2006 Dodge Charger complaints

AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK, LEAVING THE GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES. FIRST OUT OF THE GAS STATION , THEN 2 MORE TIMES WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY. VERY NERVE RACKING. THIS HAS BEEN A CONSISTENT SITUATION EVERYTIME I HAVE FILLED UP FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE VEHICLE TO TRAVEL BACK AND FORTH TO WORK OR OTHER BUSINESS NEEDS. NOT REAL HAPPY RIGHT NOW. HAVE CONTACT DEALER AND WAITING RESPONSE. *TR

NEARLY EVERY TIME I REFUEL THE VEHICLE IT STALLS 4-6 TIMES IN THE FIRST 5 MILES. THIS HAS LEFT ME IN TURNS WITHOUT POWER STEERING, ON HIGHWAY ON RAMPS WITHOUT POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, AND SITTING IN BUSY INTERSECTIONS ATTEMPTING TO RE-START THE CAR. IT IS WORSE IF I TURN LEFT AFTER GASSING UP - CAR WILL IMMEDIATELY DIE WHILE IN THE INTERSECTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 30 TIMES IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS. *TR

TRANSMISSION FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE TRANSMISSION WENT INTO LIMP MODE. PROBLEM DIAGNOSED AS FOULED TRANSMISSION WIRING HARNESS DUE TO FLUID CONTAMINATION. THE SPEED SENSORS AND CONNECTORS AT THE TRANSMISSION WERE DAMAGED BY THE LEAKING OF TRANSMISSION FLUID BY THE O-RINGS ASSOCIATED WITH THE SENSORS AND HARNESS. *TR

DURING START-UP ENGINE "SPUN A BEARING" AND DEVELOPED A "ROD KNOCK" ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP ENGINE MECHANIC. *TR

FILLED GAS TANK TILL THE PUMP AUTO SHUT OFF. PULLED OUT ONTO THE HIGHWAY, ACCELERATED TO ABOUT 20 MPH, LET OFF TO TURN AT NEXT INTERSECTION AND CAR STALLED. RESTARTED AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. WAITED 10 MINUTES AND RESTARTED, RAN ROUGH UNTIL GOT BACK ON INTERSTATE. HAS HAPPENED AGAIN ON 6/6/2013. *TR

THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING. IT COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WITH A LOSS OF ALL POWER. SHIFTING TO NEUTRAL AND RESTARTING WHILE IN MOTION TYPICALLY WORKS TO REGAIN POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES OVER THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS, WITH NO PATTERN AS TO WHEN OR WHY. THE CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER TWICE TO NO AVAIL. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH IN THE CENTER LANE DURING BUSY TRAFFIC AND IT WAS DARK, THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I ALSO HAD A MY 14 MONTH BABY IN THE CAR. THERE WAS LOST OF POWER, STEERING WAS LOST. I HAD TO SHIFT IT IN NEUTRAL AND GLIDE TO THE SHOULDER LANE ALMOST BEING HIT BY A TRUCK. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED, WHEN I SHIFTED IT IN DRIVE AND PROCEEDED TO TRY AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THE ENGINE & ELECTRICAL LIGHT WAS ON. I TRIED RESTARTING IT AND IT STARTED AND DROVE LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND SAYS THAT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING, THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD KEEP MY VEHICLE AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON, IF THEY DON'T FIND ANYTHING THAN THEY WOULD KEEP IT AND TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I COULD BE WITHOUT MY CAR UNTIL THEY FIGURE IT OUT. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THERE IS NOW AN INVESTIGATION ONGOING BUT UNTIL THEN MANY OWNERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM OR GO WITHOUT THEIR VEHICLE. A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT TO INCLUDE SERIOUS INJURIES AND OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER CAN HAPPEN AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN? BEFORE THIS OCCURS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY AND THE COM

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND RESUMED AS NORMAL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETECT A TROUBLE CODE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,000. ..UPDATED 08-07-13 *BF

