2006 Dodge Charger complaints

GAS TANK EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY. MY CAR STALLS AFTER REFILLING GAS TANK.IT DIES AT IDLE.IT DIES WHEN MOVING! IT IS VERY DANGERIOUS SITUATION!!

ENGINE STALL AFTER FILLING GAS TANK UP AND STARTING TO DRIVE VEHICLE ON ROADWAY

ON FEB 25TH I PUT GAS IN MY VEHICLE, LATER THAT DAY I NOTICED A HIGH GASOLINE SCENT FROM MY CAR. IE; 10 DAYS PRIOR I HAD MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT MY LOCAL ARRIGO DODGE DEALERSHIP. I WAITED UNTIL THE NEXT TO SEE IF THE SMELL HAD GONE AWAY, ASSUMING I HAD PUT BAD GAS IN MY CAR. THE NEXT DAY BEFORE I COULD OPEN MY CAR DOORS I COULD SMELL THE GASOLINE FROM STANDING OUTSIDE MY CAR. STILL ASSUMING I HAD BAD GAS I DECIDED TO DRIVE OUT AS MUCH OF THE GAS AS POSSIBLE. WHEN I REALIZED THE SMELL WOULD NOT GO AWAY, I WENT ONLINE AND DID SOME RESEARCH, WHICH LEAD TO THIS BEING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE DODGE VEHICLES, I WATCHED MULTIPLE VIDEOS AND READ MULTIPLE COMMENTS. ON FEB 27TH I FOLLOWED SOME STEPS FROM VIDEOS. I TOOK MY BACK SEAT OUT LIFTED THE GUARD AND PULLED OF THE FUEL PUMP COVER, AND LOW AND BEHOLD THERE WAS GAS. THIS IS A FIRE HAZARD. I DRIVE MY MOTHER AND MY DAUGHTER IN MY CAR, ANYTHING COULD HAVE HAPPENED. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE ON FEB 28TH TO REPORT THE PROBLEM TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL, SEEING THAT I WAS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND COMPLAINT. DODGE WAS NOT MUCH HELP. THIS PROBLEM THAT DODGE IGNORES HAS COST ME EMOTIONAL DISTRESS AND MORE MONEY THAN I EXPECT TO SPEND TO FIX. DODGE SHOWS NO INTEREST OR CARE IN THIS CASE AS THIS BEING A HAZARD. I AM COMPLETELY DISAPPOINTED IN THE WAY DODGE IS DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE. THE REPRESENTATIVE THAT I SPOKE WITH DID NOT GIVE ME ANY FOR OF EASE OR COMFORT OR OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE ON HOW THIS CAN BE FIXED. WHILE IT MA

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK AND PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR STALLS WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS CONSIDERING CARS APPROACHING OR FOLLOWING YOU COULD CRASH INTO YOU . THIS HAPPENS EACH TIME I FUEL UP.

THE LAST TIME I FILLED UP MY CAR, IT KEPT STALLING AND I WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE IN TRAFFIC WITH MY CHILDREN IN CAR. NOT VERY SAFE FEELING. SCARED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT WITH FAMILY IN CAR. IT WOULD START UP BUT IT WOULD KEEP STALLING UNTIL I RAN A FEW GALLONS OUT OF IT. I FILLED IT UP AGAIN TODAY AND NOTICED A SUCKING NOISE COMING FROM GAS TANK. IT STARTED UP THEN STALLED AS I TOOK OFF. SO I PULLED OVER AND KEPT STARTING IT UP EVERY TIME IT STALLED. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF NOT STALLING I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IN GARAGE. IT WOULD STALL GOING STRAIGHT AND TURNING.

TWO RECALLS FOR THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAGS; HOWEVER, NO PARTS ARE AVAILABLE TO REPAIR. DEALER CANNOT PROVIDE ANY DATE OR TIME FRAME WHEN PARTS WILL BE AVAILABLE.

DROVE THE CAR TO GET A CAR WASH. CAR WENT THROUGH THE CLEANING PROCESS AND THEY WERE GOING TO START TO THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START. HAD TO HAVE IT PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING, AFTER A WHILE THE CAR STARTED BUT IDLED VERY ROUGH AND BLUEISH SMOKE WAS COMING OUT OF THE EXHAUST PIPES. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID IT'S A BLOWN HEAD GASKET ALONG WITH VALVES DROPPING INTO THE CYLINDER CAUSING ENGINE FAILURE. NO PRE WARNING AND I WAS VERY RELIGIOUS WITH MAINTENANCE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE FIXED BY DODGE. NOW I NEED TO BUY A NEW CAR.

AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK THE VEHICLE WOULD SPUTTER AND STALL AT STOP LIGHT. ALTHOUGH IT WOULD RESTART IT CONTINUES THIS PATTERN OF STALLING AT STREETLIGHTS OR COMING TO A STOP.

