2006 Dodge Charger complaints

ENGINE JUST STOPPED WORKING. NO WARNING. CAR WAS JUST SERVICED A FEW MONTHS PRIOR. PRE MATURE ENGINE FAILURE

WHEN VEHICLE IS FILLED TO A FULL TANK OF GASOLINE, THE CAR THEN STALLS DURING SHORT DISTANCES. THE STALLING OCCURS RANDOMLY AND IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, THIS POSES A SERIOUS SAFETY RISK TO MYSELF AND ANY OCCUPANTS IN MY CAR ALONG WITH OTHER DRIVERS AROUND ME. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE REPORTS OF THIS BEING A COMMON PROBLEM WITH 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T'S. I AM NOT OVERFILLING THE VEHICLE, BUT I NEED THIS PROBLEM RESERVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE I AM INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT THAT IS NOT MY FAULT AND DUE TO MY CAR STALLING FROM A FULL TANK OF GAS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. AFTER THE GEAR SHIFT WAS SWITCHED TO THE PARK POSITION AND THE IGNITION KEY WAS REMOVED, THE VEHICLE ROLLED AWAY INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 199,665.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART NEEDED TO PERFORM THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE.

GEAR SHIFTER IS STUCK ON PARK WON'T LET ME SHIFT TO ANOTHER GEAR BEEN PARKED ALL NIGHT WOKE UP THIS MORNING TOGO TO WORK ONLY TO EXPERIENCE THIS TERRIBLE SURPRISE.

I NOTICE THAT NUMEROUS 2006 DODGE CHARGERS HAVE HAD PRE MATURE ENGINE FAILURE. NUMEROUS OF THEM HAVE A "DROPPED VALVE". I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER THAT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I DROVE MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS RUNNING FINE WITH NO ISSUES AND PARKED IT AT THE STORE. WHEN I FINISHED AT THE STORE, I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE, GOT IN AND I ATTEMPTED TO START IT AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE MADE A HORRIFIC NOISE AS IF IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART OR EXPLODE. I SHUT IT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE TAILPIPE SO I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO MY HOME. I CALLED DODGE IN 2013 AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A SHOP. THE VEHICLE SAT (UNDRIVABLE) FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AS I WAS TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRS COULD AMOUNT TO ALMOST 7000.00. I HAVE FINALLY TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND AFTER COMPRESSION TESTING AND HEAD REMOVAL, IT WAS DETERMINED THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS IN THE REPORTS I HAVE READ, WHICH IS A DROPPED VALVE IN CYLINDER 6. I CONTACTED DODGE ONCE AGAIN WITH NO ANSWERS OR ASSISTANCE. IN REVIEW OF THE EXISTING COMPLAINTS, I NOTICE THAT THE 11TH DIGIT OF THE VIN IS THE SAME WITH MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT CONTAIN A VIN NUMBER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE HEAD THAT IS CAUSING THIS MALFUNCTION WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN VEHICLES DIE AND QUIT RUNNING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITHOUT WARNING. HAD I HAVE DRIVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINES NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250,000.

WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN WITH NO FORE WARNING. THE GAS PEDDLE WILL GO TO THE FLOOR, ALL STEERING FUNCTIONS WILL BE REMOVED. THE VEHICLE LOCKS FROM 70 TO 0 IN A MATTER OF SECONDS!!! SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART. THUS FAR, NUMEROUS MECHANICS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM.

I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND STARTED MY CAR. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR AND CAME HOME AND FOUND A MULTITUDE OF INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL CAR. I ALSO FOUND OUT HOW TO TAKE THE CONSOLE APART TO GET IN AND SHIFT THE CAR WITHOUT THE SHIFTING LEVER, SO I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR "CERTAIN 2005-2007 DODGE CHARGERS, MAGNUMS, AND 300S." I HAD THEM REPAIR IT FOR $155. THE DEALERSHIP SHARED WITH ME THAT THEY SERVICE 4-5 VEHICLES A WEEK WITH THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THAT IS IN GREENSBORO NC, WHICH IS NOT A SUPER-LARGE MARKET BUT IS NOT A TINY MARKET EITHER. I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN TO ME IN DETAIL WHY MY SPECIFIC CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, ANOTHER VEHICLE COLLIDED INTO THE REAR OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE CONTACT'S HEAD STRUCK THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. THE AIR BAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED HEAD AND EYE INJURIES THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE CONTACT IS NOW BLIND DUE TO THE AIR BAG FAILURE. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A POLICE IMPOUND LOT AND WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 90,000.