AFTER FILLING MY CAR UP WITH GAS, I TURNED THE CAR ON SO I COULD LEAVE THE LOT. AFTER IT RAN FOR ABOUT 3 SECONDS, THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED. I WAITED A MOMENT OR SO, AND THEN RE-STARTED THE CAR. IT DID STAY UP LONGER THIS TIME, BUT EVENTUALLY STALLED OUT ABOUT A MINUTE LATER. I RESTARTED THE CAR AGAIN, AND WAS ABLE TO GET OUT OF THE GAS STATION LOT. ONCE I PULLED UP TO THE LIGHT, THE CAR THEN STALLED OUT. ON A FOURTH RESTART, I MADE SURE TO KEEP THE CAR IN MOTION AS IT SEEMS TO EXPERIENCE SOME SORT OF VAPOR LOCK. WHILE THE CAR DID SPUTTER, I WAS ABLE TO GET TO WORK SAFELY. I ONLY EXPERIENCE THIS ISSUE IF THE CAR IS FULLY GASSED UP. IF I HEAR A HISSING SOUND FROM THE TANK, I KNOW THAT THE CAR IS NOT GOING TO STAY STARTED. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T FROM A DEALERSHIP IN WOODLAND, CA IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE LOT I DROVE APPROX. 20 MILES ON MY WAY HOME THE CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AND IT WILL SUDDENLY JERK AND LOSE ALL POWER FOR A SPLIT SECOND (IF SOMEONE WAS RIDING MY BUMPER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT FOR SURE) AS IT LOST POWER THE RPM GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND JUMPED BACK UP AS IF THE CAR DIED COMPLETELY AND RESTARTED ITSELF, IT CHIMED EVEN AS IF I HAD JUST STARTED THE CAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND SEE ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN MY HOMETOWN AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, SAID IT WAS SPARK PLUGS ETC I ENDED UP SPENDING $550 AND ITS STILL STALLING SOMETIMES UP TO 15-20 TIMES A DAY ITS VERY DANGEROUS UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I CANT AFFORD TO KEEP DISHING MONEY OUT TO DODGE. I SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES AS I'VE SEEN ONLINE VERY MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT THERE'S NO SOLUTION AS FAR AS I CAN FIND! IM KINDA SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THIS BUT ITS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION SO THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO!! ITS DANGEROUS! *TR

AT LEAST THREE TIMES MY 5.7 LITER HEMI HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS ALWAYS STALLED AT LOW SPEEDS (I.E. UNDER 35 MPH) AND SOMETIMES AS SLOW AS 15. EVERY TIME IS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING FROM STOPLIGHT TO STOPLIGHT WITH A LIGHT THROTTLE APPLICATION. IT HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST ONCE AFTER FILLING UP. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED, BUT PROBABLY BETWEEN 6-10 TIMES NOW WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (50-70 MPH) THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD (I.E. TACH, SPEEDOMETER, ENGINE TEMP, AND FUEL GAGE) ALL DIE. WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY ALL SEEM TO LOSE POWER, ALL NEEDLES FALL TO 0, OR THEIR TURNED OFF POSITION, THEN ONCE THEY HIT THE STOPS THEY ALL POWER BACK UP AGAIN, SWING BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, AND THEN EXTINGUISH AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THIS ENTIRE TIME THERE IS NOT CHANGE IN SPEED, OR THE ENGINE, WHEN I AM IN CRUISE CONTROL, THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