ENGINE STALLS SEVERAL TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU LOOSE STEERING AND POWER BRAKES IN TRAFFIC. THE DODGE DEALER SAYS THAT IT DOES THIS BECAUSE THERE IS GASOLINE IN THE VAPOR CANISTER. I BELIEVE THIS IS BECAUSE SOMETHING IN THE FUEL TANK IS CAUSING FUEL TO GET INTO THE CANISTER WHERE IT DOES NOT BELONG. CHANGING THE CANISTER IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I'M AFRAID TO BUY ANOTHER DODGE OR CHRYSLER.

THE DEALER SAYS THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE,,,, I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR,,, I HAVE TO TAKE MY ELDER PARENTS TO DOCTOR .....I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR OVER A YEAR!

BOTH FRONT WHEES HAVE FALLEN OFF DUE TO FAULTY SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL FELL OFF WHILE AT INTERSTATE SPEED WHEN THE TOP BALL JOINT FAILED. LUCKILY IT FELL INWARD. THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL FELL OFF WHEN IT WAS PUT UP ON THE RACK AT THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP. AGAIN, THE UPPER BALL JOINT FAILED.

MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON 01/13/17 AS I WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION (AFTER REFUELING). I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A BLESSING AS I WAS ABLE TO MERGE INTO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER READING ABOUT SIMILAR CASES ONLINE, I FOUND THIS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE IN THE 06 CHARGERS / CHRYSLER MODELS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL YET ?? *TR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER COMPLETELY DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ALONE ON A CITY ROAD BUT LOST ALL CONTROL AND FELT I WAS BARLEY BRAKING AND STEERING WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. I WAS ABLE TURN EVERYTHING OFF IN THE CAR AND RESTART BUT IT HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. AT ONE POINT WHILE TURNING LEFT ON A HIGHWAY IT DIED; I WAS ALMOST TO A POINT TO HITTING OTHER CARS TURNING LEFT IN SAME DIRECTION AND OTHERS BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 4 MILES TODAY WITHOUT INCIDENT HOWEVER AFTER RESEARCHING THIS EXACT ISSUE AMONG OTHER CHARGER OWNERS I SEARCHED FOR A RECALL AND NOTHING HAS BEEN SAID BY DODGE. THIS ISSUE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE FROM PERSONAL ACTIONS BUT A FLAW IN A SYSTEM ON THIS MAKE/MODEL. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE BEFORE A FEW YEARS AGO HOWEVER I READ SOMETHING ABOUT A GAS CAP AND FELT IT WAS ISOLATED. AFTER LAST NIGHT AND READING BLOGS TODAY I SEE THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND NOT CAUSED BY NOT MAINTAINING A VEHICLE OR BAD DRIVING. THIS IS AN ISSUE IN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN ANY OTHER DRIVING SETTING DURING RUSH HOUR SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I NOTIFIED DODGE AND REPORTED THE ISSUE BY THEY SAID I WOULD NOT BE CONTACTED AND TO KEEP RECEIPTS IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG IN CASE THEY DO RECALL SOMETHING. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN CORRECTED AFTER ALL THESE REPORTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE TO THIS MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES? *TR

TAKATA RECALL PARTS STILL NOT AVAILABLE FROM JULY 2016 AND WE CAN'T USE THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT SINCE THEN. I NEED TO BE ABLE TO FULLY USE ALL SEATS IN THIS CAR TO DRIVE WITH ENTIRE FAMILY.

2006 DODGE CHARGER HAS A KNOWN ISSUE INVOLVING VEHICLE STALLING IF THE GAS TANK IS FILLED. DODGE NEGOTIATED A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT IN LIEU OF A RECALL. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS WARRANTY. MY FUEL PUMP HAS FAILED DUE TO CHRONICALLY RUNNING HOT DUE TO INABILITY TO FILL THE GAS TANK. THE FUEL PUMP DESIGN DEPENDS ON THE COOLER TEMPERATURE OF THE GASOLINE IN THE TANK TO KEEP IT COOLED. IN OTHER WORDS, NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP ADEQUATE GAS TANK LEVELS HAS DIRECTLY LED TO FUEL PUMP OVERHEATING AND FAILURE. DODGE WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF FUEL PUMP REPAIR BUT WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK THAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AT. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION THAT I HAD A RECALL ON MY AIRBAGS - I WILL BE LOOKING INTO THIS SHORTLY -- ALSO, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, MY ENGINE STALLS AFTER I REFUEL -- THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT APPARENTLY IT HAPPENS A LOT AS I DID SEE THAT THERE WAS AN INQUIRY INTO THIS -- THIS JUST STARTED TO HAPPEN TO MY CAR IN THE LAST 2 YEARS AND SO THEREFORE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER KEEP STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT GETTING TO READY TO TURN AND THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. THANKFUL IT WAS A TURN SIGNAL OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE CAR JUST STALLS THEN - YOU CAN WAIT ABOUT 5 MIN. AND IT WILL START BACK UP. UPON DOING MY RESEARCH I AM UNSURE TO WHY THEIR HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT STARTS TO STALL THEN I HIT THE GAS AND IT KEEPS GOING. *TR