AFTER FUELING, LEAVING STATION, TURN CORNER CAR STALLS. STARTS BACK UP DRIVE A LITTLE BIT STALLS AGAIN,TRYING TO PUT INTO GEAR WOULDN'T SHIFT, FINALLY GOT IT HOME. HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ABOUT 2YR AGO, TOOK IT IN HE CLEANED SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE, BILL WAS $400 SOMETHING, NOW HAPPENING AGAIN

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILS TO RETRACT COMPLETELY, CAUSING THE METAL CLIP TO GET CAUGHT IN THE DOOR WELL WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THE CLIP WEDGES THE DOOR SHUT AND THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE, TRAPPING THE DRIVER INSIDE THE CAR. THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE WITH CONSIDERABLE EFFORT. DENTS REMAIN IN THE DOOR WELL AS EVIDENCE OF THE CLIP WEDGING THE DOOR SHUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. DATE OF THE FIRST INCIDENCE AND MILEAGE ARE ESTIMATED.

WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THEN GO DARK (ALL OF THEM). AT THE SAME TIME, ALL THE GAUGES DROP TO ZERO, BOUNCE TO THEIR MAX AND THEN DROP TO A NULL STATE AGAIN. AFTER THIS BLINKING EVENT HAPPENS A FEW TIMES, ALL OF THE MONITORING SYSTEMS AND GAUGES RETURN TO A WORKING STATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE DRIVEABILITY OF THE CAR (BRAKES, TRANS, ETC. ALL STILL FUNCTION). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT CAUSED GREAT CONCERN FOR SAFETY, AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION WHILE UNDER WAY. THE ORIGINAL DATE AND MILEAGE ARE ESTIMATED.

WAITED 2 MINUTES AND TRIED TO RE-START THE ENGINE IT DID START AND WAS ABLE TO CROSS TO TRAFFIC LIGHT AND AVOID HOLDING THE OTHER CARS BEHIND ME. BUT AFTER A FEW AT LEAST A HUNDRED FEET, THE ENGINE STARTS STALL AGAIN THIS TIME HAVE TO ROLL MY CAR INTO THE SIDE ROAD. TRIED A FEW TIMES TO RESTART, ENGINE BUT DID NOT START. AT THAT POINT DECIDED TO CALL FOR HELP AND WHILE WAITING ON THE SIDE ROAD FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES, TRIED TO RE-START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THIS TIME AROUND THE ENGINE STEADIED AND RUNS NORMAL AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE RESEARCH THIS TYPE OF ENGINE STALL AND IT SEEMS THIS IS COMMON TO MY CAR MODEL/YEAR.

2006 DODGE CHARGER RT CAR SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING SHUTS OFF AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. WHEN I'M DRIVING UNDER 60 MPH IT STALLS AS IF IT'S GOING TO STOP AND THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT POPS ON AND GOES OFF BUT IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF. WHEN I AM DRIVING UNDER 40 IT WILL SHUT OFF AND I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES AND PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. BUT THE BEST PART OF THIS WHICH IT'S REALLY NOT A BEST PART THAT IT STARTS RITE UP AFTER EACH ENCOUNTER. THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHT THROUGH OUT THIS ISSUE SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF CODE IT'S GOING TO READ. I TOOK IT TO NAPLETON DODGE IN LANSING, IL YESTERDAY AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND SHOWED THEM THE EDMUNDS REPORT FOR THE EXTENDED FUEL TANK WARRANTY BUT OFF COURSE THEY WANT TO TRY TO GET SOME KIND OF MONEY FROM ME ($125) FOR A DIAGNOSTICS WHICH I'M TELLING THEM AND SHOWING THEM THE REPORT.

AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, CHIMES WHEN OFF IN THE CAR THEN THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED AND CAR DROVE FINE. THE EXACT SET OF INCIDENTS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY OVER A COURSE OF A FEW MONTHS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER. AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS GETTING, TCM, ECM, MAJOR TUNE-UP, SPARK PLUG COILS, SENSORS REPAIRED THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I HAVE HAD OVER THREE DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED EVEN MORE FREQUENTLY AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. DRIVING LIKE THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE. THIS CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. AFTER READING SEVERAL ONLINE THREADS IT APPEARS THAT OTHER 06 CHARGER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND IT TENDS TO POINT TO A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. I NEED THIS MATTER RESOLVED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE.

MY CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK.UPON REVIEWING MY PROBLEMS ONLINE I REALIZED THERE IS A KNOWN RECALL FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL OF MY CAR :CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. ADVISED TO CALL CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT MY EXPENSE FOR THE EXACT RECALL WORK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. CHRYSLER NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDED ALL DODGE CHARGERS FROM 2005-2007 NOT "SOME" MODELS.

I HAVE ORDERED THE RECALLED PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON 20 JULY. I RETURNED A CALL ON 03 AUG. AND WAS TOLD THAT ONLY A FEW PARTS WERE BEING SENT TO THE DEALERSHIPS PER MONTH. IT IS NOW 17 AUG AND I HAVE BEEN ON YOUR HOTLINE FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF. I LIVE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA, AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS NO REGARD TO THE SAFETY ISSUES OF THIS VEHICLE. PERHAPS THE MEDIA WOULD LIKE THE INFORMATION FOR ANOTHER STORY ON HOW THE MANUFACTURERS ARE FAILING THE PUBLIC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE RECALL NOTICE FOR NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS) WAS RECEIVED IN JUNE OF 2015.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE WAS NOT ABLE TO START AND A CLICKING SOUND COULD BE HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VALVE SEAT DROPPED, WHICH DESTROYED THE CYLINDER WALL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENTIRE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,111.

THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFT LEVER INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK BROKE. A BROKEN INTERLOCK RETURN SPRING HOOK RESULTED IN THE INABILITY TO MOVE THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER OUT OF THE PARK POSITION. SAME AS CHRYSLER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39. I WAS TOLD THIS DIDN'T APPLY TO MY CAR. IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. AFTER REFUELING AND DRIVING AT A LOW SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE KEY, A SENSOR AND MULTIPLE PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED MULTIPLE TIMES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

WHEN MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY UPON SLIGHT ACCELERATION THE ENGINE DIED, IN FRONT OF A SEMI TRUCK! WE HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!! WE WERE LUCKY TO NOT HAVE CRASHED. I THEN TURNED KEY TO OFF AND RESTARTED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 MORE TIMES AT LOWER SPEEDS I.E. 15MPH, 20, 30 MPH RANGES, WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT!? BROUGHT IT INTO MECHANIC AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE, CAR HAD NO CODES. THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR. WE DID THAT AND IT WAS FINE.. FOR 15 MILES UNTIL IT DIED AGAIN!!! STILL NO CODES, DEALER WONT HELP, I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR AS IT IS UNSAFE. I DID SOME INTERNET SEARCHES. FOUND ABOUT A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL EVAP SYSTEM AND THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER NECK. THESE FAULTY PARTS CAUSE THE CAR TO READ FALSE RICH SIGNALS AND CAUSES THE ENGINE TO RUN LEANER. SO NOW, LACK OF APPROPRIATE FUEL UPON ACCELERATION CAUSES THE ENGINE TO STALL AND LOSE EFFECTED DRIVE SYSTEMS. THIS IS LUDICROUS FROM CHRYSLER HOW MANY DEATHS HAS THIS CAUSED!?!?

