After filling up with fuel my charger will stall. It has happened 5 or 6 separate occasions over the past 2 years. I generally do not fill the car up all the way because of this. However just today i had the same problem after accidentally filling it. I do not top off the car when filling once the nozzle clicks off i stop. Today after getting gas i went to pull out into traffic and the car stalled. The power steering would not work the engine shut off and i was stranded halfway out into the lane of oncoming traffic. I put the car in park and restarted it and drove about 20 feet before it shut off again. This is a huge safety issue. I thought i was going to be hit. I did manage to get the car home which is about two miles away but i had to restart it four more times. I've got roughly 80,000 miles on the car i have always kept up with maintenance and with any repairs that needed to be done. I searched online to see if there was a recall for this problem but there doesn't seem to be even though a lot of people seem to be having the same problem not only with the chargers but with three hundreds as well
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!

Takata recall. Based on an original e-mail i sent nhtsa on 3/6/17, as suggested, i am "filing a complaint"i received a safety recall notice (s43 / nhtsa 16v-352) for the airbag in my 2006 dodge charger sometime in the late summer / early fall of 2016. Since that time i have called the local chrysler (port jeff chrysler jeep dodge) dealership on at least 4 occasions to schedule the airbag replacement. The first 2 calls were made sometime late summer / early fall 2016, a third call was made on dec 2, 2016, and a 4th call was made on feb 17, 2017. During this last phone conversation (feb 17) the dealership service representative told me "we have no idea when we are getting the parts".in the "important safety recall" notice i received it states "if your dealer fails or is unable to remedy this defect without charge and within a reasonable time, you may submit a written complaint to the administrator, nhtsa...."i am familiar with the extensive takata airbag recall. But is the delay i am experiencing at the local dealership at an acceptable level. I will add that i am the car's original owner and that i did not purchase the car from the above mentioned dealership, as the local dodge dealership where the car was purchased was closed by chrysler several years back. Since that closing i have taken my car to port jeff chrysler for numerous services as well as recalls, and have been very happy with their timely service.i am just concerned that one of the more critical safety features in a vehicle is taking so long to correct. Please advise if this is an acceptable time frame for the recall to be corrected.ps: an entry for the "when did this happen" field below is required. I posted aug 15, 2016 as an on or about date in which, to the best of my recollection, is when i received the recall notice

"takata recall" i received notification ofsafety 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.

I recently purchased a 06 dodge charger r/t. Vin: [xxx]. Manufactured 3/06.it is equipped with advanced air bags, and an occupant classification system that will disable the air bags if it detects a small child in the front seat.however, on my car, and on the other (20+) cars on the dealers lot, the indicator that tells you when the passenger air bag is disabled is not present. There is simply a plastic place-holder where the indicator light should be.i have been in contact with several other charger and 300c owners, and virtually all models produced after jan 06 do not have this light.here is a memo that my dealer found from chrysler concerning this:note for all markets; as of 12/23/2005, for cars without side airbags, and as of 01/05/2006 for cars with side airbags, the passenger airbag disable[pad] lamp is no longer functional. It is still present, but will not illuminate at any time.according to nhtsa law:http://www.nhtsa.dot.gov/ncap/airbag...frontabs.htm#5vehicles with advanced frontal air bags that are designed to suppress the air bags (not allow them to deploy) are also required to have an indicator light with the phrase "passenger air bag off" or "pass air bag off". When illuminated, the purpose of this indicator light is to inform you that the passenger frontal air bag has been automatically turned off (suppressed) by the advanced frontal air bag system and therefore will not deploy. This can happen if sensors detect a small-statured passenger such as an infant or toddler in the right front passenger seating position.this seems like a major safety issue to me. I have contacted chrysler numerous times regarding this, and each time they take my contact info and say they will get back to me, but i have yet to get a call.updated 07/12/2012 information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

While traveling on us 33 west bound in marysville ohio, just in front of exit honda parkway around 6 am, traffic came to a stop, as i was slowing down, estimating around 50 mph (70 speed limit), the car behind me crashed into the the rear of my car, after collision iresponded by trying to steer my car to left, but hit the car in front of me. All three cars involved in the crash were totaled. The rear impact shattered the rear window and significant damage occurred to the rear of my car and also the front from the forward collision. The vehicle's airbags did not deploy, i hit my head on the steering wheel, and suffered from a diagnosed concussion as well as a severe strain to my neck. One year ago, i had taken my vehicle to a dodge dealer to get the airbag replaced due to a recall. Considering this, i reached out to dodge and they assigned a case number to the incident. It has now been four weeks, since i have contracted them, and dodge is yet to respond to my issue. I have called several times each week, following up on the case but has not contacted me our provided me with any information. Dodge has claimed to have attempted to reach out to me, but cited an issue with having wrong number, even as i have confirmed / verified my contact information every time i have contacted them.

We were driving on the freeway and we slowed down for traffic. We were going about 25 miles an hour when we got hit from behind. The car was going 40 to 50 miles an hour. The whole dash - stereo and etc came apart but neither the driver or passenger airbag deployed?? i just bought the car from a dealership in september 2013 so everything should have been in working order.

Although the recall has been issued, chrysler has not released the replacement parts to any dealer in my area (central florida). Further, the dealerships have no date by which they expect to receive the parts.

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.

This issue started approx 3 weeks ago. The head lights will not stay on they flicker off and on as if i was flashing my lights to alert another driver, when they are actually doing this on its on. This is not only a safety issue, but i'm afraid i will get pulled over by law officials. And my job requires me to have to be at work at night.this is very disturbing when this happens and they stay off at times for 30 to 40 seconds at a time and i'm having to hold the bright light arm to have lights. The passenger airbag light comes on from time to time saying it is not on, and there are brake issues as well.

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.

I was on the freeway doing 65 mph, and was rear ended by a drunk driver in an suv doing approximately 120 mph. At the time of impact my airbags did not deploy. My vehicle did not spin out of control or anything like that, but had i not had control of my car, who knows if the airbag would have deployed.
I was recently in a car accident where my brakes locked on me and i went sliding into another vehicle. When the impact occurred my air bags never deployed and my brakes were still locked.
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.

Driving to the beach, suddenly all warning lights on dashboard came on, then engine shut off, loss of power, then thick white smoke coming from hood, then flames underneath the car, then within a minute the car was completely engulfed, destroying the engine compartment, and front seat, dashboard & windshield blew out...scariest thing ever.! i nearly escaped in time, lucky to have not been burned, lucky i got out alive... There should be a recalldodge charger r/t hemi, 2006 (5.7 liter)
Two years ago i had to replace the engine while driving the car all the lights came on and it lost power while driving at approximately 40 mph. Yesterday while on the highway going 65 mph the car lost power. This is very unsafe especially on the highway.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.while driving approximately 35 mph on normal road conditions, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal.she immediately heard a beeping noise followed by excessive hesitation.in addition, there was an extremely low power response during acceleration.the failures occurred without warning.the vehicle resumed normal operation and was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection.the technician was unable to duplicate the failure.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on five separate occasions for identical failures, but there were no resolutions.the failure mileage was 23,723 and current mileage was 39,000.

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.
The occupant classification system was defective and failed to recognize a passenger was seated in the front seat during a crash. As a result, the passenger's airbag failed to deploy in a severe frontal impact collision.the vehicle was involved in a severe, direct frontal impact with another vehicle while traveling at highway speeds. The impact was severe, deformed frame rails and was directly frontal. The driver's airbag deployed, but the passenger airbag failed to deploy. The passenger, an adult female, was belted but her head hit the dash in the area of the airbag flap and she suffered fatal head injuries.the ecm was downloaded and revealed the occupant classification system had failed to recognize a passenger was in the front seat at the timeof the crash. The eprom data read "front passenger occupant class: undetermined" even though an adult female was seated in the front passenger seat at the time of the crash.investigation revealed that trw automotive u.s. Llc and kelsey-hayes company are the suppliers responsible for the occupant classification system and related parts that failed.see also odi 11002482. *dsy**
Vehicle jerks while driving as if something is starting to die or go out, then starts running again. Only appears to happen after filling the fuel tank to completely full. Vehicle will stall out within several feet after fueling up, then restart and you're good to go. You drive maybe an eighth of a mile and as you slow to a stop, the car will stall out and die again. Usually fine for the rest of the evening. Vehicle eventually shuts off when i come to a near stop or am stopped. Oil lamp light turns on when the car dies. Tried restarting twice, but was unsuccessful. Took the key out of the ignition, then waited a few minutes. Tried to start the engine again and was successful. It seems extremely unsafe to drive like this, but it seems i have to drive long enough to burn off some gas to keep the gas tank under full at all times to avoid this problem.
Vehicle stalled again today (october 19th, 2013) with no warning while making a left-hand turn at a major intersection. Filled up earlier today with no top off. Has happened multiple times prior since (may 2013). Dealer can not diagnose. Normally happens after fuel fill up. After complaining multiple times to the dealer, replaced all spark plugs and performed a transmission flush and re flashed the pcm at my expense, despite having warranty coverage through 2015 120k miles because they could not repeat the problem on a 5 minute test drive. The vehicle stalled again two days later. After more visits no solution has been met and this car is extremely unsafe.
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, abs, traction control & electrical light was on. I tried restarting it and it started and drove like nothing had happened, even the lights were no longer on. 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. Since the first incident it has happened at lease 10 more times. 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. Many have said that it happened after refueling their car, for me it has happened a couple of times after refueling, but multiple times while it was at 1/2 and 1/4 tank. 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 company should pay for the repairs to correct his issue. A recall needs to be issued immediately!
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
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.
My 2006 dodge charger hemi police interceptor i purchased from the state of oregon at 137,000 randomly dies.the lightning bolt warning light comes on.the electronic throttle control code comes on.the car has been to the dealer and the pcm $750 has been replaced and the plugs $350 have been replaced as well.i also get tcm codes.my car has died at very dangerous times, when passing or merging into traffic.the dealer doesn't know what's causing it.
Recently i started having an issue with my charger. Upon entering a high way and attempting to merge with traffic during morning rush hour, my car lost all power upon acceleration. The engine did not stall but the tachometer dropped to near zero, the engine light and power light flashed briefly and then returned to normal. I attempted to accelerate again and same thing happened. Fortunately i was able to avoid a pretty significant accident with thecars behind me and the ones i was merging on to the highway with. The symptoms disappeared for a few weeks and then started again and progressively became worse. I brought the car to the dealer that investigated and found it to be the power control module which turned out to be quite expensive. I did some research on a forum that i belong to and found many instances of this. Contacted chrysler and simply put they did not seem to care. There are many defects on this year of charger and not one of them has ever been covered, at least the ones that i have. I consider this latest incident to be serious safety problem and hope that it gets investigated. As for another chrysler product, never again in my lifetime. I rely on my vehicle for work and this is by far the worst that i have ever owned. Please look into this before someone has to start checking off accident and death when submitting a form.

I am about to file a lemon law complaint because dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 dodge charger r/t, since day four of my ownership.i have owned this car for 68 days and of those, i have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days.they have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate".the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission.of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks.i happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car.additionally, i have taken my car to two different mechanics (one dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions.i would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution.
I have a 2006 dodge charger 3.5l.the head lights and tail lights keep going out. I turn the switch on and the lights may come on and then go off. I turn the switch to cut the lights off andcome on and then go off. This is just crazy. Car only has 70k miles on it.
Theres seems to be a short in the electrical system which cause the instrument cluster to completely shut down and light to flicker when driving. Usually happens when car heater is on or driving for a long period of time. Dealer will not acknowledge issue very known problem on the internet boards with charger owners.
Dashboard guage so and headlights lose power.

-the sunroof will not always close all the way. It will reopen itself upon exiting-my car stalls often whenever i accelerate, it seems the gas has to "catch up" this uncomfortable/unsafe.) home. Also, it is embarrassing for my car to 'conk out'.- i am currently broken down due to the fuel pumps' incorrect assertions of gas.disappointed andneed assistance to repair said issues. Thank you

I turned my key over and the battery exploded.both caps were blown against the fiberglass lid in the trunk.battery was split across the front and side.battery acid covered the underside of the trunk area.white odorless smoke came out of the trunk area.
The car stops without warning while driving.no power to the gas pedal while the dashboard lights up with all warning lights.this has happened 3 times, once while driving on the highway.after 2nd time in shop within 2 weeks of buying car, the power control module was replaced.daimler chrysler assured me it would never happen again.it did and i am filing under the lemon law for a new car.the car was in the shop for 17 days out of the first 30 i owned it.it is going in again.
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.
My son's car caught fire after he had parked it for the night. After 10 minutes he was called at his apartment by a friend who told him his car was on fire. There were no warning signs whatsoever. No warning lights, unusual smells, or hints of impending doom for his car.
This problem started about a year age. At first it was once ever 3 months now it happening more often. On 1/14/2014 after filling the gas tank the car stalled nearly being rear ended on the expressway. This problem getting worse and worse everytime. This problem is going to take someone's life in an accident.
I have a 2006 dodge charger r/t.on 6/3/11, i was traveling at approximately 45mph when the engine died and i lost all power.the car coasted for about a quarter mile before i was able to cost it off of the road.this was a two lane road with a very small shoulder.after researching this issue online, it appears that this is a common problem with many dodges (engine stalling and vehicle loss of power) while driving.this is a safety issue that dodge should correct.
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.
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 said all they can do is rely on the dealership's diagnostics... Literally just a waste of time. Why even assign a case manager? i took the car in to replace the fuel tank since it was under warranty (aka free)... I'm a college student with no finances for repair. Now, i'm left with a faulty, unsafe, nearly inoperable vehicle with no other means of transportation. Someone needs to step in.
This has been an on-going problem that we've been chasing for several years. The car will stall while driving, usually without warning sometimes the gauges will drop and the warning "ding" will sound.most of the time the car will restart, however there has been instances that it has to sit for awhile before restarting. In any case, it is a safety concern since it will stall while driving.i've had it happen on the highway as well as on city streets.there are times in which we have to restart the car multiple times in order to get the gauges and headlights to turn on when this happens the tail lights, and brake lights don't work either.it is clear there is an electrical issue with these cars, i hope dodge takes care of their customers and resolves the issues that are occurring before someone gets killed.
I have owned my 2006 dodge charger v6 3.5l ho, for almost 2 years now and in that time the car has had the same problems that the dealers can't fix or even know what to do. I would go to start the car and it would crank up, turn over then cut back off. It would do that about three times before starting after i turn the radio off. It has also had about a 30 second pause when starting the car, in which there would be no engine cranking, no noise... Just the dashboard lights and nothing else. I had to turn the key three times before i got it to start. The absolute worst is the car idles down like it wants to shut off while stopped in everyday traffic not to mention the previous 2 i stated before, happens in spurts. Its been back to the dealership several times and i was told that the computer was returning "no codes" so they don't know what the problem is. They have tested the battery, ignition and they were all fine.
2006 dodge charger.consumer writes in regards to faulty ignition switch. 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.

Shortly after filling the vehicle with fuel one day, it began to stall out when stopped. While traveling at highway speeds it seems to momentarily lose electrical and mechanical power, then a warning sound will chime and everything returns to normal... Temporarily. However, while on a road trip and traveling at speeds over 70mph with cruise control on, we didn't experience any of these symptoms until we had to reduce our speed when approaching towns.also, the cruise control will shut off if it is being used when "power surge" happens and has to be manually reset.
The headlights on my car started flashing almost every time i turn them on, and this is forcing me to not be able to drive at night. It started with a flash on 12/2/2014, and now it occurs every time i drive the vehicle. I have been told that it could be anything in the front end causing a short and have checked for recalls but this is not a determined recall at this time. The dealership has been no help and wants to charge extra money just to look at it. Considering i have seen many other drivers with the same make/ model/ year vehicle in car forums and blogs regarding this very same issue, i'm hoping this report will help push for an investigation as i have to drive for my employment and do not want to get a traffic ticket for faulty equipment.
I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times to have issues fixed.each time i got the car back, it was worse.i had 13 issues originally with the car.i ended up suing, and got a very small settlement- dodge refused to cooperate.i still have each and every problem, and do not know what else to do.my car dies while in reverse, the brakes malfunction constantly, the window panel remains broken due to their inept work, the radio cuts off, the dash lights die @ night, etc.i would truly appreciate it if someone could actually help me.i do not know what else to do.i love my car dearly, but something needs to be done.the date i put as date of incident is when this all started.
My car shuts off when sitting in traffic also car does not cut back on until after 3 tries its also shut off after u put gas in the car in stall at idle it also shuts down sometime while driving i have a daughter who is only 6 this is very dangerous for call to shut off in traffici'm scared don't no what to do or why i'm have in this problem.
The abs, brake and traction control lights came on. Then when you hit the brakes you would feel a vibration. The brakes do not vibrate any more but all the lights are still on. There was a recall for the 2007 charger for this butnot the 2006.
Car stalls out and loss of power while stopping for stop light. Oil light comes on after stalling out but no engine light or fault code shows up. Car usually starts up right away but does take a couple of tries at times. Car also jerks around like starving for fuel. Had a tune up done, fuel system cleaned and was told that the shop could not duplicate the problem. This is very discerning to myself and my family due to safety. A car that stalls for no reason or warning is a huge safety issue.

2006 dodge charger.consumer writes in regards to vehicle frequent stalling issues.the consumer stated the dealer was never able to fix the issue.
I have complained on this vehicle multiple times now.it continues to have a randomly stalling engine while driving.the dealership claims it is not the gas tank.it has finally started causing the check engine light to come on (yay! it might actually get fixed).just kidding!the dealership states that the codes that show up are general pcm codes that mean nothing.from online research, it appears it may be an electrical issue with the pcm, ecm, or numerous other parts.either way, most of us go without cars for weeks while mechanics cannot find the actual cause thus cannot fix a dangerous vehicle.most of us don't want to drive vehicles that stall while going 40 mph.
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).

The car shut off completely while driving right after refueling and leaving the gas station. It shut off 3 more times after that.

My car is shutting off while driving causing unsafe driving conditions.i have checked numerous forums and many people are having this same issue. This could result in a fatality. I was driving and my car just shut off the power steering went out i was not able to start the care again until i got it back in park. It has happened 2 times now.
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.
There is something going on with the electrical system which causes the instrument cluster to completely shut down and lights to flicker when driving. Usually happens when car heater is on or driving for a long period of time. I have a video of the issue and showed it to cerritos dodge service department but they didnt acknowledge issue.
All of the lights light up and the needles move up/down on the dashboard intermittently for like 3-4 seconds and normally does this twice consecutively and this appears to happen randomly.
Car began going into limp mode while driving down the road or coming to a stop and restarting. Now throws engine lights for cylinder 3 and cylinder 4 misfire.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that after turning the key in the ignition, he heard a loud abnormal noise. The contact inspected the vehicle and saw that the battery had exploded without warning. The contact unhooked the faulty battery and replaced it with a new one. The vehicle was not inspected by a dealer or an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure and current mileages were approximately 105,000.
Since i purchased my car in 2007 (2nd owner) while driving down the road my instrument panel goes dead. I have brought this to the dealership on 6 occasions only for them to tell me they can't duplicate the problem. It is now going to be 2011 and the electrical system panel still shuts down unexpectedly.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that there were several failures that progressed within months of owning the vehicle. The vehicle stalled several times and the instrument panel warning indicators and gauges flickered. When there was a loss of power, the doors would automatically lock and were unable to open. In addition ,the brakes failed to function properly when applied. An unknown dealer replaced the brakes and the pinion pins twice due to the wheels on the driver's side being affected due to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and the contact was waiting to determine if there was an option to trade in or buy back the vehicle. The failure mileage was not available.
Car locked in park in the driveway. While driving in the rain all the dash lights flickered for 2-3 seconds then all lights and gauges shut down this included the headlights as well. While driving 55 miles per hour the car shut itself off i was in heavy traffic at the time. Car is now at the dealership again they cannot find the problem. I still have the same problems with dash lights flickering and the car stopping. Don't know if anyone else is having this problem but the car will also surge forward at a high rate of speed like i have stepped on the gas but my foot would be on the brake. This has happened several times and it scares me to death. These are safety issues that need to be corrected by the manufacture. Dealerships are aware of these issues and have done nothing to correct the problems. This will be the last dodge i purchase even though i like to buy american made. An investigation should be done with so many complaints. I will be calling detroit with these issues.
A quarter of the way through my turn to enter i-10 my car completely lost power and shut off out of the blue without warning!! i had to coast across 3 lanes of traffic praying my son and i wouldn't get into an accident. Once on the side of the rode i turned the key off, waited a second then turned it again to have the car start right up and be fine the rest of the way home. This is not the first time this has happened. Research has revealed this is a common problem which needs to be addresses before someone is killed!! strongly urging nhtsa to launch an investigation into dodge/chrysler.
When i took my car in to the dealership i was never told i had to replace my battery.10 20, 2009 i was at cvs store i got in my car started it then the battery blew completely up.it sounded like a boom.the store clerk ran out and on lookers told me the car was smoking from the trunk.in disbelief i ran back to the store to call the fire department asap.when the fire department opened the trunk sparks from the battery was beginning to start a fire.one gentleman from the fire department said he would have to cut the battery cable because it was electrical problems in the battery or else the car would explode because it was to close to gas pump.he told me i was very lucky because if the blast was any stronger it could have blown up the car completely if the fire sparks and gas collided.from the blast my neck jerked very hard and i am experiencing dizzy ness from the explosion and battery acid fumes and minor back pains.i would like to know what my legal rights or and option to get this issue resolved.at this time my car is completely damaged i have no electrical power at this time and my front windshield was cracked.i have no transportation wanted to see if dodge would take responsibility in this electrical system battery defect which almost cause me my life.
You can be driving down the road, and every thing n the vehicle will shut off like you turned the key off, and be traveling at speed and speedometer go to 0 all gauges interior lights dash cluster i mean off, and come back up like you just got in and turned the key but speed comes tach comes back up all your dash lights prestart light up, oil tire pressure all your computer test safety warning lights and door ding, it might do it 5 or 6 times sometimes stay off longer come back for a while and its done it 20 30 times and the motor still running and i believe lights still working , 1 time i was leaving work and used the manual shift mode and she stumbled and just laid down went quarter mile it lit back up, that concerned me as well as the shut downs of all instrumentation, up n down and i don't get quite as concerned as the first 35 times, but wife driving it to work and it done it she wasn't feeling near as fuzzy as i had became and her boss had one same year same color gomango he told her his didit to, just wondering if some solution had come about out of quantity, cause i know how all of them are about fessing up and doing a recall to fix theirdefects in engineering problems despite the price we pay for a new one? and they still owe me door guards that changed colors a year after i bought it, looked bad, but just had got floor carpet that fit and couldn't see metal under dog house so i let um slide and this also they dismissed? oh and hell yea im mad about my 2004dodge dully dash breaking all to crap and the dam clear coat coming off looks likei over paid for that truck?
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.
After filling up with fuel my charger will stall. It has happened 5 or 6 separate occasions over the past 2 years. I generally do not fill the car up all the way because of this. However just today i had the same problem after accidentally filling it. I do not top off the car when filling once the nozzle clicks off i stop. Today after getting gas i went to pull out into traffic and the car stalled. The power steering would not work the engine shut off and i was stranded halfway out into the lane of oncoming traffic. I put the car in park and restarted it and drove about 20 feet before it shut off again. This is a huge safety issue. I thought i was going to be hit. I did manage to get the car home which is about two miles away but i had to restart it four more times. I've got roughly 80,000 miles on the car i have always kept up with maintenance and with any repairs that needed to be done. I searched online to see if there was a recall for this problem but there doesn't seem to be even though a lot of people seem to be having the same problem not only with the chargers but with three hundreds as well
While driving with cruise control on the car just stalled out for about 3-5 seconds and kicked back on.this has now become more frequent and also stalls while stopped now.i have spent over 1300$ trouble shooting and going back and forth to the mechanic.only to start searching and came across this investigation.i just want the car to run correctly.
Car stalls.usually when coming to a stop but has stopped while driving on ta two lane highway in 120 degree weather.almost got rear ended.
An accident and or death waiting to happen. May 8, 2009. I am a mother with a now 1 yr. Old child who travels 80% of the time in the back seat of my 2006 charger r/t with hemi 5.7l which now has 40,000 miles. Since feb 2008 being 8 mths pregnant at the time with car having 23,723 miles i have repeatedly gone to potakin planet dodge in miami, fl complaining about an inconsistent problem with the car. It will shut off for no apparent reason at a red light (no warning lights before or after) it will shut off in the parking lot at 10-20 mph (no warning lights before or after) but the biggest fear is what i have experienced 2 times so far with the baby in the back seat! first time i was traveling 35 mph on the street and the 2 time i was traveling 65 mph on the highway and out of the blue the car stalls as if getting ready to shut off, you look at the dash and all gauges are beginning to drop, i step on the gas and the car has some trouble remembering what it should be doing (driving on the highway) and then proceeds as if nothing ever happened. The service dept. Can not tell me why the car does this. The "16 point inspection" states the car is fine. No error codes come up. No "check engine" light either. This car is all i have to move around in for my girls and myself. I am in sooooo much shock to read all the complaints on the nhtsa website regarding this same problem and dodge does nothing. If something where to happen to my family or myself because of this malfunction that dodge is aware of and is doing nothing it is now noted here that i have been turning for over a yearto resolve my issue just like everyone else with the same problem. Stalling for no apparent reason. Please. Lets avoid an accident and or death waiting to happen! ! !signed a desperate mother.
Horn starts blowing while car is turned off and no keys in the ignition and drains the battery. Most recent was sunday june 5th 2016 at approximately 2am while i was asleep in bed. The neighbors were not happy.
This vehicle has been flawless since purchased new in 2006. In nov. 2013 it stalled when backing out of the garage. Restarted vehicle and was fine for 5 miles then stalled again. Ever since then the problem has increased in frequency and almost caused multiple accidents due to the vehicle stalling when crossing intersections or merging onto highways. I have not driven this car in months due to this as it is not safe for me or other drivers on the road. I have spent close to $2,000.00 in multiple attempts to fix this vehicle following repair manual procedures via the dealer. I have had the pcm, replaced twice (first one was defective right out of the box), tcm replaced, battery replaced, throttle body replaced, map sensor replaced, asd relay replaced and spark plugs replaced with zero improvements. I used to enjoy this vehicle and now it is a death trap with the way it is behaving. Something needs to be done as there are tens of thousands of these vehicles on the road exhibiting the same symptoms and dealer techs unable to properly diagnose and repair them.

The failure mileage was 75,000.
My car has had multiple occurrences where i am sitting at a stoplight in traffic and the car will suddenly shut off for no reason. This usually occurs after i fill the gas tank completely full after a trip to the gas station. My car has also done this while the car is moving. This has happened up to 70 mph while trying to pass another vehicle. The car actually "coughed" then just sort of stalling, suddenly started performing normally. This vehicle has stalled so many times at stoplights in traffic that my wife is afraid to drive it anymore. My local chrysler dealer has installed two different transmission control modules in the car in an attempt to fix the problem, but to no avail. I have noticed that since i have stopped filling the gas tank completely full that the stalling has stopped.

Several times while in motion, the dash lights blink and power is lost. Sometimes it will continue to run and sometimes it will not move.on other days it runs just fine.there are no codes that flash and the check engine light does not stay on except for when the dash lights are flashing. A simple search will verify with many other people that this is happening alot.it is not the fuel tank problem.it happens while still and happens while in motion.a while back i was trying to cross a busy intersection and it happeden at that point.it has been going on for a while since about 50,000 miles and we are at 80,000 now.. It stays parked alot for being 10 yrs old.
While driving my headlights, and parking lights flicker like a christmas tree or sometimes just go out, for a few seconds. I notice this happens in the cold weather especially.
2006 dodge charger --for no apparent reason all dashboard lights and brake lights flicker and go out every once in a while, and some times the engine stalls. Some times the alarm goes on with brake light on/off problem.i turned battery kill switch off and on, it started the stalled engine.i pulled and pushed the emergency brake lever, it helped; but i will watch it for recurrance.the engine stalling problem may be a ticking time bomb. Nhtsa, please do something about it.
While driving my 2006 dodge charger, it died as i was turning. The steering wheel locked on me completely.i took it in to our local dodge service center and they said they could not find anything wrong with it. A month and a half later the same problem happens, this time while stopped at a red light on our local highway. We have taken it back to the same dodge service center and they still cannot find anything wrong with it.i have been researching on line and this is a common problem with dodge vehicles.if they do not fix this and this causes an accident which injures one of my family members i will be suing dodge! this will turn into a class action lawsuit.
It cuts off when i'm driving it slows down and i have to tryin get over .and it takes almost a 1.5 hours before it cranks back up. That can cause a car crash.