2006 DODGE CHARGES WITH 5.7 HEMI V8 - EXPERIENCING RANDOM STALLING. HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING AND ABS. FIRST HAPPENED WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY AND I HAD TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A SEMI-TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WITH MY YOUNG CHILD IN THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE GAS TANK, FUEL CANISTER, AND PURGE VALVE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE AND REGARDLESS OF WHEN IT WAS REFUELED. EVEN THOUGH THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AND EVEN TRIED CHARGING ME FOR UNNECESSARY DIAGNOSTICS. CAR DOES NOT FLASH A CODE SO AFTER REPLACING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ISSUE, DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT IF IT IS FIXED. THIS HAS LEAD TO A FEW DANGEROUS CLOSE CALLS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, THE CAR WILL STALL OUT RANDOMLY AT ALL SPEEDS OF TRAVEL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS SHT DOWN THE CAR WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY IN FRONT OF SEMI-TRUCKS ONLY TO HAVE POWER STEERING AND PROPULSION STOP. LUCKILY TRUCK WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND HONKED AND SWERVED AROUND, WHILE I RODE OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. THEN IT RESTARTED, RAN FOR ANOTHER MINUTE AND STALLED AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO GET BACK OFF THE SHOULDER. I ENDED UP LETTING IT IDLE FOR 5 MIN BEFORE BEING ABLE TO MERGE SUCCESSFULLY AND GET HOME. ONLINE I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE SAYING THEY HAVE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR 2006 DODGE VEHICLES AS WELL. PLEASE HELP TO GET THIS RESOLVED AS THIS COULD HAVE VERY WELL KILLED SOMEONE.

WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR STALLED LIKE IT WAS LOOSING POWER AND THE STARTED BACK LIKE EVERYTHING WAS FINE THE CAR STARTED DOING THIS MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING ALSO WHEN AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHTS IT WILL JUST DIE MOST THE TIME IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP OR MAY TAKE A FEW MIN AND WHEN SITTING IN PARK THE OIL LIGHT COME ON AND JUST BEEPS NON STOP THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - I HAVE BEEN WAITING SEVERAL MONTHS TO GET MY DRIVER SIDE AIR BAGS CHANGED. I LIVE IN FLORIDA AND IT IS VERY HOT AND HUMID. MY CAR IS 10 YEARS OLD AND I AM OVER 60 YEARS AGO. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL I CAN GET THIS CHANGED. I HAD TO GET THE PASSENGER SIDE DONE AND WAITED A VERY LONG TIME UNTIL I CONTACTED YOU AND YOU HELPED PUSH IT THROUGH. I AM HOPING YOU CAN HELP ME AGAIN AS I AM GETTING TIRED OF CONTACTING THE DEALERSHIP MYSELF. THANK YOU SO MUCH. *TR

AS PER DODGE/CHRYSLER MECHANIC, #4 CYLINDER VALVE SEAT DROPPED AND INTERNALLY DESTROYED MY 5.7 HEMI ENGINE.

(DROPPED VALVE SEAT) I WAS ON MY WAY TO LUNCH WHEN I REALIZED I LEFT AN ITEM IN MY DESK THAT WAS NEEDED. I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK TO THE OFFICE. I PARKED MY CAR, RAN BACK IN TO THE OFFICE AND RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE WITHIN 5 MINUTES. WHEN I TRIED TO START MY ENGINE, IT WOULD NOT START. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL MACHINE SHOP. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT A VALVE SEAT DROPPED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. MY MECHANIC WAS QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS. AS HE STATED THAT IT HAPPENED VERY OFTEN WITH DODGE HEMI 5.7 ENGINES. HE STATED THAT THE VALVE SEATS WERE MADE OF POOR METAL MATERIAL. HE ALSO STATED THAT CHRYSLER WAS VERY AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND WHAT IT CAN CAUSE. I DID MY RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF THREADS WITH PEOPLE THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAD TO BUY A BRAND NEW ENGINE AND SEVERAL OTHER ENGINE PARTS THAT FAILED DUE TO THIS CATASTROPHE. NOT TO MENTION MAJOR LABOR COSTS. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF SAFETY RECALL S43 JULY 23RD AND TO DATE DEALER STILL HAS NO PARTS. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO ME TO BE ACCEPTABLE WHEN POSSIBLE INJURY MAY OCCUR. AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BOTH SIDES WERE NOT DONE LAST YEAR WHEN THE DRIVERS SIDE RECALL CAME UP. CHRYSLER CORP. SHOULD CARE MORE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. I SURE HOPE WE DO NOT EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM BEFORE RECALL GETS DONE..IT COULD BE COSTLY.

