2006 Dodge Charger complaints

MY VEHICLE STALLS AFTER I FUEL IT. I GOOGLED IT AND SAW THAT SIMILAR CHARGERS (2006 RTS WITH 5.7 LITER ENGINES) WERE PART OF A RECALL. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER AND THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIFETIME REPLACEMENT /FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS 'VIN SPECIFIC'. MY CAR DOES ALL OF THE SAME THINGS THAT THE RECALLED VEHICLES DO - IT STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS RIGHT AFTER I FUEL IT. IT DOES NOT STALL/DIE AT HIGH SPEEDS, BUT INSTEAD 'SPUTTERS'. IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 20 MILES AFTER FUELING FOR THE STALLING/ 'DYING' TO STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT WAS GETTING A JUMPSTART TO THE VEHICLE AND AS HE WAS UNPLUGGING THE JUMPER CABLES, HE NOTICED THAT THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE ON THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE AND A FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.

EVERY TIME I FILL MY CAR UP WITH GAS AND DRIVE OFF FROM THE GAS STATION INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I ALMOST GOT HIT IN THE SIDE JUST YESTERDAY. I GOT ONLINE AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANKS ON THESE CARS THAT CAUSE THEM TO STALL AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THEM.

OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR STARTED STALLING ON ME, TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, CLEANED GROUND WIRES, CHANGED O2 SENSOR, CLEANED THROTTLE BODY EVERYTHING LOOKS AND SOUNDS GOOD, BUT THE CAR STALLS, WHILE I'M DRIVING, AS WELL AS AT A STOP, SOMETIMES IT COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND I LOOSE ALL CONTROL INCLUDING POWER STEERING, AND SOMETIMES JUST CUTS OFF FOR HALF A SECOND AND TURNS ITSELF BACK ON, IV SEEN A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT THE GAS TANK OVERFILLING PROBLEM, AS WELL AS A IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS, I CALLED THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T ADDRESS IT SINCE MY VIN ISN'T REPORTED FOR THOSE RECALLS. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE RIGHT NOW AND I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT THERE'S REPORTS OF MANUFACTURER FAULTS.

PURCHASED VEHICLE AS IS ON 03/16/2021 AT DATE OF PURCHASE VEHICLE HAD ALMOST 200,000 MILES ON IT IT NEEDED FRONT END LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND BUSHINGS REPLACEMENT ON BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDES THE AIR CONDITIONING DIDN'T WORK DUE TO THE AC COMPRESSOR BEING NO GOOD SO THE COMPRESSOR HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL THE DRIVER SIDE WINDOW WOULDN'T GO DOWN REGULATOR. HAD TO BE BROUGHT AND REPLACED AS WELL ALSO AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE IN WHICH VEHICLE WAS SOLD AS IS WITH A MALFUNCTIONING SEATBELT ISSUE IN WHICH THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEATBELT WAS FASTENED AND WILL NOT UNFASTEN THE PASSENGER SIDE SEATBELT WORKS HOWEVER THE CARS SENSOR BEEPS AND FLASHES INDICATING THAT SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT WITHOUT THEIR SEATBELT ON EVEN WITH THE SEATBELT BEING FASTENED WITHOUT AN ACTUAL BODY OR WEIGHT BEING IN THE SEAT AT ALL.... SINCE COMPRESSOR HAS BEEN REPLACED CAR HAS STARTED RUNNING HOT COOLANT AND WATER HAS TO CURRENTLY BE ADDED JUST FOR REGULAR DAILY USE

FILLED GAS TANK, DID NOT TOP OFF. LEFT PARKING LOT AND THE CAR DIED GOING DOWN THE ROAD. HAPPENED 3 TIMES THAT DAY. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER 2020, DIDN'T KNOW YOU HAD COMPLAINT LINE. THIS LEFT ME WITH NO STEERING OR BRAKES. IT HAS NOW GOTTEN TO THE POINT OF THE CAR WON'T EVEN START NOW. I AM AFRAID THAT DAMAGE FROM THIS ISSUE HAS 'TAKEN' MY CAR, AS IT WILL NO LONGER START. WE UPKEEP OUR VEHICLES WITH REGULAR MAINTENANCE.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK I CAN DRIVE A FEW BLOCKS AND I'D SPUTTERS AND DIES THE FUEL PUMPS ARE FAIRLY NEW. IT STARTS BACK UP AND IT SPUTTERS. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE FILL THE TANK.IT HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS DETECTED SMOKE FROM THE HOOD. THE DRIVER PULLED OVER, AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NO REPORTED INJURIES. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CONTACT'S RESIDENT. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IT WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON WITH OUT HAVING TO RESTART IT. IT'S LIKE IF YOU WERE TO TURN A LIGHT SWITCH ON AND THEN OFF AGAIN, IT'S THAT QUICK. I'M TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN, THE LIGHTS THE RADIO THE GAUGES EVERYTHING AND THEN SOMETIMES IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. THERE HAS BEEN SOME OCCASIONS WHERE IT DOESN'T COME BACK ON THO.