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 managedto 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. Iput 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.
My dash lights and gauges inside all flicker off and on and drop to zero. The car feels like it looses power, it's very dangerous to drive and nobody seems to have a fix. For it, not a definitive answer. My out side lights would flicker on and off as well, but i replaced my light switch and it feels like this is just a temporary fix.
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.
I had just filled my gas tank and pulled on to a busy road. As i approached the stoplight the vehicle just died. It did not start right back up , it took 3 different tries. This has now happened 4 times. All times were after i filled up at the gas station.
Every time the vehicle gas tank is filled, the engine stalls shortly after driving away. It requires several cranks of the engine to get started again. After the engine is restarted, driving /idle is rough for some amount of time before returning to normal. This happens all the time. This is very dangerous as the car stalls on me in traffic and merging on to the freeway after filling up at any gas station.
I was driving when my car seemed to stall and start back. The most scariest times are on the freeway. I've been in the fast lane and had it happens car stalls and kicks back on. I've taken my car to dodge dealers and they can't figure it out. I love my car but i'm really getting sick of them not fixing the problem. I'm having the same problem as everyone else so i'm not going to type it up in detail. But there is no reason why a car can stall itself and restart back up with no trace it ever happen. It's dangerous to the driver and passengers and incoming traffic. My car has been checked from the engine own and its showing nothing. My car is currently at chapman dodge chrysler and jeep and i got the call today saying its nothing showing wrong. It seems its electrical because when it happens it loses power and when i starts back on it has a kick to it. I'm just asking for it to be fix before someone gets killed.
The 20'06 dodge charger had less than 32,000 miles on it, and while driving one day i stepped on the accelerator to merge onto interstate 5 during rush hour traffic and the car stalled. Momentarily, the check engine light came on, i stepped on the gas and it did it again and then it resumed power.i tookvehicleto the dealer, and they said they couldn't find anything wrong,but on the paper work it stated that the cause was a software issue , 108 inspect and flash pcm to latest software version.i took it home, and it has done it 5 more times , 3 times in one afternoon. I have taken it to the dealer twice for the same stallingproblem,and they told me that they have done all the they could.we have refraimedfromdrivingthe 1994 vehicle because we no longer felt safe driving it.
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.
About 1 year ago as i was driving along interstate 95 the instrument needles all went to 0 or far left then went back to normal immediately.as time went on this occurred more frequently. About six months later as i was driving at night the needles dropped off and the head lights went off and stayed off until i switched from the auto position to the manual on position.the next time it happened i was at a stop light and the car cut off in the middle of the road.i called a police officer because i thought i might get rear-ended.after about 5 minutes the car started but ran rough.just this past weekend while driving at night in a parking lot the needles dropped off, the headlights went out, and the brakes malfunctioned.
I was going down the high way and the car just shut off and then came back on like nothing happen they really need to recall this and it a hemi 5.7 daytona.
As i was driving across the desert on i-10 in arizona,all of a sudden my car lost all engine power.the lights on the dash chimed, my rpms dropped to zero, then just as suddenly they all went right back to normal and the engine jerked us forward as the tranny figured out what gear it belonged in.it started like that, only happening on occasion.now, i can't make it more than 1-2 miles (literally) without stalling out or losing engine fire.if it happens when i'm at a low mph the car just stalls out and died.no power steering or brakes, but the lights and radio are working.on the hwy at higher speeds, it lurches as described above.on the on-ramp, however, it becomes a life or death situation, especially when starting on a downhill ramp with a big rig wailing up behind me.i have been missed by truly only inches on multipleoccasions.i can't afford a new car, they can't find what's wrong with mine, and i can't sell a vehicle that won't make it for a test drive.can we please get a fix?answers?wasn't it my tax dollars that bought this company out of bankruptcy?
While driving in traffic at 55 mph engine would shut off and restart without turning the key. Took to dealership could not find anything. While driving off the lot vehicle stalled and started back up again without turning the key. Dealership had it for two weeks. Felt that after market starter was causing the issue. Doing it again 3 months later while driving would shut off but now you must pull over and physically turn the key to restart. Will do it at any speed.
While was trying to turn into parking spot my charger suddenly died. When turned the car back on was able to start right back up. This has been happening more when tryong to turn the wheel all the way from a stop position or moving. Have almost been hit a few times when it just stops
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!
I just finished refueling almost to full. Vehicle started perfectly. Drove approximately 2 blocks at 15 mph when the vehicle suddenly stalled and shut off. It took 3 attempts to restart. I drove approximately 4 more blocks at 15 mphwhen the vehicle suddenly stalled and shut off again. I had the vehicle towed to the repair shop that i use. The mechanic at the shop drove the vehicle. The vehicle stalled and shut off 2 times while the mechanic drove it. Vehicle was scanned for codes. No codes were displayed. The mechanic cleaned out the throttle body. Vehicle has been operating perfect since that time. One other note. One month prior, with 3/4 tank of fuel, fuel gauge suddenly dropped to empty and chiming sound began ringing for approximately 10 seconds. Vehicle did not stall or shut off. Fuel gauge then suddenly returned to 3/4 full and chiming sound stopped ringing.
We where driving down the road and the cajust cut off in the middle of the road.
Please help me prevent accidents and/or fatalities that will result from chrysler's refusal to address a dangerous situation.recently my 2006 dodge charger began stalling, numerous time, with the steering locking sometimes at a high rate of speed on a busy highway.a potentially disastrous situation for everyone on the road.my car's been towed to the dealer three times and the problem remains a mystery to the technicians.they've changed the powertrain control module (pcm), with no change.the car continues to intermittently register 'lost comm with the pcm' diagnostic trouble codes.at times the car performs flawless, and other times it stalls and won't restart sometimes for days.after much research i have found that this is a recurring problem with chargers, old and new, and one that many other owners suffer.a chrysler rep told me they were aware of a stall problem, but said that since they don't know the exact cause, there is nothing they will do unless the customer pays for expensive and experimental diagnoses.why is it up to the consumer to find a known problem that could kill motorists?when do they intend to address it?after a family is wiped out?this is a disaster waiting to happen.and a preventable one if we can convince chrysler to address the problem and affect a recall to fix it.chrysler's disregard for the american consumer at the very least, and toward the public at large at most, is alarming.i cannot fathom how an american corporation these days can so brashly turn a blind eye to a known and potentially dangerous situation.while coverup might be a strong word to apply this early in the game, lets not let it get to that point.please help me fix this.thank you again for your time, and keep fighting the good fight.
While driving from point a to point b approximately 17 miles, this vehicle stalled 7 times. Mostly stalling while at a light it has increased to while driving as well. One time specific in the middle of an intersection causing a back up in traffic and near accident. While understanding this issue has mainly been investigated and reported after fill up, this instance is not. This is a daily issue that demands attention. Mechanical techs cannot figure out what the problem is even after replacing the engine and transmission. According to my research this apparently has happen enough without resolution but how many close calls are going to turn to fatalities before something is done? it shouldn't have to come to injuries or worse for this common problem to be resolved. Thank you for your time.
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.
The vehicle will stall at a stop sign or stop light.the lights will flicker and the gauges will go to the max amounts and then back to zero.the car restarts and runs fine after this happens, but it keeps reoccurring.
While waiting at a red light yesterday afternoon, the car simply died while in drive for no apparent reason.once i got it re-started, the transmission violently shifted into drive from park.unable to duplicate since then.
Car will stall at idle or when starting to accelerate car will cut off by it self and then restart.
We were driving on the freeway and we slowed down for traffic. We were going about 25 miles an hour when we got hit from behind. The car was going 40 to 50 miles an hour. The whole dash - stereo and etc came apart but neither the driver or passenger airbag deployed?? i just bought the car from a dealership in september 2013 so everything should have been in working order.
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.
Transmission and car computer are not working together properly, making the transmission shut off as i drive the car. Can happen at a red light, in the highway, even when it's parked. Brought it to several mechanics no one could fix it. Called the dealership and they claim no open recall but yet the car only has 89k miles. Was built wrong off the line if you ask me.
While driving approximately 60 m.p.h. On the freeway, all engine lights came on and the needles all dropped. They quickly returned to normal and the engine did not falter, radio did not go off, etc. This has happened several times over the course of 2 months and i took it to the station where they could find nothing wrong. About 2 months later, the headlights began to flicker on and off, sometimes for 10 seconds or more. This has been happening for about 4 days.i checked all the fuses and they appear secure. The car is currently back at the station to be checked again. As it is december, i can't be without headlights on my morning and evening commute to/from work.
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.
2006 dodge charger r/t daytona.i noticed a lurch in the vehicle yesterday as i was coming home from work as well as the speakers turning off/on.this morning as the vehicle was idling at a stop light, the dashboard turned off, vehicle chimed and all gauges went to zero, but the vehicle was still running and was able to accelerate without displaying any indication on gauges.after about 10-15 seconds, gauges returned to normal as if the vehicle had restarted.happened twice within 20 min while vehicle was idling in traffic. Never did it seem that the engine had shut down.
I own a 2006 charger 3.5l. I am the second owner. My experience with this car's system issues began around 31k miles while still under warranty and has continued until even recently.the consensus among repair facilities is that it could likely be the computer unit with the secondary concern being the poor wiring harnesses that dodge is known for. The issues are as follows:- all dash lights come on without warning and flash continuously for 10-15 seconds or so and then go out again- various speeds- all instrument needles begin to sweep back and forth like windshield wipers- sometimes the car will act like its stalling but sputters along nevertheless until i turn it off.when i turn it right back on it doesn't do it- this happens sometimes when i pull into the garage and it sits in idle.- sometimes all dash lights just go out without warning- various speeds- recently (4-20-11) all dash lights came on, key chime kept chiming and engine began to falter and would not allow acceleration...at all.i have taken the charger and my concerns to the local dodge dealer several times over the first 3 years (out of business now, in the chrysler reorganization) and was told each time: "there is nothing wrong; we can't duplicate what you are telling us. And i wasn't to worry about it.i have strongly voiced my concern about this issue telling dodge that a computer failure out of warranty is very costly, but they referred me to chrysler corporate, who essentially in so many words just blew me off.this kind of disrespect for a customer with, at that time, an enforceable warranty is disgraceful, and i hope you will hold them accountable for what appears to be a rather common occurrence among charger owners.i found this website by accident otherwise i would be part of the greater masses of charger owners that have not been accounted for in what should become a recall (and financial restitution if i have to get it fixed on my own before the recall) action by the government.
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.
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.
Engine shuts off while driving
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.
The car will shut off randomly, the error code keeps pointing back to the ecm and i have had that replaced now it is doing it again and there is no warning when it happens on the freeway it jolts like it wants to shutoff but it doesn't the rpm's go down and it revs back up,it started just with it having the rpm's go down and rev back up randomly and its been happening for 2 years now it just shuts off and starts back up immediately but sometimes ill drive a couple feet and it will die again. It has been in and out of the shop for the last 8 months. They have sent the computer back to have it analysed and to repair the new one i got now. When driving it also shuts off and then just starts up back by itself. I see this everywhere on the internet and forums, some say ecm needs to be replaced other say the fuel tank and the other says something about the key fob not recognizing the key. I want this investigated and a recall to be issued. From everyone i have spoken to every single 2006 dodge charger has this problem with the 5.7 lt with the hemi.
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.
I was traveling on the highway and my car stalled and had to coast to the shoulder in august 2012.this again happened may 2013.the last incident occurred september 21st pulling out of a parking lot.the car started back up after each occasion.
When traveling at hwy. Speed the car loses power and shuts off and back on by itself. If im stopped at a red light and it does it i have to put it in park and crank it back up but then it takes a 10-15 seconds before it will go into gear. The problem use to happen once or twice in a day and then it may be 2 weeks before it would happen again. Now the car is not drivable as it does this constant. I got a new front control module and drove it about 20 miles and it started again.
I was driving my vehicle and it started smoking i pulled over . Called mechanic had it towed to the shop where he later told me the motor was blown . Second incident there's a beeping sound and all my gauges keeping going crazy on me .third incident that pink piece inside the gear shift actual was stuck and came lose so it was removed and the car is able to be put into gear .
Car shuts down completely while driving. Check engine light comes on along with a red lighting bolt. Went to dodge dealership & they ran diagnostics no code came up. They did replace fuel tank from a previous recall. Got car back & immediately stalled again. Carried car back & they ran diagnostic while driving & code came up to replace computer. Replaced & programmed computer & car is still doing it. Dodge states that they do not know what the problem is.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 15 mph and approaching a stop sign, the headlights flashed off and on and a pop sound emitted from the brake pedal. The contact attempted to accelerate, but an abnormal sound emitted from the rear tires and smoke appeared. Also, the abs light illuminated and the power steering and power brakes failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
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 thefuel 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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the key was difficult to turn over to start the vehicle and there was an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle when attempting to start. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled several times. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The failure was intermittent. The failure mileage was not available.
While attempting to accelerate the car will fail hesitate in the 5.7l hemi.also the check engine light flashes and the notification sounds beeps.check engine light does not remain on.failure to accelerate in any circumstances can result in collision including serious bodily injury or death.upon doing research (you can google this easily) this is a common problem associated with the powertrain control module which dodge has refused to acknowledge.this defective part/programming is most definitely not general wear and tear and should be a mandated recall prior to injury/death.
I got off work started car put on seat belt. Put foot on brake and tried to move gear shift it wouldnt move out of park. There are so many complaints of this issue.
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.
My car's engine stalls without warning while driving. I had problems with this when i bought the car within the same week from a used car dealer. It now affects my headlights by making them flash on and off while driving. The car has been in and out of the shop for the past year and no one can seem to find the issue. There is a past time device installed which interfered with the security system. The dealership took out the security system and shortly thereafter the engine stalls began. Engine stallsoccur while driving or stopped at traffic lights. It happens randomly but not often. The headlights happen everyday and is getting worse. The vehicle is becoming undrivable but no service tech can find the issue.
I was driving my car on 1/1/2015 and it just cut off and wouldn't crank back, i was glad i was turning on my street, and the back right e- brakes came apart and tore up, when i also make a right or left turn the steering section makes a funny noise, and the engine light will not cut off. I am on disability and receive very low income of $721 and i am taking care of two children out of that and i am 59 years old, so can you all please help me get my car back on the road, please.
1-fuel system after filling up will choke itself out at slow speeds or idling-2-engine cuts out going 40-80 mph jerks and cuts off and back on sometimes engine light comes on and other times not 3- issues with turning car completely off have to put back into gear then park again to turn off4- at times when putting into park my brake light comes on.i thought i did good on this car but now i'm beginning to think i'm in over my head all of this happens on average every other day. One or all things happen intermediate.
" takata recall" bought my 2006 dodge charger last march had it for 3 days the engine blew. Replaced the engine with a v6 2008 2.7 with only 57000 . About 6 months after started to get the lightning bolt .then stalling with the lightning bolt while driving 55mph on the highway and in the city it also does it at stop signs and sometimes wont start back right away.. I have no codes no check engine light no warning. My dash lights and head lights flicker especially while driving. We tried everything to fix this i'm very scared to drive my car anywheres.. Please help figure out whats going on with these problems. We already replaced the computer, gas pedal,sensors and the engine. Mileage on the body 260000 on the second engine 63000.
In july 2011 i brought my 2006 charger sxt to the dealer for a rear harness (the one from the fuse block to the brain box)replacement due to a gator aid incident (another story) it was replaced due to the instrument cluster gauges going to zero while driving and all the dummie lights coming on with acceleration diminishing. Now the problem is back. I really don't want it to happen while i'm on the freeway and a semi coming down on me. While researching this issue it seems that i'm not the only one with this problem. Is dodge going to wait on a few major accidents to happen before this issue is cleared or is big money more important than saving somebody's life.
Traveling i-5 at 65 mph when the car lost all power.no response in gas pedal, engine stuttered. Pulled off freeway and put it in park and turned the car off. Waited for around 10 -20 seconds then restarted the vehicle.then all power and driveability came back.this is the 5th time this has happened for this car and becoming more frequently.took the vehicle in to have it put on a diagnosis.code is p0016.crank shaft position, cam shaft position correlation/bank 1 sensor a. Also code p0128. Thermostat rationality test.
I turned my ignition key to start the vehicle and heard an explosion in the rear of the vehicle. I opened my trunk with the key because the vehicle lost all electrical power. I discovered that the battery had exploded and sprayed battery acid in the trunk area. The trunk was filled with white smoke and smelled like chemicals. My property inside the passenger compartment also had a strong chemical odor to it. After looking at the battery, it appeared to have exploded from the rear and the main thing that kept it from sending acid soaked debris was the nylon strap that holds the battery in place. I am worried that the entire interior of my vehicle is now coated with acid fumes/powder from the explosion. I spoke with huntington beach dodge and they said i was responsible for all costs of repairs because the battery only has a 12 month/12k mile warranty. I understand that a battery goes dead, but i do not understand a battery exploding! my 2 children were not in the back seat at the time of the explosion, but what could have been the injury to my kids if they were there? battery acid in the face and eyes, acid soaked debris striking them or hearing loss from the explosion? i don't feel comfortable with driving the vehicle or having my children in it. Mcpeek dodge in anaheim replaced the battery and cleaned the trunk at a cost of $250.00 (20% discount they said), but stated that they were unable to determine the reason for the incident.
I have a 2006 dodge charger that shuts off while driving. Vehicle has 97284 miles.i currently have the vehicle in for repair at phillips chrysler dodge jeep in ocala fl.thepcm has been replaced but this issue still continues. Vehicle shuts off with out warning while driving.
I was driving at night and my car lights went out. The car just died on me in the middle of the street. This car is not safe to drive. Dodge should fix this issue before someone is killed.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.the contact stated that all of the components related to the instrument panel, such as the air conditioner, steering column controls, and phone system worked intermittently.the dealer was unable to diagnose the failure; however, they replaced the steering column switch, clock spring, wiring harness, head unit, amplifier, and radio.the contact stated that the failure worsened after the replacements.the manufacturer stated that they would replace the vehicle in july of 2007.as of november 13, 2007, the manufacturer had not replaced the vehicle.the failure mileage was 2,000 and current mileage was 7,700.
The alarm system failure. The car would not start. So i had to contact aaa and send a tow truck out. Soon as the towtruck driver came out he sd it is the alarm system, even before we told him the problem. He sd that he have had a few dodge chargers towed with the same problem. So nw i have to see if dodge will fix it . But the problem is that i bought it used,and it is over 50k miles. So i have to find out if dodge will check it out for free and fix the problem or do i have to take it back to the dealership where i bought it from which was not a dodge dealership.
While driving in traffic at 55 mph engine would shut off and restart without turning the key. Took to dealership could not find anything. While driving off the lot vehicle stalled and started back up again without turning the key. Dealership had it for two weeks. Felt that after market starter was causing the issue. Doing it again 3 months later while driving would shut off but now you must pull over and physically turn the key to restart. Will do it at any speed.
Purchased july 14, 2006.it ran great with no problems until july 26.i went to take a left out of my company's parking lot and the car sputtered and would accelerate fast.i had to pull off on the left side of the road to get out of the way of oncoming traffic.i put it in neutral and gave it some gas.i attempted to go again when the traffic was clear and it sputtered more until i gave it a lot of gas and then it drove fine.i though it was an isolated incident so i drove it home.that night my wife, son and i took the car to the mall.upon leaving the mall it did it again and the engine light was on.the dealership was still open and close by so i drove it directly there.they gave me a loaner to drive while they attempted to fix it.on august 9, they gave the vehicle back to me.that night it did it again, except the vehicle actually died on me in the middle of traffic.the next day it was back to the dealer where is sat for 37 days while they tried to figure out what was wrong.they replaced all the oxygen sensors, the power control module, the wiring harnesses and i am sure there were some other things.they test drove it for 9 key cycles and 250 miles and were 98% confident they fixed it so i got the car back on september 15.the next day the same problem returned and i was 50 miles from home and this time the idling of the car was so rough that the car was visibly shaking.i had a friend follow me home and since it was a saturday night, the dealership was not open and would not be until monday.monday morning i started the car up and let it idle 5 minutes before leaving.when i got in, it was idling rough again and the engine light was flashing.i shut it down, called a tow truck and it is back at the dealership where it will stay because i am not taking it back.i have requested vehicle replacement from chrysler and the dealership.now here i am 5 days later and there is still no answer as to when i will get a new vehicle.
While driving the car will cut off . The lights have flickered off and on. The room needle goes down likes is cutting off and then goes back up. I have the charger 2006 rt police package.this has happen while driving,turning at corner, and sitting at the light. These issues have been going on for the last 6 months.
My car motor blew out of no where in the middle of me driving it. It was being well maintained up until this happened too. Anything that could of caused this?

Car will shut off going 45 mph, at a stop light (0 mph)or when crossing traffic intersections for examples (at most going 10 or 15 mph). I will attempt to restart and the car will start up, stall up and then shut off again - when this happens, i lose power steering. I have to switch gears from drive to park and then turn the car off and then on again in hopes it will start.as you're driving, you can feel when the car is about to cut off, it throttles ahead a bit and revs, then the car beeps and turns off, while the gear is in drive and turning my wheel does nothing. I notice that this issue would usually happen after a fill up my gas tank, so i started only filling up halfway ,but the issue still persists.this issue became heavily frequent yesterday where the car stalled and cut off at least 4 different times while making a 7 mile drive back home. This was very very scary in my eyes, especially with a passenger in my seat.this is a huge safety concern because the vehicle is shutting off while in motion and powering steering is lost. If this happens on the highway going 60+ miles per hour, or turning into oncoming traffic, there is a guaranteed accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.i believe there is an issue with the gas tank and the evap canister that causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling the engine, which shuts off the car. This was filed under nhtsa pe13-016 (which appears to be closed or inaccessible- https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/documentlist.xhtml?docid=pe13016&doctype=inv). This safety concern really needs to be looked into.
Traction control, stability control and brake assist quite working with no notice. Warning lights come ondash and go out not setting trouble code till completely stopped working.
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 company should pay for the repairs to correct his issue. A recall needs to be issued immediately!
Power shuts off randomly, stalling, acceleration lost, but will fire right back up if you flip the key around or put in neutral. Very unsafe if traffic coming and it shuts right down. Also while in park it's shuts off
The abs, brake and traction control lights came on. Then when you hit the brakes you would feel a vibration. The brakes do not vibrate any more but all the lights are still on. There was a recall for the 2007 charger for this butnot the 2006.
My car's engine stalls without warning while driving. I had problems with this when i bought the car within the same week from a used car dealer.

There is now an investigation ongoing but until then many owners have to deal with this problem or go without their vehicle.

The vehicle will stall at a stop sign or stop light.the lights will flicker and the gauges will go to the max amounts and then back to zero.the car restarts and runs fine after this happens, but it keeps reoccurring.
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.
The car will shut off randomly, the error code keeps pointing back to the ecm and i have had that replaced now it is doing it again and there is no warning when it happens on the freeway it jolts like it wants to shutoff but it doesn't the rpm's go down and it revs back up,it started just with it having the rpm's go down and rev back up randomly and its been happening for 2 years now it just shuts off and starts back up immediately but sometimes ill drive a couple feet and it will die again. It has been in and out of the shop for the last 8 months. They have sent the computer back to have it analysed and to repair the new one i got now. When driving it also shuts off and then just starts up back by itself. I see this everywhere on the internet and forums, some say ecm needs to be replaced other say the fuel tank and the other says something about the key fob not recognizing the key. I want this investigated and a recall to be issued. From everyone i have spoken to every single 2006 dodge charger has this problem with the 5.7 lt with the hemi.
When i fully fill and top off my gas tank the car stalls and sputters. I know i am not the only one having this problem as i have seen people complaining online. My car is a dodge charger rt 2006. This is unsafe and there should be an immediate recall the fix the vapor canister and the gas tank. It might be expensive but if your car is on the highway going 60 mph and power steering fails when you're driving it could be fatal. Fix this immediately.
While was trying to turn into parking spot my charger suddenly died. When turned the car back on was able to start right back up. This has been happening more when tryong to turn the wheel all the way from a stop position or moving. Have almost been hit a few times when it just stops
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, abs, traction control & electrical light was on. I tried restarting it and it started and drove like nothing had happened, even the lights were no longer on. 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. Since the first incident it has happened at lease 10 more times. 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. Many have said that it happened after refueling their car, for me it has happened a couple of times after refueling, but multiple times while it was at 1/2 and 1/4 tank. 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 company should pay for the repairs to correct his issue. A recall needs to be issued immediately!
We where driving down the road and the cajust cut off in the middle of the road.
I drove my charger out to lunch, was running impeccable, after having my meal, we got back in the car, tried starting it, it sounded like a hard, difficult start and once it ignited the cylinders, the engine started making horrible banging noises, and killed itself. There was no warning, no overheating, my car has 88,000 miles on it. I've always taken extremely good care of it, as i should know how to being a mechanic. I pulled the motor out of the car, and opened it up to find a destroyed combustion chamber, and a destroyed piston. There are much more unreliable cars out there that can make it past 88,000 miles without severe engine damage. So does that make dodge the most unreliable manufacturer? if dodge does not assist in fixing the problem (a partial refund to help cover the massive cost) i will never be buying another dodge.uploaded is a picture looking down the intake port of the drivers side 6th cylinder. The other picture is of the piston damage.this is an rt car with 5.7 hemi.
We purchased a 2006 dodge charger 3.5l from a local dealership with around 63,000 miles. They filled the tank up before we left. Other than the customary lap around town with the "new" car, i didn't drive it for two days. I drove the car 70 miles to another town for an appointment with no issues.when i went to leave my appointment, i started the car and attempted to back out of my parking spot. The car died as soon as i placed it in reverse. I put the car back in park, restarted and tried to shift to reverse again. The car died again and the check engine light was on. I attempted the same process again and it died yet again. I thought of revving the engine while reversing to get the car to move, but i didn't do it because of safety issues. I was blindly backing into a street and didn't want to get involved in an accident.my brother happens to work in the same town i was in. He came to help. I stood in the street to block traffic. He revved up the engine (two footed the brake and gas) and managed to back it into the street. The check engine light was still on.i two footed the car the 70 miles back to the dealership i had purchased it from. The dealership i purchased the car from sent it to a dodge dealership. The dealership says that there is nothing wrong with my car and that they couldn't replicate the engine dying. They stated that i was driving with the parking/emergency brake on. I never use my parking brake (all my cars have been automatics). My parking brake was not on at any time.my brother stated the parking brake was not on.this is a major safety issue and i am not satisfied with how the dealership handled it. I could not drive my car out of a parking space. What if it had died in the road when i had to stop at lights or for other vehicles turning in front of me?i found similar complaints from other dodge owners online. See investigation pe 13-016.
After filling up with gascar will either stall right awayor sometimes aftera few mileswhen car stallsloose power steering and brakesmaking for a very dangerous situation.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving 50 mph, the vehicle jerked followed by the illumination of the oil light. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnosis where it was stated that the motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 180,000.
So my car began to stall after filling it up with gas. Most of the time it stalled while stopped. A few times while in motion. Since the car dies i have lost power steering.
As i was driving across the desert on i-10 in arizona,all of a sudden my car lost all engine power.the lights on the dash chimed, my rpms dropped to zero, then just as suddenly they all went right back to normal and the engine jerked us forward as the tranny figured out what gear it belonged in.it started like that, only happening on occasion.now, i can't make it more than 1-2 miles (literally) without stalling out or losing engine fire.if it happens when i'm at a low mph the car just stalls out and died.no power steering or brakes, but the lights and radio are working.on the hwy at higher speeds, it lurches as described above.on the on-ramp, however, it becomes a life or death situation, especially when starting on a downhill ramp with a big rig wailing up behind me.i have been missed by truly only inches on multipleoccasions.i can't afford a new car, they can't find what's wrong with mine, and i can't sell a vehicle that won't make it for a test drive.can we please get a fix?answers?wasn't it my tax dollars that bought this company out of bankruptcy?

