2006 Dodge Charger complaints

VEHICLE SEEMS TO BUCKLE AND JERK, MOST NOTABLY AFTER REFUELING. FIRST NOTICED THIS WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE TRAVELING AT 70 MPH. VEHICLE EVENTUALLY SHUTS OFF WHEN YOU NEAR A STOP AND SOMETIMES TAKES MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART. THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT SHUTS OFF BUT THE OIL LEVEL IS FINE. *TR

MY CAR WAS USING WAY TOO MUCH GAS COMPARED TO WHAT IT USED TO AND WAS RUNNING POORLY SO I TOOK IT IN FOR A TUNE UP. THE FILTERS, PLUGS, FLUIDS, ETC. WERE DONE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THE TUNE UP I BEGAN TO HAVE TROUBLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SHOP THAT HAD DONE THE TUNE UP BUT AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF LETTERS FROM OTHER PEOPLE, I KNOW NOW THAT IT IS THE CAR. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS: WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT STOP SIGN, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND DIED WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF THE STOP SIGN. THE CAR STARTED UP AND SEEMED FINE. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, AGAIN, I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STALLED ABOUT 4 BLOCKS FROM THE STOP SIGN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL SEPTEMBER15, 2014, WHEN THE CAR DIED WHEN I WAS APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I HAVE 5 GRANDCHILDREN THAT I TRANSPORT DAILY AND THIS CAR IS JUST NOT SAFE TO DO SO ANYMORE. THANK GOODNESS I HAVE NOT GONE OUT OF TOWN WITH A CAR LOAD OF CHILDREN AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN.

AFTER FUELING MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER ON THE ABOVE STATED DATE THE CAR STALLED AFTER EXITING THE GAS STATION. I RESTARTED THE CAR AND PROCEEDED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION WHERE IT HESITATED AND STALLED AGAIN. AFTER RESTARTING THE SECOND TIME THERE WERE NO MORE ISSUES WITH THE CAR STALLING THAT DAY. A DAY LATER THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH BEING ABLE TO STOP THE CAR UPON PRESSING ON THE BRAKES AND COMING TO AN INTERSECTION. LUCKILY THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE CLEAR THE INTERSECTION AND AN ACCIDENT WAS AVOIDED AT THAT TIME. A COUPLE DAYS LATER THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP AS NEEDED AGAIN AT AN INTERSECTION. DURING THE TIMES WHERE THE CAR IS UNABLE TO STOP IT SEEMS AS IF THE CAR DECREASES IN ACCELERATION AND IS UNCONTROLLABLE AT THAT TIME, AFTER TAKING IT TO A LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, WHICH IS COVERED UNDER DODGE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT IT IS UNKNOWN AS TO WHEN THE TWO NEEDED PARTS WOULD BE IN BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIPS ARE ON RESTRICTION WITH ORDERING THE NEEDED PARTS (2 PARTS ARE NEEDED, ONE PART CAN BE ORDER 1 EVERY 7 DAYS AND THE OTHER 1 CAN BE ORDER 1 EVERY 14 DAYS). THE ONLY ADVICE THAT I AM BEING GIVEN IS NOT TO FILL THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY UP, BUT THESE ISSUES HAVE OCCURRED WITHOUT THE TANK BEING COMPLETELY FULL. I WAS GIVEN AN ESTIMATED TIME FRAME OF 4 TO 6 MONTHS BEFORE THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE, WHICH IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE BECAUSE I HAVE TO WORK DAILY.DODGE SEEMS UNWILLING TO ACCOMMODATE CONSUMERS WHILE THIS

SINCE 4-7-14 THRU 7-16-14 THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED TWO FUEL TANKS ( ACCORDING TO EXTENDED LIFETIME COVERAGE LETTER DATED MAY 8,2014), O2 SENSOR, TRANSMISSION MODULE,SPARK PLUGS, IGNITION COILS AND DISCONNECTED THE REMOTE STARTER. THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AND SHUTOFF. *TR

