRIVEWAY IT COMPLETELY CUT OFF AGAIN. I RAN THE CAR FOR 30 MINUTES AND IT DID NOT CUT OFF, BUT WHEN MY HUSBAND LEFT FOR WORK, AS HE APPROACHED THE RED LIGHT IT CUT OFF ONCE AGAIN. THIS HAS GOT BE FIXED. IT IS TO DANGEROUS TO STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION, OR ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING FOR THAT MATTER. I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT HEMI 5.7LITER ENGINE.UP TO DATE ON ALL OIL CHANGES. *TR

ALL OF THE LIGHTS LIGHT UP AND THE NEEDLES MOVE UP/DOWN ON THE DASHBOARD INTERMITTENTLY FOR LIKE 3-4 SECONDS AND NORMALLY DOES THIS TWICE CONSECUTIVELY AND THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. *TR

VEHICLE JERKS WHILE DRIVING AS IF SOMETHING IS STARTING TO DIE OR GO OUT, THEN STARTS RUNNING AGAIN. ONLY APPEARS TO HAPPEN AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK TO COMPLETELY FULL. VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WITHIN SEVERAL FEET AFTER FUELING UP, THEN RESTART AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. YOU DRIVE MAYBE AN EIGHTH OF A MILE AND AS YOU SLOW TO A STOP, THE CAR WILL STALL OUT AND DIE AGAIN. USUALLY FINE FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING. VEHICLE EVENTUALLY SHUTS OFF WHEN I COME TO A NEAR STOP OR AM STOPPED. OIL LAMP LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN THE CAR DIES. TRIED RESTARTING TWICE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THEN WAITED A FEW MINUTES. TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND WAS SUCCESSFUL. IT SEEMS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS, BUT IT SEEMS I HAVE TO DRIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BURN OFF SOME GAS TO KEEP THE GAS TANK UNDER FULL AT ALL TIMES TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM. *TR

CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. *TR