System failure when vehicle is at stand still or low speed. The vehicle will completely shut off. The vehicle immediately starts up again. Have had a authorized dealership diagnose the problem with no diagnostic.
2004 to 2008 jeep dodge chrystler 5.7 hemi motors are prone to dropping valve seats which in turn shoot fragments of metal throughout destroying the motor.this is a well known defect with numerous documentaion online.the destruction of the motor can occur while driving or on first start up.the cost to replace the motor can range from 5,000 to 7,000 in repair cost to the consumer.
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.
Vehicle stalls and kills after refueling.it happens before even leaving the pump and/or once driving has started. It takes a few miles or some time before it's normal again. If it's sitting idle, you can hear it struggling before a burst in rpm's leading to a stall. Sometimes it starts right back up. Sometimes it doesn't for a while.
After fueling vehicle drove approximately .25 mi and vehicle stalled.attempted to restart vehicle and after a couple tries was able to restart and move to a safe location.vehicle stayed running until i went to back out and then stalled again.i let car sit for a bit and was able to drive it home safely.took to a shop the next day where they could not find any codes stating an issue.car seems to be running fine for now, but i am fearful of when this will happen again.
While merging onto the interstate my engine shut completely off; i lost power steering and all throttle control.after pulling onto the side of the road i was able to turn the ignition on and drive away like normal. I have a 5.7l hemi and the car has 37,700 miles.
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, onhighway 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.
The car suddenly stalled and engine turned off. The steering was locked and was unable to move. I was turning into my subdivision when suddenly this happened. I was probably around 5 mph. Luckily there was no car behind me. I was able to put the car in park and start it and drive home without issue. The second time it got stalled when the same day i had to take my son to one of his class. When i was stopped at the light, the car stalled. This time it took few tries to get the car started. Once it started, the rpm was fluctuating as if it was starving for fuel. Since other complains have references to this happening after filling up gas, i want to mentioned that i had filled the gas the day before and i must have drove 20 or so miles before this happened first time.
Valve seat dropped in the #6 cylinder destroying the engine. Needs to be completely overhauled. After doing some research on the matter, i found that it's a common problem.
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.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that after replacing the battery, the vehicle continuously stalled with the illumination of the throttle warning light. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician was unable to find a failure. The manufacture was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 110,000 and the current mileage was 140,000.
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).
After refueling, the car stalled upon moderate acceleration. I thought it was a one time issue, but took it to a dodge dealership after the third incident. They could find nothing wrong with the car. After extensive research online, i found that the problem is apparently with a purge solenoid valve that cannot be replaced without the entire gas tank being replaced, as well as the evap canister. The car has been doing this more and more frequently, almost to the point of doing it every fill up. If it doesn't stall when the engine is restarted, it does it randomly within a few minutes of driving. Either while accelerating, or cruising. This is a large safety issue, as my wife drives this car into the city of cincinnati for work, and the car has stalled after she refuels. We are not leaving the engine running during refueling, and we are not topping off the tank. I have done research online and it appears to be happening to several people. This problem has occurred sporadically on multiple occasions, and i have barely avoided crashing a few times when the car stalled while i was turning.the car is a 2006 dodge charger r/t with the 5.7l hemi engine.
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.
Car drove perfectly fine i stopped at family dollar for 5 minutes came out car would not start heard a engine noise towed it home mechanic said he pulled the plugs they were bent from the piston hitting it. Also, the piston had a hole in it i need a new engine no warning signs or nothing.mechanic says he sees this very often on 06 chargers.
My 2006 dodge charger was purchased used in dec 2013.since then it has occasionally lost power when driving.. But after a few seconds restored to normal operating conditions.monday 3/10/14, while driving 55 mph on highway 251 in rockford it began loosing power and stalled completely.. I barely had time to get to the right hand lane curb.it was a busy traffic situation, and i had stalled just before construction zone where traffic was merging to one lane.as i sat against the curb a car was forced over striking my mirror off my car... It could have been much worse.not an exaggeration, i felt my life was greatly jeopardized.the car would not restart and needed towed away.the situation was only safe by a police car polling up behind me until the tow truck came.so far the car service has not found a cause.updated 03/14/14*lj
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 contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 50 mph, the contact noticed a loud clicking noise as the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact was able to restart the engine and noticed that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 63,693.
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.
After fueling my 2006 dodge charger r/t, the car will begin to sputter and completely shut-off. This results in the loss of power steering and having to put the car into park in order to restart. It will occurmultiple times, sometimes while idling, before it will begin to act normally.it has been happening for several months. At first, it was sporadic but now it is everytime i fill up the gas tank. It can be very dangerous as it can happen anytime and without warning.
Driving in all types of conditions, engine randomly overheats. Have replaced thermostat - twice, radiator, heater core, coolant flush - twice, pressure test, radiator hose, water pump. Still overheating and becoming more and more frequent.
During travel from ft. Belvoir, va to fayetteville, nc the car began sputtering and acting like it was out of fuel. It had 3/4 of a tank. Made it to the next exit where the car stopped running. Able to give it throttle and get it started you can hear rattling in the top end of the motor. Had it towed to crown dodge in fayetteville, nc where the diagnosis was a broken valve seat which fell inside the cylinder scarring the cylinder walls. The warranty company would not cover the repair costs on the car. This vehicle is maintained by a mechanic with over 20 years of experience with regular oil changes and preventative maintenance. It is a design flaw where the powdered metal valve seats expand at a different rate than the aluminum head leading to severe engine damage.dodge knows of this problem and fixed their design in the 2010-up models, however has failed the public in compensating those that have had engine failure in 2006-2009 models.
My car have mis fire cylinder 1 it shakes when it cold then after a while it goes away,transmission driving bad out of no where going only 30 miles the fastest in my car stuck in park.
Two years ago i had to replace the engine while driving the car all the lights came on and it lost power while driving at approximately 40 mph. Yesterday while on the highway going 65 mph the car lost power. This is very unsafe especially on the highway.
My 2006 dodge charger stalled on multiple occasions without any warning. Usually when i fill the gas tank.the car just stops in the middle of the road.i can restart the car but it will happen atleast 5 or 6 more times after.i use the book recommended level of gas at two different reputable gas stations, with the thought that it was bad gas.i dropped off my car to my local dodge dealership and it cost me $130.35 for them to just look for the problem.they said that it is the "roll over valve" and it would cost over $1200.00 to fix!
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, ilyesterday andtold 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.
After refueling engine stumbles and then stalls. This happens every time after refueling. Often multiple times. Power steering and brakes are inoperable after stall.this is an alarming and dangerous situation.
After fueling vehicle, the engine died within half mile on road.put car in neutral to start engine, drove another 1-2 miles where car stalled and died again.has happened after filling up car and only with full tank, stalling occurs within 0-15 miles, then does not stall.have read several posting and discussions about this issue with same model/year cars.heard about possible investigation for faulty fuel/vapor separator valve with cuts off fuel to engine and causes engine to stall.had this happened to a driver who did not know how to react properly, or had a distracted driver not see my car stalled or stopped, this could have resulted in a serious problem.i had no power steering or power brakes and was not able to immediately restart vehicle in traffic, after momentary loss of power and finally able to restart the engine was i able to maneuver off the roadway safely.
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.
I was driving home one day . I was going 55 and then all of a sudden i hear a pop inside the engine while i'm driving. After that day, the engine started making a ticking/knocking noise. It started getting worse and worse. I don't drive my car anymore because when i drive it, the engine heats up really fast and the car shakes along with the ticking/knocking noise. I did some research on the ticking/knocking noise on a 2006 dodge charger 3.5l v6 engine and a lot of results came up with many people having the same problem on their 2006 dodge charger 3.5l v6 engine.i would really appreciate it if you started an investigation on this situation considering that it has happened to hundreds of people in different places. Please really look into it, thank you.
After refilling the gas tank, the engine stalled several times with "bucking".the tank was not overfilled.after about 5 miles and several stalls, the condition went away and did not reoccur until i gassed up at a different station two weeks later.again the tank was not overfilled. Internet search indicates that this is being investigated as pe13-016.prior to this there has been no similar incidents.others have had similar issues.
My car has stalled 3 separate times right after i have re-fueled. When driving away from the gas station and onto the street it has sputtered and then turned off in the middle of the street. My vehicle will constantly turn off making it unsafe to drive it. I have once been in the middle of the intersection when my vehicle stalled, i am lucky i was not struck by another vehicle.but as you can see it is extremely dangerous having this happen when driving.
Stopped for gas on rt 9 in new jersey filledtank got back on highway was doing 50mph when carstalled almost got hit by traffic close call started rite up again kept stalling. Got to side of road car started rite up but trying to merge on hi way was scary. Finally got back on highway ..just thought was bad gas. Next week got gas in different gas staton kept stalling again....using computer found out other people having same problem.gas cant be filled ..from that time i was buying lower amounts of gas. Car was ok..discovered the car can never be filled up. Changed gas cap same problem . I found out its a dodge charger problem it will cost me $2,000 to change filler tube and gas tank but no warranties dodge will not fix problem.
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.
The car stalled a number of times in traffic. I had just filled the tank.
Driving about 60 mph on highway.noticed it was driving rough.took it to my friends house where it started smoking.parked it and had it towed to shop.they say piston #4 broke, cylinder is shot, needs new engine.
My dodge charger cuts off while driving or while sitting at stop lights. I am able to start up again but then it shuts off at the next stop light or while driving on the interstate. There is no trouble codes or check engine lights.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving at any speed, the check engine warning light remained illuminated. The failure recurred daily. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, two months after the repair, the failure recurred and the engine was replaced a second occasion but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 105,152.
Engine stalls after refueling. Usually at idle but has stalled while moving rendering power steering inoperative. Common to pe 13-016 nhtsa.
Vehicle began to misfire and then stalled approximately 1/4 mile after filling fuel tank.this has happened multiple times and is occurring more frequently.this is a serious safety issue since vehicle stopped in the middle of an intersection and almost caused an accident.was able to restart the car and continue to destination.online forums attribute the cause to a faulty vapor purge valve/evap canister and requires fuel tank replacement.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving on the freeway at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the failure occurred every time the vehicle was refueled. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the throttle body and the power control module failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 168,000.
The engine died just after fuel fill-up when i was leaving the lot and getting onto the street.while filling the tank, the pump stopped as if the tank was full, but wheni got in the car after fill-up, the gas gauge read only 3/4 full.when the engine died, there was traffic behind me and traffic ahead. I could have been in an accident or caused one.i shifted to neutral, and coasted and re-started the car.this is completely unacceptable.it is dangerous for me, for my family, for my wife when she is driving,as well as the motorists around me.
After filling up with fuel, car died at a stop light. Restarted with no issue, but then stalled again in the intersection. While in the second stall, almost rear-ended by another driver. Car started again with no issue. Third stall at another stop light and then restarted and drove fine until the next fuel fill up.
After filling the car with gas, and driving approximately 1 to 2 miles, the car stalled after making a left turn and starting to accelerate. I was able to restart the car and drive home.the next day the car acted like it was going to stall again after making a turn and starting to accelerate, but it didn't. This problem started in december of 2012 when the car had about 40000 miles on it. After researching the problem on the internet, i stopped topping off the gas tank and the problem did not re-occur until october 2013.i am concerned that the problem is getting worse and even if i don't fill the gas tank, the car will stall after driving it a few miles.fortunately, every time the car stalled i was turning on to a quiet street with little traffic, but this is a very dangerous problem that requires a recall from dodge.
Initially, after refueling my vehicle (2006 dodge charger r/t with 5.7l hemi) at a gas station, the engine would hesitate and stumble a mile or so later, and operate normally after a few moments. However, beginning within the last month, whenever i refuel at the gas station, the engine will hesitate and then stall.the obd does not illuminate the mil or register a dtc. The engine is then hard to restart, and once restarted and the transmission in drive, the vehicle will not begin to move immediately upon pressing on the accelerator, as if the transmission is in park or neutral. The stalling happens when pulling out of the gas station, when stopped and idling, and has happened when driving in traffic. This problem has resulted in several near collisions as the unexpected loss of power happens when pulling into traffic and while driving. This condition continues for several minutes and miles. I have gotten into the practice of refueling and driving straight home to park the car overnight, as it seems to drive better given time to sit after refueling.
After filling car with gas the engine stalls multiple times for the first few miles.this has happened to me a few hundred times over the years,i have almost been t boned and rear ended multiple times due to this defect. I try not to fill the tank but it happens even if gas is close to the fill mark.
My car from work like any normal night when all of sudden my car shut off and would not start back up. Eventually i called my insurance to have it towed home since after 11pm. The next morning i have my car towed to dodge to be informed that engine had blown. My car gave me no indication or signs at all before this happen. The dealership informed me that the engine was blown due oil sludge. I very angry especially since dodge only changed my oil and was not told about this earlier. My cousin has dodge charger as well and engine blown 8 months before mine for the same reason. When i told this to the dealership they told me i shouldn't believe everything i hear. I will never buy a car from dodge again.
My car will stall intermittently for the first 2-3 days after i fill the fuel tank. Usually at a stop, but it has happened at highway speeds twice.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while attempting to start the vehicle, a loud clicking noise could be heard as the vehicle stalled. The contact was unable to restart the vehicle. The vehicle was towed to a private mechanic where it was found that the engine failed.the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.
Multiple times in the last month when i have refueled, the vehicle is difficult to start and then runs extremely rough and usually dies on the road once or twice.the engine seems to rumble and shakes the vehicle and then after a short period of driving it seems to go away.the engine light blinks on and off while this situation is happening. My mechanic has looked the problem over twice and cannot seem to determine what needs to be done to correct the problem.he has been in contact with dodge/chrysler and they indicate no other reported problems.the mechanic is still checking but seems to remember changing a fuel tank on a charger in the past that was having an engine problem and it corrected the problem.he is rechecking his files to find that repair job.last night my vehicle died twice in my driveway (with less than half a tank of gas) and i consider it unsafe to drive at this point.anyone want to buy a used 2006 charger (hemi)??? it will be sitting in my driveway.

Driving at 65 mph on the freeway, the vehicle began to shudder/ hesitate, there was so much white smoke from my vehicle that i could not see anything behind me in my rear view mirror. I had to have the vehicle loaded onto a flat bed tow truck. The number 3 valve seat had dropped out and smashed holes in the piston, the debris had pummeled the cylinder head. The debris had then been sucked back into the inlet manifold, the debris was deposited into number 1 and 2 cylinders pummeling the head of the pistons and cylinder heads. There were actually shards of metal embedded in the cylinder head. The vehicle is next to worthless at this time. The vehicle is a limited addition daytona and cost about $35k new. I have been dealing with dodge for more than a year as this is a design fault and appears to be quite common. Dodge refuses to do anything about it. I spoke to an executive of dodge with the title of head of top care customer care for fiat chrysler automobiles on 4/9/2015, her statement "you should not expect much more than 100,000 miles from any vehicle". Really wants you to go and buy a chrysler product, i have owned 5 of their vehicles in 15 years, never again.
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!!!!!!!!!
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.
After filling with gas the engine stalled and died. It has continued to do this every time the tank is filled.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving 60 mph, the engine would shut off. The eas code indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who found a manufacturer recall pertaining to the fuel tank. The contact did not receive a recall notification. The manufacturer stated that they could not assist since the vehicle was too old. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled after fuel was added to the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to village dodge, inc. (819 ny-66, hudson, ny 12534, (518) 828-1585) and the failure was repaired. The stalling failure had not been resolved. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the vehicle's computer system misread that there was no fuel in the tank. As a result, all the electrical components shut off. The failure mileage was 54,000.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle, which was taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic replaced the spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the plugs for the power control module, and changed the fuel pump relay. The failure recurred after the repairs were performed.the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
This issue relates to pe13-016. My 2006 dodge charger fuel tank cannot be filled to over 3/4 capacity. When it is filled beyond this level, the engine will stall, particularly after making a lh turn. I have been enduring this problem for years and have become fairly adept at re-starting my car in heavy traffic conditions and fortunately have not been involved in any collisions as a result.i understand chrysler negotiated a settlement with nhtsa to treat this as an extended warranty condition before a full blown recall order was issued. However, even though chrysler acknowledges that being a 2006 charger with a 5.7l engine matches all the criteria to be included in the extended warranty, my vehicle's vin is not included on the list of effected vehicles and refuses to correct the problem.there is obvious culpability and chrysler's part and they appear to be hiding behind an administrative technicality to avoid doing what they agreed to do in their settlement of pe13-016 with nhtsa.
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.
1-fuel system after filling up will choke itself out at slow speeds or idling-2-engine cuts out going 40-80 mph jerks and cuts off and back on sometimes engine light comes on and other times not 3- issues with turning car completely off have to put back into gear then park again to turn off4- at times when putting into park my brake light comes on.i thought i did good on this car but now i'm beginning to think i'm in over my head all of this happens on average every other day. One or all things happen intermediate.
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
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.
I filled up with gas in california when on vacation. I pulled out of the gas station and onto the freeway. About a minute after merging and getting up to speed the entire car shut off. No power, no power steering, completely died.i had to merge through two lanes of highway traffic at highway speeds to get out of the flow of traffic. Car was able to restart after putting it in park and waiting several minutes.huge safety concern having the vehicle completely shut off on me. I have had four other instances of this happen to me. The other times i was on side streets or in the parking lot waiting for the car to die.
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...
I was coming home from work and i was going between 50 to 55 mph on the bay bridge and i felt the car shake and then started making a raddleing kind of noise like it was over heating the temputer gage shoot up and then a noise like the air let out of a tire and then my car started smoking and then itcut off and not start up again and when it did start it would cut rite off and this was the 2nd engine and it did the same thing before and the engine is still under warrty. I only had this 2nd engine 2 yrs and 5 mo. And now i need a new engine and ive been online and seeing other people with the same problems with their 2006 dodge charger hemi motors
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
This isn't the 1st time that the engine has stalled after filling the fuel tank.most recent episode happened as i was preparing to enter the gas stations drive-thru car wash...i had my foot on the brake to enter the code for the wash and just as i started to move forward the engine stalled.happened a couple of months ago on the public right of way, i was stoppedat a red light (just after a fuel up and just before i was about to enter the freeway).another time i was in motion and it stalled in the middle of a busy intersection.the stalling affects the transmission.the engine is warm when this occurs.it takes about 3 attempts to successfully restart.
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.
After filling up my dodge charger rt with fuel and topping off, while driving back home the car stalled 3 times "just shut off" the car started right back up. Is this the vapor purge valve on top of the tank?
Drove to a dentist appointment, came out, started car, it made a loud boom then shut down.tried starting again, no bueno, wouldn't start.had it towed to a dodge dealership. They say oil is not going into the pistons. Cylinder is shot, needs new engine.it's been sitting at the shop for over a month now.really...a new engine that's gonna cost me $8,000no warning, no sensors....nothing!just had car service a few months prior
After filling up gas on my dodge charger 2006 rt, the engine stalls and stop while at the traffic stop. Tried to re-start the engine a few times but won't start. 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.
My vehicle shuts off at random times.while i am sitting at a red light it will shut off or while i am waiting for the car to warm up.when i take off the engine will shut off for a brief second. The engine starts up and the car will jerk forward.sometimes when the vehicle shuts off it wont go back into gear and some of the gauges flash.i was left in the middle of an intersection twice when the vehicle shut off.i have taken the vehicle to transmission shops and dealerships and they can't tell me what is wrong with the vehicle.
Fueled the car, car stalled several times while driving.happens each time car is fueled. I have tried fueling slowly, and fueling small amounts, nothing works.car will stall 2-3 times either while sitting or while driving.
My 2006 dodge chargerkeep 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.
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.
Vehicle stalled multiple times while coming to a stop.hard to start after stalling. Just filled the gas tank, and car stalled two or three times getting from the gas station to home.car stalled the next morning three times, again hard to start.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled and all the warning indicators illuminated. The contact had to turn the vehicle off and back on in order for it to resume normal operation. The vehicle was taken to cerritos dodge chrysler jeep ram (18803 studebaker rd cerritos, ca 90703, (888) 879-5229) where it was diagnosed that the spark plugs needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer for additional diagnostic testing, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
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.
On 03/21/2013, at approximately 1830 hours my car would not start for no apparent reason. I had to get my vehicle towed to my house where a mechanic examined the vehicle and observed water leaking into the engine. He stated the car was overheating when the gauge never documented such a thing. He also stated that there is a damaged head gasket and may have additional damage due to the fact that the vehicle is making a "weird" noise and the only way to diagnose any further problems is through taking the engine apart. I don't know how this could happen to a 2006 vehicle. Never purchasing another dodge ever again. This vehicle never gave me any problems and now all this mechanical stuff happened out of the blue. All the fluids and everything has been up to date and no there is no warranty on the vehicle.
I own a 2006 dodge charger r/t with the 5.7 liter hemi engine.i purchased it new in june of 2006 with 5 miles on the odometer.after 6 years of filling up my car by letting the gas pump stop automatically with no issues; the car began to stall right after filling-up when topping off the tank, starting around may of 2012.i called autonation dodge in roseville, california and the service technician was familiar with my issue.he asked if i had filled up the tank by topping it off.i told him, affirmative.he advised me to not top off the tank at all during fill-ups or to buy a new fuel tank at the cost of $2000-3000 with installation.for the past couple of years, i've been lucky to not top off the fuel tank, but it has occurred at least 4 times when i made the mistake of topping off the gas.the last time this occurred was yesterday.after buying gas and having the pump stop automatically, i drove into a major intersection and stopped at the red light.the car turned off, and it took about 3 tries of re-starting the ignition in park before the car luckily powered on again.when my light turned green, the car would jump and lose power while shifting into second and third gears.i was very fortunate to not have any cars behind me, because this issue of the car stalling could cause an accident.this stalling hazard happened again yesterday on my way home and also this morning.i feel chrysler/fiat should replace all effected 2006 dodge charger r/ts with this issue by replacing the tank or whatever repair it would take to fix this safety hazard.i feel that most owners of this vehicle won't be aware of this issue until it happens to them personally.it should be mandatory for chrysler/fiat to issue a recall with all expenses covered by the manufacturer.
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.
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 managedto 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. Iput 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.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds and coming to a complete stop in the vehicle, the vehicle stalled with the check engine light and several other unknown indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be repaired. The vehicle was repaired, however the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where a tune up was performed however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the cam shaft and the sensor had failed and would need to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 92,000.
While driving the vehicle the engine will unexpectedly stop.the event has happened several times.often it occurs after fueling.the vehicle has been into a garage for repair but the problem continues.sometimes when the event occurs the only way to restart the vehicle is to place the vehicle in park, press the accelerator all the way to the floor and turn on the ignition.
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.
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.
First instance was on sunday, 6 may 2012.car stalled after turning onto city street while accelerating to posted speed: 35 mph.if fuel tank is filled to click on gas pump (full tank) this continues to happen, especially in very humid weather conditions/rain.car has also stalled on hills at stop signs or traffic lights and has stalled at on-ramps to local interstate highway/city bypass, given the above full fuel tank issue.if i don't fill the tank above the 7/8 mark on the fuel gage indicator, the car does not stall.if i exceed the 7/8 mark, then the car does stall, multiple times if very humid conditions exist and will continue until the fuel tank is at or below 7/8 capacity.i've had approximately 22 stalls since sunday 6 may 2012.it's inconvenient to have to guess when to stop the fuel pump at gas stations and very frightening to stall in traffic, especially at on-ramps to highways.
Was pulling out of a store onto major road car just died like no fuel or spark has happened multiple times now once with my grandson in car put in neutral and restarted ok for day or so then does it again it really seems to be safety issueis there a recall on this issue i really like the car but safety first also im original owner car still stock.
Every time you fill up the gas tank the car wants to stall. I'm told there is a solenoid in the gas tank that fails and it lets raw fuel go to the evap canister causing a stall condition. This solenoid valve is molded into the gas tank and the only way to fix it is to replace the gas tank. This stall can happen while your sitting at a stop light or just pulling out into an intersection. The intersection situation is very dangerous.
My 2006 dodge charger daytonawill stall while driving. Also while sitting at a stop light or sign. It happens during random times.
On 4 separate occasions now within the past few months, my car will shut off on its own after i have filled it with fuel.the first 2 times the car shut off while in the fueling station parking lot.the third time occurred while i was driving on a three lane road traveling at 50mph.the last incident occurred at a major intersection causing my vehicle to block traffic.each time was immediately after filling the car with gas.i use only premium fuel in the car and the fuel was purchased at different businesses.after allowing the car to sit for a minute or so, the car will restart and runs as normal.i have called a local dodge dealer and was told there are no recalls and that there is no way for them to diagnose what could cause this to happen.i have been told by other dodge charger and chrysler 300 owners that they too have had this issue; car shutting off after fueling.my concern is that by stalling in an intersection or at high speed, eventually a wreck will occur.i am also concerned by the dodge dealer's service department telling me there is no way to diagnose this issue.
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 thefuel 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.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while traveling various speeds, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the failure could not be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 35,000.
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 but they said i would not becontacted 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? this has been happeningsince i reported it in jan of 2017 on safercar.gov.no action or contact has been made.
Before arriving at work stopped at mcdonalds to get coffee.after 10min return to car and tried to start and would not start.i turned key again car started shaking and started with white smoke coming out of exhaust.car was shaking real hard i stepped on gas pedal and place it in drive i drove to the next street to work location and as i was putting car in reversed car cut off again.i started it again smoke again came out i put in reverse while giving gas and backed car into parking spot at work location.i called tow truck j & j towing they came and i started car and drove unto flatbed and had towed to myers automotive mechanics.they said the valve/cylinder #2 had broken cause spark plug to bend and melted other things and that this year of the 2006 dodge charger rt with the hemi 5.7 was know for this issue they have had tremendous amount of problems with these models/make of dodge and that even getting a used one it would do the same.they advised a new manufactured one that dodge apparently have revised editions.they need to replaced all these engine issues that they have known about but left the consumer to deal with unfortunately.
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.
Has a blown motor and after having it checked by a mechanic it has been determine and told to me that it was a bad design from dodge this particular year with the charger engines because of the plastic cave seats melting and not allowing the oil to flow to the bottom half of engine and causing severe damage like my engine. I need to know if this is a recall item even if it a remanufact item. Please reply to me at [xxx].information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While waiting at stop lights, car idles fine. The moment the light turns green and i release the brake to step on the gas pedal the car stalls. This has happened up to 4 times in one day. Happened only once today 3/6/2014.
I had just filled my gas tank and pulled on to a busy road. As i approached the stoplight the vehicle just died. It did not start right back up , it took 3 different tries. This has now happened 4 times. All times were after i filled up at the gas station.
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.
I was coming to a stop at a red light. The car began to shake like it was a manual transmission and was stalling, the car is an automatic. We stopped at the stop light and realized the engine had shut off. I put the vehicle in park, removed the key, and attempted to restart. It attempted 3-4 times to restart with no luck. I exited the vehicle to endure the gas cap was on and it was. After waiting for about 1-2 minutes i attempted to restart and was successful. This was about 2 miles after filling up the tank. This seems very similar to the currently pending investigation. It has not happened since but i have not filled up the gas tank since either.
After refilling my tank with gas, my car suddenly began to stall. Immediately after refilling, i started my car and within a few seconds it shut off. After many attempts of starting it and remaining stationary, my car finally remained on for more than 5 minutes and i assumed it was safe to begin driving. 5 minutes into driving on a city street the car began to jerk and stalled in the middle of the street, fortunately it didn't cause an accident. I was able to restart it and turn into the nearest shopping center where i contacted chrystler, who claimed they had no knowledge of this issue. I've seen a multitude of complaints with similar, if not the same, issues i continue to experience.
Minutes after filling my tank with gas, i drove less than a mile and turned into a parking lot. I was still driving, around 15 mph, when i heard a ding, and immediately noticed a loss of steering control. I pressed the brake and quickly noticed a loss of braking as well. It was then i realized the car had stalled while i was still moving!thankfully i had no one around and was on a straight stretch where i could slowly come to a stop, put it in park and restart. I pulled into a parking space, and the car proceeded to stall out 2 more times just sitting there.there was no warning symptoms ahead of time - perfectly smooth idle at the correct rpm, then it just drops to 0 as if the key were turned off. I ran into the store for less than 2 minutes, came out and drove home. I haven't seen any problems since then (this happened less than 24 hours ago).there were no codes thrown.i've owned this car since '07 when it had 5k miles on it. With a little over 88k miles i've never seen anything like this happen before.needless to say if this happened in traffic it would be highly dangerous.note: this is a 2006 daytona r/t. Early manufacture date of 9/22/2005.
In june 2013 i started experiencing problems with the check engine light and the vehicle intermittently shutting off. Took vehicle to several different dodge mechanic and was advised they could not duplicate the problem and just not fill the gas tank to full when adding full.this went on several months and after spending thousands of dollars for "problems" not associated with this issue i took to a neighborhood mechanic who after having the vehicle for several months determined it needed a new throttle switch (didn't solve the problem) and finally rebuilding the computer.this helped the problem a little as the stalling out only happened infrequently. However, recently the problem is reoccurring more frequently.
I was driving my car on 1/1/2015 and it just cut off and wouldn't crank back, i was glad i was turning on my street, and the back right e- brakes came apart and tore up, when i also make a right or left turn the steering section makes a funny noise, and the engine light will not cut off. I am on disability and receive very low income of $721 and i am taking care of two children out of that and i am 59 years old, so can you all please help me get my car back on the road, please.
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.
Vehicle stalled after refueling, in traffic.
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.
Engine dies when at an idle and low speeds.cranks right back but will die at low mph.almost always dies at red lights and stop signs.also dies when about to make turns at low mph.dealership has no idea what is wrong.has been doing this for almost a year.
This is not the first time this has happened and this is flat out dangerous! after driving all day i was almost out of gas so i stopped at one of my regularly used gas stations. As like i always do when i get gas i got a full tank and i do not overfill, once the handle pops i'm done pumping. Vehicle started fine and i drove off the gas station with no problems. Once on the main road i approached my first turn and in mid turn going about 20mph my vehicle just stalled,no warning or nothing it just randomly stalled. Once the car rolled off the main street i put it in park and tried to start it up again. No luck, the vehicle wouldn't start. It took a few tries but managed to get it running again. To my surprise i didn't have a check engine light so i sat there for a while revving the engine and even shut it off and restarted it, everything seemed fine so i went on my way. Shortly after i drove off it happened again and this time i was just driving straight. From the gas station to my home is about 10min and in that short time frame the vehicle randomly stalled 4 times! this went on for a few days until my fuel lvl was about 3/4 full? after researching online on dodge forums i was able to find out what may and most likely be the issue with my vehicle. Some say its a collapsed gas tank which affects a check valve in the gas tank that is for the evap system. When you have a full tank and the system opens up to release gas vapors back into the engine it's actually sending raw fuel back into the engine which in turn floods the vehicle and causes the stall. Of course this part can't be replaced or fixed since the tank and those parts are sold as one piece which is big $$$! my only fix for this until this is recalled is i don't get a full tank anymore. This is a serious and dangerous issue which should be recalled immediately before someone gets into a serious accident.
On 10/30/13 at approx 9:30am i refueled my '06 dodge charger 5.7l hemi rt/daytona edition @the gas station w/89-octane fuel. As i pulled out of the station @under 15mph, my car stalled-engine died, oil light & bell appeared, & steering locked up. It took 2-attempts the 1st time to restart it w/ it acting like the engine had flooded. I drove approx. 2-blocks & it again stalled (including all of the above) as i was slowing for a stoplight. It took 2-3 attempts to restart. I drove approx 1-1/2blocks, including a slight incline, to a stoplight where it again stalled, though this time immediately restarted. After driving 3-blocks more, as i slowed for a stoplight it again began to sputter & buck as though going to stall; i cont'd to brake but maintained pressure on the accelerator attempting to maintain rpms & oil pressure; however as i turned the corner it again stalled & took 4-attempts to restart. After sitting for 15mins i had no other issues this date. Today(11/25/13) i refueled & experienced the sputtering, bucking, stalling, engine dying, oil light, zero oil psi, etc w/ 10-full stalls(engine failure episodes) in less than 20-mins. After allowing it to sit for 2+ hours the engine didn't fully die but did buck several times on the drive home. There was at least 1 add'l day between 10/30/13 & 11/25/13 that i experienced the same problems. All stalls have happened at 35mph or less. Prior to the problems after refueling, i was having problems filling the gas tank. I attempted to refuel the car & the auto pump shutoff engaged after less than 1/2-gal entering the tank; the auto pump shutoff would engage 3-5xs per refuel & required multiple readjustments of the pump nozzle to fill my gas tank. I haven't had the car in for diagnostics b/c of the neg reports on the forums indicating diagnostics show no discernible problems. Sounds like tsb#1803015 to me.
Vehicle stalls after refueling and pulling out of the gas station (into traffic).then, it is hard to start and sputters and stalls for some time.it appears to be an issue with the fuel tank vent valve failing to shut off when the tank if full.this allows raw fuel to enter the evaporation system which probably ruins the evaporation canister as well.the fuel tank vent valve is integrated into the fuel tank so, the fuel tank has to be replaced in order to fix the primary issue.other components in the evaporation system may need to be replaced as they were not designed to have raw fuel in them.
Leaving work one day and stopped at the gas station to fill up the tank.i turned off the engine and got out to pump the gas.once i filled up my tank i get back in the car tried to start the car and it would not start.
This has happened multiple times and seems to be increasing in frequency. When at idle, for example at a traffic light or in stop-and-go traffic, the engine has stalled. This happened again last night as well as this morning and it has me concerned. I have read that others complain of this happening with a full tank but that is not true for me. I never have over-filled the tank and even with it being a little over 1/2 full currently and it has stalled twice. I've found the active investigation (pe13016) and would like to be added to that group please.please let me know what else i can provide to help with this investigation and possible resolutions.thanks!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle loss motive power and stalled without warning. The contact restarted the vehicle and drove to his destination. The failure recurred several times. The contact called and notified the local dealer of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.
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).
2006 dodge srt8 6.1 repeatedly stalls after filling with gasoline. Vehicle is difficult to start after. Car sputters at speed for first 30 miles on full tank.
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).
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.
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
After filling up gas tank, without over filling by rounding off, the car will stall out within 1/4 mile of running.it takes time cranking engine to start, then will buck and stall occasionally until it is driven at least 2-3 miles.all power steering and brakes are lost at this time as well.
My 2006 dodge charger rt with the road and track option will intermittently loose power and often die after filling gas tank. Even if you don't completely fill it still will die unexpectedly.i never top the tank off with more gas.in addition when car dies going around a curve, the power steering goes out making driving really dangerous.the engine dies at nearly any condition.when traveling at highway speed, after accelerating after stopping. It happens most during acceleration after turns.
I gassed up, and then drove off. When slowing down for a stop light, my car's oil light came on and stalled out. It restarted, but then shut off again. I was able to re-start and then travel 35 miles each way visiting family. This happened again on december 3rd after gassing up, it shut down on me when i got to work in the morning, then stalled again on the way home. Then again yesterday, dec. 4th 2013 when i got to work, i backed into my parking spot, and it shut down. Then leaving for the day, i was going down the parking garage about to exit, and it shut off before i could leave my building. I then drove it around the block, and it shut down again, and i had a hard time starting it. It finally started, and i headed home, and it stalled in traffic again, not even 10 minutes later. I was able to start it, and make it home. And it's sitting at home today, december 5th, 2013.
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.
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.
Vehicle has been overheating and has cause many headache cause of no way to transportation for me or family to work,school ect. Spent lot of money of trying to fix from dealership to not get resolved. Feel like im being rob!
Every time the vehicle gas tank is filled, the engine stalls shortly after driving away. It requires several cranks of the engine to get started again. After the engine is restarted, driving /idle is rough for some amount of time before returning to normal. This happens all the time. This is very dangerous as the car stalls on me in traffic and merging on to the freeway after filling up at any gas station.
When i fill up the gas tank of my vehicle, starts properly and runs good for a few minutes then stalls, pull to the side of the road, start again and runs fine for a few more minutes and then it does it again, vehicle is in motion or stationary, it happen also twice when turning and power steering went out almost ran out of the road the first time and the second had to apply brakes hard in order to avoid collision with another vehicle, very un-safe and dangerous. When driven about 40-60 the problem goes away and then starts all over when gas tank is filled up again. I do not have photos, police report or any other documentation to upload and hope not to have any to get this issue resolved.
After filling up with gas the vehicle will stall out and die. Especially after a stop or making a sharp turn. If you fill the tank halfway or 3/4 the problem does not happen.
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. Healso says the ignition coils deteriorate over time, and the internal shielding does not keep stray 'noise' fromtravelling 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 coilsapparently 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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 30 mph, the contact noticed smoke under the hood of the vehicle. The contact pulled the vehicle over. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that a piston in the engine seized and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 124,000. The vin was not available.
I was driving my vehicle and it started smoking i pulled over . Called mechanic had it towed to the shop where he later told me the motor was blown . Second incident there's a beeping sound and all my gauges keeping going crazy on me .third incident that pink piece inside the gear shift actual was stuck and came lose so it was removed and the car is able to be put into gear .
My 2006 dodge charger r/t just shutoff while driving after filling up the gas tank. Extremely dangerous! engine shuts off while the car is in motion.
Car stalls out at low speeds or when at light. Consistent with other problems raised concerning these vehicles.
I have a 2006 dodge charger.i had my oil changed and all fluids checked at a dodge dealership on a wednesday.that following sunday while traveling through town, the engine overheated.after much investigation, it was determined that the radiator fan motors have locked up.this happened quite suddenly and i am now without a vehicle.there were no warning symbols other than the overheating.i found a service bulletin on line that pertains to the replacement of the radiator fans on 2006 dodge chargers.i called chrysler and was told that my car was not manufactured in the factory that has the service bulletin pertained to.i then called my dodge dealership and my service writer stated that service bulletins do not mean the expenses are paid for and i have no recalls on my vin number.therefore, dodge can not help me and my out of pocket could range anywhere from $500 to over $1,000.the service writer further stated to have the car towed into the dealership immediately and they will diagnose the problem for an additional $100.i bought my car new and the manufacturers refuse to help.is there anything i can do?