FILLED VEHICLE WITH 10% ETHANOL 87 OCTANE GASOLINE AT SELF-SERVICE STATION ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2014. DROVE AWAY AND VEHICLE STALLED AT FIRST INTERSECTION. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND STARTED IT WITH NO FURTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL I FILLED TANK AGAIN AFTER ABOUT 250 MILES. (I WAS DRIVING A 1500 MILE TRIP FROM ONE STATE TO ANOTHER.) EVERY TIME I REFILLED THE TANK, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHIN A FEW HUNDRED FEET OF FILLING STATION. THIS STALLING HAS CONTINUED THROUGH YESTERDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2014, AND I AM CONCERNED IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN WHEN I REFILL THE TANK. IF THE VEHICLE STALLS AT THE WRONG TIME, SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY HURT OR KILLED. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR ONLY A WEEK. IT'S A BEAUTIFUL CAR WITH A 5.7 HEMI. THE FIRST TIME I FUELED THE VEHICLE IT STALLED AS I RE ENTERED TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. IT STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN A 4 BLOCK AREA BUT WOULD RESTART EACH TIME. WITH A 16 YEAR OLD SON NOW DRIVING I AM CONCERNED THAT HE MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO REACT APPROXIMATELY. I'M GOING TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

CAR RUNS ROUGH AND DIES. CAR DIED WHILE CROSSING A STEET IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. NEVER CAN TELL WHEN CAR WILL ACT UP, AND THIS IS A POLICE PATROL CAR. THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD IN THIS YEAR MODEL, AND COULD LEAD TO A CRASH, AND EVEN DEATH. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES LEAVING ME STRANDED IN TRAFFIC UNTIL I COULD GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN. IT IS ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE O STALLING WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN OR COMING TO AN ABRUPT STOP. I HAVE BEEN AT THE MERCY OF OTHER VEHICLES SEEING MY PREDICAMENT AND STOPPING TO AVOID RUNNING INTO ME. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO BRING MY CAR IN TO GET IT TESTED AND IF THE PROBLEM IS VERIFIED I CAN GET ON A WAITING LIST OF OVER 50 PEOPLE. THEY ARE CURRENTLY GETTING REPLACEMENT PARTS TO CORRECT THE DEFECT AT THE RATE OF ONE EVERY 3 WEEKS. DOING THE MATH, THEY EXPECT ME TO PUT MYSELF AT RISK FOR ANOTHER 3 YEARS BEFORE CORRECTING THE PROBLEM, OR TAKE THE LOSS AND REPLACE THE VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT CHRYSLER'S EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS RECEIVED FOR NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13016 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE ) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE EXPERIENCED THE FAILURE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. THE DEALER WAS UNCERTAIN OF WHEN THE PART WAS TO BECOME AVAILABLE AND WAS UNABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE UNDER THE RECALL REMEDY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE AND STATED THAT THE PART WOULD NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR APPROXIMATELY ANOTHER 5-6 MONTHS. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. THE CONTACT HAD TO USE A SCREWDRIVER IN ORDER TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT OUT OF PARK. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY BECAME LODGED IN THE IGNITION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

I STARED MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER UP ONE DAY AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A LAWNMOWER, SO I SENT IT OFF TO THE DEALER SAY IT DROPPED A VALVE, I SAY HOW THAT HAPPEN THEY TELL ME ITS A DEFECT WITH THOSE ENGINES HE GETS THEM IN ALL THE TIME. IM SO UPSET BEHIND THIS MATTER CAUSE THEY WANT $3500 TO FIX MY CAR, I KEEP MY CAR FULLY SERVICED JUST HAD A MAJOR TUNE UP & WATER PUMP REPLACED. *TR

CAR DIED IN INTERSECTION. HAPPENED TWICE. IT STALLS, CHOKES AND DIES THEN HAS PROBLEMS RESTARTING TAKES ABOUT 3-4 TRIES THEN RESTARTS. VERY DANGEROUS AND ACCIDENT CAUSING. *TR

FOOT ON BRAKE... START CAR... CAN NOT MOVE SHIFT LEAVER FROM PARK POSITION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE GEAR SHIFTER BRACKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V583000 (POWER TRAIN). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

CAR STALLS OUT AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. IT ALSO IS DYING AND CRANKING BACK UP AT 40 MPH AND A COUPLE OF TIMES ON THE FREEWAY DOING 80 MPH. ALSO JUST SITTING AT A RED LIGHT WITH A HALF OF TANK OF GAS AND CAR JUST DIES. HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK TO RESTART IT. *TR