WHAT CAN I SAY I HAVE A BAD HYDRAULIC LIFTER FROM A BAD VALVE SEAL THAT CAUSE ALOT OF OTHER PROBLEMS. I WAS STIFFED 1415.00 FROM A DODGE DEALERSHIP.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE I'M TURNING A CORNER ON A CITY STREET OR STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT STALLS, I DO NOT HAVE POWER STEERING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I COULD GET HIT. SOMETIMES IT STALLS MORE OFTEN AFTER I FILL UP WITH GAS. I DO NOT OVERFILL. I HAVE BEEN FILING MY GAS TANK THE SAME WAY FOR 10 YEARS AND UNTIL OCTOBER OF 2016 IT HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM.

AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK, VEHICLE WILL RAPIDLY LOSE RPMS AND STALL WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. I THEN PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND AM ABLE TO RESTART IT, BUT IT WILL STALL AGAIN WHILE MOVING RIGHT AFTER. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH MULTIPLE TIMES. I ONLY BOUGHT THE CAR 12 DAYS AGO AND IT HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE READ THE MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS, AND HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE PCM, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED REPLACING THE GAS TANK BECAUSE THE STALL COULD BE CAUSED BY THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM FAILING FOLLOWING REFUELING. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO NHTSA ACTION PE13016. THE VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT WILL STALL WHILE MOVING AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED ON 11/7/16, AND OCCURRED AGAIN ON 11/15/16, BOTH TIMES AFTER I REFUELED. IT WILL NOT OCCUR IF THE GAS IS BELOW 3/4 FULL. I REPLACED THE PCM ON 11/10/16, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

CHARGER IS STALLING FREQUENTLY. AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. STALLED AND WENT INTO SOME SAFE MODE WHERE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO SECOND GEAR. STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, SIDE ROADS AND WHILE MAKING A TURN. WHILE MAKING THE TURN IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHILE A TRUCK WAS COMING AT US. I HAD MY SON IN THE CAR AND WE WERE STRANDED IN THE ROAD. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! I HAVE READ UP ON THIS AND IT SEAMS TO BE A FAULTY SENSOR AT THE GAS TANK FILL UP. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. GREAT COMPANY!!!

WHILE SITTING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IT CUTS OFF. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2014. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DARCARS HILLCREST HGTS AND NEW CARROLLTON BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AND THEY HAVE YET TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS

MY 2006 CHARGER WILL STALL AND OR JOLT VIOLENTLY AS SOON AS I LEAVE THE GAS STATION, AND IT IS ONLY WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE TWICE AND DRIVING A SHORT WHILE I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK. I KNOW THAT NEWER VEHICLE FUEL TANKS ARE DESIGNED NOT TO BE FORCE FILLED DUE TO THE SPECIAL EVAP SYSTEM. I ONLY FILL THE TANK TILL THE STATION PUMP NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD HOW TO FILL THESE NEWER VEHICLES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER SEVERAL MONTHS, THOUGH I HAVE NOT HAD ANY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, I FEAR THAT THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 50-55 MPH. EVERYTHING WENT OUT. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED. NOW, WHEN I STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT STALLS OUT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A WARNING LIGHT AND I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED WITH A COMPUTER. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE KNOCKS, WON"T EXCEED 55 MPH. SEEMS LIKE A COMMON PROBLEM THAT HAS YET TO BE ADDRESSED. TO MAKE MATTERS WORSE THE TRANSMISSION IS GERMAN AND WILL COST $800 FOR THE PART ALONE, THANKS DODGE.

KEY SWITCH

CAR ENGINE SHUTS DOWN AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS MOMENTARILY AND BACK ON A COUPLE OF TIMES ENGINE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF HAD TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD ENGINE RESTARTS NO FAULT LIGHTS COME ON AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FIND THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR A WHILE VERY DANGEROUS IF DODGE HAS ADDRESSED THIS PROBLEM I FIND NO RECALLS IT SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE A WHILE ON MY VEHICLE TODAY BEING THE LATEST EPISODES THURSDAY, OCTOBER 13, 2016

THE DODGER CHARGER RT HAS BEEN THE WORSE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PAID FOR. MY CHARGER IS ONLY AT 80,000 MILES AND THE CHARGER HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY. THE TRANSMISSION HAS ISSUES WITH GOING OVER 50 MPH AND THE ENGINE NOW KNOCKS. I AM JUST SITING HERE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW A VEHICLE AT 80,000 HAVE THIS MANY ISSUES.