CAR SHUT OFF AFTER FILL UP

VEHICLE ORIGINAL KEYS WILL ENABLE/DISABLE ALARM, UNLOCK THE DOORS BUT WILL NOT START ENGINE DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE (SKREEM) SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY MODULE INTERNAL AND SKIM. WHEN THE WEATHER BECOMES COLD, THE SKIM MALFUNCTIONS WORST MAKING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. B1A28 ECM MISMATCH WITH SKIM B1A35 UNIDENTIFIED KEY COMMUNICATION ERROR B2224 (SKREEM) SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY MODULE INTERNAL P0513 INVALID SKIM KEY

2006 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA R/T RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GETS PRODUCED. IN THAT SPLIT SECOND THAT IT SHUTS OFF, THE CAR LOSES POWER COMPLETELY AND NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MOST SOURCES POINT TO A FAULTY GAS TANK THAT HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY NOW BUT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AT LOW SPEED, STOP SIGN, LIGHT, ETC. IM VERY CAUTIOUS WHEN I TURN ONTO TRAFFIC FOR FEAR OF CAR STALLING AND ME GETTING HIT. HAD IT TO NUMEROUS MECHANICS AND NO ONE CAN PIN POINT IT. USUALLY STALLS OUT 5-10 TIMES ON WAY TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY. I LIVE ABOUT 4 MILES FROM MY JOB.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEEN HESITATING AND DYING IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP MY FUEL TANK, EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AS OF THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I'VE READ IN MULTIPLE ONLINE DODGE FORUMS THAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH A FAULTY 'EVAPORATION VALVE' IN THE FUEL TANK AND THAT THERE ARE MANY 2006 DODGE OWNERS WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER & THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT TAKEN OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM CREATED BY THEIR DESIGN & CREATED A RECALL OF THE GAS TANK OR 'EVAPORATION VALVE'. I WAS DIRECTED TO THIS WEBSITE TO NOTIFY YOU OF THIS PROBLEM IN HOPES OF ALERTING DODGE OF THE ISSUE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IN THE EVENT THAT THIS HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC OR WHILE TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE MAY EASILY BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE, AS ALL POWER STEERING & POWER BRAKES ARE RENDERED USELESS.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT V8 5.7 KEEP STALLING AFTER I PUT GAS IN AND SHUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING AND WHEN I PULL OVER AND IT START RIGHT BACK UP I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY BECAUSE IT DONE THAT MULTIPLE TIMES ON MY WAY TO WORK AND AFTER WORK

AND MY CAR WOULDN'T CRANK OVER AND I HEARD A KNOCKING NOISE EACH TIME THE ENGINE TRIED TO TURN OVER. MY CAR WAS WELL TAKING CARE OF WHY WOULD MY ENGINE FAIL BEEN READING AND IT APPEARS THESE TYPE OF CAR BEEN HAVING THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS. PLEASE INVESTIGATE. I'M CARLESS NOW

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN STALLING AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK. THIS IS VERY DANGER AS IT STOPS SOMETIMES ON A BUSY ROAD. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL ASAP! I HAVE LOOKED UP FORUMS AND THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF 2006 CHARGERS. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS WHEN SLOWING TO STOP OR TURN, ONLY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. THE STALLING PERSISTS, AND HAS LEFT ME IN DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, UNTIL ENOUGH FUEL IS USED. FROM 3/4 FULL AND LOWER THERE IS NO STALLING WHATSOEVER.

WE WHERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAJUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

CAR STALLS AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND OIL LIGHT COMES ON. ONLY HAPPENS AFTER I PUT ANY GAS IN THE CAR I DO NOT FILL IT! I WAS CROSSING A INTERSECTION AND MY CAR DIED THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP COMPLETELY AND THE OIL LIGHT STARTED FLASHING. I HAD TO ROLL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD!!!!!!!!!

FOR THE LAST SEVERAL MONTHS I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT STALLING AND CUTTING WHILE DRIVING OR IDLING WHILE STOPPED. THIS HAPPENS ONLY AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK. RECENTLY IT HAPPENED WHILE TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION AND I HAD TO QUICKLY STEER INTO A BUSINESS PARKING LOT TO GET OUT OF TRAFFIC.