I LEARNED ABOUT THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY AND WILL BE GETTING THAT REPAIRED, BUT MY ISSUE IS AT 75 TO 100% THROTTLE MY CAR WILL STALL OUT. BUT MY CAR STARTS BACK UP ON ITS OWN LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. WHEN IT STALLS IT THROWS YOU FORWARD LIKE THE CAR IS BRAKING AND THEN WHEN IT FIRES BACK UP YOU CAN HIT THE THROTTLE AND IT WILL GO AS NORMAL. *TR

WHEN DRIVING @40MPH, ENGINE LOST POWER, DASH SIGNALED 'DING', AND THROTTLE BODY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IT RESTARTED AS THE CAR COASTED. HAS REPEATED NUMEROUS TIMES, INCLUDING TODAY, 3 TIMES IN LESS THAN 1 1/2 MILES, AT LESS THAN 20MPH. NO TROUBLE CODES SCANNED OR DISPLAYED. SYMPTOM WENT AWAY FOR 1 1/2 MONTHS AFTER CHANGING OUT SPARK PLUGS, AS A DODGE TECH RECOMMENDED. HE ALSO SAYS THE IGNITION COILS DETERIORATE OVER TIME, AND THE INTERNAL SHIELDING DOES NOT KEEP STRAY 'NOISE' FROM TRAVELLING INTO THE ENGINE CONTROLLER, EFFECTIVELY RESETTING IT, AND SHOWING NO CODES. HAVING 8 FACTORY COILS TO REPLACE AT $55 EACH IS QUITE A GAMBLE THAT MAY NOT FIX THE ISSUE. AFTERMARKET COILS APPARENTLY DO NOT FIX THIS, EITHER. I HAVE TIGHTENED EVERY ELECTRICAL GROUNDING POINT I CAN FIND ON THE CAR, UNPLUGGED/PLUGGED NUMEROUS CONNECTORS TO RESEAT THEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT APPEARS ON '06 AND SOME 07 CHARGERS. IF THIS HAPPENS AND A COLLISION OCCURS BECAUSE OF THIS, I WILL SEEK FULL LEGAL REMEDY FROM FCA(CHRYSLER) AS THIS IS AN OBVIOUS LIABILITY/SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AFTER I STOP AND FILL MY GAS TANK, MY CAR WILL STALL AND SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED LEAVEN THE GAS STATION BECAUSE THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF ON ME. THIS WILL ONLY AFTER I FILL MY GAS TANK TO FULL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, I HEARD A CHIME, AND THE ENGINE OIL SYMBOL CAME ON, THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE VEHICLE STOPPED. (BEARING IN MIND THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED JUST TWO WEEKS PRIOR ) . I HAVE TAKEN IT TO LOCAL DODGE SERVICE AND THEY DID NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENED SINCE FIVE TIMES. AT THE LOCAL SERVICE WHEN IT HAPPENED ON THE THIRD TIME THE INFACT KEPT IT UNTIL THE PROBLEM WAS DUPLICATED. HOWEVER,THEY ARGUED SINCE THEY WERE NO LONGER CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE. UNDER THERE OWN MANAGEMENT THEY TOOK IT TO A CERTIFIED DODGE DEALER. THE DEALER HAD IT SAID HE DID COMPUTER UPDATES 5 DAYS LATER THE PROBLEM OCCURRED AGAIN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IT WAS NIGHT AND MY LIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OUT I COULDN'T SEE IT STILL DOING IT AT NIGHT GOING OFF. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. IT STALLED 3 TIMES ON ME, TWICE ON THE ROAD AND ONCE IN THE DRIVE WAY. I CALLED DODGE AND THEY SAID IT SHOULD RUN IF THE GAS TANK IS NO FULL. I TOLD THEM IT WAS ON 3/4 TANK. I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT FOR JULY 7, 2014 AND MY HUSBAND WENT IN. THEY ORDERED THE PART, IT'S CALLED THE FUEL TANK MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE. ONE WEEK LATER DODGE OF ELK GROVE CALLED AND THEY WERE CANCELLING EVERYONE'S APPOINTMENT'S. I BEEN WITHOUT A CAR SENSE MAY 30, 2014. I'VE BEEN CONTACTING DODGE OF ELK GROVE AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT GET THE PART. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE DEALERS ARE GETTING 1 PART EVERY 14 DAYS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR BECAUSE IT MIGHT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT THAT I DON'T WANT TO BE IN CONTROL OF OR A PART OF. *TR