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?
The engine stalls while idling or driving at low speeds, especially around corners.problem only occurs when gas tank is full or near full.this is a safety issue and needs resolved immediately.
After re-fueling at a local gas station i came to a stop at a traffic signal light.when the light turned green the car stalled.i placed the car in park and it restarted.this also occurred several months ago and i experienced the same scenario each time after re-fueling my vehicle.
Started engine and violently started shaking and then shut the engine off an restarted fine. While merging onto the highway on ramp moments later the car shut off and was unable to start again. The vehicle had to get towed on the highway on ramp. Engine has been deemed unfix-able by automotive shop an a new one must be used to replace it.
I had refueled the car and drove about 10 miles toward my home, as i turned into my neighborhood the car stalled and would not restart. I coasted to my residence and stopped the car and turned the key to the off position. After 10 minutes i tried to start the car and it did, then surged and died again. Restarted the car again and pulled it in to the garage and shut it down.
I have complained on this vehicle multiple times now.it continues to have a randomly stalling engine while driving.the dealership claims it is not the gas tank.it has finally started causing the check engine light to come on (yay! it might actually get fixed).just kidding!the dealership states that the codes that show up are general pcm codes that mean nothing.from online research, it appears it may be an electrical issue with the pcm, ecm, or numerous other parts.either way, most of us go without cars for weeks while mechanics cannot find the actual cause thus cannot fix a dangerous vehicle.most of us don't want to drive vehicles that stall while going 40 mph.
I have a 2006 dodge charger rt 5.7l with about 100k miles on it. For the past year or so my vehicle will act as if it is cutting off and then will start back up immediately. My dash lights flash and i hear a chime each time this happens. On other occasions, my vehicle will cut off completely while idling at a stoplight,intersection,stop sign, etc. My vehicle will also cut off and right back on when i try to accelerate and other times it will cut off completely. This is really scary when it cuts off as i try to turn as a vehicle is coming, hoping the vehicle sees me and doesn't t-bone me in the middle of he street as i try to get the car running again. I really hope dodge finds out what is causing this and at least inform their customers how to fix it or better yet, issue a recall and fix a problem that they know exists.
I was leaving the gas station after i filled up the car with gasoline and the engine stalled. I placed the transmission in park and turned on the car in the middle of traffic, drove to the stop light and the car stalled again. The car kept stalling every time i would stop for the next three miles. The car ran fine until i topped off the fuel tank and then the car began stalling again. The car stalls at every stop for the next two to three miles every time that i top off the fuel tank. I cannot and have not topped off the fuel since then for fear that the car will stall and cause an accident.
Our problem still has not been fixed.the car continues to "die in flight."i have uploaded a video to youtube.https://youtu.be/ssawxdfdswathis occurred while attempting to merge onto the interstate.the rpms jump up and down.the oil light and the electronic throttle control light flash and ding.the check engine light came on.this is going to cause an accident and the dealership says there is nothing wrong with the car.
Right after leaving the gas station from filling up my cars' gas tank my engine stalled when i came to a stop on a very busy intersection. I was able to start it again but it turned off on me again, repeated the process twice until the light changed and i was able to make it home. Drove around my neighborhood making multiple stops to see it if happened again in which the engine only turned off once more.
Immediately after fueling vehicle to regular capacity and automatic shutoff - no "topping off". Left the filling station and the car stalled several times, each time in a precarious position such as decelerating to make a turn or coming to a stop at a light.car dies losing power steering and breaks.thought this might be bad gas but it has since repeated every time the car is refueled.this is becoming a serious safely concern as the condition is common during the first 50 or so miles of driving after a fill up.upon speaking with the dealer they blamed the issue on the end user overfilling the tank.as the only user of the vehicle it is never overfilled nor topped off.
When traveling at hwy. Speed the car loses power and shuts off and back on by itself. If im stopped at a red light and it does it i have to put it in park and crank it back up but then it takes a 10-15 seconds before it will go into gear. The problem use to happen once or twice in a day and then it may be 2 weeks before it would happen again. Now the car is not drivable as it does this constant. I got a new front control module and drove it about 20 miles and it started again.
After fueling my dodge charger, i drove down the road from the gas station and my car stalled. It started a few attempts later. This is the 5th time it has occurred.
I had just finish filling up my car with gasoline and was driving through the sub division. My car shut off at the stop sign. This has happened on several occasion in the past year after filling up my car. On this day i step on the gas tried restarting my car and it would not start. When i took it to the repair shop i was took that my engine through a piston on the number 3 and 5 and i need a new engine. No one was able to tell me why that would happen. When i explain what was going on with the fuel system i was told thatmay because the car was running and it was not getting fuel and it through the pistons.
My 2006 dodge charger has developed a stalling issue every time i fill with gas. I have tried different things as far as not filling to the top or not topping it off with gas. I filled with gas along an interstate and when i was trying to get on the interstate it quit on me down the off ramp when i was to merge with traffic. Was able to get car to the side of the interstate and re-start but died again. Started again and then it ran with no issues. Now it has issues every time it is gassed up. I filled up yesterday and same thing died out at a stop sign trying to get on the highway. I have heard this is a big issue with these cars and i'm surprised that therehasn't been anything done to dodge to fix this issue. I've heard it could cost up to $1,500 to fix. I like the car but it is a safety issue to drive it. Please help! thanks
After i filled up on gas i drove out of the station and a block later while traveling 35 mph mycar completely turned off and the oil light came on. I could not steer or brake. I got out of the road put it in park and it started right up. I decided to drive two blocks farther to the oil change place and it did it again just died while driving down a busy street but started right up. I took it to a mechanic who could not find any codes or any problems.
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.
Filled tank up with gas day before this happened.driving down road at 25 mph the car stalled.it would restart and stall again.
After fueling up, i pulled out of the gas station and onto a main road. About 300yards from the gas station. I accelerated to approximately 40mph, in the middle of the intersection my car "dinged" the oil light came on and my engine shut down. I lost all ability to turn, or break. This is a very dangerous situation. I feared for my life. I originally thought it was becausei let the fuel levels get too low, after, i realized if i fill up all the way, this always occurs. God forbid if i were to be entering on to a freeway at a higher rate of speed. Since this has happened to me 3+ times, i am very scared and nervous to drive my car. Something as to be done. Please, before someone gets killed because the gas tank and evap canister are screwy! i. Ant get any dealership or mechanic to fix it without replacing the whole tank,($$$$$$$).
2006 dodge charger daytona r/t 5.7 hemi valve seat dropped at 144k miles. Always dealer serviced. Always on schedule, plugs, oil air filter everything.issue leading up to it was random multiple cylinder misfire stemming from faulty water temp sensor, which was fixed. Dropped valve seat when briefly turning of vehicle after dropping family home prior to going to work. Motor needs to be replaced. Just prior to failure spent around $4k to make sure the car was running perfect. Mechanic had told me the car was in perfect running order and compression was like it was almost brand new. Engine should have easily made it to 250k miles. Contacted chrysler who pretty much lied and told me this was not a common occurrence. Dealer was not willing to help me towards the repair. If this valve seat dropped 30 seconds earlier, it would have locked up in the middle of the freeway putting the lives of my family and myself at risk. This is a widespread and known issue and chrysler is not doing anything about it. This is a disgrace.
After dropping my daughter at school that day in my car, i went home and parked the vehicle in my driveway. When i went to pick her up that afternoon my car would not turn over.it never left my driveway before it was towed to a mechanic. Dodge hemi 5.7 l are notorious for premature engine failure due to a manufacturing defect.the valve seat drops into the piston causing catastrophic and sudden engine failure. The reason for my complaint has nothing to do with the cost involved to replace my transportation.the damage has been said and done. The reason for this complaint is the thought that my car's engine happened to fail minutes before my daughter was in the car.honestly, if the engine failure would have happened while the car was in motion, whether it be it in a 20 mph school zone or on the freeway at 70 mph to her favorite store to get a treat after school;i probably would've not known what to do.this defect could have very well caused a wreck hurting me my eight-year-old daughter and possibly other people. I truly just don't want this to happen to someones little girl or anybody. Can you please research and investigate this problem before someone is killed or hurt? it's just not right and dodge is holding no responsibility. Thank you for your time.
We have a 2006 dodge charger rt daytona 'top banana'. Car was driving fine til one day my mom drove home from train station (less than 5 miles). She went in to change clothes then went to leave again. Car wouldn't start up, loud banging noise coming from under hood as well as engine appeared to be shaking violently. Had towed to shop. Once there, car started to smoke and shop said there was hole in the piston and engine could not be repaired. Shop estimate was 7,000 total. Could not afford at the time so the car sat in our driveway for months.car just had new rebuilt engine, as well as new intake manifoldwater pump, and other new parts that were damaged due to the engine . I will include photos of the engine etc.
Head lights flash while driving then shut off then come back on. As i down shifted on the freeway the car died and check engine light came on now i'm stuck with a broke down car. It shifted really hard and died at the same time the check engine came on

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.
Valve seat dropped into piston chamber; dropped valve seat
My daughter after fueling up her 2006 dodge charger rt and while leaving the fueling station, the car stalled in traffic. Several attempts to start with no success. After receiving assistance moving the vehicle to a safe parking place, the car started, but ran extremely rough. After about five minutes the engine smooth out. This problem would happen only after filling up with fuel. Tried fueling up at different fueling stations, same results. The engine seems to would shut off always as you are attempting to get into traffic. Had our mechanic check the vehicle out the first time, they cleaned all to do with injectors and housing ect. Still the problem exist. Worry with this car and my daughter driving it with the potential to stall in traffic. Since the problem started, the vehicle has stalled from fueling up approximately 15 times.
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.
After refueling, the car stalls at speed.this pretty much now happens after every fill up.the car always restarts, but usually happens 2-4 times after initially refueling. The danger is, it sometimes happens at speed, the car quickly decelerates in traffic making it dangerous.many times we have had to pull off the road in traffic to restart.
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.
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.
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.
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!!!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who believed that the failure was contributed to the motor oil. The vehicle was repaired but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was not contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving unknown speeds or while parked, the vehicle stalled. All the instrument cluster warning indicators flashed and the vehicle automatically restarted. The local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 96,981.
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.
I was traveling along the interstate and noticed a hesitation in my automobile due to a seized up engine.just before it seized up i heard a knocking sound coming from the engine. The car would not start.the car was towed to a garage.the service person did an investigation an informed me that the engine was damaged and would need a complete overhaul or replacement.i was told by the machanic that the engine in the vehicle is notorious for failure due to a malfuctioning oil pump or defective connecting rod bearing.i did some research an found that there is a recall associated with a failed connecting rod bearing.one of my co-workers experienced the same thing with his automobile which is a chrysler/dodge product. This engine is a safety hazard in that by seizing up while in motion it could cause the driver to loose control of the vehicle resulting in serious injury or death.
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.
2006 dodge charger.consumer writes in regards to engine had to be replaced.the consumer stated it cost $6,000 to have the engine replaced.
After filling gas tank, engine hesitates and/or stalls.i only fill up until the fuel pump automatically shuts off, i do not add any more fuel than that.this has happened almost every time i have filled up with fuel.most of the stalling/hesitation occurs when coasting or decelerating (coming to a stop).this has created multiple very dangerous situations due to the engine not running and i have a loss of the power assist to the steering.occasionally the engine has a difficult time restarting after the engine stalls.this will occur approximately 4-8 times after a fill-up of fuel.
I was going down the high way and the car just shut off and then came back on like nothing happen they really need to recall this and it a hemi 5.7 daytona.

First time it shut down on me i was at stop light going to work in leland nc. The other time it shut down on me i put gas in the car in charlotte nc. I was away from home.the system shut can't want crank .i was in the middle of the street on my way to work in leland the first time. Leaving the gas station the second time shut down at the light again.
After filling my car up at a gas station i was entering the freeway and my car sputtered and stalled on me on the on ramp to the freeway. I was almost rearended and the car locked up and it was difficult to steer. Further diagnoses from the dealership showed that the evap valve was bad on the car and needed a new gas tank. Apparently this problem is happening with a lot of dodge chargers, magnums and chrysler 300's.
My son's car caught fire after he had parked it for the night. After 10 minutes he was called at his apartment by a friend who told him his car was on fire. There were no warning signs whatsoever. No warning lights, unusual smells, or hints of impending doom for his car.
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.
I have a 2006 dodge charger that shuts off while driving. Vehicle has 97284 miles.i currently have the vehicle in for repair at phillips chrysler dodge jeep in ocala fl.thepcm has been replaced but this issue still continues. Vehicle shuts off with out warning while driving.
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 due to my car stalling but i fear that someone else may not be so lucky and that someone is going to be seriously hurt. There are numerous vehicles like mine on the road with the same problem and its a shame that someone has to risk serious injury due to chrysler's inability to do whats right.
Engine stalls after filing up with gas.it happens at low rpm typically when approaching a traffic light or stop.once driving for a while it stops happening.most times it will restart right away.on one occurrence i was stuck on a very busy road with truck traffic and it would not start for a few minutes.this happened once to me in the past but now it's happening after every fill up.
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.
While driving from point a to point b approximately 17 miles, this vehicle stalled 7 times. Mostly stalling while at a light it has increased to while driving as well. One time specific in the middle of an intersection causing a back up in traffic and near accident. While understanding this issue has mainly been investigated and reported after fill up, this instance is not. This is a daily issue that demands attention. Mechanical techs cannot figure out what the problem is even after replacing the engine and transmission. According to my research this apparently has happen enough without resolution but how many close calls are going to turn to fatalities before something is done? it shouldn't have to come to injuries or worse for this common problem to be resolved. Thank you for your time.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact found a recall related to the fuel tank. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the fuel tank was replaced; however, the vehicle began to slow down to approximately 35 mph when reaching high speeds. Additionally, the rpms would continue to increase without the acceleration matching the rpm increase. The contact informed the manufacturer who opened a case on the contact's behalf and informed the contact that there was no recall relating to the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning.

As per dodge/chrysler mechanic, #4 cylinder valve seat dropped and internally destroyedmy 5.7 hemi engine.
2006 dodge charger r/t.this has been going on for years, i read about others having similar issues and decided to contribute mine as well as it happened again the other day when i accidentally refilled all the way.when you fill the tank all the way, the vehicle stalls immediately and will continue stalling until the gas tank is no longer "completely full."the only easy way to fix without taking something apart is to repeatedly restart the car until enough gas burns off. Even with taking care to not fill the tank all the way, going up certain hills seem to cause the stall as well.no check engine light, just power cuts off.one single chime from the car as the oil light turns on.you can restart it but obviously this is bad when it happens in traffic.seems to stall most at stoplights and other idle conditions but can also stall in low speed scenarios.never got fast enough to tell if it would happen there too.according to both independent mechanic and dealer, this is a valve inside the fuel tank which would require an expensive fuel tank replacement to fix - the mechanic said they had seen a lot of them, but there was no recall so it would be at my expense to fix.
I have had this issue happen about five times. After filling up my car with gas (i do not overfill), i notice that my car will all of the sudden turn off. This has happened in the middle of an intersection and on the highway. I feel very anxious and scared when i drive now because of this issue. After discovering online that many other 2006 dodge chargers have experienced the same issue, i am hoping there is an honest solution out there. Chrysler/dodge have not responded to any of my correspondence, with the exception of an automated response.from here on out, i will be forced to only fill my car with half a tank of gas. Please advise if any other information/description is needed. Hope to see some action soon.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Car cuts off randomly- when moving or when stationary.may or may not restart immediately.it has happened when stopped, turning, or in motion.
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.
This problem is related to the purge solenoid. The evaporative emissions system stores fuel vapors from the tank and then burns them in the engine, to keep the vapors from going into the atmosphere. When you fill the tank with fuel the air and vapor that the fuel displaces has to go into the evap system. There is a valve on top of the tank that allows the vapor out, but is supposed to shut off when liquid fuel hits it as the tank fills. What happens is this valve fails and it allows you to push liquid fuel into the evap system when you push too much fuel into the tank. This liquid fuel goes into the vapor canister and lines. When you start the engine a couple minutes later the purge solenoid will come on to do it's job and burn these vapors, but with this failed valve it sucks up liquid fuel instead, so the engine runs rough and can die at idle. The vehicle stalls for the next 5 miles or so whenever you take your foot off the gas, i.e. Taking a turn or sitting at a traffic light. The vehicle bucks violently as well. When the engine stalls it cuts all power to the vehicle causing you to lose power steering and the abs. Because the vehicle is vapor locked it will not restart immediately. My fear is that i am going to pull into traffic and be involved in an accident when my vehicle stalls and will not restart or i'll be injured when it happens taking a curve or turn. Chrysler customer service center says they have no service bulletins on this issue and no one else has complained about. A quick internet search (dodge charger stall after filling with gas) shows it is a wide spread issue not only with the charger but the magnum and chrysler 300 as well. Only way to fix issue is to replace the entire gas tank which is a $900 part with 2-3 hours labor.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. After filling the vehicle with fuel, it stalled in traffic. Sometimes the vehicle would restart, but other times the contact would have to crank the vehicle several times to restart it while in traffic. The dealer (sterling chrysler jeep dodge ram, 5504 i-49 frontage rd, opelousas, la 70570, (337) 942-1241) and the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle remained parked at the contact's house with no repairs completed. The failure mileage was 170,000.
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!!!
I have a 2006 dodge charger that randomly dies when i'm driving on the highway in town at slow speeds turning corners or sitting still in park it's died on me several times when people have had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the side of me and it happens no matter what gear its in or what the rpm is at i've replace the ecm the tcm alternator battery and everything i've looked up about it online nobody has a definite fix but the problem exists in a lot of 2006 dodge chargers, and it almost always gives me one of two codes one is loss of communication with the ecm and the other is loss of communication with the tcm and then there's other times that it gives no code
After filling up, my car engine stalls. I took it to the mechanic and was told chrysler knows about it. I looked it up on your site and indeed found pe13016 but disagree with the finding being that it is a low safety issue. This has happened multiple times where i would be in the middle of traffic and the engine stalls and shuts off and the steering locks up where i can't steer the car whatsoever. The mechanic told me that it was due to a fuel vapor lock in which the evap valve stays open and due to it, the engine runs rich because of the fuel. I was told not to overfill in which i have stopped, however, this happens just by filling up. I have had to rev the engine to burn off gas until the engine stops stalling. Every time, i've stopped traffic in the middle of the road and it has happened at night as well where visibility is low and almost got hit because my car stalled. It has also happened right before turning in a busy intersection and thankful that it happened right before i made the turn. Every time it has happened i've been in motion on a city street and a few times on a highway but every time i was about to turn. The first time it happened, i didn't know and got the tow truck to tow the car and had the police to come behind me because in his words, i was in an unsafe location, so that no other oncoming vehicles would hit me. The date that i placed on when it happened is the last date it has happened thus far as of this writing.