EACH TIME I REFUEL MY VEHICLE THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENS WITH ANY AMOUNT OF GAS I PUT INTO THE TANK. THE VEHICLE STALLING AFTER REFUELING HAS OCCURRED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS RANGING FROM 0MPH AT A COMPLETE STOP UP TO 50MPH

AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE STALLED IN MOTION ON A HIGHWAY

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET I STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR ACCELERATED ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT ME PUSHING ON THE GAS/ACCELERATOR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER IS STALLING ON ME EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD,

HEADLIGHTS AND DASH RANDOMLY FLICKER AND SHUT OFF WHILE CAR IS ON AND WHILE DRIVING. TESTING INDICATES THE PROBLEM IS IN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OR WIRING TO THE SWITCH. WHEN HEADLIGHT SWITCH REMOVED, HEADLIGHTS ARE IN ALWAYS ON MODE, AND THERE IS NO FLICKERING OR SHUTTING OFF. HEADLIGHT SWITCH MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL FLICKERS WITH NEW SWITCH/KNOB. DEALER UNABLE TO FIND AND FIX ISSUE DUE TO INTERMITTENT NATURE OF PROBLEM. SEVERE PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AND NIGHT AND LIGHTS TURN OFF. PROBLEM ALSO IS IRRITATING AS IT LOOKS LIKE I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT OTHER VEHICLES.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY LIGHTS TURNED OFF MY HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS HAD TO HOLD MY BRIGHTS ON BECAUSE THEY WOULDNT STAY ON BY THEMSELVES, MY DASH SPEEDOMETERS HAD KEPT GOING UP AND DOWN AS IF MY CAR WAS DYING ALMOST HIT A DEER DUE TO NO HEADLIGHTS AND DRIVING AT NIGHT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING AT 80 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE THE ABS AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD BECOME DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE HE WAS INFORMED THAT THE BRAKES WERE DEFECTIVE. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT LINKED NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V149000 (SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC) WITH THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE TO CHAMPION CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (563 N GRAND AVE, NOGALES, AZ 85621) WHERE THEY DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE WITH A FAULTY BRAKE LIGHT SWITCH; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE STALLS AND DIES 6-8 TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING TANK WITH FUEL. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME I FILL IT. PURCHASED CAR ON 7/27/2019. RECALL ON AIRBAGS ACTUATOR WAS REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP BUT IS NOT SHOWING AS DOCUMENTED ON YOUR WEBSITE.

CAR STALLS AFTER FILL UP. PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND YOU LOSE STEERING BREAKS ECT. NEED TO PUT IN PARK TO RESTART. WILL CONTINUE AND MISS AND STALL FOR ABOUT 5 MILES. ONCE YOU RUN SOME FUEL OUT OF THE CAR IT RUNS EXCEPTIONAL UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP.

THE FIRST TIME MY MOTOR FAILED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 70MPH AND SOMEONE CUT ME OFF I HIT THE BRAKES GOOD ENOUGH TO BARELY AVOID THEM CRASHING INTO ME , WHEN I TRIED TO PUSH THE THROTTLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE MOTOR STARTED JUMPING BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT WANTED TO JUMP OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY , TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID TWO OF MY CYLINDERS WERE ONLY RUNNING AT HALF THE COMPRESSION MEANING I HAD A VALVE ISSUE LIKE THESE CARS ARE WELL KNOWN TO HAVE NOW. WELL $5,000 LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM DODGE WITH ONE HEAD REPLACED , JUST ABOUT 60K MILES LATER THE OTHER HEAD FAILED ON ME AND TRAVELED INTO MY OTHER HEAD DESTROYING THAT ONE AND MY PISTONS , JUST SPENT $9,000 TO HAVE THE MOTOR REPLACED AND NOT EVEN A 1,000 MILES LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE . THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE I STILL OWE MONEY ON THE CAR AND I'VE SPENT UPWARDS OF $14,000 TO KEEP THIS CAR RUNNING . IT'S LEFT ME WITH NO WAY TO GET ME TO WORK IT'S LEFT ME STRANDED I'VE LOST A JOB BECAUSE I COULDN'T BE THERE I'VE MISSED OUT ON OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS CAR I'M 23 YEARS OLD AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON 4 YEARS NOW . I MAKE MINIMUM WAGE WORK 50HRS A WEEK THIS CAR HAS TAKEN A YEARS WORTH OF SALARY FROM ME AND MADE MY LIFE SO STRESSFUL I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH , THIS HAS MADE MY LIFE VERY DIFFICULT IN THESE PAST 4 YEARS ... THE CAR IS CURRENTLY DOWN BECAUSE CYLINDER #2 ONLY HAS ABOUT 90PSI AND I DON'T KNOW WHY TO DO ANYMORE ... I HAVE NO CAR I WALK OR TAKE THE BUS TO WORK EVERYDAY I CAN NOT DO THIS MUCH

BOUGHT THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WE FILLED WITH GAS A COUPLE MILES FROM THE DEALER. WHEN LEAVING THE GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY, THE OTHER DRIVERS AVOIDED HITTING US UNTIL WE GOT IT RESTARTED. THEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE CAR AGAIN STARTED BUCKING AND CHOKING. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT CONCERNS ME GREATLY!