I FILLED MY GAS TANK GETTING READY TO GO ON A TRIP AND VEHICLE STARTED STALLING OUT WITHOUT WARNING ,ENGINE WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THERE IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE 2006 DODGE CHARGERS WITH THE FUEL TANK. *TR

RE:PE13-016 RE: DODGE/CHRYSLER X53 - 19 FUEL TANK VEHICLE BEGAN SHUTTING OFF ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AFTER REFUELING. UPON RECEIVING "EXTENDED WARRANTY" LETTER FROM CHRYSLER - MAY 8, 2014, CALLED DEALER TO HAVE PART REPLACED. PART HAS BEEN ON "BACKORDER" FOR LAST 2 MONTHS. I KEEP GETTING TOLD "YOU ARE NEXT IN LINE TO RECEIVE PART" FROM THE DEALER AND THE DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER TOLL FREE LINE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND FOR NO REASON OR FAULT OF YOURS, THE CAR BEGINS TO STALL OR CUT OFF COMPLETELY. MY CAR HAS CUT OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC - LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS THE LANES..."SAFELY". MY CAR HAS CUT OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40-50 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AND TRUTH BE KNOW, THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND HANDLED PROMPTLY BY CHRYSLER. I HAVE SEVERAL DOCUMENTED CALLS INTO CHRYSLER. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN PART WILL BE ORDERED OR SENT TO DEALER OR STATUS OF SITUATION. PLEASE HELP CONSUMERS GET THIS PROBLEM ESCALATED. THANK YOU. *TR

IT IS HARD STARTING AND WILL STALL ANYWHERE BETWEEN 0 TO 45 MPH. WHEN IT STARTS ROUGH IT WILL NOT GO FORWARD OR REVERSE WITHOUT STALLING. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. WHEN THE CAR STALLS IT DOES SO WITH NO WARNING AND CAN LEAVE YOU WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. IT DID IT OFF AND ON AT FIRST BUT NOW DOES ALMOST EVERY TIME I RUN IT. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND GAVE HIM A COPY OF THE LIFETIME WARRANTY GAS TANK PROBLEM AND TOLD HIM OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THE CAR. HE IGNORED ME AND DID 4 FLASHES ON THE CAR PLUS $110 OF "CLEANUP" WORK ON THE CAR AND TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED. ON THE WAY HOME IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SHE HAD NO STEERING. THE DEALER PAPERWORK SAID THEY PULLED UP 4 CODES ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER, WHICH I GOT NONE OF WHEN I RAN MY CODE READER ON IT BEFORE TAKING IT TO THEM. ONE OF THE REPORTED CODES DOES NOT EVEN SHOW ON THE CHART AND ANOTHER ONE WAS A "C" CODE FOR A CHASSE PROBLEM. UPON GETTING THE CAR HOME, AFTER STALLING SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY HOME, I CALLED THE BANK AND STOPPED THE PAYMENT FOR THE WORK THEY SAY THEY DID. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM (FARTHER AWAY) BUT HOW DO I GET THEM TO DO THE REPAIR I WANT, NOT WHAT THEY FEEL LIKE DOING? THANKS. *TR