I HAVE HAD MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND HAVE KEPT ALL THE OIL CHANGES AND FLUID FILLED. I HAD NO ISSUE OTHER THAN A BAD FUEL TANK OUT OF THE CAR, UNTIL I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY HEADING TO WORK WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A POP. THEN MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I BARELY MADE IT TO WORK WHERE I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. I LATER FOUND OUT IT HAD DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND THAT DODGE WOULD CHARGE ME OVER $8000 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I WILL INCLUDE A LINK THAT SHOWS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. THE BLOCK AND VALVE SEAT WAS MADE FROM TWO DIFFERENT METALS THAT EXPAND AT DIFFERENT RATES AND LENGTHS. I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING DODGE TO NO LUCK. THIS SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT IS COSTING DODGE CONSUMERS THOUSANDS WHEN IT WAS AVOIDABLE BY PINNING THE VALVE SEATS OR USING THE SAME METALS. DODGE HAS WENT THRU AND PINNED THE VALVE SEATS IN MOTORS THEIR MANUFACTURING, SO THEY KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE BUT ARE NOT HELPING THE CONSUMERS WHO PAID FOR THIS PRODUCT PRIOR TO THEM FIXING IT. [XXX] IS MY VIN AND THE WEBSITE THAT LIST SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS IS HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/CHARGER/2006/ENGINE/PREMATURE_ENGINE_FAILURE.SHTML . I AM JUST ASKING SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

WE HAD NO WARNING (E.I. ENGINE LIGHT NOT LIT, NOT RUNNING HOT, NO STRANGE SOUNDS, ETC.). THE CAR DIED SO WHEN IT WOULDN'T START UP AFTER TRYING FOR A SECOND TIME, WE TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HOURS. THE NEXT MORNING WE GET A CALL SAYING THAT THE VALVE SEAT GUIDE FAILED AND AND THE PISTONS WEREN'T GETTING ANY OIL IN THE 4TH CYLINDER OF THE MOTOR. SO THE MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT'S GONNA $8000. IT'S BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP GOING ON THREE MONTHS. WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, DODGE SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE DODGE! I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS EVERY SINCE MY CAR MALFUNCTIONED. DODGE/DIAMLER CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE SUED! I AM WAITING FOR A CLASS ACTION LAW-SUIT TO BE ANNOUNCED-

I GOT MY FUEL TANK REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (NEW FUEL TANK & O-RING PART #S: CNSTX531AA AND CNSTX532AA) AND NOW STALLING IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. ENGINE WANTS TO STALL ANYWHERE FROM 0-30 MPH NOW WHETHER THE TANK IS FULL, HALF EMPTY OR NEAR EMPTY. THE CAR'S STALLING CAN BE PREVENTED BY PROVIDING QUICK ACCELERATION, WHICH WILL TEMPORARY FIX THE ISSUE, ONLY TO HAVE IT COME BACK LATER. THE CHOICE BETWEEN STALLING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND LOSING POWER STEERING & OTHER NECESSITIES, OR QUICKLY ACCELERATING TO PREVENT A STALL, LEAVE DRIVERS WITH TWO UNSAFE, DANGEROUS CHOICES EACH. THE FUEL TANK RECALL DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. IF ANYTHING, IT MADE IT WORSE, MORE DANGEROUS, AND MADE A MINOR DEFECT/ANNOYANCE INTO A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAN NOT BE "BURNT OFF" LIKE THE EXCESS GAS IN THE PREVIOUS FUEL TANK. DEALERSHIPS GIVE US THE RUN AROUND. SAYING THEY EITHER DON'T HAVE THE PIECE, OR THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE THE NEW, YET STILL FAULTY, FUEL TANK. IT'S BECOMING A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH NO REAL REMEDY IN SIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP BLAMES CHRYSLER/DODGE AND CHRYSLER/DODGE BLAMES THE DEALERSHIP. THE TWO POINT FINGERS AND SCAPEGOAT EACH OTHER, LEAVING THE CUSTOMER TO EITHER REPLACE EVERYTHING OUT-OF-POCKET OR DRIVE A SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED AND DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I WENT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH TWO MINOR DTC CODES THAT I PLANNED ON REPAIRING (THEY WERE NONIMMEDIATE AND NOT SERIOUS) AND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WITH 15 CODES. CHRYSLER EVEN GAVE ME A "CASE MANAGER" FOR THIS, BUT THE CASE MANAGER S