AFTER REFUELING STALLED OUT HAS DONE IT MULTIPLE TIMES. HAD ONE TIME WHILE PASSING IT LAGGED THEN WHEN I STOPPED AFTER IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T WITH THE 5.7. AT LEAST ONCE PER DAY (AND OFTEN MUCH MORE OFTEN), DURING ACCELERATION, CAR WILL GO INTO "LIMP" MODE, WHERE THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WILL STOP PRODUCING POWER TO THE WHEELS. ENGINE LIGHT WILL "DING" AND RPM WILL DROP FROM ACCELERATION RPM DOWN TO ABOUT 2000 RPM AND CAUSE THE CAR TO HESITATE, CREATING AN ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON HIGHWAY MERGING. CAR WILL COME BACK ON LINE AFTER ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS, AND RUN NORMALLY. THE MORE I PUSH THE ACCELERATION, THE MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR. ALSO, CAR WILL SIMPLY STALL AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE IN IDLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 30 DAYS AGO, AND REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY, AND THEY DUPLICATED THE ISSUE. THEY THOUGHT IT COULD BE A SHORT, BUT AFTER 3 HOURS LABOR (THEY COVERED THIS COST), DID NOT CORRECT IT. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS, AND ARE NEXT LOOKING INTO A TORQUE CONVERTER POSSIBILITY, AND ALSO LOOKING AT THE THROTTLE BODY. NOT SURE AT THIS TIME IF THEY WILL COME GOOD FOR THE FIX IN THE LONG TERM. THIS STALLING LOSS OF POWER AND GOING INTO "LIMP MODE" SEEMS TO BE EXCESSIVELY COMMON ON THESE CARS, ACCORDING TO BLOGS AND DODGE SITES ONLINE. WHILE THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND GREAT WORK WITH SO FAR, THIS SHOULD FALL ON DODGE ITSELF, NOT THE DEALER, TO MAKE GOOD FOR, AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT AND DANGEROUS ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND DODGE/CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR EVERYONE. *TR

WAS COMING DOWN A HILL WHEN MY ENGINE DIED AND THE DASHBOARD CHIME STARTED RINGING, PLUS THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS VERY LUCKY BEING ABLE TO WRESTLE THE CAR, STILL GOING DOWNHILL WITH NO POWER DRIVING OR POWER BRAKE ASSIST, INTO A 7-11 JUST BEFORE A MAJOR INTERSECTION (FOUR LANES ONE WAY, SIX LANES CROSSWISE). CALLED A TOW TRUCK. HAD BEEN SITTING THERE FOR A HALF HOUR AND ON A LARK WE TRIED TO START IT UP AGAIN--AND IT DID START (IMMEDIATELY AFTER INCIDENT, I COULD NOT START). BUT I WAS UNSURE OF RELIABILITY SO HAD IT TOWED TO SHOP, WHICH COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. DROVE IT AWAY THE NEXT DAY AND DID RESEARCH, AND FOUND MULTIPLE REPORTS IN AN ENTHUSIAST FORUM (CHARGERFORUMS.COM) SAYING THIS ISSUE AFFECTED THEM AFTER THE GAS TANK WAS FILLED. BELIEF IS FLAW IN VALVE LEADING TO EVAP SYSTEM--NO ONE WITH NEW CHARGERS SEEMS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, PERHAPS RESIDE BUILDUP OVER TIME (ONE FORUM MEMBER, AFTER REPLACING TANK, CUT SECTION AWAY WITH VALVE AND REPORTED ACCUMULATED RESIDE ON VALVE). ONLY KNOWN SOLUTION SAID TO BE REPLACEMENT OF GAS TANK (BECAUSE VALVE IS BURIED IN TANK) OR NOT FILLING UP ALL THE WAY. SINCE THEN, I HAVE ONLY FILLED GAS TANK TO 3/4 MARK MOST OF THE TIME. THAT ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR TWO MORE INCIDENTS WHEN I WAS CARELESS AND LET IT FILL CLOSE TO TOTALLY FULL. *EVERYONE* WHO GETS NEW GAS TANK REPORTS THIS PROBLEM AS SOLVED. MILEAGE ABOVE IS APPROXIMATE. *TR

MOST TIMES, AFTER REFUELING THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. IT DOES NOT MATTER IF THE TANK IS EMPTY OR HALF FULL PRIOR TO REFUELING. THE STALLING WILL HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ANY OTHER TIME DURING VEHILCLE OPERATION. THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY, AT INTERSECTIONS AND DURING NORMAL OPERATION WITH NO WARNING AND POTENTIALLY COULD HAVE BEEN VERY HAZARDOUS. I AM AWARE OF THE SITUATION AND NOW WAIT FOR AT LEAST 10 MINUTES AFTER REFUELING BEFORE LEAVING THE GAS STATION. *TR

STALL/DIE/SHUT OFF AFTER FILL UP UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS WHILE IN DRIVE AND IN MOTION. ONLY HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FILL UP. ONCE YOU BURN SOME OF THE FUEL OUT OF THE TANK, IT RETURNS TO NORMAL. *TR