My 2006 dodge charger daytona 5.7l engine had a problem with a valve seal/lifter / solenoid in 2015, which was repaired by the dealer in december.now, 7 months later, it has lost a piston in the engine, and needs a new engine.when the lifter problem occurred, the car was being driven, and started to misfire.when the piston went (the dealer says that is what it is), the engine was being started.when starting the vehicle, it misfired, and started clanking.and then died.
Car stalls after filling gas tank, at speed or idling. No codes or other indications.
Car stalls out and loss of power while stopping for stop light. Oil light comes on after stalling out but no engine light or fault code shows up. Car usually starts up right away but does take a couple of tries at times. Car also jerks around like starving for fuel. Had a tune up done, fuel system cleaned and was told that the shop could not duplicate the problem. This is very discerning to myself and my family due to safety. A car that stalls for no reason or warning is a huge safety issue.
This problem started about a year age. At first it was once ever 3 months now it happening more often. On 1/14/2014 after filling the gas tank the car stalled nearly being rear ended on the expressway. This problem getting worse and worse everytime. This problem is going to take someone's life in an accident.
Some days you come out and crank vehicle and it just cuts off on you will you run down the road it makes a beep noise and cuts off on you if you stop at a light it cuts off on you this happens recently almost everyday
Car was operating just fine no check engine lights or anything of that nature stopped atwal-mart and was in store for about 30 mins.. Came out and went to start car and it sounded like a popcorn popper full of metal and started smoking so bad it filled entire parking lot with smoke so thick that you couldn't see 3 feet beyond your face.. So had to pull car home and when i pulled valve cover and plugs on left side i noticed meral shavings in cylinder 1 and plugs in cylinder 4 were completely smashed smashed in on themselves ( gap gone ).. Apparently the valve seats dropped into cylinders and puctured pistons... I have looked online and it seems that this has been a pretty regular occurrence with other 2006 hemi chargers...
During start-up engine "spun a bearing" and developed a "rod knock" according to the dealership engine mechanic.
While driving along hwy, noticed engine temp getting warm (apparently another radiator had blown and was dumping coolant under car), so i started trying to get to side lanes. Then saw temp was close to red, so i shut the engine off (at speed) and coasted off to shoulder. Determined radiator was unfixable and waited for tow. Engine had cooled so tried to start the engine to briefly adjust it to be picked up by tow truck. Engine was hard to start, then began making awful clanking, pinging, rattling noises for a bit, then stalled out. Had it brought home and ended up finding that the intake valve seats for cylinders #4 and 8 had dropped out of the head and had been rattling around against valves and made several dings in pistons. Ended up costing me over $2500 to fix the top end, but i may still be dealing with piston ring damage issues.
I was driving home from work, going about 40 mph on the freeway all of the sudden engine starts running rough.pulled over, turned off car and was never able to turn it on again.took it to the mechanic..he said i had a broken seat valve, everything damaged...need to replace engine.after looking up online it seems it is a known defect with the hemi engine from 2005-2006.
I was driving when my car seemed to stall and start back. The most scariest times are on the freeway. I've been in the fast lane and had it happens car stalls and kicks back on. I've taken my car to dodge dealers and they can't figure it out. I love my car but i'm really getting sick of them not fixing the problem. I'm having the same problem as everyone else so i'm not going to type it up in detail. But there is no reason why a car can stall itself and restart back up with no trace it ever happen. It's dangerous to the driver and passengers and incoming traffic. My car has been checked from the engine own and its showing nothing. My car is currently at chapman dodge chrysler and jeep and i got the call today saying its nothing showing wrong. It seems its electrical because when it happens it loses power and when i starts back on it has a kick to it. I'm just asking for it to be fix before someone gets killed.
Car will shut off going 45 mph, at a stop light (0 mph)or when crossing traffic intersections for examples (at most going 10 or 15 mph). I will attempt to restart and the car will start up, stall up and then shut off again - when this happens, i lose power steering. I have to switch gears from drive to park and then turn the car off and then on again in hopes it will start.as you're driving, you can feel when the car is about to cut off, it throttles ahead a bit and revs, then the car beeps and turns off, while the gear is in drive and turning my wheel does nothing. I notice that this issue would usually happen after a fill up my gas tank, so i started only filling up halfway ,but the issue still persists.this issue became heavily frequent yesterday where the car stalled and cut off at least 4 different times while making a 7 mile drive back home. This was very very scary in my eyes, especially with a passenger in my seat.this is a huge safety concern because the vehicle is shutting off while in motion and powering steering is lost. If this happens on the highway going 60+ miles per hour, or turning into oncoming traffic, there is a guaranteed accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.i believe there is an issue with the gas tank and the evap canister that causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling the engine, which shuts off the car. This was filed under nhtsa pe13-016 (which appears to be closed or inaccessible- https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/documentlist.xhtml?docid=pe13016&doctype=inv). This safety concern really needs to be looked into.
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.
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!
On or about 03 october 2013, the engine (5.7l hemi) stalled going at 30-35 mph. The engine service light came on, but disappeared when i restarted the engine. Since that day, i have experienced multiple engine stall incidents (about 10 times) usually at a traffic stop being idle or approaching a stop, and during reverse. In november, while cruising on a highway, the engine acted as if to stall again with all the lights and chiming on the evic on and off, but did not stall probably due to the momentum or inertia. At that time, i had my entire family (size of four) with me in the vehicle and feared for their safety. I went to multiple chrysler dealers and service centers, but could not prevent the problem from reoccuring again. It appears from my online research and reading other complaints on nhtsa website that the symptoms i am experiencing are probably consistent with the faulty sensor in the fuel tank.
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.
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.
Running hot. Replaced can motors thermostat radiator water pump
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 while driving causing the filter to expand and oil to leak. My engine is beyond repair!i called dodge hq again and was told that there are no recalls on my vehicle after checking my vin#. Also told me they will not help me. They told me i can file a complaint with nhtsa. Meanwhile i am taking the bus. Not a happy camper!
Stalls and dies after fueling up. Can die right in an intersection or the highway. You lose power steering and power braking.
It cuts off when i'm driving it slows down and i have to tryin get over .and it takes almost a 1.5 hours before it cranks back up. That can cause a car crash.
My car keeps stalling even while driving above 20 mph, especially whiling pulling out into traffic. My car has been at the dealership for a month with no resolution. My car is not safe.
I was traveling on the highway and my car stalled and had to coast to the shoulder in august 2012.this again happened may 2013.the last incident occurred september 21st pulling out of a parking lot.the car started back up after each occasion.
Engine shuts off at any speed. Spent over $6,000 at dealership still has same problem. Very very dangerous at freeway speeds lose of power steering and power brakes when the engineshuts down. Will restart and drive after malfunctioning.
(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 buya brand new engine and several other engine parts that failed due to this catastrophe. Not to mention major labor costs.
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.
Dodge charger stalls while stopped at stop signs or red lights like its out of gas. At first it would do it maybe once a week after filling up my tank, but now it is several times a day. My vehicle is around 137,000 miles.
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.
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 down the road it could have been a serious safety hazard.how does this get investigated, and how many complaints have to be generated to have dodge look into this manufacturer defect causing safety issues?i have pictures of the damage caused by the valve seat but i am having a difficult time uploading. I can e-mail them on request
I have a 2006 dodge charger 5.7 hemi i had just filled my car with gas completely full until the one click of the handle, replaced the fuel cap closed the fuel door and started the engine ran just fine, i make a left turn out of the gas station make it about 100 feet and it stalls i lose all power and it dies i was able to restart the engine but it continued to this for several days i was told it was the fuel pump so i replaced the pump and still had the same issues do i took it to the local dodge dealership after three days i was told it was possibly a bad coil pack but they could not tell me which one it was they replaced all plugs and one pack it now runs but not the way it should i looked up similar issues and kept coming across the same problem with other chargers of the same year that it was something to do with the gas tank.
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.
When i fill up with fuel i can make it out of the parking lot and to the intersection an the car will die. And then it won't start for a while and it spits and sputters.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger xt. The contact stated that the engine would stall sporadically after the vehicle was refueled.the contact inquired about a technical service bulletin (tsb) under nhtsa action number: pe13016 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the extended warranty only covered the vehicle for up to 100,000 miles and the contact had exceeded the mileage. The vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000.
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.
Takata recall my motor drop a valve inside the bottom of the motor causing it to destroy the motor there is a defect on 06 5.7 liters theres a component that doesn't push out enough oil to evenly distribute to all the valves i have taking this car to tire plus i have taking it to amacco brandon auto salvage an every mechanic has said the same thind the manufacturer knows the motor has defect instead of correcting the problem they are waiting for thisto just blow over. Its unfair i had this car for 3 months before the motor died 5000 to fix this i cant afford to fix it an me an my family are stuck catching the bus . I had the car in my drive way ran in the house while the car was running an came out tge engine was making a loud grinding sound. Please help us these companies stay screwing the people in the world over
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.
Every time i get gas and start the engine, it jerks and dies after driving a few hundred feet. I start it again and it keeps doing the same thing repeatedly. I'm afraid to pull into traffic because i don't know when it's going to just stop running. I feel this is a very unsafe situation. It has been going on for about 2 years now. Last night was the most recent occurrence.
Note: i am documenting my most recent date of incident because there have been so many inconsistent, unpredictable incidences to recall the first.these issues have gone on for probably at least 3 months now.today while waiting at a stop light, my car died as light turned green and i got ready to go.i was still in idle/ no acceleration.i put the vehicle in park and attempted to start. I was able to get it started and moving before the light changed but not soon enough.i even put flashers on so drivers behind me would know i wasn't getting anywhere on first attempt at moving.(this occurred 2 days prior while waiting in line of traffic---twice in the parking lot. On sunday it died at least 5 times while waiting in long line of traffic/congested parking lot after an event.)once i arrived at my destination tonight, i decided to check for code and got none. Then after idling about 5 minutes it died.i again started it and let it idle. It died again.i did this a few more times with same result in even less idle time.i did notice that the last time showed the check engine light and the oil light.i'm not sure if this is part of the fuel tank issue for which i got a recall letter last may or not.this is getting frustrating.(by the way, i have a half tank of gas.i haven't refueled in a few days.)prior to this random stalling it would 'hiccup' during acceleration.the rpm's would plummet and a chime would go off.this lasted maybe a second and then returned to normal.some hiccups have been mild while others were jerky.when i talked to dodge service dept about hiccup they didn't think this was fuel tank issue.fortunately, both problems aren't occurring at same time but both have been frustrating.the hiccups haven't occurred since the dieing started.i am frustrated and concerned about our safety.
Shortly after fill up the car will die. This has happened multiple times after filling up and it has happened after multiple fill ups. The car will start moving and i will begin driving when the car dies and i lose power steering. I took it to a mechanic and they said that it is a known safety issue with 2006 dodge chargers. The fuel tank and the evap canister needs to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving 60 mph and attempting to increase speed, the accelerator pedal failed to respond when depressed. The vehicle began to decrease in speed and the check engine indicator illuminated. The failure recurred randomly. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 80,000.
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.
While driving on the interstate after work my vehicle stalled out and i lost control. I had to strong arm the steering wheel to get the vehicle to veer onto the emergency shoulder lane. Vehicles behind me slammed on their brakes and honked their horns trying to avoid hitting my vehicle. Prior to the event i filled my gas tank. After giving the vehicle a few minutes i tried to turn the ignition. After several tries the vehicle started. I was unable to accelerate over 35 mph and the vehicle shook and stalled the entire ride home. That was 3 weeks ago and the issue has worsened. My vehicle is stalling in mid-sections. It's shaking and along with the fuel light the engine light continuously dings. My code reads engine misfiring and fuel valve failures. The dealership was unable to pinpoint the issue and told me to research the issue under nhtsa.org. I have almost caused several accidents and i do have a small child i must transport in this vehicle as well. It should not take a fatality for this issue to be resolved by the parties responsible.
Car engine shuts down at highway speeds momentarily and back on acouple of times engine shut completely off had to pull over to the side of the roadengine restartsno fault lights come onafter searching the internet i find that this problem has been around for a while very dangerousif dodge has addressedthis problem i find no recalls it should be taken care of as soon as possiblethis has been going on for quite a while on my vehicle today being the latest episodes thursday, october 13, 2016
I drove my vehicle to the store and everything was fine. I came out an hour later and attempted to start the car but it wouldn't start. I attempted to start it again and it started but the engine sounded horrible so i turned it off immediately. I had it towed to my mechanic who said there was no compression on cylinder #3 and the valve was unseated causing damage to the cylinder. I take meticulous care of my vehicle and this type of engine failure should have never happened with only 105k miles on it. Upon reading several thousand reviews on this 5.7l hemi engine, this appears to be a major problem and has been identified as a manufacturer defect. The below is the diagnosis for this early engine failure:"faulty valve seatsaccording to the engine company, the original chrysler design presses the valve seats into the cylinder heads. The problem results when the powdered metal the valve seats are made of expands, causing it to drop into contact with the valve and pistons, which leads to catastrophic failure. In this process the seat breaks into many pieces causing deterioration of the piston, cylinder wall, valve and cylinder head.this metal can even get into the intake manifold ' if not cleaned properly, it can lead to a failure in replacement engines.piston ring landingsagain according to pp, a flaw in the engineering of the piston ring landings results in the engines running much hotter than they should. Coupled with what they call overly small drain holes in the heads and block, this overheating breaks down new oil, leaving sludge in the engine, ultimately blocking it. Consequent oil-starvation can lead to engine block seizure."
Went to start my dodge charger r/t and the engine made a unknown terrible loud noise and then would not start. I've had issues with the car stalling while driving and when coming to a complete stop the car would die. But i've never experienced this terrible loud noise of the engine. It's clear this engine shouldn't have had this malfunction at the mileage the car is currently at, i believe this to be true as i towed the car to the dodge dealership for inspection of the engine and they had stated this malfunction shouldn't have happened at this mileage if at all. Dodge refuses to open the engine to determine the exact issue with the engine without my fronting 480.00. I called dodge/crystal corporate customer service who did not want to offer any assistance and they advised to file a compliant with nhtsa. I want dodge to either repair the vehicle or to buy the vehicle for the amount i currently have invested. I strongly believe dodge is to blame as i have researched this issue and have found this is not an isolated occurrence.
After fill up of gas tankcsr will start and drive normal for approx 1 mile then begin to stall out. This happens while gas pedal is being depressed and while braking.after driving the vehicle for approx 10 to 15 min the stalling stops. This happens after every gas fill up.
This is a brand new engine put in by dodge and has only 3000 miles since it was replaced 4 months ago.i filled up the gas tank today and within a minute of pulling away from gas station as i was making a left turn, the engine ceases and stops.i tried to re start it didn't start right away.after 2 tries it started and about a minute later as i pressed on the brakes to turn left the car stalls out again.
The other night i was driving my car, and everything was fine. I parked to get gas, tried to start it back up and completely died out. I had to be towed back home, while working on the car to figure what was going on, i found metal all inside of my oil. What had happened is the motor dropped a valve and got crushed causing catastrophic failure, and now i must buy a whole new engine. While researching this for 30 minutes i have found many other stories and pictures of the same issue with other people. Why no one has acknowledged this issue, i have no idea. But it has affected many people and left many people stranded. I am extremely upset with this seeing that i just bought this car and i already have to drop a new motor in. Nhtsa needs to acknowledge this issue because it is affecting thousands of models.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while parked, the vehicle would not start. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic for diagnosis. The mechanic stated the piston had failed causing the engine head to fracture. The mechanic stated the engine would have to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 94,000.
I got off work started car put on seat belt. Put foot on brake and tried to move gear shift it wouldnt move out of park. There are so many complaints of this issue.
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.
My car shuts off when sitting in traffic also car does not cut back on until after 3 tries its also shut off after u put gas in the car in stall at idle it also shuts down sometime while driving i have a daughter who is only 6 this is very dangerous for call to shut off in traffici'm scared don't no what to do or why i'm have in this problem.
Valve guide failure in 2005 and 2006 dodge magnums and dodge chargers.this is an well keep epidemic that dodge has not addressed.there are many hundreds of failures between 60,000 miles and 100,000 miles
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 contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that there was a loud knocking sound coming from the engine. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic and it was determined that two of the engine cylinders needed to be replaced. The failure caused the check engine light to illuminate on the instrument. The contact also stated that the engine ran hot and it was determined that it was because of pressure building in the radiator and a leak in the transmission. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 108,000.
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.
I have had this 2006 dodge charger for a while .now it's been stalling and sometimes shutting off for no reason. Me and my 3 year old grandbaby was at a red light and the light turned green, i started to go car stalled and shut off. No was behind me at the time, so i was trying to get it to start,when i looked up . Saw a truck flying up on us. Thank god no one was beside us or he would of rear ended us. My boyfriend is a mechanic.he has worked for chrysler for over 32 years. He can't seem to find the cause of it. No codes nothing. He can't talking to half of the bus. We replaced throttle body,tcm,pcm and some other things. Still nothing has helped. I have owned two other chargers. This one is a night mare. Please do something. I'm getting to the point i'm scared to drive it.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger rt. The contact stated that on multiple occasions, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted after several attempts. Additionally, gasoline would sporadically spill from the fuel tank.the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the check valve was causing an overflow condition. The vehicle was later taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the check valve, evaporation canister and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90000. ..updated 05-09-14 ....updated 05/15/14 the consumer stated the vehicle stalled at a highway speed, and another instance of fuel spilling from the tank during fill-up resulting in a spill at the gas pump/ the consumer stated he was forced to stop re-fueling at about 15-18 gallons to avoid the situation. Updated 05/15/14
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving at any speed, the contact heard a noise from the gear shifter without warning. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that oil leaked onto the valve. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure was not remedied. The failure mileage was approximately 76,000.
Car stalls without warning at stoplights as well as on the road. If if the car is moving the engine will usually catch and restart but due to the way the transmission operates, there is a period of time before the transmission reengages so the car acts as if it is in neutral which is extremely dangerous and has caused many close calls with conflicting traffic at intersections. A quick search on google will show this is a chronic problem with these cars and there is no known root cause and dodge has not done anything to investigate the root cause. As a result it has been left to the owner to spend potentially thousands of dollars for parts swapping to troubleshoot the problem but with little success. In most cases the problem is never resolved or simply returns shortly after being "fixed" by the dealer.note:this is not related to the gas tank issue which has similar symptoms. I have replaced the gas tank in my car hoping it would resolve the problem but it did not.
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.
Car stalls and engine shuts down, loss of steering while either sitting still or driving at higher speeds. This has happened on numerous occasions after adding fuel to the car.
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.
After filling gas tank completely, car started stalling going down the road. Continued to stall at stop light and in parking lot and would not stay running unless hitting the gas pedal. Problem seemed to resolve itself after a few miles. Same exact issue has happened multiple times over the last few months, but only when filling the gas tank completely. When only putting partial amount into tank, this issue does not seem to be an issue. Have done research online and it seems to be a common problem with the 2006 charger and 2 other chrysler models. Spoke with firestone in columbus ga and was advised there was a service bulletin regarding this issue and that my gas tank needed to be replaced. Contacted a dodge dealership in columbus ga over 2 months ago and was advised fuel tank is on national back order.
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 longer ..
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated while her son was driving at low speeds detected smoke from the hood.the driverpulled over, andthe 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.
5.7l hemi engine. For the past 2 yrs, engine will stall after filling-up the gas tank. This doesn't happen after every fill-up, but occurs at random fill-up intervals.the engine will stall multiple times until it's burnedoff approximately 1 gallon of gas, then operates normally.stalling mostly occurs when vehicle comes to a stop. However, i've had several instances when the stall occurred on the highway at 60 mph.
My car is shutting off while driving causing unsafe driving conditions.i have checked numerous forums and many people are having this same issue. This could result in a fatality. I was driving and my car just shut off the power steering went out i was not able to start the care again until i got it back in park. It has happened 2 times now.
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
Pcm shuts down brieflywithout 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 replaced the pcm with a refurbished one (could not locate a new replacement) and the problem was not observed for two months, but then resumed.multiple similar reports on the internet, mostly related to filling the gas tank but my problem has no correlation to refueling or fuel level.
After refueling, the vehicle stalls and runs rough.usually requires restarting a couple of times before it eventually smoothes out.has stalled several times while on freeway after refueling nearly causing an accident.have been experiencing problem every time vehicle is refueled for the past 2-3 years.problem is becoming more serious.
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 said all they can do is rely on the dealership's diagnostics... Literally just a waste of time. Why even assign a case manager? i took the car in to replace the fuel tank since it was under warranty (aka free)... I'm a college student with no finances for repair. Now, i'm left with a faulty, unsafe, nearly inoperable vehicle with no other means of transportation. Someone needs to step in.
My car stalled less than 1 mile after pulling out of a gas station after filling up with gas. It took several tries to restart before successfully able to drive again. I thought bad gas. But it now happens every time after i fill my tank full of gas. My car's rpms will sputter for the first couple miles after filling up with gas. It also stalls every time driving within the first 2 miles of filling up with gas. It is very scary driving with my family in the car and fearing that my car will stall in the middle of an intersection and cause a major accident. There is no check engine light or diagnostic codes for this. Just the oil light comes on and the engine dies, power steering fails, and abs are not working.
After refueling the car, the engine cut off as i was pulling out into traffic and getting up to speed. It just stalled?!?!?
22 may 2015 oil pump failed. Took vehicle to dennis dillon dodge of caldwell idaho 26 may 2015. Repair quoted at $996.00. Actual charge $1816.66. Received car back 8 july 2015 with thumping. Re complained to service 24 july 2015. They wanted to repair unknown which did not exist before their handling. Continued to drive until 11 november 2015 when 1 quart of oil was added & vehicle began thrashing & died, refusing to run again. Vehicle has sat parked in storage at home ever since. Filed complaint with idaho attorney general office. Dennis dillon cfo duane sessions replied & lied covering his service manager & mechanic. Ag office ceased further action.
After filling up my gas tank, i drove down the road for approximately 3 miles. When i stopped at a light, the car began running very sluggish and then stalled. Check engine and oil light popped on. I immediately turned the key to off and sat at the red light for a minute. I turned the key on and the engine started back up and i was able to put into drive and proceed to my destination. It has not happened again since however i realize this is a growing and common problem with other 2006 dodge chargers.
Filled up gas a local citgo 7 eleven gas station.pulled away about 100- 200ft car stalled as i was making left turn into moving traffic my daughter was in back seat.no engine light indicator or anything.place car back in park and restarted.this has happened a few times.first time had to get some sensor relay replaced.not to long ago.since then about a week later after fueling over the weekend went to work stopped at a mcdonalds came out to drive a street over to work card would not start.held down gas pedal car started shaking had and white smoke came out exhaust.i placed car in drive drove to work parking lot as i was putting in reversed it stalled again.shaking real hard.got towed to myers automotive and they advised dodge chargers 2006 rt 5.7l are having these engine problems with cylinders and lifter/valves.
Vehicle stalled when driving shortly after fueling. Engine started again after cranking for several seconds, but strong smell of gasoline after starting. No further problems with the vehicle until the next refuel. This has been happening repeatedly after refueling ever since the original incident on the date given. This may have been happening periodically over the past 2 years, but before this it was infrequent enough that we really didn't pay any attention to it. We never top off the tank, stopping fueling after the nozzle initially clicks off.
Car running fine.stopped and turned off engine.10 minutes later , checked oil and fluids ,started engine and engine started knocking.exhaust smoke and then engine quit running.car was stationary when engine faliure happened.
I was driving my 2006 dodge charger after just getting it out of the shop. With no notice the car began to overheat i immediately pulled over and called a tow truck. When the tow truck arrived the car wouldn't start. Went to dodge where they said i either needed a new engine or they might be able to save the other one first i had to pay $370 for the test. I should not be dealing with engine issues at 95k miles. The government needs to fix this or everyone should file a class action lawsuit against dodge for this defect.
While driving on the highway in traffic at approximately 70 mph the car stalled with no check engine light or engine misfire/stuttering.the stall was as if the key was turned to the off position.the car coasted to the side of the road, restart was attempted and the car started perfectly, i continued to drive.the car stalled again after a few miles, restarted and it stalled again - this continued, each time with the time driven being less.all this time the check engine light did not illuminate.i finally made it to a shop where the car was diagnosed and the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor was replaced.this did not solve the stalling issue.the car will have the pcm replaced in hope that this will solve the problem.this is a very unsafe failure especially when traveling at high speeds - the car loses all power and is very difficult to move into the shoulder when it stalls (no power steering).this is a very serious safety concern that can be catastrophic.
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.
Car shuts down completely while driving. Check engine light comes on along with a red lighting bolt. Went to dodge dealership & they ran diagnostics no code came up. They did replace fuel tank from a previous recall. Got car back & immediately stalled again. Carried car back & they ran diagnostic while driving & code came up to replace computer. Replaced & programmed computer & car is still doing it. Dodge states that they do not know what the problem is.
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.
After filling up with gas this morning, as i accelerated away from the gas station the car began to buck and jerk.it smoothed out for a little while, then after accelerating away from the next stoplight it jerked and made a loud noise.this is heavy suburban traffic, so very stop-and-go.the car began to stall, and only restart if i depress the accelerator all the way to the floor while starting.go a little bit further, then buck and stall again.very dangerous! i'm learning through online vehicle forums that this is a relatively common problem with this year/make/model vehicle's gas tank and the integral "roll-over" valve which is supposed to prevent liquid fuel from entering the engine, yet the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge a faulty design that is leading to potentially dangerous situations.will it take accidents, fires and death to make it a higher priority?
Driving my 2006 charger daytona with my toddler from lunch, going toget gas, and then go home. My charger engine died while driving. It started but sounded different. I pushed into a parking lot. I thought maybe i ran out of gas. But no gas light was on just an engine light & a lightning bolt now. I put a couple of gallons of gas just to be sure. I started the car. The engine sounded like a rattling and died out again. I left the key in the on to make sure fuel got to the injectors. Started again very briefly same noise then it never started again. Towed it home. Lifted the plastic engine cover found a large hole and three inner engine parts (one was a spring, possible parts to a rod) that had blown out of the hole. I keep my charger up to date with care and maintenance. I had no performance issues or warning lights prior to this happening.i called the dealer and the service center told me he has never heard of such thing, he wasn't a "tech", and whoever did my last oil change "probably didn't do it right".
After filling up my car with gas, i pulled out of the gas station and as i was coming to a stop at a traffic light the car started to jerk as if was going to shut off. This is the 3rd time i have had this issue.
This has been an on-going problem that we've been chasing for several years. The car will stall while driving, usually without warning sometimes the gauges will drop and the warning "ding" will sound.most of the time the car will restart, however there has been instances that it has to sit for awhile before restarting. In any case, it is a safety concern since it will stall while driving.i've had it happen on the highway as well as on city streets.there are times in which we have to restart the car multiple times in order to get the gauges and headlights to turn on when this happens the tail lights, and brake lights don't work either.it is clear there is an electrical issue with these cars, i hope dodge takes care of their customers and resolves the issues that are occurring before someone gets killed.
After filling up my fuel tank up for the first time the car was hard to restart.once the car started the she kept cutting out and even died twice.this happened while i was in traffic.since that time every time i filled the tank i have the same issue.i have had to resort to only filling the car up to 3/4 tank to avoid this issue.
Car stalls and cuts off after refueling. I always put 89 octane or higher gasoline in my vehicle. This is a severe safety issue because you can get rammed from behind when in traffic i.e. Washington, dc area the busiest streets in america. The dealer suggested the consumer spend $1800 to replace the fuel tank.updated 02/06/14
On the night of june 3, 2016 i parked my 2006 dodge charger r/t in my drive after driving for about an hour.i went back out to leave again and the car would not start.after checking for any computer issues i had the car towed my the dealership.they performed tests and determined that my intake valve seat in my #1 cylinder dropped and cause the engine to stop running. The dealership wanted to charge me $3200 to replace the cylinder head.i chose not to have them perform the work, instead i removed the cylinder head and took it to a local machine shop where the fixed the issue on the cylinder head and i was able to install it back into my vehicle and get it running again.this issue still cost me over $1200.
Traveling i-5 at 65 mph when the car lost all power.no response in gas pedal, engine stuttered. Pulled off freeway and put it in park and turned the car off. Waited for around 10 -20 seconds then restarted the vehicle.then all power and driveability came back.this is the 5th time this has happened for this car and becoming more frequently.took the vehicle in to have it put on a diagnosis.code is p0016.crank shaft position, cam shaft position correlation/bank 1 sensor a. Also code p0128. Thermostat rationality test.
My 2006 dodge charger has began to stall after a gas fill-up. It is very scary because it does not matter how fast you are driving. I had it stall about 5 times after filling up today. One in which i was going 40 mph. The steering wheel locks up and it is very dangerous. I am very concerned for the safety if myself and family.
The problem started back in december of 2013 at 77,000 miles. When i fill up at the gas station (i never top of) the car stalls and shuts off. It happens every time i fill up. I pull out of the gas station and it shuts off in the middle of the road. Dealer can't find the problem. It's very frustrating. My main concern is safety and the repeated service visits and cost. The last time was scary because it shut off at a red light. When i started up the car again it shut off in the middle of traffic. I managed to get home but the car shut off several times during the drive.
Engine stalled out while driving on freeway after filling up with gas. Three different occasionsdropped valve seats, 8/2011 and 9/2013.
Timing change broke
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.
I had my car 14 years (bought new in 2006)kept up with maintenance, oil changed ect.. My cars has close to 167,000. While driving to local gas station parked my car went got what i needed. 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
After refueling car intermittently began stalling and ultimately died upon coming to a stop. Engine did restart but continued to stall and until destination reached approximately 6 miles. No further incidents until roughly two months later when exactly the same problem occurred under same circumstances. Had just refueled and engine stalled repeatedly at speeds of up to 60mph then died when stopped at stop sign. Engine restarted and continued to stall until residence reached.
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.
Vehicle stopped after filling with gas. Started up again and shut down right away.this happens frequently after filling up with gas. Could only put in one incident but this is an on going issue.it appears there is an agreement in hand for correction why isn't it published?
I was driving my 2006 dodge charger (53k miles on the odometer) with the 5.7 hemi engine at approximately 75 mph (posted highway speed) when i began to hear a rattling sound. I immediately pulled over just before a sharp curve in the road, but as i did the engine shut down and the steering wheel locked up and all the lights on the dash came on.i attempted to start the car again and the key turned but the engine did not respond.had i not pulled over and begun to cut my speed when i did the engine would have shut down as i was negotiating a sharp turn in the road up ahead.the car was towed to a certified mechanic who stated that the engine had blown a valve and the entire engine would have to be replaced.i have researched dodge charger forums and this is a common problem with these cars and engines at approximately 40k-60k mileage.in each posted instance it states that the engines broke down from valve failure. This is a very dangerous problem because it is common and it can lead to accidents if these engines fail at high speed and cause the cars electronics to shut down. Chrysler sshould.
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-
Car wouldn't start after three tries.sounded like something blew up the first time i tried starting it.had car towed to dodge.it was there a week before they looked at.they called us on a wednesday said the head gasket was blown was gonna cost $4500 to fix.then they called back on a friday said the pistons werent' getting any oil, engine, need to replace engine.now it's gonna cost $8,000.how you go from $4500 to $8000 in a matter of two days???
Engine just stopped working.no warning.car was just serviced a few months prior.pre mature engine failure
After fueling car up, i traveled a short distance, stopped at the main intersection of the city i was driving in, the light changed, i accelerated to turn left and my charger died right in the middle of busy intersection. I had my daughter with me, so i told her to get out and push, scared that i was going to be t-boned. We discovered how heavy my hemi was, but thankfully 2 men jumped out of there vehicles and pushed us to safety in a nearby parking space. I called a tow truck and had to be towed home after trying to get it to start again and it wouldn't stay running. If you know what my problem is, please help me. My car has 95,000 miles on it.condition: unknown
While i was driving approximately 35 mph my vehicle suddenly stalled causing me to lose power to the motor and power to the steering and brakes. I had toquickly pull off to the side of the road as the traffic was heavy and i had no power to control my car. This was a dangerous situation and i fear it may happen again. I have read about (dodge charger forum) many other owners of similar vehicles that this problem occurs shortly after you fill up the gas tank. I did just fill the gas tank prior to my car stalling incident. I feel this is a dangerous defect that develops on this vehicle and it needs to be looked into immediately.
I filled up with gas, pulled out of the gas station onto the expressway on ramp and the engine died.i rolled to the shoulder and after about 10 minutes it would finally start.it stalled a few more times then finally it would run long enough to get me home.
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.
10 minutes after filling up the car completely died no power steering , no power brakes no lights . Car restarted then died a second time. Brakes and steering are a major safety hazard under these conditions.
Re:pe13-016re: dodge/chrysler x53 - 19 fuel tankvehicle 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.
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.
I have had an issue with my car stalling and it seems there are many others with the same issue. The fact that this is not being looked at as a safety concern is beyond me. Just because you don't reach 90mph when it stalls does not mean accidents will not occur. If i am turning into a street and traffic is coming in my direction and i stall should i just "restart" my vehicle in hopes that someone doesn't t-bone me? sounds like a bad plot to the start of a movie. Just do the right thing here and fix this world wide issue and let us move on with our muscular cars!
2006 dodge charger stalled during rush hour stop and go traffic.vehicle totally shut down.i put vehicle in neutral and it started right up.a definite safety concern.
Driving down the street and the car stalled and then died. Has done it numerous times some at freeway speeds. Today the car stalled just sitting in the driveway.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving at 15 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle; however, the oil pressure warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to multiple independent mechanics who were unable to diagnose or repair the vehicle. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.
I just got done filling my car with gas and while pulling up to the very first light after the gas station the car completely shut off . I kept trying to start it and it would just shut back off. After 5 minutes of that i was finally able to drive away. Now my engine light is on also.
Reference pe13-016after filling up the fuel tank, very shortly driving down the road the car will stall.this has happened at least 4 times now and with other incidents of the vehicle trying to stall at high speeds on the interstate (65-70 mph), with at least 2 incidents at an intersection where i fill up at a station frequently.this is a huge safety concern, if this does happen as i am going through an intersection with a loss of brakes or steering, it could easily result in an accident and injury.
On several occasions in the past 6-8 months i have experienced engine stalling after filling my 2006 dodge charger up with gasoline.in addition to the stalling, on one occasion the engine cut off completely. Thankfully, i was in a low traffic area and it didn't cause a crash. The stalling does not happen when the engine is filled up partially or with about $20.00 worth of gasoline.on september 1st after leaving the grocery store, my husband went to start the car and it started smoking profusely.the car was towed to the dealership.according to the dealership there was oil in the gas tank and, the engine was destroyed.one of the diagnosis codes indicated that cylinder # 5 had misfired.this problem has the potential to be extremely dangerous.chrysler doesn't seem to care at all.
In the 2006 dodge charger r/t the car will completely turn off if the gas is full or close to full. This is a well known issue with the r/t model. Dodge has known of this issue for years and also the dealerships. After filling the tank the vehicle will turn off in turn losing power steering brakes and engine power even while your foot is on the gas pedal. I have almost gotten into accidents due to this. I took my vehicle to the dodge dealerships and was told that this is a known problem and dodge refuses to call a recall.
Overheated and blew the top radiator hose,fixed it with an oem hose from dealership next day and i topped of the fluid and " burped" it and got all the bubbles out. Same day it was fixed i was in a drive thru line at a fast food place and it was still overheating even with my heater turned all the way up to relieve some heat stress from the motor so i had to keep shutting off the car and restarting it to move up in the drive thru line just so the gauge never reached the red line on the temp gauge and i finally received my food and then it did not want to start or anything so due to the fact of common courtesy of the other customers in linedid not want to hold them up i jumped out and pushed my car out of the way and into a parking spot and that's when the injury happened by pushing it i injured my back severely. After it was in a parking spot i tried once again to start it and it started but with a loud knock coming from the motor, and black and white smoke from the tailpipes. So i had it towed to my house and had my friend whom is a mechanic at the local dodge dealership come over and look into it for me just to find out a valve seat dropped and damage the internals on my motor. This is a well known problemnow with dodge with many complaints around the world so why the heck isn't this problem being recalled???? just so anyone who reads this knows, my car is a 2006 dodge charger r/t 5.7l hemi with only 110,000 miles on it and dealership maintained so this kinda stuff wouldn't happen but what do you know good ol dodge screwing there customers by not fixing the problem. First and last dodge product i will ever own!!!
Vehicle stalls several times immediately after fueling.i am not topping off the tank, or even completely filling the tank.this happens every time i put gas in the car.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that she was driving approximately 55 mph when the check engine sensor light illuminated and the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle wasdiagnosed by the dealer but the cause of the problem was not determined. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 82,729.
Drove to a business and once placed in park, the gear shift became stuck. Called aaa, they were going to tow it, then another driver showed up for aaa and knew just what to do. He takes apart the case that goes around the gear shift and presses on a pink colored emergency park release lever, ( why is that even an option??!!! ) it was obviously not attached to any thing as it fell down into the space around the shifter and still resides there. The discussion of towing it came up again, then we noticed a cable attached to the shifter and after playing with it have developed a system to unlatch it from park. You have to pull the cable to the left with a pen to disable the gear shift. Today i took it to where i bought it and they told me there was a recall on this and to take it to the dodge dealership. The dodge dealership knew just what i was talking about, but denies a recall on this. I am scheduled to have it fixed monday the 12th. I don't feel i should have to keep paying for faulty equipment, this car has been a disaster since i bought it. The front end has been fixed about 4 times for vigorously shaking and a god awful rattling noise ( goes away for a short time then returns shortly after being fixed!!), numerous tires have been bought because that must be the problem too ( out of the mouths of the dealership), the tire pressure light stays on, the abs light system malfunctions and has left me with a no brake sensation on multiple occasions. I have always owned dodges, but next time i purchase a vehicle it wont be a dodge.
Shortly after filling the vehicle with fuel one day, it began to stall out when stopped. While traveling at highway speeds it seems to momentarily lose electrical and mechanical power, then a warning sound will chime and everything returns to normal... Temporarily. However, while on a road trip and traveling at speeds over 70mph with cruise control on, we didn't experience any of these symptoms until we had to reduce our speed when approaching towns.also, the cruise control will shut off if it is being used when "power surge" happens and has to be manually reset.
Vehicle stalled again today (october 19th, 2013) with no warning while making a left-hand turn at a major intersection. Filled up earlier today with no top off. Has happened multiple times prior since (may 2013). Dealer can not diagnose. Normally happens after fuel fill up. After complaining multiple times to the dealer, replaced all spark plugs and performed a transmission flush and re flashed the pcm at my expense, despite having warranty coverage through 2015 120k miles because they could not repeat the problem on a 5 minute test drive. The vehicle stalled again two days later. After more visits no solution has been met and this car is extremely unsafe.
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 fuelupon acceleration causes the engine to stall and lose effected drive systems.this is ludicrous from chrysler how many deaths has this caused!?!?
Transmission and car computer are not working together properly, making the transmission shut off as i drive the car. Can happen at a red light, in the highway, even when it's parked. Brought it to several mechanics no one could fix it. Called the dealership and they claim no open recall but yet the car only has 89k miles. Was built wrong off the line if you ask me.
While pulling out from a stop light my engine began to miss and run bad.i pulled over and shut it off.after letting it sit for a few minutes i tried again,it wouldn't turn over so i had it towed to a shop,they tore it apart and informed me i had dropped the valve seat in cylinder 4,it destroyed the intake valve,mds solenoidand scratched the cylinder wall
Car stalls and dies when attempting to accelerate.has occurred multiple times, and each incident happens right after filling the tank with gasoline.
Vehicle just died from premature engine failure at 5 mph at 515am on a friday.
1st incident: on october 4, 2013, my car stalled coming to a stop at a red light less than an 1/8th of a mile after leaving a gas station after a fill up. After 3 attempts to start engine, it started up. 1/2 a mile away, the engine dies at the next red light stop. 3-4 attempts to start car, it started. Car ran rough/sputtered on my way to my house 1.5 miles away.2nd incident: on january 10, 2014, my car stalled coming to a stop at a red light 1 mile away from a gas station after filling up. After 4 attempts to start car, the engine fired up. Car ran rough/sputtered for next 2-3 miles.
Was driving to my office and didn't get any warning and the car engine sounded real bad and once i got to my office to park it it killed . Had to get someone to help me move the car out the middle of the parking lot and had to call a tow service to tow it to the shop and found out the engine failure.now i only had over 100k and they said the motor have to be replaced!! the piston hit the head and piston arm shattered and it cause my engine to fail!! now my car is park in the yard because of the cost of a new motor!!! i tried to see with dodge but the motor i have is on back order . So to me it seemed it should be recalled because of all the stories i read online with people having the same problems with motor failure of the 06 charger 5.7 hemi .
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While attempting to accelerate, the vehicle failed to move, an abnormal sound emitted from the engine, and the rpms revved without warning. The contact also mentioned that a burning odor emitted into the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage and vin were unknown.
As pulling into business parking lot, noticed suddenly internal car temperature raised suddenly.as i pulled into parking space noticed the temp. Gauge went from med. To hot within seconds simultaneously the warning light came on and beeped.in reviewing the manufacturer manual, was advised to shut of engine immediately and take in to dealer for service.i contacted my sales representative that i purchased the vehicle from for advise.we determined due to nature of problem, the vehicle should not go far.i took to local midas service department whom advised there was a general recall notice.i called local dealership that denied complaints or liability for my vin.i then call chrysler customer service that also denied knowledge of any safety notices.i requested the cost for repair; however, 1.5 later no estimate.i decided to check online myself thought it in the best interest of current/future dodge owners to initiate an investigation complaint.
Car shuts off without warning while in motion after filling gas tank. Power steering goes out as well. Very dangerous as the driver has no warning...
Engine stall after refuel. In researching this issue, nhtsa #pe13016 addresses the problem. However, i have yet to receive any documentation that allows repair of my vehicle. Dodge states my vehicle isn't covered.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that both radiator fans overheated and began rubbing together. The contact was told by a mechanic that they were lucky to have them replaced before they became fractured and entered the radiator. The vehicle was repaired and both fans were replaced. The failure and the current mileages were 72,300.
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.
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.
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 have a 2006 dodge charger r/t with a 5.7 hemi.on several occasions, the engine has stalled when i was stopped at a stoplight. The car was in drive and stopped with my foot on the brake.after putting in into park, it would take several tries to get the engine started again. It also stalled once while coasting into my driveway.i was traveling at less than 5 mph with my foot on the brake.again it was hard to restart.
The vehicle occasionally hesitates, stutters and stalls shortly after fuel fill-ups.there are times this occurs pulling out from the fuel station, and times where it occurs a few miles down the road.this is very dangerous when the cars stalls in traffic (merging, turning, etc.).
My car motor blew out of no where in the middle of me driving it. It was being well maintained up until this happened too. Anything that could of caused this?
While driving on freeway, car died.was able to start it back up again.gas tank only 1/8 full.got off freeway.car continued to just shut off while driving on the streets, leaving me stuck in the intersection several times.
Every time i fuel up mt charger r/t, it stalls when i am stopped.it has happened the last 3 times i have fueled my car.no lights come on in dash, nor any warnings.sometimes it will just sputter when i go to take off.after a day it goes back to normal.
After refueling the vehicle, the vehicle stalls and will sometimes die. It will continue to stall off and on for approximately 2 miles and the engine has the tendency to completely die while slowing down for red lights or stop signs. This has only happened after refueling and happens every time.
Speedometer quit working, car jumps hard into reverse and drive, will not shift out of first gear, code u0100, u1120, u0121, u0103, replaced computer and had no change of condition, no transmission dipstick to check fluid, a must take to dealer item that is not sensible.
Engine stalled after startup or @ low speed several times, some times after fuel topoff and engine light /electronic throttle control light came on.
Tamara recall.. .. On august 31st i went to the bank and when i came out the bank the car turned on and start making noise i need turn off right away i could not turn it back on i have it towed to my house i check on the internet for what happened to me and it seems that there's many many people that have the same problem i went to the dealership talk to somebody where the mechanic places and they tell me that they have experienced a lot of these problems that is kind of common on this kind of cars especially for that year 2006 so it seems like dodge knows what's going on but nothing has been done yet i will appreciate it if you could get help to fix my car has less than a hundred thousand miles and it's just sitting on my driveway
Vehicle stalls while in motion, engine stalls shuts itself off on start up or while in motion in traffic. Leaving me with no power to control the vehicle. This has been an ongoing problem for over a year starting in january of 2016. Dodge dealership cannot find why it stalls even though it stalled on them while they had it in there shop. The reason for the stall is unknown . Normal vehicle servicing is up to date but the car stalling continues to be a problem.
While driving the car will cut off . The lights have flickered off and on. The room needle goes down likes is cutting off and then goes back up. I have the charger 2006 rt police package.this has happen while driving,turning at corner, and sitting at the light. These issues have been going on for the last 6 months.