THIS CAR STALLS FOR THE FIRST 20-30 MILES AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, WHILE IDLING, WHEN CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ETC... *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, AND HAVE REGULARLY MAINTAINED IT AND PERFORMED ALL THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT THE MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED INTERVALS. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY, WITH NO INDICATIONS OF ANY ISSUES. ON 8/12/14, I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT MADE A HORRENDOUS BANGING NOISE BEFORE IMMEDIATELY SHUTTING DOWN. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED HOME (AS I WAS THIRTY MILES AWAY) AND DISCOVERED THE ENGINE VALVE IN PISTON #2 HAD BROKEN AND SHATTERED, CAUSING AN ENGINE FAILURE, WITH THE ONLY REPAIR BEING A COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD OR REPLACEMENT. A CHECK ON-LINE SHOWED THIS IS A COMMON AND RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND ENGINE TYPE (2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T). I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO DODGE, AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE OF VALVES, HOWEVER THE DODGE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE EVIDENCE TO THIS IS THE ENGINE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX THIS (BLOCK, VALVES, ETC.) ARE ON A 2 TO 6 MONTH BACK-ORDER. PLEASE HELP! I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BASICALLY PAY FOR A NEW CAR FOR A KNOWN ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE MAIN ROAD GOING AROUND 45 MPH. THEN MY CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS IF I WASN'T IN DRIVE. I CONTINUE TO PUSH THE GAS AND MAKE I WAS IN DRIVE AND NOTHING HAPPENED. I TRIED TO PULL OF THE ROAD BUT MY CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. AS I PUT THE CAR IN PARK THE CAR CONTINUE TO ROLL. I HAD TO SIT WITH MY FOOT ON THE BREAK UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK CAME TO TOW MY CAR. HAD MY CAR WORKED ON PAID $1500 DOLLARS AND I'M STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM THE CAR WANT GO IN GEAR OR IT JUST STALLS. SO FAR I HAVE HAD MY CAR TOWED 6 TIMES SINCE JUNE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THERE WAS A BEEPING NOISE THAT SOUNDED THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF FOR AN HOUR AND WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED IT BEGAN TO FUNCTION NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WITHIN TEN MINUTES. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON A REGULAR BASIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THERE WERE NO DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED NOR WAS THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000.

AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE, THE ENGINE WOULD STALL EACH TIME THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP. THIS HAPPENED FOR SEVERAL MILES. AFTER SEVERAL MILES OF CONTINUOUS DRIVING, THE PROBLEM STOPPED. I'VE READ THIS IS DUE TO A EVAP PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR AND MAKE OF CAR. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER TRANSMISSION SHIFTER IS STUCK ON THE PARK POSITION. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER IN REGARDS TO THEIR CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39 TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER RECALL THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS NOT IN RECALL BUT ON THE NOTIFICATION IT STATES 2005 - 2007 DODGE CHARGERS WHERE ON RECALL FOR THE SHIFTER INTER LOCK BEING STUCK ON THE PARK POSITION. I WAS TOLD THAT ONLY CERTAIN VIN NUMBERS WHERE ON RECALL & THAT ALTHOUGH MY CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME PART ITS NOT ON RECALL, BUT IF MY CAR WAS IN THAT SAME TIME FRAME, HAS THE SAME PARTS & IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE OTHERS THAT WHERE ON RECALL WHY IS MY CAR NOT ON THAT RECALL & WHY I CANNOT GET MY CAR REPAIRED? *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER 3.5L V6 NEW IN MAY 2006. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CAR UNTIL SUMMER OF 2009 JUST AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY GEAR SHIFTER STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. I CALLED DODGE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD SAME ISSUE. WAS TOLD NO, I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED SOMEWHERE AROUND $450-500. ON MONDAY I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED BECAUSE IT BROKE DOWN ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO EXPLODE LIKE IN A CARTOON. IT WAS MAKING KNOCKING NOISES AND SOUNDED LIKE A DIESEL TRUCK. MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE WAS SHOT. HOW COULD THIS BE? MY CAR HAS 67,716 MILES ON IT!!! VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR A 2006 VEHICLE. CALLED DODGE AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE PROBLEM. I READ OF MANY, MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. NO RECALL, BUT IF I CAN HAVE IT TOWED TO AN APPROVED DODGE DEALER AND GET A DIAGNOSIS FROM THEIR MECHANIC, CALL BACK. I WAS GIVEN A CLAIM # FROM DODGE HQ. I HAVE AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER GOING OUT TOMORROW MORNING TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE AND THE PROBLEM. I AM FURIOUS! I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS CAR AND IT SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 67K MILES! UPDATE FROM AUG 5, 2014 UPDATE: 8/5/14 INSURANCE TOLD ME THAT IT IS A KNOWN COMMON ISSUE WITH THE DODGE CHARGER AND BECAUSE OF THIS, THERE ARE NOT MANY RECYCLED ENGINES AVAILABLE OR IF THEY ARE FOUND, IT MIGHT HAVE SAME ISSUE AS MINE DID. ADJUSTER SAID THAT IT WAS A PRESSURE LEAK THAT ONLY HAPPENS WH