I WAS TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED PROBABLY 20 DIFFERENT TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN MARCH 2009. IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, WHILE EXITING THE INTERSTATE, WHILE TURNING AT INTERSECTIONS AND WHILE DRIVING ON STRAIGHT AWAYS. SEVERAL TIMES HAVE BEEN SOON AFTER REFUELING. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENS SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS NEARLY CAUSED ME TO WRECK THE VEHICLE. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED WAS ON 5/17/2013, I HAD REFUELED THAT MORNING. THAT EVENING IT STALLED TWICE AND I HAD TROUBLE RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED. I'M AFRAID TO HAVE MY KIDS IN THE CAR. *TR

AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER 5.7L THE ENGINE STALLED AS I WAS LEAVING THE STATIONS PARKING LOT AND AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE RAN VERY ROUGH FOR A SHORT WHILE. AFTER ABOUT 2 MILES OF DRIVING EVERYTHING CLEARED UP. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP BECAUSE I THOUGHT MAYBE I HAD GOT BAD GASOLINE BUT EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. I WAS TOLD NOT TO FILL COMPLETELY UP AND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. *TR

CAR WOULD NO START AFTER SITTING FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES COLD STARTS AND SHORT SHORT STARTS, EVEN STALLING WHILE DRIVING. HAVE TAKEN INTO DEALERSHIP AND THEY CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER, THE CAR STALLED WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND THE SPEED WAS APPOXIMATELY 20 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND ONLY AFTER THE TANK HAS BEEN FILLED TO CAPACITY. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE THIS IS A FUEL OVERFLOW SENSOR ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK THAT IS CAUSING THIS. *TR

NOT SURE OF EXACT FIRST DATE OR MILEAGE THIS HAPPENED, BUT AROUND 12/17/12 AND 92,000 MILES I WENT TO GAS STATION AND FILLED TANK, THEN DROVE APPROX 1.5 MILES TOWARDS HOME, AND THEN WHILE GOING ABOUT 25 MPH ON SLIGHT DOWNWARD SLOPE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD VEHICLE STALLED OUT COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I LET CAR SIT OFF FOR FEW MINUTES AND THEN IT RESTARTED, THEN I DROVE LESS THAN 0.5 MILES AND CAR STALLED AGAIN WHEN BACKING INTO GARAGE SO I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTART AND PUSHED CAR INTO GARAGE SINCE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BEFORE ON THIS VEHICLE, OR ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED IN 20 YEARS. THEN SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IN JAN 2013 RIGHT AFTER FILLUP, CAR STALLED WITHIN 100 YARDS OF PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION IN TRAFFIC, BUT WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT RAN ROUGHLY FOR FIRST FEW MINUTES AFTER RESTART. THEN HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MORE TIMES BETWEEN JAN - MARCH AFTER FILLUPS. THEN ON 4/17/13 HAPPENED FEW MINUTES AFTER FILLUP WHILE ON HIGHWAY RAMP AND VEHICLE ALMOST GOT HIT BY CARS COMING BEHIND ME WITH WIFE IN CAR. THAT TIME VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS, BUT LET SIT FOR FEW MINUTES AND THEN APPLIED GAS PEDAL AND STARTED, AND RAN ROUGH AGAIN FOR FEW MINUTES AFTERWARDS THEN SMOOTHED OUT. VERY LUCKY THAT TIME MY WIFE AND I DID NOT GET REAR ENDED BY CARS SPEEDING UP ON RAMP TO GET ON HIGHWAY SINCE HARDLY ANY SHOULDER AREA TO PULL OVER. SINCE THAT INCIDENT I HAVE BEEN FILLING UP TANK USING SLOWEST PUMPING SELECTION TO TRY AND AVOID STA

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER EACH TIME AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