Slowed to stop for red light. Engine died. Put trans in neutral and restarted vehicle2nd occurrence same day, made left turn at traffic light , partway though intersection engine stopped.3rd occurrence same day , came to stop at red light, engine died. Was able to restart car. This is a new occurrence as never had this issue before. However engine cooling fans were replaced under recall from dodge about 1 week ago.car was fine before this though. Have apptwith dealer this friday.notice charger forums full of same complaint as mine. Seems dodge not responsive to this issue based on forum posts.http://www.challengertalk.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-35997-p-2.html.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 40 mph, the contact heard a loud popping noise. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the contact was informed that the engine lifters needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The vehicle was taken to two local repair shops where she was informed that the engine lifters needed to be replaced. The contact called the manufacturer who took a complaint. The manufacturer stated that the dealer had put the wrong type of oil which caused the problem. The failure mileage was 28,070 and the current mileage was 28,320.
I purchased my 06 dodge charger r/t 5.7l on 12/24/07. I am the 2nd owner. I was told that the 1st owner traded because he needed a minivan. I have learned since purchasing the vehicle thatwas probably not the case. Approximately 3 months after i purchased the vehicle, i was traveling at 35 mph when the engine began to sputter and the car began to shake violently. It acted as if it was running out of gas (it had 1/8 tank). I filled up and the problem quit. Later that day i was on the way home from the beach traveling at 75 mph on the interstate when the same problem occurred again. I had to quickly pull over in heavy traffic. I called a tow truck and had to wait almost an hour with it 105 degrees outside! after it was towed home, it cranked fine. I took it to the dealer who said that they could find nothing wrong; i must have purchased bad gas. It happened again about a month later. I managed to drive it home when it finally completely stalled. Upon cranking, it would shake violently, red line, back fire, then shut off. I took it to the dealer again. It did not throw any codes. They inspected my vehicle and drove it around town and could never duplicate the problem. It has since happened on at least 3 separate occasions and the cause still remains a mystery to me, the dodge dealership, and 2 private mechanics. I am thankful that my 5 year old son has not been with me any of the times that this car has left me stranded! it's an accident waiting to happen!
I refueled the gas tank with high octane gas, and while driving the short distance home, the engine stalled three times.this made braking difficult and scary, as i was in traffic.each time it started back up, but left me very afraid of wrecking from possibly not being able to stop the car.
After fill up my car stalls at stop signs and when making turns. I have to stop to get it started then it runs rough for awhile. This had happen a week before then the same thing happens.
I work for a chrysler-dodge auto dealership in texas.we are currently repairing a 2006 dodge charger heater core leak.the heater core leaked hot antifreeze onto the gas pedal and onto the leg of one of our salesman.the heater core is a very poor design and should be recalled before someone gets burned while driving down the road.the heater core tubes are held on to the core by a small cheesy clamp that comes off very easy. Even the new heater core we received from chrysler tubes were half way off of the heater core.
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

11/16/13 i had just filled up my gas tank on i95 at ladysmith, va and was coming down the ramp northbound when the engine sputtered and stalled just as i merged onto the highway.i pulled over after getting blasted by truckers horns for making them slam on brakes.after a couple attempts it restarted and i took off again, only to have it stall again.it did this three more times before it finally started and did not stall.since it didn't happen again, i figured i just got some bad gas.then it happened the next time i filled up.and the next.and the next.i checked on-line and found several others who had experienced this and they said it was the gas being filled to the brim that caused it.i tried filling up less than a full tank and this did seem to work.only problem is i now want to sell or trade in the car and i don't feel right passing this problem along to someone else.i saw the article about nhtsa forcing chrysler to extend the warranty on 2006 hemi chargers and took it to the dealer only to be told they know nothing about this and would fix the problem for $1100.why hasn't chrysler set up a program for these replacements?is there a list of the vehicles that are covered by the new extended warranty?can i please see if my car is on it and if not why not?
Car purchased 2/2006 w/ approx. 5,600 mi.first occurrence in 6/2007: vehicle in drive at stopped position.proceeded to accelerate through intersection.vehicle almost stalls and sputters (engine makes rough winding noise).does not accelerate.engine light on briefly.pulled over, put in park, returned to drive to try again.same thing happens.turned vehicle off, waited a few seconds, and then back on.drove fine for about 30 days.thought maybe bad gas.over the next couple of months it happened approx. 5 more times at different times during the day (hot and cool days, engine cool and warm).twice engine light came on and had to turn off for over 5 minutes before light would go out to proceed.brought in to chrysler dealer on sep. 13, 2007 where car was purchase for oil change, tune up, new tires and explained rough/whining idol,lack of acceleration and stalling/bogging down occurrences from a stopped position.said problem was fixed after mouse nest removed from engine and injector wire repair from chewing.sept. 17 & 18, happened again - backed out of driveway (each morning), came to a stop, put it in drive, and rough/whining engine sound and no acceleration above 20 mph.brought back to same dealer on 18 sept.have not been able to "duplicate the problem" so left overnight.updated 01-14-08.updated 12/12/08.
I was stopped at a red light and my light turned green but i was yielding to turn left when i stepped on the gas and my car stalled in the center of the intersection. I quickly turned off the car and re started it and it turned back on. I was able to get out of the intersection before i was hit. I was extremely scared. And since then it seems to stall a lot when l am idling at a light or at a drive through window. This is extremely annoying and dangerous. Please help me.
2006 dodge charger.consumer writes in regards to faulty ignition switch. 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.

I purchased a 2006 dodge charger apprx 2 wks ago.the engine light came on the day after i purchased car.i took the car in that friday and was told it was a service recall issue and to bring the car back because it would take all day to repair.i too am filing under the texas lemon law.car only had less than 19000 miles when purchased.i also have a problem with loud squeaking brakes.
Coming to a stop at traffic red light, engine died. Put trans in neutral, restarted vehicle. Drove about 2 miles, stopped at red light, engine died. Repeated start procedure as above. Drove about 1/2 mile stopped at red light, on green made left turn across intersection. Halfway across intersection engine stopped. Gas tank 1/2 full. Took vehicle to dealer who informed me they had never heard of this problem. Yet many complaints on internet forums re this issue. Also many reports of engine stall in nhtsa website.dealer advised me they could not see any computer trouble codes and couldn't help. Never had any stalling issues until dealer serviced carseveral weeks before with new spark plugs, recalled cooling fan replace. Per factory recall. This car is no longer safe to drive!filed complaint with dodge by phone, rep said they have never heard of this engine stall before!!!!
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.
Rocker arm clicking in engine to soon for that kind of mechanical problem to happen.
I was driving along coming to a stop, when the car cut out. Just flat went dead. No power, no lights on the dash, no real ability to brake, no power steering. Nothing.lost all power. Came to a stop in traffic. It sat there for about 5 mins then started back up. Took it to the dealer (big valley dodge in van nuys, ca.- now out of business) but they couldn't find anything. Didn't happen again til about 5-6 weeks ago. Making a left hand turn in traffic. Just as i finished the turn, the car went dead. Basically the same symptoms as before. Started up in about 3-5 minutes. I reached my destination (working out at the track). 1.5 hours later i had someone follow me home. Within 3 blocks the car did the same thing. Called dodge corporate. They told me to take it in. Took the car to what used to be big valley but now is the superstore and had them check it out. They found nothing. About 3 week ago, it happened again but this time on the freeway in rush hour traffic. Luckily the traffic was so slow that i wasn't traveling at a great rate of speed. Again i was able to start it up. This time i had someone in the car with me. This car is a dangerous weapon and an incredible risk for any one who drives it and anyone who drives in front or behind. Something has to be done.
Recently i started having an issue with my charger. Upon entering a high way and attempting to merge with traffic during morning rush hour, my car lost all power upon acceleration. The engine did not stall but the tachometer dropped to near zero, the engine light and power light flashed briefly and then returned to normal. I attempted to accelerate again and same thing happened. Fortunately i was able to avoid a pretty significant accident with thecars behind me and the ones i was merging on to the highway with. The symptoms disappeared for a few weeks and then started again and progressively became worse. I brought the car to the dealer that investigated and found it to be the power control module which turned out to be quite expensive. I did some research on a forum that i belong to and found many instances of this. Contacted chrysler and simply put they did not seem to care. There are many defects on this year of charger and not one of them has ever been covered, at least the ones that i have. I consider this latest incident to be serious safety problem and hope that it gets investigated. As for another chrysler product, never again in my lifetime. I rely on my vehicle for work and this is by far the worst that i have ever owned. Please look into this before someone has to start checking off accident and death when submitting a form.
My car was recalled for the cooling fans letting my car overheat. The dealer replaces the fans and the asks if i want him to fix my overheating issue. I thought that was why my cooling fans were the issue. It stopped overheating for a month maybe at most the i had to have a new radiator, t-stat, and water pump. Within a couple weeks on my way to my doctor the temperature gauge dropped to 140 and died. I started it up and it has a quick knocking noise that seem to tick too quickly to be a rod plus the car doesn't die. I turned it off after hearing the knocking and had it towed home. Now my brother is letting me drive his car and mine is a yard ornament.
2006 dodge charger.consumer writes in regards to vehicle frequent stalling issues.the consumer stated the dealer was never able to fix the issue.
I have a 2006 dodge daytona r/t charger.in january of this year, with ~185k thousand miles on the car, it began stalling after fueling.the car will suddenly die and causes loss of power steering and brakes, and is often difficult to restart.this is causing extremely dangerous conditions, as it occurs when pulling out into traffic and/or moving through intersections.because the car suddenly stalls, you are left in the middle of the street and at times, fast-moving traffic and unable to start the car to move it out of the way.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While stopped with his foot on the brake pedal, the contact heard a loud whining noise. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but the dealer stated that the vehicle was performing as it should. The failure continued intermittently when the vehicle was operated for 20 minutes or more. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where the contact was informed that a new motor was needed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 1,200 and the current mileage was approximately 43,000. The vin was unavailable.
06 dodge charger with 33,000 miles.car has began to violently shake and engine light will begin blinking while almost stopped at a stop light or fully stopped. I have to shut the car off stopped at an intersection for a short time and then restart to get out of the intersection.i do not see how this can possible be safe for my passengers(3 & 7 yr old), myself or other cars. This has occurred 4 times since may 2008.the dealership has replaced oxygen sensor, flashed thepowertrain control module (saying lost communication with steering control module), and on july 29th replaced the powertrain control module.had car back a few days and backed out of a parking space, put car in drive and pushing the accelerator did nothing.after a few seconds the accelerator worked & i moved about 10 feet.the car started shaking violently/engine light began blinkingand i had to shut the car off.fortunately, no one was around me this time.when i restarted the car, the engine light stayed on constant(not blinking), which i have been told over & over by the dealership is safe to drive.i was able to drive the 2 miles home.took car into dealership again on aug 4, 2008.was told this time that there is a tsb & they have to order parts.but to pick it up until the parts come in that it is safe to drive.the consumer was told the vehicle had an evaporation leak. There were times when the vehicle would not accelerate, the engine light and esp/bas light illuminated. The dealer then stated the cause of the problem was a multi-cylinder misfire at cylinders 2-4.updated 10/09/08.
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.
After filling up the gas tank, within minutes i was turning left in an intersection when the engine stopped and the steering became very difficult and an accident was barely avoided. This was extremely dangerous because of oncoming traffic. In fact i was almost struck by two vehicles, one coming at me and the other behind me. I restarted the car, drove through the intersection for about 5-10 seconds and the car stopped again, same steering difficulties. Started the car a third time and it moved forward with no more stops. This has happened at least 20 more time in the past 3 years. Additionally, within the past 6 months, it has been very difficult to put fuel into the tank. It would take about 20 minutes because the nozzle would shut off. I could only put in very small amounts each squeeze of the handle. I find this not only annoying but also question the design of the whole fuel receiving and storage system of this vehicle. I have asked my local dodge dealership about the problems and was advised that a new gas tank would have to be installed for approximately $1,200! a new gas tank? that would confirm in my mind that these problems are caused absolutely by a design flaw and should be recalled and repaired asap before there are fatalities linked to this flaw.
Driving to the beach, suddenly all warning lights on dashboard came on, then engine shut off, loss of power, then thick white smoke coming from hood, then flames underneath the car, then within a minute the car was completely engulfed, destroying the engine compartment, and front seat, dashboard & windshield blew out...scariest thing ever.! i nearly escaped in time, lucky to have not been burned, lucky i got out alive... There should be a recalldodge charger r/t hemi, 2006 (5.7 liter)
While driving my 2006 dodge charger, it died as i was turning. The steering wheel locked on me completely.i took it in to our local dodge service center and they said they could not find anything wrong with it. A month and a half later the same problem happens, this time while stopped at a red light on our local highway. We have taken it back to the same dodge service center and they still cannot find anything wrong with it.i have been researching on line and this is a common problem with dodge vehicles.if they do not fix this and this causes an accident which injures one of my family members i will be suing dodge! this will turn into a class action lawsuit.
My car stalls after every fill up for fuel. I later discovered this was a common complaint causing random fires as well as rear end collisions from stalling onto freeways. I paid $40k for this vehicle. Manufacturer nor extended warranty covers this costly and dangerous defect. I would like for this problem to be rectified by a manufactures' recall or consumer reimbursement. Please contact me at [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

Engine stalls intermittently driving down the road and at stoplights.
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 criteriafor 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.
On several different days and times, the 2006 dodge charger cuts off in the middle of driving, when car comes to a halt/stop at a red light or stop sign and the engine cuts completely off yet the radio and lights still work. Just today, travelling within 7-8 miles from my work to home the car cut off 6 times and i am scared to death that this car will cause an accident. It sputters then shuts off but when u press teh gas it accelerates and continues forward. Or it'll cut off completely, in which i have to turn the key all the way off and sit for a few minutes before cranking back up. At that time it stalls to crank up before turning over completely. It can't be the starter or alternator because i can hear it turning over.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.the contact stated that while driving 45 mph, the vehicle stalled.the contact was able to restart the vehicle and took the vehicle to a local mechanic for inspection.the mechanic noticed engine sludge and advised that the build up of sludge caused the vehicle to stall.in addition, the engine needed to be replaced.the mechanic advised that anti-freeze mixed with the oil and caused the sludge build-up. The failure mileage was 57,000.
I have a 2006 dodge charger rt 5.7l hemi. I just recently purchased this car. At times when i am accelerating quickly or press wide open throttle the vehicle shuts off for a second and then cuts right back on. The check engine light comes on as well as the lightning bolt icon flashes and i also hear a chime as well. The rpms drop all the way to zero as if it is stalling and losing all power but immediately cuts right back on. Through research i have noticed this is an on-going problem with a lot of charger owners and a recall should have been issued by dodge by now before someone loses their life.

I bought my 2006 dodge charger r/t brand new in june of 2006.i always filled the tank with gas until the pump automatically shutoff.i never topped off with gas or continued filling the tank once the pump would automatically stop.this was never a problem for 5 years.last year in october of 2011 at around 73,000 miles the car would stall and turn off the engine occasionally right after filling up in live traffic usually at a stop light or parking lot driveway.i would have to put the transmission shifter from drive to park since the vehicle shut off and restart the car with no problem.today at 75,600 miles on march 27, 2012; i filled up as usual and the car engine turned off in traffic on 3 different occasions.i read on chrysler owners' forums online this is a common problem with plenty of chrysler vehicles and chrysler is aware of it.the fix is a whole new fuel tank with a better fuel vapor valve and the cost would run $1300-$2000 for various car, van, and truck owners.the only other method i was advised by a dodge service advisor was not to fill the car up all the way, perhaps to 3/4 of a tank full.this is dangerous for any driver when a car engine stops, steering locks, and there is traffic behind you.some drivers will not know how to react in this situation.chrysler should offer a recall to fix this problem with the gas tank instead of charging the owner.
Stalls and shut off after fill up.
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!
On 10/30/13 my 2006 dodge charger stalled on a major street without any warning.i had just filled the gas tank and was driving back to work.i had reached a speed somewhere between 40-50 when the car just stopped in the middle of the road.i was able to get it started and pull into a nearby parking lot and shut it off.i was shaken by the event, after collecting my thoughts i tried to re-start the car thinking if i let it idle for a bit it might be alright.the car ran momentarily then sort of choked and jolted then died.i tried once more but to no avail then had it towed to the dealer for service.they called the following day stating that they couldn't find anything wrong with it and we could pick it up.this same scenario happened twice before about this same time last year on two separate occasions.stalling several times at various speeds in both incidences.every time this happens i have just filled the tank using premium fuel.i spoke with the service manager and he didn't seem to be aware of a problem.i told him there are currently 54 claims all with the same problem and there definitely is a problem and i pray that someone finds a solution before some is seriously injured or killed.i no longer feel safe in my 2006 dodge charger.
Vehicle stalls out intermittently after refueling. This happens when vehicle is stopped or slowing for a stop. Had vehicle examined and no trouble codes are in the computer.
Rocker arm ticking in engine to soon for that kind of mechanical problem to happen. When i went to the dealer 5 other people were their with the same problem. I also looked online hundreds of others have same problem.
Vehicle shuts off when stopped at stopped or when slowing down . I have had pcm, ecm, coils, and spark plugs and still experiencing same shut off.
When temps. Were cold less than 25 degress the accelerator would would stick at 4,000 rpm. I could put my foot under the gas pedal and lift it up to a normal idle. The throttle is electronically controlled. Here in michigan with more than 90" of snow this season an accident was waiting to happen, very unsafe. I told the dealer what was wrong and i expected a repair $495.00 parts and labor. I called chrysler customer service 4 days of conversation got me nowhere. I paid a $99.50 for diagnoses and took it elsewhere. The gas pedal assembly was replaced. Apon a under hood inspection the connector that plugged in the front of the air itake was removed, throttle plate actuator. When i drove it in i could accelerate, my 6 mile ride home had a top speed of 20 mph and 2 dash lites were on. I went to kevin [service write up] and he just blamed it on the gas pedal assembly...wrong. The gas pedal assembly has no sign of damage, rust or anything to cause this problem.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While the vehicle was in the parking area she noticed the vehicle was overheating. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop where the mechanic stated the fan motor and the cooling relay system had to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The vin was not available. The approximate failure mileage was 81,000.
In sept. 2008, dec. 2008, may 11 2009, may 21, 2009,both cooling fans quit working completely causing a sudden rise in cooling temps. Since december the dealership has replaced the fans at n/c. On june 1 2009 the low speed cooling fan has quit working causing a hotter than normal operating temp of the cooling system, as high as 230 degrees. Everything possible has been checked on the car by the dealership & phone calls to chrysler by the dealership were unable to find any reason for these fans to fail this often. I bought the car new in september 2005. This is the 5th failure of this component since september of 2008.(three related voqs from same complainant: 10272632,10267070, 10269939)
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.the check engine light continues to illuminate and, occasionally, the vehicle begins to shake.the contact has taken the vehicle to the dealer three times.initially, the dealer could not find any failure with the vehicle.two weeks later, the contact returned to the dealer and was informed that there was cooling system failure and they flushed the cooling system.two weeks later, the failure recurred and the vehicle was returned to the dealer, where it currently remains.the failure mileage was 17,000 and current mileage was 17,900.updated 12/11/07
2006 dodge charger r/t 5.7 engine. Both cooling fan motors have gone out 4 times since sept. 2008. The first replacement set lasted till december 08, 2008.that set lasted until may 11, 2009. That replacement set lasted until may 21, 2009. Each time the car has been completely checked for a cause of failure, which shows everything to be normal. This set from may 11 had 1 motor completely locked up. There is no warning signs of impending failure. The temp gauge needle immediately spikes into the red area and the temp readout went to above 240 degrees from 195 degrees in a matter of seconds. The fan blades show signs of hitting the shroud, but on inspection the fan blades and shroud show no signs of deformity and are the same size as normal. This is the 4th failure in approximately 8 months with the last only being 10 days from repair to failure. The dealership has been fantastic, chrysler was called and could offer no suggestions other than checking everything associated with the cooling system & electrical system which were normal. Each time the cooling fan motors were replaced, only to fail within days to a few months. The last time on may 21 i had to hurry and shut the engine off, in traffic, and coast to a side street to let the engine cool down. (three related voqs from same complainant: 10272632,10267070, 10269939)
My 2006 dodge charger r/t experienced an overheating engine. After my mechanic performed many tests, he found out the a/c fan had numerous defects. The a/c fan broke apart, causing the engine cooling fan to also fail - resulting my vehicle overheating. This faulty a/c fan is apparently a known issue but not important enough for a recall. Thankfully, i was in town and not on the road because my engine temp spiked to red when the fans failed. My mechanic suggests i replace the fan periodically, to keep from having it continue to fail and damage the entire cooling system.
The rocker bearing on the top side of the motor was broken (set back and not rolling. I had a heating problem with the car and had it back to the dealership . At which time they replaced the thermostat and told me that if i had a problem that they would deal with it then. Well now is then and i am replacing the motor that i changed the oil every 3000-5000 miles they even said it is the cleanest motor they had ever seen. So the mobil 1 0-40 did not help. I have had problems with this car for awhile. First the brakes went out at 13,000 miles in which a service bulletin was out on , because the wrong system was put on at the factory . So i had to replace the brake system because it had 13,000 miles on it and out of the 12 month 12,000 mile warranty. I had called them numerous times about the concern of the temp. Of the engine and was told that these cars run a little hotter than others. It turned out that again something from the factory where a service notice put out short of a recall and they are not required to disclose those. I really believe that nothing is going to be done about this , but enough is enough. The mileage on the car is 109,000 miles . Car has never been driven hard .
Radiator cooling fan motors quit working & vehicle immediately pegged the temp gauge. The motors were hot when checking as soon as it happened. This has now happened in sept. 2008, nov. 2008 & april 2009. Replacing both of the motorssolved the problem the 1st 2 times. Vehicle has not yet been fixed on the 3rd failure. The mileage on the vehicle has been about 40,000 on 1st incident, 42,000 on 2nd incident & 45,000 on 3rd incident. (three related voqs from same complainant: 10272632,10267070, 10269939)
Coming to a stop at traffic red light, engine died. Put trans in neutral, restarted vehicle. Drove about 2 miles, stopped at red light, engine died. Repeated start procedure as above. Drove about 1/2 mile stopped at red light, on green made left turn across intersection. Halfway across intersection engine stopped. Gas tank 1/2 full. Took vehicle to dealer who informed me they had never heard of this problem. Yet many complaints on internet forums re this issue. Also many reports of engine stall in nhtsa website.dealer advised me they could not see any computer trouble codes and couldn't help. Never had any stalling issues until dealer serviced carseveral weeks before with new spark plugs, recalled cooling fan replace. Per factory recall. This car is no longer safe to drive!filed complaint with dodge by phone, rep said they have never heard of this engine stall before!!!!
I am about to file a lemon law complaint because dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 dodge charger r/t, since day four of my ownership.i have owned this car for 68 days and of those, i have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days.they have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate".the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission.of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks.i happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car.additionally, i have taken my car to two different mechanics (one dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions.i would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution.
The engines' rocker arms & lifters are tapping & causing engine to stall & consume more gas allbecause the chrysler-dodge dealership have been replacing only 5qts of oil rather than the 6qts the manual instructs. Nothing has been done by the dealer to correct this maintenance issue.
We have a 2006 dodge charger, always had all maintenance performed via dealership on scheduled time. Out of the blue, engine light starts to blink on/off, car hesitating. Dealership says the engine has completely failed, and we need a new one. Dealership states "something" in the exhaust system broke off and entered into the engine, causing it to ruin the engine, and we need a replacement engine. We have never had any issue with engine up to this point, and the car was taken into the dealership immediately when issues began. We still owe 4k on this car, and feel we have done everything within dealership/car requirements regarding having only the dealership work on this vehicle for every engine need.no warning, no prior issue(s), no reason for this to occur other than a failure with the manufacturing.
I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times to have issues fixed.each time i got the car back, it was worse.i had 13 issues originally with the car.i ended up suing, and got a very small settlement- dodge refused to cooperate.i still have each and every problem, and do not know what else to do.my car dies while in reverse, the brakes malfunction constantly, the window panel remains broken due to their inept work, the radio cuts off, the dash lights die @ night, etc.i would truly appreciate it if someone could actually help me.i do not know what else to do.i love my car dearly, but something needs to be done.the date i put as date of incident is when this all started.
Purchased july 14, 2006.it ran great with no problems until july 26.i went to take a left out of my company's parking lot and the car sputtered and would accelerate fast.i had to pull off on the left side of the road to get out of the way of oncoming traffic.i put it in neutral and gave it some gas.i attempted to go again when the traffic was clear and it sputtered more until i gave it a lot of gas and then it drove fine.i though it was an isolated incident so i drove it home.that night my wife, son and i took the car to the mall.upon leaving the mall it did it again and the engine light was on.the dealership was still open and close by so i drove it directly there.they gave me a loaner to drive while they attempted to fix it.on august 9, they gave the vehicle back to me.that night it did it again, except the vehicle actually died on me in the middle of traffic.the next day it was back to the dealer where is sat for 37 days while they tried to figure out what was wrong.they replaced all the oxygen sensors, the power control module, the wiring harnesses and i am sure there were some other things.they test drove it for 9 key cycles and 250 miles and were 98% confident they fixed it so i got the car back on september 15.the next day the same problem returned and i was 50 miles from home and this time the idling of the car was so rough that the car was visibly shaking.i had a friend follow me home and since it was a saturday night, the dealership was not open and would not be until monday.monday morning i started the car up and let it idle 5 minutes before leaving.when i got in, it was idling rough again and the engine light was flashing.i shut it down, called a tow truck and it is back at the dealership where it will stay because i am not taking it back.i have requested vehicle replacement from chrysler and the dealership.now here i am 5 days later and there is still no answer as to when i will get a new vehicle.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continue driving.