I HAVE 2006 DODGE CHARGER WITH A FAULTY GAS TANK. IT HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED AND ESTABLISHED BY CHRYSLER THAT THIS IS ACCURATE. UNFORTUNATELY THE REFUELING OF THE VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY PROBLEM. HERE IS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. WHILE ACCELERATING INTO TRAFFIC THE VEHICLE ALSO SHUTS OFF. I HAVE EXPERIENCE THIS IN THE PAST FOR THE LAST THREE YEARS WITH FAILED REPAIRS. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND HAPPENS AFTER HALF THROTTLE OR BETTER. THIS IS APPARENTLY DO TO THE SENSOR OR FLOAT IN THE GAS TANK MALFUNCTIONING. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH ON THE DODGE FORUMS, CHRYSLER WAS INITIALLY IN DENIAL AND NOW IS VERY SLOW TO CORRECT THE ISSUE. I AM PRESENTLY WAITING FOR PARTS. THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME, THEY GET A FUEL TANK IN EVERY 15 DAYS OR SO FOR REPAIRS INVOLVING THIS ISSUE. THE OWNERS ARE NOT AWARE OF THE DANGER THIS CAN CAUSE WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE'S POWER AND FUEL JUST SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING TO OTHER DRIVERS. THIS RESULTED IN A VEHICLE SWAYING AROUND ME INTO TRAFFIC AVOIDING A REAR COLLISION; BECAUSE OF COURSE I HAD NO BRAKE LIGHTS THAT ILLUMINATED. *TR

I HAVE EXPERIENCED A NUMBER OF INCIDENTS WHERE THE VEHICLE WHILE MOVING AT A SLOW SPEED (TYPICALLY IN CITY TRAFFIC) THE VEHICLE WILL JERK FORWARD AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL DING. SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL PUSH THROUGH AND KEEP MOVING OTHER TIMES IT WILL STALL COMPLETELY AND NEED TO BE RESTARTED. THIS HAS BEEN INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS AS IT HAS HAPPENED GETTING ON HIGHWAYS FROM ON RAMPS. ONCE I RESTART THE CAR ALL SEEMS TO BE FINE BUT ITS COMPLETELY UNPREDICTABLE AND VERY DANGEROUS! *JS

COLUMN SHIFTER WILL NOT GO INTO PARK. SHIFTS INTO OTHER GEARS, BUT WILL NOT ENGAGE INTO PARK. CAR WILL ROLL IF PARKING BRAKE IS NOT ENGAGED, OR SWITCH INTO A DIFFERENT GEAR. CHRYSLER STATED THAT THE RECALL IS ONLY VIN# SPECIFIC, BUT CLEARLY IT IS EFFECTING ALL 2006 CHARGERS. *TR

AFTER FILL UP CAR STALLED SHORTLY AFTER ,WHILE IN TRAFFIC, CAR STARTED UP AND SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME, BUT CAR KEPT TURNING ON AND SHUTTING DOWN AT IDLE AND LOW SPEED. *TR

AFTER EVERY FILL UP MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER WILL DIE. IT WILL STALL. IT WILL STOP RUNNING. THIS WILL, AND HAS HAPPENED WHILE IDLING AT INTERSECTIONS, DURING U-TURNS, LEFT TURNS, RIGHT TURNS, AT 25 MPH, AT FREEWAY SPEEDS UP TO 65 MPH, AND, OR EVERY SPEED IN BETWEEN. IT OCCURS UP TO AND UNTIL THE ENGINE BURNS OFF SUFFICIENT FUEL SO AS NOT TO EFFECT WHATEVER SYSTEM IS BEING EFFECTED/FAILING. THIS IS POTENTIALLY FATAL (ONE EXAMPLE COULD BE WHILE MAKING A LEGAL LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF ON COMING TRAFFIC FULLY EXPECTING THE CAR TO CONTINUE RUNNING, AND THEN IMMEDIATELY LOSING ENGINE POWER, POWER BRAKES, AND POWER STEERING WHICH ARE ALL SUPPLIED ONLY WHILE THE ENGINE IS RUNNING. THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY AS I HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS FOR IDENTICAL ISSUES. *TR