I HAD JUST FILLED MY CAR WITH (93 OCTANE FUEL) AFTER PUTTING THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD ,AS IT IS MY SUMMER VEHICLE. I NEVER FILL PAST FIRST CLICK. I STARTED IT AND IT STARTED IDLING ROUGH 200-300 RPMS AND IT QUIT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO GIVE IT SOME GAS TO GET IT TO GO AGAIN WHICH IT DID,CHALKED IT UP TO COINCIDENCE. I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AND NO SOONER DID I PULL OUT THAN DID IT STALL,NARROWLY MISSED BEING HIT BY A LARGE TRUCK,PUT IN NEUTRAL AND IT RESTARTED. HOWEVER IT DID NOT RUN VERY WELL IT WAS WHAT I CALL BUCKING AND SURGING AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR WAS ALMOST UNRESPONSIVE AS FAR AS THROTTLE CONTROL ABOUT 15- 30 MPH. AS I LEFT THE CITY THE CAR STALLED AGAIN I ROLLED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROADAND POPPED IT INTO NEUTRAL,IT RESTARTED AND IDLED NORMAL AGAIN. I WAS NOW ENTERING THE HIGHWAY TO GO HOME AND MADE IT HOME APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AWAY. THE CAR SEEMED FINE AGAIN. I HAVE LONG HAD A STALLING ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED IN JANUARY OF 2012. I HAVE TAKE CARE OF THIS CAR TO THE UTMOSTSTANDARD WHILE IN MY POSSESSION. THIS CAR IS IMMACULATE AND IS NOT A CLUNKER. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE STALLING ISSUE WHEN MAKING TIGHT TURNS AT PARKING LOT SPEED MOSTLY TO THE LEFT. THE ISSUE LIES IN THE FUEL TANK ITSELF THERE IS A VALVE ON TOP THAT FAILS AND LETS RAW GASOLINE INTO THE EMISSIONS VAPOR SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING! CHRYSLER NATIONWIDE IS GOING THROUGH 43 OF THESE TANKS ON AVE

IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT TIE RODS REPLACED THREE TIME. AT CERTAIN SPEEDS MY VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE. GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS OR INTO EVEN THE SLIGHTEST POT HOLE THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE. WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP THE FRONT END WILL VIBRATE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED MY FRONT TIRES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND/OR ROTATED TO THE BACK DUE TO AN UNUSUAL WEARING ON THE TIRES. THE WEAR WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRES.THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN PARK POSITION AND THERE IT STAYED WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEAR TO ANYTHING AND HAD TO TAKE THE CONSOLE AROUND THE LEVER APART TO SHIFT GEARS. AND THE BRAKES SQUEAK ALL THE TIME EVEN AFTER HAVING THEM REPLACED AND THE ROTORS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE STRUTS. WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING IN IDLE, THE LIGHTS DIMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A SHORTAGE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I LET MY 17YR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVE MY CAR TO SCHOOL AND WHEN SHE GOT TO A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS IS DANGEROUS, SO I DON'T LET HER DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. MY SEATBELT LIGHT STAYS ON & BEEPS WHEN THE SEATBELT IS CONNECTED. THESE ARE ALL SAFETY ISSUES & CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THESE ISSUES NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

THE CARS STALLS AFTER GAS FILLUP. THE CARS STALLS IN TRAFFIC WHILE MOVING THE ENGINE SIMPLY STOPS. USUALLY RESTARTS WHEN TRIED. THE CAR ALSO "BUCKS" WHILE RUNNING AT TIMES ALSO AFTER A FILLUP. DODGE AGREED TO REPLACE MY GAS-TANK OUT OF WARRANTY AS A COURTESY TO ME IN 2012. I HAD TO PAY $100 OF THE REPAIR. I AM FILING THIS TO AID YOU IN TRACING THE DEFECTIVE GAS TANKS AS I HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT THIS IS A LARGE-SPREAD PROBLEM AND HAVE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE WITH IT. MY PROBLEM WAS SOLVED BY THE NEW GAS TANK AND REPLACEMENT OF THE EVAPORATIVE CONTROL SYSTEM VAPOR TANK. I HAVE NO ISSUE AT THIS TIME BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THE UNDERLYING ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT SOME POINT. *TR