The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per an extended warranty. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vin and failure mileage were unknown. Consumer stated upon refueling and pulling out of the gas station, consumer's car started to struggle with power, the power steering and power brakes seemed to be severly reduced, and then the engine shut down. Happened second time. Consumer googled and found "2006 dodge charger stalls after fueling" updated 9/4/18
I have a 2006 dodge charger that attempts to stall ~ while driving and while sitting at a traffic light ~ and then will hesitate upon acceleration before lurching forward.no accident or injuries yet, but potential is there.miracle i haven't been rear ended or rear ended someone else.frightening to think of what could happen if traveling on a highway at around 60-65 mph and the car did stall.i found a forum online with numerous dodge charger owners experiencing the same problem.no recall that i can see...yet.i've had mine in the shop five times for this problem and it still acts up.

We own a 2006 dodge, charger sxt.it just passed 76,000 miles when we started smelling a strong odor of gas and exhaust.about a week later we heard exhaust noise and took it to our mechanic.when he checked it he found the right side exhaust manifold was broken into two pieces.he replaced the manifold and the dealership told him they were selling 15 right (passenger side manifolds every week.after he replaced it he said he still heard exhaust noise and recommended we contact chrysler.chrysler told us to take it to a dealer for diagnosis.we did and the left side manifold was also broken.the bill for both manifolds was $1035.20.chrysler has agreed to pay 50% of the dealers bill only or $250.96.there is obviously a serious defect when not only one, but both cast iron manifolds fail within 6,000 miles of the mandatory california epa warranty period for manifolds (70,000).i am seriously concerned because carbon monoxide fumes were entering the car when traveling 65mph.what would have happened if we had been stuck in los angeles traffic at 5-10mph.this defect should be immediately investigated before someone dies from carbon monoxide poisoning.
06 dodge charger with 33,000 miles.car has began to violently shake and engine light will begin blinking while almost stopped at a stop light or fully stopped. I have to shut the car off stopped at an intersection for a short time and then restart to get out of the intersection.i do not see how this can possible be safe for my passengers(3 & 7 yr old), myself or other cars. This has occurred 4 times since may 2008.the dealership has replaced oxygen sensor, flashed thepowertrain control module (saying lost communication with steering control module), and on july 29th replaced the powertrain control module.had car back a few days and backed out of a parking space, put car in drive and pushing the accelerator did nothing.after a few seconds the accelerator worked & i moved about 10 feet.the car started shaking violently/engine light began blinkingand i had to shut the car off.fortunately, no one was around me this time.when i restarted the car, the engine light stayed on constant(not blinking), which i have been told over & over by the dealership is safe to drive.i was able to drive the 2 miles home.took car into dealership again on aug 4, 2008.was told this time that there is a tsb & they have to order parts.but to pick it up until the parts come in that it is safe to drive.the consumer was told the vehicle had an evaporation leak. There were times when the vehicle would not accelerate, the engine light and esp/bas light illuminated. The dealer then stated the cause of the problem was a multi-cylinder misfire at cylinders 2-4.updated 10/09/08.

No signal available for sirius sat radio. Call sirius and they confirmed my radio was active but was not picking up a signal. Took it to dodge where they determined it was the sat antenna. 3-4 day delivery time.
My car's engine stalls without warning while driving. I had problems with this when i bought the car within the same week from a used car dealer. It now affects my headlights by making them flash on and off while driving. The car has been in and out of the shop for the past year and no one can seem to find the issue. There is a past time device installed which interfered with the security system. The dealership took out the security system and shortly thereafter the engine stalls began. Engine stallsoccur while driving or stopped at traffic lights. It happens randomly but not often. The headlights happen everyday and is getting worse. The vehicle is becoming undrivable but no service tech can find the issue.

The headlights on my car started flashing almost every time i turn them on, and this is forcing me to not be able to drive at night. It started with a flash on 12/2/2014, and now it occurs every time i drive the vehicle. I have been told that it could be anything in the front end causing a short and have checked for recalls but this is not a determined recall at this time. The dealership has been no help and wants to charge extra money just to look at it. Considering i have seen many other drivers with the same make/ model/ year vehicle in car forums and blogs regarding this very same issue, i'm hoping this report will help push for an investigation as i have to drive for my employment and do not want to get a traffic ticket for faulty equipment.
While driving my headlights, and parking lights flicker like a christmas tree or sometimes just go out, for a few seconds. I notice this happens in the cold weather especially.
I was on my way to work tuesday morning and my headlights, foglights & dashboard lights kept flickering off & on even when the knob was turned off. I called dodge to see if there was a recall i was told that it wasn't. However, after reading the blogs & reviews this appears to be an ongoing problem with the same year, make & model that i have.
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.
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.
Head lights flash while driving then shut off then come back on. As i down shifted on the freeway the car died and check engine light came on now i'm stuck with a broke down car. It shifted really hard and died at the same time the check engine came on

" takata recall" bought my 2006 dodge charger last march had it for 3 days the engine blew. Replaced the engine with a v6 2008 2.7 with only 57000 . About 6 months after started to get the lightning bolt .then stalling with the lightning bolt while driving 55mph on the highway and in the city it also does it at stop signs and sometimes wont start back right away.. I have no codes no check engine light no warning. My dash lights and head lights flicker especially while driving. We tried everything to fix this i'm very scared to drive my car anywheres.. Please help figure out whats going on with these problems. We already replaced the computer, gas pedal,sensors and the engine. Mileage on the body 260000 on the second engine 63000.
While driving approximately 60 m.p.h. On the freeway, all engine lights came on and the needles all dropped. They quickly returned to normal and the engine did not falter, radio did not go off, etc. This has happened several times over the course of 2 months and i took it to the station where they could find nothing wrong. About 2 months later, the headlights began to flicker on and off, sometimes for 10 seconds or more. This has been happening for about 4 days.i checked all the fuses and they appear secure. The car is currently back at the station to be checked again. As it is december, i can't be without headlights on my morning and evening commute to/from work.
This issue started approx 3 weeks ago. The head lights will not stay on they flicker off and on as if i was flashing my lights to alert another driver, when they are actually doing this on its on. This is not only a safety issue, but i'm afraid i will get pulled over by law officials. And my job requires me to have to be at work at night.this is very disturbing when this happens and they stay off at times for 30 to 40 seconds at a time and i'm having to hold the bright light arm to have lights. The passenger airbag light comes on from time to time saying it is not on, and there are brake issues as well.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the fog lights failed to illuminate while driving at night. The lights came back on, but continued to fail. The contact had to drive the rest of the way home using only the fog lights. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed. The contact repaired the vehicle on his own. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 83,000.
While driving the car will cut off . The lights have flickered off and on. The room needle goes down likes is cutting off and then goes back up. I have the charger 2006 rt police package.this has happen while driving,turning at corner, and sitting at the light. These issues have been going on for the last 6 months.
There is something going on with the electrical system which causes the instrument cluster to completely shut down and lights to flicker when driving. Usually happens when car heater is on or driving for a long period of time. I have a video of the issue and showed it to cerritos dodge service department but they didnt acknowledge issue.
About 1 year ago as i was driving along interstate 95 the instrument needles all went to 0 or far left then went back to normal immediately.as time went on this occurred more frequently. About six months later as i was driving at night the needles dropped off and the head lights went off and stayed off until i switched from the auto position to the manual on position.the next time it happened i was at a stop light and the car cut off in the middle of the road.i called a police officer because i thought i might get rear-ended.after about 5 minutes the car started but ran rough.just this past weekend while driving at night in a parking lot the needles dropped off, the headlights went out, and the brakes malfunctioned.
Brake lights first went out on 09/08/2006 under normal driving conditions on our 2006 dodge charger r/t. Dealership has fixed the problem on four separate times. On 06/03/2007 brake lights went out again and dealership once again attempted to fix the problem. When we got home with the vehicle, the brake lights were already out again. The dealership refuses to try and fix the problem, saying dodge/daimler chrysler needs to step in and replace the car. As of 07/10/2007 our dodge charger r/t sits in our driveway unable to drive the car while we get the run around from the dealership and from dodge/daimler chrysler.the dealership said they found the following problems with the brake lights; blown fuse, kink in the wiring, brake light switch module, right brake light assembly and 3rd brake light was arching. The repaired or replaced parts are not available.
I am about to file a lemon law complaint because dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 dodge charger r/t, since day four of my ownership.i have owned this car for 68 days and of those, i have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days.they have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate".the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission.of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks.i happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car.additionally, i have taken my car to two different mechanics (one dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions.i would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution.
Dashboard guage so and headlights lose power.
Headlight switch appears to be flaking out; with switch on headlights and associated parking and dashboard light flutter on and off, same effect when i turn switch to off position. Just started about a month ago at 90k miles. I believe the headlight switch in the dashboard is defective.