I FILLED MY GAS TANK (BUT DID NOT TOP IT OFF WITH FUEL) AND LEFT THE GAS STATION AT THE FIRST INTERSECTION. THE CAR STALLED WHILE BRAKING, THE CAR CAME BACK ON, ACCELERATED AGAINST BRAKES, DIED AGAIN AND WOULDN'T TURN OVER AFTERWARD. HAD TO TURN THE CAR ALL THE WAY OFF AND BACK ON TO RESTART THE CAR, ONLY TO HAVE IT DO IT THREE MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. IT FEELS LIKE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I READ UP ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT IT'S VERY COMMON. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE PAID FOR A VEHICLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT US -- THIS IS NOT SAFE.

I WAS IN ROUTE HOME AND STOPPED TO GET FUEL AND PROCEEDED ON MY ROUTE WHEN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED WITH NO USE OF BREAKS OR STEERING AVAILABLE. IN ATTEMPT TO GAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE I CRASHED INTO A DITCH. END RESULTED IN ME WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY TOTALING OUT MY VEHICLE. I HAD NO MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION AND AT COMPLETE LOSS OF A VEHICLE THAT I FINALLY WAS THRU PAYING FOR!! I WISH SOMEONE WILL HELP ME AND MY FAMILY THE LOSS OF THIS VEHICLE TOOK A GREAT TOLL ON MY FAMILY! I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIPS AND EVEN LAWYERS!

MY VEHICLE BEGAN SHUTTING OFF WHILE IDLE ABOUT ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT STARTED BACK UP IMMEDIATELY AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. INITIALLY THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS THAT CAME UP. IT SOON HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY PULLED SOME CODES THAT THEY SAID THE DEALER HAD TO REPAIR. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE DEALER THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I SHARED THE OTHER DIAGNOSTIC WITH THEM BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS REALLY WRONG. IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN MONTHS LATER AND I TOOK IT TO YET ANOTHER MECHANIC. THIS MECHANIC 'RESET THE COMPUTER" AND MADE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURN OFF. IT STOPPED FOR A TIME BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. THIS TIME (140,000 MILES) THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY! I WAS SLIGHTLY TAPPED ON THE REAR BY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. ANOTHER TIME A SEMI TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME AND I STALLED. LUCKILY WE WERE IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. AGAIN AT HIGH SPEEDS THE ENGINE WOULD TURN BACK ON BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY BABY IN THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE A TON OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON DODGE FORUMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES!!!

I WAS DRIVING AROUND WITH SOME FRIENDS ONE NIGHT AND STOPPED TO TALK TO THEM FOR A MINUTE. I DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR, IT WOULDN'T START AND WHEN IT FINALLY DID, IT SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND SHUT OFF. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE CAR DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND RUINED THE MOTOR OF THE CAR. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 5.7 HEMI IN THE CHARGERS. I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS THAT HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR CHARGER.

WHEN DRIVING AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE THE ENGINE WILL COMPLETELY CUT OUT NOT COMPLETELY STALL THEN KEEP GOING. IT HAS STALLED ON OCCASION BUT MOST OF THE TIME DOES NOT. WHEN SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED PROBLEM GOES AWAY THEN WILL RANDOMLY REOCCUR DAYS LATER. ALSO HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED HOME WHEN A CHEAP METAL PART IN THE START MECHANISM BROKE MY HUSBAND HAD TO TAKE THE IGNITION SWITCH APART TO FIX IT WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER. ALSO HAD AN ISSUE WHERE THE CAR WOULD NOT COME OUT OF PARK ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS BUT NOT FOR MY VIN NUMBER.