NOT LONG AFTER REFUELING THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND WAS HARD TO RESTART AND THEN STALLED 2 MORE TIMES WITHIN MINUTES. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 MORE TIMES AND ALWAYS SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER REFUELING, CAR TENDS TO STALL, OR NOT AXCELARATE PROPERLY. CAUSING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITHOUT POWER.. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED OUT WHILE DRIVING. ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR A LONG TIME NOW. THIS ONLY ACCRUES AFTER FILLING UP ONLY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS ALLOWING TOO MUCH FUEL INTO THE ENGINE WHICH CAUSED IT TO FAIL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,500. *TR UPDATED 7/15/13 *CN THE CONSUMER STATED THERE WAS A MALFUNCTION OF A VALVE ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK, THAT WAS PART OF THE EMISSION SYSTEM.. RAW FUEL ENTERED THE FUEL CANISTER, WHICH MADE THE ENGINE RICH AND STALLED.

AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE THE VEHICLE STALLED MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC. THE RESULTING ISSUE DIDN'T RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT BUT IT WAS CLOSE. AFTER THAT TIME, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AFTER FILLING THE PASSENGER FUEL CHAMBER OVER 60 LITERS. *TR

I FILLED MY GAS TANK TO FULL AND IT HESITATES TO START AND ALSO SHUT OFF ON ME ONCE. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND LOST ALL BELT DRIVEN COMPONENTS AS A RESULT - POWER STEERING, A/C, ETC. THE VEHICLE SUBSEQUENTLY STALLED SEVERAL MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING, AND EXHIBITED LABORED ACCELERATION IN BETWEEN. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT AND HAS BEEN REPEATED EVERY TIME IT WAS REFUELED UNTIL PUMP SHUT OFF SINCE, REGARDLESS OF DIFFERENT GAS STATIONS AND FUELS. *TR

IF I FILL UP MY CAR WITH GAS, IT WILL STALL AND HESITATE. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES IT WILL STOP AND NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL I FILL IT UP AGAIN. IF I DON'T FILL IT ALL THE WAY, IT WONT DO IT. PLEASE FIX IT!!! *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY CAR WITH FUEL AND UPON EXITING THE GAS STATION MY CAR STALLED. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND WENT ON MY WAY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I HAD BEEN AWARE OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH INFORMATION I GLEANED FROM INTERNET FORUMS AND THIS HELPED ME TO NOT PANIC WHEN IT EVENTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME. THIS EVENT HAPPENED IN THE EVENING WITH FAIRLY LIGHT TRAFFIC AND WITH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IN MY FAVOR. HAD THE ROADS BEEN BUSIER AND THE TRAFFIC FLOWING NORTHBOUND AT THE TIME I MAY HAVE BEEN BROADSIDED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED OR ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER TO DATE AS FAR AS I KNOW. *TR

THE CAR WILL STALL WITHIN A MINUTE OR SO OF FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 95% OF THE TIME I FILLED UP THE TANK. IF I FEEL THE STALL COMING ON I CAN THROW IT IN NEUTRAL AND REV THE ENGINE FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AND IT WON'T STALL ANYMORE. I FIRST BEGAN TO NOTICE IT AT LEAST 8 MONTHS AGO. I STOPPED FILLING THE TANK ALL THE WAY JUST TO AVOID THIS BECAUSE IT CAUSED ME TO STALL WHILE GOING THRU AN INTERSECTION AND BACKING UP TRAFFIC. I WAS TOLD I NEEDED TO BUY A NEW GAS TANK TO RECTIFY THIS ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER FUELING THE FUEL TANK MORE THAN HALF FULL, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT NO CAUSE FOR THE FAILURE WAS FOUND. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 6/4/13 *CN

2006 DODGE CHARGER RT (5.7 HEMI) STALLS SUDDENLY WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. I PLACED CAR QUICKLY IN NEUTRAL AND TRIED RESTARTING TWICE BEFORE CAR STARTED AGAIN. IT IS VERY SCARY NOW TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ISSUE CONTINUES TO HAPPEN FREQUENTLY. I NOTICED THAT IT USUALLY HAPPENS ESPECIALLY AFTER FILLING UP GAS. *TR