I WAS STOPPED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I BEGAN MAKING A LEFT AND THE CAR STALLED. AN ONCOMING VAN NEARLY T'D MY CAR AT 40 MPH. THIS WAS THE THIRD INCIDENT IN THE PAST MONTH. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE CHRYSLER/DODGE FACES A SIMILAR FATE AS GM. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER STALLS AND DIES WHEN I AM DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN I STOP. THIS USUALLY OCCURS AFTER I HAVE REFUELED MY CAR. ON THE LAST OCCURRENCE MY CAR DIED IN AN INTERSECTION. THE CAR USUALLY RESTARTS AFTER I TURN THE KEY. HOWEVER, THE OTHER DAY IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO RESTART IT AGAIN. *TR

JUST AN UPDATE SINCE MY FIRST COMPLAINT IN JUNE 2014. THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES AFTER EVERY FILL UP. TODAY, IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TWICE (WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC) AND THEN DIED A THIRD TIME WHEN I WAS PAST THE INTERSECTION BUT WITHIN THE SAME BLOCK. I WISH MY HUSBAND HAD NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR. *TR

I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I PROCEEDED TO GO THROUGH THE LIGHT AND INTERSECTION (4-WAY VERY BUSY HIGHWAY) AND THE CAR STALLED LOCKING UP THE STEERING WHEEL, LIGHTING UP THE DASH. I MANAGED TO MANEUVER JUST ENOUGH TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT THIS WAS ONE OF THE TIMES MY CHILD WAS WITH ME DURING A VERY HECTIC DAY AND IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR CRASH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE FUEL CUTTING OFF OR WHATEVER IS CAUSING THE CAR TO CUT OFF AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE PUT GAS IN THE CAR. *TR

ENGINE OVERHEATED, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AND, I NOW NEED A NEW ENGINE. THERE WERE RECALLS FOR SOME OF THE ENGINE COOLING FANS IN MY CAR YEAR AND MODEL (06 DODGE CHARGER), BUT I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO ME. *TR

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS NEVER BEEN AN ACCIDENT. I DON'T THINK IT WILL DEPLOY CORRECTLY. IT IS TRULY A SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

2006 DODGE CHARGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD A TRANSMISSION LEAK, AND IT SHUDDERED, THE SUN ROOF RATTLED AND THE SIDE TRIM FELL OFF. A FORMER TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST, INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE CONDENSATION DRAIN FOR THE AIR CONDITION DRIPPED ONTO THE TRANSMISSION AND POOLED AROUND THE TRANSMISSION FILLER TUBE. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A 140,000 MILES, IT BEGAN EMITTING WHITE SMOKE, TO THE POINT WHERE THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SEE OUT OF HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR. AN INSPECTION REVEALED THE VALVE SEAT OF THE #3 CYLINDER HAD DROPPED OUT, SMASHING TWO LARGE HOLES ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE PISTON, THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. THERE WAS ALSO A HAIRLINE CRACK ACROSS THE APEX OF THE PISTON HOLE-TO-HOLE, THE DEBRIS HAD PUMMELED THE CYLINDER HEAD. ALSO, DEBRIS FROM THE DAMAGE HAD BEEN SUCKED BACK INTO THE INLET MANIFOLD DEPOSITING METAL CHUNKS INTO THE #1 AND #2 CYLINDERS DAMAGING THE PISTONS AND HEADS WITH SMALL CHUNKS OF METAL EMBEDDED IN THEM. *JB UPDATED 08/28/14

I HAD A 2006 CHARGER (RECENTLY SOLD) WITH THE WELL DOCUMENTED STALLING ISSUES AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR DIED I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AFTER 2 ADDITIONAL STALLS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALER WHO COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM & SOLD ME A NEW GAS CAP. GAS CAP DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. FOR THE NEXT 18 MONTHS I COULD ONLY FILL THE TANK 3/4 FULL TO ENABLE ME TO USE MY CAR SAFELY. I REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND OTHER COMPONENTS IN 2012 TO THE TUNE OF $1.8K. NOW CHRYSLER/DODGE TELLS ME THAT EVEN THOUGH MY CHARGER FITS ALL THE CRITERIA FOR THE LIFETIME WARRANTY, MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE WARRANTY. I WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED NOW AND POSSIBLY NOT EVER, ALL BECAUSE OF A LETTER BEHIND THE 3 DIGIT SALES CODE. NONE OF THE DOCUMENTATION I RECEIVED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR CONTAINS THE SALES CODE SO I HAVE TO RECOURSE TO PROVE ME RIGHT AND THEM WRONG. *TR