I TOOK MY 06 CHARGER IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL AND WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER MY CAR SHUT OFF AT EVERY LIGHTS AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF GOING 40 50 MILES AN HOUR. IT CONTINUES TO DO THAT MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT SO MANY OF THE 6TH GENERATION DODGE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY A PROBLEM THAT CAUSES YOU TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IS NOT ADDRESSED. FIRST IT START TELLING ME THAT IT WAS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEM, THEN IT'S NOW TELLING ME THAT IS A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE AND THE ECM. THIS HAPPENED EXACTLY ONE MINUTE AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER GETTING MY AIRBAGS RECALLED. IT STALLS AT WHEN STATIONARY, WHEN MOVING, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, AND EVERY COUPLE MINUTES. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING ADDRESSED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED UP COMPLETELY. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH NO FURTHER ISSUES. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER INFORMED THE CONTACT TO CALL NHTSA. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILUIRE MILEAGE WAS 64,000.

I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS. FIRST WHILE DRIVING ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON THEN GO RIGHT OFF. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS MY CAR WILL TURN OVER AND SOMETIMES START BUT DIE IMMEDIATELY. ONCE I GET IT STARTED IT WILL GO FINE FOR A WHILE BEFORE DOING IT AGAIN. BY THE LOOKS OF MY RESEARCH BOTH PROBLEMS ARE PRETTY COMMON IN 2006 CHARGERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO START THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD WAS MELTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HIS RESIDENCE AND THEN TOWED TO WARSAW BUICK-GMC (LOCATED AT 2777 N DETROIT ST, WARSAW, IN 46582, (574) 306-0508). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE CYLINDER HEAD AND PISTON NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,081. *PM *TP

AFTER REFUELING THE CAR STALLS AFTER MOVING MAYBE 20 FEET. IT TAKES A WHILE TO START BACK UP BUT STALLS AGAIN WHILE MOVING ON THE HIGHWAY/ROAD.

CAR WILL RUN FINE ONE DAY NEXT DAY IT WON'T, CAR CUTS OFF WHEN STOPPING AN STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. CAR JERKS WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL TOO HARD, GAS ODORS COMING FROM MUFFLER.

PCM SHUTS DOWN BRIEFLY WITHOUT WARNING AT SEEMINGLY RANDOM TIMES, ALTHOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STATIONARY SUCH AS AT A STOPLIGHT. SOMETIMES THE OUTRAGE IS EXTREMELY SHORT AND THERE IS A DING FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, SOMETIMES IT IS LONGER WITH ONE OR MORE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE BRIEFLY INCLUDING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE, AND SOMETIMES THE CEL WILL ILLUMINATE. OUTAGE NEVER SEEMS TO LAST MORE THAN A FRACTION OF A SECOND. IF THE CEL COMES ON THE CODE IS U0100 LOST COMM. W/PCM. IF SPEED IS ABOVE ABOUT 15 MPH THE ENGINE DOESN'T ACTUALLY STOP, THERE'S JUST A BIG JOLT, AS IF THEY HEY HAD BEEN TURNED OFF AND THEN RAPIDLY BACK ON. AT SLOWER SPEEDS THE ENGINE STOPS AND MUST BE RESTARTED WITH THE KEY. THIS HAS RESULTED IN NEAR ACCIDENTS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY STOPPING. DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK, AT FIRST COULDN'T DUPLICATE BUT WHEN IT DID HAPPEN THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TCM AND CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER (WHICH WERE DUE ANYWAY) AND REPLACED THE BATTERY FOR LACK OF ANY BETTER IDEAS. THIS PROBLEM CAN GO A WEEK OR TWO WITHOUT HAPPENING OR HAPPEN 10 TIMES IN 3 DAYS. I ADDED A RECORDING VOLTMETER TO MONITOR KEY VOLTAGES IN AND OUT OF THE PCM (MEASURED AND RECORDED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES PER SECOND) AND THIS SHOWED THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE IS THE AUTO SHUTDOWN RELAY CONTROL VOLTAGE OUT OF THE PCM GOING TO ZERO WHILE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE AND KEYSWITCH 'RUN' VOLTAGES BOTH REMAINED HIGH(~14.2 VOLTS). I

TURNING ONTO ON-RAMP OF A HIGHWAY I WAS MOVING ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE DIED AND I LOST POWER STEERING. ADDITIONALLY, I FELT A VERY TOUGH TRANSMISSION SHIFT 2-3 SECONDS BEFORE I LOST POWER STEERING AND WHEN THE ENGINE DIED. THE CAR TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO TURN OVER. A VERY LOUD WHIRRING NOISE BEGAN IN THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION AREA AND IS YET TO STOP.