I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ON YAHOO STATING AN INVESTIGATION IN THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER ENGINE STALLING. FOR 2 YEARS I HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS INADVERTENT BUT DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING INTERSTATE SPEEDS. THE ENGINE WOULD STALL OUT, ALMOST LIKE YOU TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THEN BACK ON. IT ALMOST COST ME A WRECK ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WOULD ALSO DO IT AT IDLE SPEEDS BUT AT THAT RPM IT WOULD KILL THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT. WHEN IT FINALLY GOT WORSE, I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED NEW PLUGS. I CHANGED THEM AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN THEY CHANGED ALL 8 COILS AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. FINALLY AS A LAST RESORT THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS WHOLE PROCESS COST ME ABOUT $4,000. A MONTH AND A HALF LATER THE TRANSMISSION STARTED DRAGGING AND NOT SHIFTING PROPERLY, SO INSTEAD OF GOING THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS AGAIN I DECIDED TO GET RID OF THE CAR. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE ENGINE STALLS AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART. IT WILL DO THIS UNTIL THE TANK IS NOT COMPLETELY FULL. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT WITH THE 5.7L ENGINE STALLS INTERMITTENTLY. THIS IS ESPECIALLY TRUE AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK OR ON COLD/COOL MORNINGS. THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED AT LOW SPEEDS BELOW 35 MPH. FORCING ME TO ROLL TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RE-START IT, WHICH IT DOES. HOWEVER, NOW AT HIGHER SPEEDS (65MPH) THE ENGINE WILL STUTTER MOMENTARILY. THE RPM GAGE WILL SHOW THE ENGINE AT NEAR ZERO AND THEN JUMP BACK TO NORMAL, SHUDDERING THE CAR. SEARCHING THE DODGE CHARGER WEBSITES I HAVE LEARNED THIS MAY BE RELATED TO A VENT ON THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK WHICH FAILS. THE FUEL FLOW SENSOR ON THE ENGINE DETECTS THIS AS OVER-PRESSURE AND TURNS THE ENGINE OFF FOR SAFETY. I HAVE SPOKE TO MY DEALER ABOUT THIS AND THEY STATED THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY ISSUES. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE IT IN FRONT OF THEM, AS I SAID IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. I FEAR THAT THE STALLING MAY FINALLY HAPPEN AT FREEWAY SPEEDS FORCING ME TO LOSE POWER WHEN I NEED IT MOST! *TR

MY DODGE CHARGER WILL SHUT OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I'VE SPENT MONEY GOING TO MECHANICS AND THE DEALERSHIP AND NO ONE KNOWS WHETS CAUSING IT. THE DEALERSHIP MADE ME SOUND AS IF I WAS LIEING OR CRAZY. IT WASN'T UNTIL MY BOSS TOLD ME TODAY HE SAW IT ON THE NEWS TODAY (I'VE BEEN COMPLAINING ABOUT IT FOR MONTHS NOW) I DECIDED TO FILE A COMPLAINT TO LET YOU KNOW IT IS HAPPENING TO MY CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE TO RESOLVE THE FAILURE MOMENTARILY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, WHO STATED THERE WAS A CHARCOAL CANISTER IN THE FUEL SYSTEM THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,005. UPDATED 7/10/13 *CN

ON JULY 4TH 2009, AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T (5.7L HEMI WITH APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MILES), IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH. IT RAN/IDLED ROUGH WHEN RESTARTED. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, IT REPEATS THE STALLING ISSUE RANDOMLY AFTER REFUELING AND HAS CONTINUED UNTIL CURRENT DAY (5/14/2013). IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THAT PUT MY LIFE, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS IN DANGER, BUT USUALLY STALLS WHEN STOPPING AT STOP/YIELD SIGNS. AFTER REFUELING, IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO TRY AND MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY UNLESS I CIRCLE TOWN ON LOW SPEED CITY ROADS UNTIL THE CAR STALLS OR I FEEL IT WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE AT THE TIME - THIS IS A GROSS WASTE OF FUEL THAT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY BUT UNDER CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES, IT IS. THROUGH MY OWN INVESTIGATION THRU ON-LINE SOURCES AND MEMBERS WITHIN MY LOCAL CAR CLUB, I HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE TO LIKELY BE A FAULTY ROLL-OVER VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL TANK, WHICH IS NON-SERVICEABLE AND REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK (ABOUT $750~900 FOR PARTS AND 3~6 HOURS OF LABOR). *TR