2 MONTHS AGO I WAS LEAVING WORK AND GOT IN MY CAR TO GO HOME. MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER AND WAS CHARGED 1500 TO REPAIR!! AFTER LEARNING OF ALL THE GO RECALLS, I'VE COME ACROSS MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT SOME CARS WERE RECALLED AND SOME NOT, FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? I AM REQUESTING THIS ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED AND GO TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! SOME ARE BEING TOLD IT WASN'T RECALLED DUE TO NOT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE??? HOW IS IT NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CAN'T MOVE YOUR CAR? I COULD HAVE BEEN ANYWHERE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO LEAVE. FURTHERMORE, EVEN IF IT'S NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE, HOW IS THE CONSUMER TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT?? PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. *JS

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR STARTED TO STALL DO TO A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE FORWARD AND BACK VERY HARD THEN THE ENGINE WOULD RACE ALMOST TO REDLINE THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL. IT DID THIS THREE TIMES BUT ON THE THIRD TIME I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE MEDAL HITTING MEDAL. THE THIRD TIME I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND HEARD THIS LOUD TICKING SOUND. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE SOUND WAS STILL THERE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOOK APART MY ENGINE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A ROD BEARING ISSUE AND MY ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME $6300. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS FAIR DUE TO THE REPEATED ENGINE STALLING AND JUMPING IS WHAT CAUSED MY ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY TOLD ME THAT THE STALLING AND JUMPING IS THE CAUSE OF MY ISSUE AND BECAUSE THERE IS A WARRANTY ON THE GAS TANK THEY WOULD REPLACE ANY DAMAGE THAT IT CAUSED. AFTER REQUESTING THE FUNDS FROM CHRYSLER CORP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED MY ISSUE COULD NOT BE CAUSED BY THE JUMPING AND STALLING. I QUESTION THEIR HONESTY. I CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REFUSE TO COVER ANY DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE MILEAGE AND IT CANNOT BE PROVEN WHAT CAUSED MY ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REPEATED JUMPING AND STALLING COULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. *TR

IN MAY 2014 I RECIEVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER IN REGARDS TO THE FAULTY FUEL TANK IN MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT. THEY WROTE TO LET ME KNOW THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF A FAULTY FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT IN MY GAS TANK THAT WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. I CALLED TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS ONLY SENDING OUT ONE FUEL TANK PER DEALERSHIP PER WEEK AND THAT I WAS 7TH IN LINE TO HAVE MY WORK PERFORMED. SO THAT MEANT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT WAS CONTINUALLY CUTTING OFF FOR 2 MONTHS EVEN BEFORE THEY WOULD FIX IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO INQUIRE WHY IT WOULD TAKE SO LONG TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW IS CAUSING NUMEROUS VEHICLES TO CUT OFF AND THEY SAID THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER. I INDICATED TO THEM THAT I HAD COME CLOSE TO HAVING NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND YET THEY DIDNT SEEM TO CARE ONE IOTA. AFTER WAITING 2 MONTHS FOR MY TIME IN LINE TO COME AROUND I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHEN THE WORK WOULD BE ABLE TO BE DONE AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NEXT IN LINE BUT THE PART WAS STILL ON BACKORDER AND COULD NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED YET. THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE PARTS IN. I FIND IT VERY HARD TO FATHOM THAT A MAJOR AUTOMAKER SUCH AS CHRYSLER/DODGE, KNOWING ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES THAT ARE CAUSING THEM TO SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC AND ARE NOT EXPEDITING THE PROCESS OF HAVING THOSE VEHICLES FIXED. I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY THUS FAR BY NOT HAVING A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND THE STEERING SHAFT WAS LOOSE.