VEHICLE ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN ON GOING TRAFFIC MANY TIMES MOST TIMES AFTER REFUELING HAVING A HARD TIME TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. *TR

I HAD SOME ISSUES WITH MY CAR STALLING AND GETTING STUCK IN GEAR, I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC TO CHANGE THE STRAINER WHICH WAS SUPPOSED TO BE DONE THERE AT HIS SHOP ALONG WITH SOME BODY WORK. AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK I DROVE IT MAYBE 2 DAYS BEFORE IT COMPLETELY JUST STOPPED GOING INTO GEAR. I CAN CRANK IT UP BUT THE CAR WILL NOT BUDGE. NOW TODAY 5/12/2013 MY BROTHER SHOWED ME A BUTTON THAT IS IN THE GEAR SHIFT THAT YOU CAN PUSH TO GET IT OUT OF GEAR. SO I GUESS THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE BUTTON THAT IS SUPPOSED TO PUSHED THIS IN WHEN YOU PUSH THE BRAKES DOWN IS NO LONGER WORKING. I WAS THINKING TRANSMISSION AND THAT IS NOT MY PROBLEM. *TR

IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT TIE RODS REPLACED THREE TIME. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 60MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT WITH NO WARNING CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE ALL POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MY CAR WAS NEARLY HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHER CARS AS I TRIED TO CHANGE LANES IN ORDER TO REACH THE EMERGENCY LANE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. I RESTARTED THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE CAR ENGINE HAS QUIT FOR NO REASON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES WITH NO WARNING IN THE LAST YEAR WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS ISSUE A RECALL, OR BE LIABLE FOR ANY LAWSUITS RESULTING FROM ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEMS IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR

TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR TUNE-UP;AND TRANSMISSION SERVICE ON MARCH13, 2013; ON APRIL 17, 2013 THE CAR TOTALLY SHUTDOWN AS I TURNED INTO THE GAS STATION. I GOT IT STARTED, IT JERKED AS IF IT WAS CHOKING,I MANAGED TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN,JUST BEFORE I MADE IT UP TO THE SERVICE LANE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING, WHICH I HAD REPAIRED,ALSO THAT AN UPDATED MEMORY CHIP SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN MARCH,SO THAT WAS DONE. PICKUP MY CAR ON APRIL 18, 2013 AND WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS ABOUT TO CUTOFF. I PUT IN PARK WHILE AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND PRESSED ON THE GAS TO RAISE THE ENGINE;AS I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, IT STALLED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP,THEY INITIALLY SAID THERE WAS A COIL THAT WAS MISFIRING BUT THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE COULD NOT DETECT IT. I PICKED MY CAR UP ON APRIL 25, 2013 ONLY TO HAVE SOMETHING ELECTRICALLY DRAINING MY BATTERY DOWN TO 4 OR 5 VOLTS EVERY OTHER DAY. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, TECHNICIAN SAID THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY,ALTERNATOR NOR ANY OF ELECTRICAL PARTS. I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR PRIOR TO HAVING THE ABOVE SERVICES DONE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY AFTER A NEW SOFTWARE CHIP HAS BEEN INSTALLED. PERHAPS THIS AND OTHER ISSUES NEED TO REALLY BE ADDRESSED WITH CHRYSLER. *TR

THE CAR HAS BEEN OPERATING JUST FINE. ON THE DATE OF INCIDENT, I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION TO REFUEL, SHUT THE CAR OFF, FILLED THE CAR APPROX. TO 3/4 TANK. I STARTED THE CAR, IT RAN ROUGH THEN DIED. I COULD NOT START IT AGAIN. I TOWED IT TO A MECHANIC FRIEND AND HE LOOKED AT IT. AFTER MUCH INVESTIGATION HE FOUND THAT THE SPARK PLUGS IN CYL. 6 HAD BEEN HIT BY THE PISTON AND BENT THE SPARK PLUG ELECTRODES CLOSED. HE REGAPPED THEM, RE-INSTALLED THEM, STARTED THE ENGINE, SAME RESULT. THIS IS THE 5.7L HEMI V8. *TR