I purchased my 2006 dodge charger in october 06.since my purchase i have maintained my car regularly. I was driving on a highway with my wife when she spotted smoke coming for the front hood. As i started to pull over flames were coming out.she yelled for us to run from the car and as we did the glass burst out and the car was engulfed in flames.my car insurance company did forensic testing and saysit was started by something igniting (fluid). Chrysler claims there was no manufacturing defect and now i am out of a car and money. Chrysler pretty much told me i am screwed and they will not do anything about me getting a new car or reimbursement for the two years i paid into the car.they definitely do not to care and sent a form letter instead of anyone personally calling.we could have died or been seriously injured and when i called corporate they said the investigators decision was final. So like i said i am screwed big time.
After fueling vehicle, the engine died within half mile on road.put car in neutral to start engine, drove another 1-2 miles where car stalled and died again.has happened after filling up car and only with full tank, stalling occurs within 0-15 miles, then does not stall.have read several posting and discussions about this issue with same model/year cars.heard about possible investigation for faulty fuel/vapor separator valve with cuts off fuel to engine and causes engine to stall.had this happened to a driver who did not know how to react properly, or had a distracted driver not see my car stalled or stopped, this could have resulted in a serious problem.i had no power steering or power brakes and was not able to immediately restart vehicle in traffic, after momentary loss of power and finally able to restart the engine was i able to maneuver off the roadway safely.
Filled gas tank and then approx 10 miles into my drive car chug chugged a couple times then stalled. At first car wouldn't restart but when i pressed gas pedal and turned key on next attempt it turned over. Drove short distance and stalled again. This happened again and again when i filled my tank to full. Eventually i found that if i did not fill tank to full i was ok.
Vehicle stallsafter filling up with gas due to a faulty valve in the gas tank. Could cause a collision if the car stalls in front of on coming traffic. This problem is not only common to the charger but to all chrysler vehicles. The only solution is to replace the gas tank due to the fact that the valve is not serviceable.
Vehicle is stalling after filling up with gas. Occurs when idling (such as at a stoplight) or when decelerating at which it also loses the power steering.highly concerned this will occur in the middle of a busy intersection. Can restart the car usually after two attempts. May go to the next light/stop and same incident will repeat itself.after driving the car for a few miles...(presumably as the fuel level goes down)...car behaves as normal - without issue.symptoms are very much like a bad tank of gas.took car to the dealer and they were unable to diagnose the problem.dealer ran diagnostic checks and no issues are reported.dodge refuses to do anything until dealer can diagnose the problem. Yet, there is the exact same type of investigation that has already occurred (pe13016) - http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/defect/results.cfm?action_number=pe13016&searchtype=quicksearch&summary=true where chrysler acknowledges the problem with my 5.7l engine. Is frustrating as can take the car to the dealership shortly after the problem (when it is occurring) and they inspect to find everything appears to be in find working order. Yet, i certainly know the problem exists. :-(
After filling my tank i drove away from the station and my car shut off while driving down the road. It took a few attempts before my vehicle actually started again. I drove down the road towards my house and it stalled on me again. This time i was a little faster to turn on the vehicle but it stuttered all the way home. This happens every time i fill my tank. To be sure of the issue i ran my gas tank to half tank and refilled it. The same stalling outcome was present. I recently took my car in for repair of this issue but after the repair it continued with the stalling. After this happened to me on monday march 18, 2014 while my children were in the vehicle i decided to go back and get it looked at again by the dealer.my car is currently (march 19, 2014) at the dealer for the second time to try and get this issue fixed. I see on your website that nhtsa action number : pe13016 has been filed for this identical issue that i am having. I called chrysler to see if they would give me the letter to owner for extended warranty on the gas tank and i was told that i could not get it because my car does not have this issue, yet my car is at the dealer right now getting this same issue fixed. As usual i feel that chrysler is trying to ignore the issue and not give support to those who have purchased their product. My dealer has been helpful but they said they could not cover me under this extended warranty unless it appeared with my vin # in the chrysler system.this issue is very dangerous especially if you are fueling up near a highway and then getting onto the highway. While chrysler claims that this is low risk to motor vehicle safety it is high risk to human safety. We can replace cars, we can not replace people.all i ask for is reimbursement for a manufacture defect or an extended warranty.
This has happened multiple times and seems to be increasing in frequency. When at idle, for example at a traffic light or in stop-and-go traffic, the engine has stalled. This happened again last night as well as this morning and it has me concerned. I have read that others complain of this happening with a full tank but that is not true for me. I never have over-filled the tank and even with it being a little over 1/2 full currently and it has stalled twice. I've found the active investigation (pe13016) and would like to be added to that group please.please let me know what else i can provide to help with this investigation and possible resolutions.thanks!
2006 dodge charger r/t (close to 70k miles) failed to accelerate shortly after fuel tank was partially filled (3/4 of gas tank).incident occurred when making a left turn on a 2 way/double lane city street.as i proceeded to make a left turn when a clear section of oncoming traffic was present, the vehicle suddenly stalled in the middle of the opposite "oncoming" traffic and failed to accelerate.in order to achieve proper acceleration, i had to restart the vehicle (while oncoming traffic was forced to stop, abruptly).fortunately the incident did not involve any injuries nor fatalities.therefore the reason why this safety complaint is being submitted.no previous signs of this issue was ever noticed, nor did it happened before.
My car started to stall after i filled up at the gas station.i pulled out of the gas station and as i was approaching a traffic light my car started jerking as if was going to shut off.
I gassed up, and then drove off. When slowing down for a stop light, my car's oil light came on and stalled out. It restarted, but then shut off again. I was able to re-start and then travel 35 miles each way visiting family. This happened again on december 3rd after gassing up, it shut down on me when i got to work in the morning, then stalled again on the way home. Then again yesterday, dec. 4th 2013 when i got to work, i backed into my parking spot, and it shut down. Then leaving for the day, i was going down the parking garage about to exit, and it shut off before i could leave my building. I then drove it around the block, and it shut down again, and i had a hard time starting it. It finally started, and i headed home, and it stalled in traffic again, not even 10 minutes later. I was able to start it, and make it home. And it's sitting at home today, december 5th, 2013.
Minutes after filling my tank with gas, i drove less than a mile and turned into a parking lot. I was still driving, around 15 mph, when i heard a ding, and immediately noticed a loss of steering control. I pressed the brake and quickly noticed a loss of braking as well. It was then i realized the car had stalled while i was still moving!thankfully i had no one around and was on a straight stretch where i could slowly come to a stop, put it in park and restart. I pulled into a parking space, and the car proceeded to stall out 2 more times just sitting there.there was no warning symptoms ahead of time - perfectly smooth idle at the correct rpm, then it just drops to 0 as if the key were turned off. I ran into the store for less than 2 minutes, came out and drove home. I haven't seen any problems since then (this happened less than 24 hours ago).there were no codes thrown.i've owned this car since '07 when it had 5k miles on it. With a little over 88k miles i've never seen anything like this happen before.needless to say if this happened in traffic it would be highly dangerous.note: this is a 2006 daytona r/t. Early manufacture date of 9/22/2005.
When gas tank is filled, car will stall a few blocks later.dodge says the sensor in the gas tank is faulty and causes the system to suck gas backwards through the vapor recovery lines and deposit it into the engine, flooding the car.all power is lost to power steering, brakes, and drive train.if you are turning when this happens, it is very dangerous and will cause a crash.total loss of control over the vehicle.dealership and dodge/chrysler acknowledge the danger (i have the emails to prove it).they say it happens all the time and they will only help with fixing the problem if you (nhtsa) asks them to recall the cars. Note that the sensor inside the gas tank is the problem.the part can be replaced, but dodge only sells the entire gas tank as an assembly, causing increased cost on those of us that experience this problem.we all asking you (the government) to help keep us and our families safe by requesting dodge recall vehicles and replace this defective design.there is no way a simple vapor recovery sensor inside the gas tank should cause the gasoline to flow the wrong direction, resulting in a stall that produces complete loss of control over the vehicle.it is worse when performing turns (u-turns) or at turns. This is a danger to pedestrians, as the driver does not expect sudden loss of all power steering and brakes.the gas station's fuel pump cut off after accurately filling the tank and stopped when full.the tank is not over-full.it's a defective design (admitted by dodge) that causes gasoline to be sucked up in the wrong direction, flooding the engine compartment with excess fuel.please assist the taxpayers by keeping us safe and recalling the vehicles with this design to get the parts replaced with ones that will never fault out in the same manner.
The first time my wifes 2006 dodge charger car shut off/stalled after we filled up the car, i thought it may have been some bad fuel. But no way -as i have filled the car several times now and the same thing happens regardless of where we get the fuel. Last night, i filled the 2006 dodge charger gas tank on a trip and was getting back onto the highway and the car stalled....lost power steering, etc...had to quickly place in neutral and restart...then put into drive and it was okay for a few moments. Then the car started sputtering and stalled again. I pulled to the side of the intestate 75 and came to a complete stop. Had a hard time cranking it, but then it did crank. I started to pull off and it stalled again. After the 3rd time i was able to continue down the highway for about 2 miles and it started sputtering. It did this about 4-5 times and then ran okay. I drove on home, which was about 40 miles and figured that the stalling problem was behind us (at least we fill up again). This morning my wife took the car to go to the gym and she had to turn around as the car kept stalling.it is definitely worse right after the car is filled up with fuel, and sometimes it shuts off in the gas station parking lot.
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.
When i fill my 2006 dodge charger up with gas. It will run about 1/4 mile then stop running. It will crank back up. Run just a little ways and stall again. It does this three times. Then runs good until i fill the gas tank up again and it starts to stall the same way .this almost caused me to crash on 75 south. This car does not show any codes called detroit they say that they don't have a problem with this, but on the net hundreds of people are having the same problem.
The car stalled just after fueling when attempting to cross a busy road.i was luck that i was able to restart after a few trys and get out of the way of on coming traffic.the car stalled two more times within one mile.each time, i blocked traffic.i have read that this is a common problem with my vehicle.the car was towed to a dealer since i did not feel safe driving it any longer.
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.
After filling with gas the engine stalled and died. It has continued to do this every time the tank is filled.
After filling the gas tank up car stalls within minuteson busy highway interstate and it fluids out where you are stuck in traffici've had plenty ofmechanicsto look at the far and they cant detect the problemi need someassistance with thisissueare i'mgonna end up causing a bad wreck with the issue of my car pleasecontact me[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Filled my car with gas, drive approximately 1/4 mile to a stop light and the car died. Restarted with no problem but died again when stopping at the next light, about 1 mile farther..restarted and drove very badly for the next 6 miles...didn't do it again until i filled with gas.took it to a mechanic and he said the error code was contaminated oil.i had recently had oil changed, but he changed it again and it didn't do it for a few months.it has now started ding it again, everytime i fill the tank with gas..am taking it to dealer tomorrow (11-2013).
The car shut off completely while driving right after refueling and leaving the gas station. It shut off 3 more times after that.
Car stalls and cuts off after refueling. I always put 89 octane or higher gasoline in my vehicle. This is a severe safety issue because you can get rammed from behind when in traffic i.e. Washington, dc area the busiest streets in america. The dealer suggested the consumer spend $1800 to replace the fuel tank.updated 02/06/14
When temps. Were cold less than 25 degress the accelerator would would stick at 4,000 rpm. I could put my foot under the gas pedal and lift it up to a normal idle. The throttle is electronically controlled. Here in michigan with more than 90" of snow this season an accident was waiting to happen, very unsafe. I told the dealer what was wrong and i expected a repair $495.00 parts and labor. I called chrysler customer service 4 days of conversation got me nowhere. I paid a $99.50 for diagnoses and took it elsewhere. The gas pedal assembly was replaced. Apon a under hood inspection the connector that plugged in the front of the air itake was removed, throttle plate actuator. When i drove it in i could accelerate, my 6 mile ride home had a top speed of 20 mph and 2 dash lites were on. I went to kevin [service write up] and he just blamed it on the gas pedal assembly...wrong. The gas pedal assembly has no sign of damage, rust or anything to cause this problem.
While stopped at a traffic light, after having just left a gas station and filling the gas tank, the vehicle stalled. This has happened numerous times now at slow speeds as well. Does not occur every time, but does occur often and always within minutes of refueling.
Immediately after fueling vehicle to regular capacity and automatic shutoff - no "topping off". Left the filling station and the car stalled several times, each time in a precarious position such as decelerating to make a turn or coming to a stop at a light.car dies losing power steering and breaks.thought this might be bad gas but it has since repeated every time the car is refueled.this is becoming a serious safely concern as the condition is common during the first 50 or so miles of driving after a fill up.upon speaking with the dealer they blamed the issue on the end user overfilling the tank.as the only user of the vehicle it is never overfilled nor ?topped off?.
While driving with cruise control on the car just stalled out for about 3-5 seconds and kicked back on.this has now become more frequent and also stalls while stopped now.i have spent over 1300$ trouble shooting and going back and forth to the mechanic.only to start searching and came across this investigation.i just want the car to run correctly.
This problem has occurred during the last two fill ups. The cars engine will rev up and then start to run rough and then eventually stall. Once car is restarted it seems to run fine. Then will driving down the road and coming to a stop the engine will rev up and car will jump forward. It may run rough or stall you just never know. This all continues to happen until the gas level in the tank drops down some after driving for a couple of days or if the gas cap is left loose. What is happening is the evap vent on the fuel tank deteriorates and eventually allows fuel to pass threw it into the purge solenoid and then into the intake on the motor. This extra fuel being dumped into the motor causes it to rev up and jerk forward when this occurs. So every time the evap purge solenoid comes on it will suck gas into the motor instead of vapors. This extra fuel is like hitting the gas pedal each time. Leaving the cap loose won't let the system seal and work as designed, it's a crutch to avoid the problem. Each time this has occurred with my car i removed the purge solenoid and poured gas out of it. There should never be gas in these purge solenoids. The only fix is a fuel tank replacement at over $600.00 for the tank alone. One day i'm afraid i'll run into something or somebody when this engine revs up and jumps forward.
Typical problem related by many after refueling the engine dies and thus, for over a year now, i never fill to more than 16 gallons.but, if one turns left with fuel level around 16 gallons, the engine quickly dies leaving the vehicle vulnerable in the middle of a busy intersection without steering or brakes.left hand turns now have to be made at a very slow speed after refueling which can also create a dangerous situation.this is clearly a recall issue and chrysler needs to own up to this sorry issue with a prestigious automobile.
Each time after filing the gas tank the car stalls and engine dies before able to make a left or right turn or taking off from stop light. It does this repeatedly until driven a few miles. Stalls at the most critical time when merging into traffic. Getting to the point now that this vehicle will be junked before i get killed or someone else. Chrysler does not honor their extended tank warranty under the agreement as per the nhtsa agreement on feb.14,2014. Therefore as a taxpayer that paid for their bailout ,next time let them fail. No more chrysler products for my family and friends ever.
This is not the first time this has happened and this is flat out dangerous! after driving all day i was almost out of gas so i stopped at one of my regularly used gas stations. As like i always do when i get gas i got a full tank and i do not overfill, once the handle pops i'm done pumping. Vehicle started fine and i drove off the gas station with no problems. Once on the main road i approached my first turn and in mid turn going about 20mph my vehicle just stalled,no warning or nothing it just randomly stalled. Once the car rolled off the main street i put it in park and tried to start it up again. No luck, the vehicle wouldn't start. It took a few tries but managed to get it running again. To my surprise i didn't have a check engine light so i sat there for a while revving the engine and even shut it off and restarted it, everything seemed fine so i went on my way. Shortly after i drove off it happened again and this time i was just driving straight. From the gas station to my home is about 10min and in that short time frame the vehicle randomly stalled 4 times! this went on for a few days until my fuel lvl was about 3/4 full? after researching online on dodge forums i was able to find out what may and most likely be the issue with my vehicle. Some say its a collapsed gas tank which affects a check valve in the gas tank that is for the evap system. When you have a full tank and the system opens up to release gas vapors back into the engine it's actually sending raw fuel back into the engine which in turn floods the vehicle and causes the stall. Of course this part can't be replaced or fixed since the tank and those parts are sold as one piece which is big $$$! my only fix for this until this is recalled is i don't get a full tank anymore. This is a serious and dangerous issue which should be recalled immediately before someone gets into a serious accident.
My car stalls after refueling the tank. It does it at stops and slowing speeds. It has happened in the middle of turns etc. I t has almost caused me to crash. I went to my mechanic who in turn said i needed an entire fuel tank $1700. While debating on the having it fixed of course checking my finances. I went on line and seen numerous articles about this issue. In the articles you guys are mentioned for having done a federal probe into the situation and chrysler extending a warranty on the problem to life time. Well then i went to the dealer and brought it to their attention and nobody knew anything about it. They charged me $65 to diagnose the car and proceeded to give me an estimate of $1900. They then gave me the number to chrysler who in turn knew nothing of the problem and sent me on my way saying there is not a problem and no warranty. I need to know if in fact this is a legitimate claim by the nhtsa in the articles out there. Some of these articles are as recent as of february 2014. I have almost had two accidents from this issue. It has taken numerous scenarios to trouble shoot this and when reading the articles brought everything to light. Please help. The articles mention 2006 chrysler 300,dodge charger, & dodge magnum with v8 5.7 & 6.1liter engines. This is what i have.
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.
After filling up fuel, went to accelerate and car started sputtering, this happened while merging onto freeway. Second time was when stopped at a stop light, light turned green, pressed the gas pedal and engine light came on and car died. Was able to coast 2 lanes over to the side of road. Car would restart but die after 30 seconds. Had to car towed home. Third time, car died at a busy intersection and was able to get it started and moved to a safe place. Fourth time it died while turning into a shopping center. This is an extremely dangerous fault in the car and should be a recall and paid by chrysler, luckily i didn't get into an accident with someone rear ending me. My car is at the dealership with a $2000 charge to have this fixed. I should not have to be paying this, as it is a defect in the car itself!!
After filling my car at the gas station, car would stall during acceleration immediately filling gas tank. It would choke or try to cut off when approaching a stop light or stop sign. Sometimes eventually shutting off in the middle of road, requiring multiple key turns to get vehicle started again.
My car was recalled for the cooling fans letting my car overheat. The dealer replaces the fans and the asks if i want him to fix my overheating issue. I thought that was why my cooling fans were the issue. It stopped overheating for a month maybe at most the i had to have a new radiator, t-stat, and water pump. Within a couple weeks on my way to my doctor the temperature gauge dropped to 140 and died. I started it up and it has a quick knocking noise that seem to tick too quickly to be a rod plus the car doesn't die. I turned it off after hearing the knocking and had it towed home. Now my brother is letting me drive his car and mine is a yard ornament.
After filling up the gas tank the vehicle stalls after driving a short distance. Has done this numerous times. It will sputter for some time and continue to cut off several times before driving smoothly. I took it to the dealership, and they stated that it was a faulty gas tank. After removing the gas tank, i received a phone call from the dealership later that day. They advised me that the fuel pump was cracked. The total cost went from $1300 to an additional $300.
After filling my car up at a gas station i was entering the freeway and my car sputtered and stalled on me on the on ramp to the freeway. I was almost rearended and the car locked up and it was difficult to steer. Further diagnoses from the dealership showed that the evap valve was bad on the car and needed a new gas tank. Apparently this problem is happening with a lot of dodge chargers, magnums and chrysler 300's.
Engine dies when at an idle and low speeds.cranks right back but will die at low mph.almost always dies at red lights and stop signs.also dies when about to make turns at low mph.dealership has no idea what is wrong.has been doing this for almost a year.
When out of town i filled up my dodge charger and headed to a hotel. On the road my car began to stall, but not completely lose power. When i slowed to make a turn it completely died. At the time i thought i had gotten bad gas, and had my car towed and repaired. However, it continued to do the same thing only after filling my tank. I took my car to firestone for a diagnostic and the mechanic told me that i would need a new fuel tank. He told me that many people with my car have been having the same issues. I googled the issues i was having and sure enough he was correct. I eventually got the gas tank replaced at firestone and there hasn't been any issues since.
On the last 2 occasions of filling our vehicle with gas the car will purge and stall, loosing all power. I happens for a couple days and then goes away. We took it to the dealer and they cannot find any codes, they also told us do not fill the tank. I do not understand this and i do not feel safe in this vehicle anymore. I have not been filling the tank and so far so good but not the answer. Its very scary to just stall after filling your car with gas and there is nothing you can do. I need help..
The car bucked and acted like it was going to stall entering the freeway.this happened after filling up with fuel at the gas station.this condition has progressively gotten worst.when i fill up, i can only fill to approximately 3/4 full tank in order to prevent stalling when stopping or accelerating around a turn.apparently there is a problem with the roll over valve on the top of the fuel tank.it stops working over time and allows raw fuel to enter the evaporative system that is only designed to handle vapors.this causes the bucking, stalling condition.this condition is extremely dangerous in traffic.this valve is not a serviced item and only comes with the fuel tank.the cost of a new fuel tank is about $800 + labor.dodge should replace the tank for a minimal fee because of this defect.please pursue before someone gets seriously injured or killed due to this issue.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the vehicle would stall whenever he drove a quarter of a mile after refueling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the roll over valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The current and failure mileages were 70,000.updated 06/12/12*ljthe consumer stated the valve only be replaced by replacing the gas tank. Updated 06/13/12
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 due to my car stalling but i fear that someone else may not be so lucky and that someone is going to be seriously hurt. There are numerous vehicles like mine on the road with the same problem and its a shame that someone has to risk serious injury due to chrysler's inability to do whats right.
On 10/30/13 my 2006 dodge charger stalled on a major street without any warning.i had just filled the gas tank and was driving back to work.i had reached a speed somewhere between 40-50 when the car just stopped in the middle of the road.i was able to get it started and pull into a nearby parking lot and shut it off.i was shaken by the event, after collecting my thoughts i tried to re-start the car thinking if i let it idle for a bit it might be alright.the car ran momentarily then sort of choked and jolted then died.i tried once more but to no avail then had it towed to the dealer for service.they called the following day stating that they couldn't find anything wrong with it and we could pick it up.this same scenario happened twice before about this same time last year on two separate occasions.stalling several times at various speeds in both incidences.every time this happens i have just filled the tank using premium fuel.i spoke with the service manager and he didn't seem to be aware of a problem.i told him there are currently 54 claims all with the same problem and there definitely is a problem and i pray that someone finds a solution before some is seriously injured or killed.i no longer feel safe in my 2006 dodge charger.
After filling up gas tank, without over filling by rounding off, the car will stall out within 1/4 mile of running.it takes time cranking engine to start, then will buck and stall occasionally until it is driven at least 2-3 miles.all power steering and brakes are lost at this time as well.
I have a 2006 dodge daytona r/t charger.in january of this year, with ~185k thousand miles on the car, it began stalling after fueling.the car will suddenly die and causes loss of power steering and brakes, and is often difficult to restart.this is causing extremely dangerous conditions, as it occurs when pulling out into traffic and/or moving through intersections.because the car suddenly stalls, you are left in the middle of the street and at times, fast-moving traffic and unable to start the car to move it out of the way.
Car stalled at stop light.took a few tries to get started again.this happens after refueling the car.this is not the first time this has occurred, i am irritated that it keeps happening.
I have a 2006 dodge charger r/t with a 5.7l engine. My car has started to randomly stall mostly at slower speeds when approaching a stop light or making a turn. There is no warning that it is going to happen, it just sputters, bucks and then stalls. There are no codes after restarting the car. It will restart if i put it in either park or neutral but continues to chug and sputter after restarting. It will do this for awhile and then will not happen again for some time. I never know when it is going to do it or how long it will last. It is very unnerving since it happens at lights and in the middle of intersections. It has happened a few times at highway speeds and thankfully i was able to quickly restart it in neutral and not get into a bad situation! it's very frightening since i live in a big city with heavy traffic. This is very dangerous!!!!! after looking into this issue with the car and seeing the number of complaints, it is obvious that the manufacturer needs to address the problem and fix it. A recall would be appropriate.
Engine stalls and dies after filling up car. Usually dies 4 times than no more problems until i fill the car up again. I have worked with my mechanic for almost 1 year trying to find the problem. The solutions so far is to not fill the tank up all the way.car complaints.com show that nhtsa is investigating these complaints. Says that you have closed the investigation and found the problem to be the fuel shut-off float in the multifunction control value stiicks.i call chrysler assistance about the warranty on the fuel tank being extended to life time to cover this problem but they said they did not know anything about it. Lady said she had receive 3 calls about the problem in the last week. But just told me to contact nhtsa.
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.
When vehicle gets filled up with fuel, the vehicle will stall and also quit running at idle and while accelerating.called the local dealership they have not heard anything about the problem. Searched online and found the national highway traffic safety administration has closed an investigation on this problem.supposedly chrysler is fixing it, but like i previously wrote, the lawton chrysler jeep dodge dealership has no knowledge of what is going on.
Filled my tank at gas station, got back on the highway and the car stalled (at over 60mph).car would restart w/out problem, but it happened several more times.it cleared up and i assumed it was bad gas (water, perhaps).had company in town the next week.same, filled tank, got on ih-35, and the car stalled on a flyover (much to the dismay of those driving behind me).i lost power steering/braking and almost ran into to wall (with 3 other people in the car).i found others who'd had similar trouble, and knew i couldn't afford the new tank.recently, i saw that dodge had extended the warranty on the tank; so i took it to the dealership where i get my maintenance done.they confirmed it was a fuel tank problem (the same others have had), but denied that the warranty would cover it.i called dodge customer service, and they said the same.i know others have had this happen at low speeds, but both times it occurred going over 60mph for me, and i feel it is a safety hazard.
Stalls and shut off after fill up.
The problem started back in december of 2013 at 77,000 miles. When i fill up at the gas station (i never top of) the car stalls and shuts off. It happens every time i fill up. I pull out of the gas station and it shuts off in the middle of the road. Dealer can't find the problem. It's very frustrating. My main concern is safety and the repeated service visits and cost. The last time was scary because it shut off at a red light. When i started up the car again it shut off in the middle of traffic. I managed to get home but the car shut off several times during the drive.
In the 2006 dodge charger r/t the car will completely turn off if the gas is full or close to full. This is a well known issue with the r/t model. Dodge has known of this issue for years and also the dealerships. After filling the tank the vehicle will turn off in turn losing power steering brakes and engine power even while your foot is on the gas pedal. I have almost gotten into accidents due to this. I took my vehicle to the dodge dealerships and was told that this is a known problem and dodge refuses to call a recall.
After filling the gas tank, the car stalled.numerous attempts to get the car started failed.car would try to start, but would not catch.after sitting overnight, car would start.numerous times after filling, the car would chug and lose power or kill all together.
2006 dodge charger r/t.this has been going on for years, i read about others having similar issues and decided to contribute mine as well as it happened again the other day when i accidentally refilled all the way.when you fill the tank all the way, the vehicle stalls immediately and will continue stalling until the gas tank is no longer "completely full."the only easy way to fix without taking something apart is to repeatedly restart the car until enough gas burns off. Even with taking care to not fill the tank all the way, going up certain hills seem to cause the stall as well.no check engine light, just power cuts off.one single chime from the car as the oil light turns on.you can restart it but obviously this is bad when it happens in traffic.seems to stall most at stoplights and other idle conditions but can also stall in low speed scenarios.never got fast enough to tell if it would happen there too.according to both independent mechanic and dealer, this is a valve inside the fuel tank which would require an expensive fuel tank replacement to fix - the mechanic said they had seen a lot of them, but there was no recall so it would be at my expense to fix.
Initially, after refueling my vehicle (2006 dodge charger r/t with 5.7l hemi) at a gas station, the engine would hesitate and stumble a mile or so later, and operate normally after a few moments. However, beginning within the last month, whenever i refuel at the gas station, the engine will hesitate and then stall.the obd does not illuminate the mil or register a dtc. The engine is then hard to restart, and once restarted and the transmission in drive, the vehicle will not begin to move immediately upon pressing on the accelerator, as if the transmission is in park or neutral. The stalling happens when pulling out of the gas station, when stopped and idling, and has happened when driving in traffic. This problem has resulted in several near collisions as the unexpected loss of power happens when pulling into traffic and while driving. This condition continues for several minutes and miles. I have gotten into the practice of refueling and driving straight home to park the car overnight, as it seems to drive better given time to sit after refueling.
After filling the gas tank up, i left the gas station and the car stalled out 7 times. This continues to happen every time i fill the tank up. The steering also goes out. The car has a hard time starting back up once it happens. It happened on the highway also.
After filling up the gas tank, within minutes i was turning left in an intersection when the engine stopped and the steering became very difficult and an accident was barely avoided. This was extremely dangerous because of oncoming traffic. In fact i was almost struck by two vehicles, one coming at me and the other behind me. I restarted the car, drove through the intersection for about 5-10 seconds and the car stopped again, same steering difficulties. Started the car a third time and it moved forward with no more stops. This has happened at least 20 more time in the past 3 years. Additionally, within the past 6 months, it has been very difficult to put fuel into the tank. It would take about 20 minutes because the nozzle would shut off. I could only put in very small amounts each squeeze of the handle. I find this not only annoying but also question the design of the whole fuel receiving and storage system of this vehicle. I have asked my local dodge dealership about the problems and was advised that a new gas tank would have to be installed for approximately $1,200! a new gas tank? that would confirm in my mind that these problems are caused absolutely by a design flaw and should be recalled and repaired asap before there are fatalities linked to this flaw.
After fueling car starts jerking a little, then lights go dim and car shuts off.this is the second time i have noticed it and i am not topping the fuel because somesaid not to.i was also going around a roundabout and car shut off.it has happend 4 times since i fueled today.
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.
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
I had refueled the car and drove about 10 miles toward my home, as i turned into my neighborhood the car stalled and would not restart. I coasted to my residence and stopped the car and turned the key to the off position. After 10 minutes i tried to start the car and it did, then surged and died again. Restarted the car again and pulled it in to the garage and shut it down.
When entering an intersection and during a left turn, the engine failed rendering the power steering inoperable and reducing braking ability. Even though the car was controllable although with significant increase in required force. I almost went off the road as a result of the partial loss of control but managed to recover. Someone with less strength may not have been able to recover. In this case, non-recovery would have resulted in hitting an overpass.chrysler is aware of this defect but has not classified it as a recall. It is classified as an extended warranty and requires the dealer to order a fuel tank and replace the one in the vehicle.parts are now restricted and i was advised that they may not be available for months.this is not a convenience problem\, this is a safety issue that has the potential to cause major injury or death.
While navigating a parking lot (approx. 5 mph) minutes after filling the gas tank, the engine died.the oil pressure light came on, the rpm gauge dropped to zero and the steering became very difficult to turn.we were able to shift into park and start the car fairly easily, but the engine turned over for several seconds before starting.the engine stalled twice more when leaving the same parking lot and had to be started again each time.we experienced engine hesitation (seemed to lose all power) while driving at about 40 mph on the way home.there were at least four hesitations and we were worried it would die completely.these hesitations have happened twice before and always immediately after filling the gas tank.the severity of the problem seems to be increasing with each incident.we are very concerned that we will stall in a dangerous situation while driving and are now afraid to fill the tank completely.we never "top off" the car's gas tank and always stop fueling after the station pump shuts off automatically.
Approximately 1 month ago, this problem started to occur; after fueling up the vehicle will start to stall randomly and continuously.no matter while stopped at a light or traveling at highway speeds.after looking the problem up on the internet, i discovered that there has been thousands of people having the same problem with the same make/model vehicle, along with similar model vehicle, as i am.apparently this is a manufacturer defect that they are aware of but do not want to fix the problem or recall it to have it fixed.from what i have been reading on the internet the problem is occurring in the fuel tank, where the fuel control valve on top of the fuel tank (only serviced with the tank), fails and allows raw liquid fuel to enter the evap system.a short time after start up, the pcm actuates the purge solenoid to purge the vapors from the canister.since there is raw fuel in the canister and lines, the result is an overly rich mixture that floods the engine, causing the engine to stall.i am trained and employed law enforcement officer in the state of florida and am well trained in reacting to high stress incident to include with high stress driving and believe this is what has avoided any crashes to occur while i am in control of the vehicle.i believe someone may over react or not know how to react to this situation and may become involved in a serious crash causing serious bodily harm or possibly death without a immediate recall on this problem.which again dodge is well aware of the design/manufacturer's defect.any assistance in recalling this defect immediately would be greatly appreciated on my behave, but without immediately recall could cause someone to become injured or a loss of life.any questions feel free to contact me.
Vehicle stalled when driving shortly after fueling. Engine started again after cranking for several seconds, but strong smell of gasoline after starting. No further problems with the vehicle until the next refuel. This has been happening repeatedly after refueling ever since the original incident on the date given. This may have been happening periodically over the past 2 years, but before this it was infrequent enough that we really didn't pay any attention to it. We never top off the tank, stopping fueling after the nozzle initially clicks off.
11/16/13 i had just filled up my gas tank on i95 at ladysmith, va and was coming down the ramp northbound when the engine sputtered and stalled just as i merged onto the highway.i pulled over after getting blasted by truckers horns for making them slam on brakes.after a couple attempts it restarted and i took off again, only to have it stall again.it did this three more times before it finally started and did not stall.since it didn't happen again, i figured i just got some bad gas.then it happened the next time i filled up.and the next.and the next.i checked on-line and found several others who had experienced this and they said it was the gas being filled to the brim that caused it.i tried filling up less than a full tank and this did seem to work.only problem is i now want to sell or trade in the car and i don't feel right passing this problem along to someone else.i saw the article about nhtsa forcing chrysler to extend the warranty on 2006 hemi chargers and took it to the dealer only to be told they know nothing about this and would fix the problem for $1100.why hasn't chrysler set up a program for these replacements?is there a list of the vehicles that are covered by the new extended warranty?can i please see if my car is on it and if not why not?
After filling up vehicle with gas car would quit running as i entered highway. Car shut off sitting at several traffic light. While attempting to get up to speed car was stalling. After about 30 miles of driving when gas ran out of tank car was fine. Refueled yesterday and same problem issue is defective gas tank and with numerous complaints chrysler has not done a recall to fix vehicles.
After refueling, car stalls numerous times while driving in traffic. I only have 50,700 miles on the car. I understand the nhtsa has studied the issue, pe13-016 and required chrysler to extend the fuel tank warranty indefinitely. I have the car at cerritos dodge in cerritos, ca and they indicate that there is no extension and want $2200.00 to repair. Chrysler doesn't admit to any extension as well. Please help!thanks,[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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!!!
After filling car with gas the engine stalls multiple times for the first few miles.this has happened to me a few hundred times over the years,i have almost been t boned and rear ended multiple times due to this defect. I try not to fill the tank but it happens even if gas is close to the fill mark.
After fueling the vehicle i drove about 1/4 mile released the gas pedal to make a left turn at a controlled inter section, the motor died during the turn. The car did not restart easily. The car died 3 more times in route to my home which was less than a mile further. This has happened the last 5 or more times i have filled the gas tank. I have owned this car since new and i am the sole driver. I am afraid this may cause an accident in the future if not remedied. Yesterday i spoke to my local dodge dealership where the car is serviced, i was informed the fix for this is replacing the fuel tank due to a defective part inside of the tank which is not serviceable. I than call the dodge corp. Customer service number were their agent read a prepared statement regarding the expired warranty. I feel this is a design problem which could lead to a dangerous situation as it becomes increasingly worse. Thank you for this forum.
While driving vehicle it will shut off unexpectedly and abruptlylocking up power steering. On multiple occasions with last incident occurring on may 28, 2014 at approx 1:00 pm while turning right at an intersection car shut off and immediately locked power steering. 2 cars were feet behind my car while another car had entered intersection anticipating our turns. Car shuts completely off. Must put in park and restart car. Cars behind me slammed on brakes.
Car will stall while decelerating on freeway after filling up the car.even though this is an issue that is known with chrysler and they have extended the tank warranty to lifetime under nvs-213krh; pe13-106 they are still not communicating to the dealers that this issue exists and what the proper fix is.i also can not get them to confirm or deny that my vin is part of the group of cars that this problem pertains to, however i had the same exact symptoms as all other drives with the car stopping after refueling the system.the dealership tries to blame the customer for 'over-fueling' but i find it ridiculous that you can not fill your engine to full ( 7/8 or above) without this issue happening.when you bring it to the dealership they show raw fuel in the cannister and want to trouble shoot it as a customer error.so far this issue has cost me $2500 (tank, labor, rental, 2 canisters now) to fix on my own and chrysler and the dealership are of no help.
After fueling up/topping off to the first shut-off only, after pulling away from the gas pump, the car hesitated, stalled and failed to restart right away.it has been increasing this behavior from rarely to almost every time i fuel up - i am now at 171,*** miles.last night i fueled up, drove about 300 yards and parked for the night.this morning the car failed to start.after about 6 attempts, i floored the accelerator while cranking and the car started.after pulling out of the parking lot where i was parked and onto the highway, he car sputtered/hesitated 4 times (kind of like a bucking bronco) about 70 yards down the road, with traffic catching up to me and then it settled back to its normal self.about 3 weeks ago, while traveling through tennessee, i fueled up, pulled into the street and approached a red light and i stopped at which time the car did its hesitation and stalled.i tried to start the car, but it would not start.i hit the 4-way flashers and i sat there for about 25 seconds before the car was able to be started again.i don't use cheap gas, i don't gas up at a station if i see a tanker truck filling the tanks (or pulling out of the station) and i stop filling after the initial shut-off of the pump.on a side note, since day one (sep 2005), when gassing up, i have to rest the pump handle on the filler door, which ends up putting the pump handle upside down at about the 10 or 11 o'clock position depending on the padding of the handle.any other position would cause the pump handle to click off almost immediately when trying to fill the tank.from what i have read on various charger forums, i am not the only one that has had the above "problems".i am afraid one of these days this behavior will lead to an accident with somebody getting hurt or possibly even killed, either in a rear-end collision or a t-bone collision.
Engine stall after refuel. In researching this issue, nhtsa #pe13016 addresses the problem. However, i have yet to receive any documentation that allows repair of my vehicle. Dodge states my vehicle isn't covered.
The car stalls in traffic after it is filled with gas.this happen repeatedly and we took it back to the dodge dealer who replaced the purge valve in the gas tank.this did not solve the problem, the car still stalls after filling the tank with gas and continues to stall and "stutter" until about 1-2 gallons are used.this problem is very much a safety hazard.
This issue relates to pe13-016. My 2006 dodge charger fuel tank cannot be filled to over 3/4 capacity. When it is filled beyond this level, the engine will stall, particularly after making a lh turn. I have been enduring this problem for years and have become fairly adept at re-starting my car in heavy traffic conditions and fortunately have not been involved in any collisions as a result.i understand chrysler negotiated a settlement with nhtsa to treat this as an extended warranty condition before a full blown recall order was issued. However, even though chrysler acknowledges that being a 2006 charger with a 5.7l engine matches all the criteria to be included in the extended warranty, my vehicle's vin is not included on the list of effected vehicles and refuses to correct the problem.there is obvious culpability and chrysler's part and they appear to be hiding behind an administrative technicality to avoid doing what they agreed to do in their settlement of pe13-016 with nhtsa.
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?
I bought my 2006 dodge charger r/t brand new in june of 2006.i always filled the tank with gas until the pump automatically shutoff.i never topped off with gas or continued filling the tank once the pump would automatically stop.this was never a problem for 5 years.last year in october of 2011 at around 73,000 miles the car would stall and turn off the engine occasionally right after filling up in live traffic usually at a stop light or parking lot driveway.i would have to put the transmission shifter from drive to park since the vehicle shut off and restart the car with no problem.today at 75,600 miles on march 27, 2012; i filled up as usual and the car engine turned off in traffic on 3 different occasions.i read on chrysler owners' forums online this is a common problem with plenty of chrysler vehicles and chrysler is aware of it.the fix is a whole new fuel tank with a better fuel vapor valve and the cost would run $1300-$2000 for various car, van, and truck owners.the only other method i was advised by a dodge service advisor was not to fill the car up all the way, perhaps to 3/4 of a tank full.this is dangerous for any driver when a car engine stops, steering locks, and there is traffic behind you.some drivers will not know how to react in this situation.chrysler should offer a recall to fix this problem with the gas tank instead of charging the owner.
After filling the gas tank, the car would stumble, miss and start jerking.was making a 90 degree right hand turn and the car shut off.in the middle of the turn, i had no power steering nor brakes.fortunately, there were no oncoming cars as i ended up on the wrong side of the street.car restarted and ran a few feet before the stumbling, jerking and missing started to occur once again.after reading up on this problem, i had the gas tank replaced, as it (the tank) had all of the signs of a bad "roll-over" valve.this valve is molded into the gas tank and is non-replaceable.once the tank was replaced, the problem has gone away and have not had an issue since.
Just after filling the tank and merging on to the major deegan expressway (i-87n) car dead stalled in the highway, causing to vehicles behind me to slam on their brakes to avoid an accident. It took me ten minutes to get my car restarted. Engine would turn over but not remain on. But after ten minutes of trying this, car remained on and i was able to drive it home. I thought that i had been given some bad gas, until the incident repeated itself again after a fill up seven days ago at a gas station near my home. The owner there says he has seen a similar problem with other chargers after fill up.i then called chrysler at 1-800-992-1997 ([xxx]?) and chrysler claimed they have never heard of this problem before and that i will have to take my car to the dealer and have it repaired at my own cost, but if they've never heard of any problem like this before then how do they know the dealer will know how to repair it?information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
My 2006 dodge chargerkeep 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.
After filling gas tank, engine hesitates and/or stalls.i only fill up until the fuel pump automatically shuts off, i do not add any more fuel than that.this has happened almost every time i have filled up with fuel.most of the stalling/hesitation occurs when coasting or decelerating (coming to a stop).this has created multiple very dangerous situations due to the engine not running and i have a loss of the power assist to the steering.occasionally the engine has a difficult time restarting after the engine stalls.this will occur approximately 4-8 times after a fill-up of fuel.
2006 dodge charger r/t third occurrence after filling car up it stalled and could not start on first attempt.each time filling up i drove maybe 100 yards and the car stalls with no warning. Then getting on the highway with 200 miles to drive guessing if going to stall with a family of four in the car not good. I called the dealer they never heard of this problem and i should bring it in and it could be several different things with a diagnostic fee $145.00.i searched the internet and was astounded how many car ownerswith same problem. This is a very large safety issue and my dealer with my vin stated there are no recalls with your problem. There should not have to be fatalities to fix the problems dodge knows about !! they need to recall is justified.i just know the dealers won't fix it for free. Frustrated dodge owner !!
I had just filled the gas tank and when i made a turn the engine died while i was turning. I put the car into neutral and attempted to start the car a few times and it finally started. When the engine failed the power steering was disabled and it made me almost hit another car who had to adjust his route so i would not have a collision with him. There is a strong odor of gas as well. I have had this problem before after filling the gas tank with the motor dying at a stop light. The check oil light comes on but not the check engine light. The motor only fails when i fill the gas tank more than 3/4 full.i have had a problem with the car cutting off after filling the tank completely for several years. To avoid this dangerous scenario i have had to estimate the gas remaining to adjust filling to about 3/4 of a tank. I understand after reading dodge blogs that there is a very expensive fix for this by replacing the gas tank. I should not have to be in a position to only fill my tank 3/4 full to avoid a possible accident. This is clearly a defect that the manufacture is aware of after reading the hundreds if not thousands of complaints about this.
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.
I continue to have a problem with my car stalling after refueling. I know that nhtsa has been investigating this issue for a while (pe-13-016) and that they closed this investigation on feb 10, 2014, after chrysler agreed to provide a lifetime warranty on the multifunction control valve on fuel tank. I had been waiting to receive my letter, which supposedly began being mailed out in january 2014, so i could have this fixed. I talked to my dealership in march who said they knew nothing of the problem and they suggested calling chrysler. I called chrysler on april 4, 2014, and they said they are still investigating the problem and that i should just wait for the letter. I have had to deal with my car stalling out for nearly a year and when i thought it was nearly over, i was told to wait some more? why isn't chrysler honoring their agreement with nhtsa?
Vehicle stalls after refueling and pulling out of the gas station (into traffic).then, it is hard to start and sputters and stalls for some time.it appears to be an issue with the fuel tank vent valve failing to shut off when the tank if full.this allows raw fuel to enter the evaporation system which probably ruins the evaporation canister as well.the fuel tank vent valve is integrated into the fuel tank so, the fuel tank has to be replaced in order to fix the primary issue.other components in the evaporation system may need to be replaced as they were not designed to have raw fuel in them.
I have a 2006 dodge charger srt-8, after a fill-up at the gas station today as i proceeded out of the gas station i noticed my car started to sputter as i was coming across a bridge. As i came off the bridge my car started to sputter even more and finally as i stopped at a red light the car just stalled. I re cranked the car not sure of what was going on and proceeded down to my military installation gate entrance. As i approach the gate guard the car just stalls again right in the middle of morning traffic. This was very dangerous especially having a stalled car at the entrance of a military base. I recranked the car again and proceeded to work and as i was going to park the car it just shut off in the parking lot. This seems to be a safety related problems and deserves a true investigation. This problem seems to be unpredictable so i will not drive the car with my children in it anymore; i do not feel like the car is safe.

Vehicle stalls after filling up fuel tank.
Refilled with fuel and as i was pulling out on to the street the car stalled.i restarted and began to drive.it stalled a 2nd time.after i got it started again it seemed ok.every since then, every time i fill up it stalls out.i have to sit in the gas station lot and let it run until it stalls out.i afraid to drive on the street as i might get into an accident.after it stalls out a couple of time in the gas station lot, it doesn't do it again until i fill up again.
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
I refueled the gas tank with high octane gas, and while driving the short distance home, the engine stalled three times.this made braking difficult and scary, as i was in traffic.each time it started back up, but left me very afraid of wrecking from possibly not being able to stop the car.
Within 15 miles after filling the gas tank, the car just stops running with no warning. It has happened 3-4 times.so far we've been lucky and haven't been hit, but i'm afraid we will get rear ended soon.
I just finished refueling almost to full. Vehicle started perfectly. Drove approximately 2 blocks at 15 mph when the vehicle suddenly stalled and shut off. It took 3 attempts to restart. I drove approximately 4 more blocks at 15 mphwhen the vehicle suddenly stalled and shut off again. I had the vehicle towed to the repair shop that i use. The mechanic at the shop drove the vehicle. The vehicle stalled and shut off 2 times while the mechanic drove it. Vehicle was scanned for codes. No codes were displayed. The mechanic cleaned out the throttle body. Vehicle has been operating perfect since that time. One other note. One month prior, with 3/4 tank of fuel, fuel gauge suddenly dropped to empty and chiming sound began ringing for approximately 10 seconds. Vehicle did not stall or shut off. Fuel gauge then suddenly returned to 3/4 full and chiming sound stopped ringing.

After fueling my dodge charger, i drove down the road from the gas station and my car stalled. It started a few attempts later. This is the 5th time it has occurred.
After filling up the car and pulled out of the driveway of the gas station had approached the intersection making a left turn the oil light went on and vehicle died suddenly.i have taken it to get repairs, was told at first it was the oil pressure sensor. When replaced the engine light went on with a code reading the oil pressure senor low voltage.now they want to replace the connector/harness that i was told chrysler-dodge no longer makes that part.very costly repair.
I own a 2006 5.7 hemi dodge charger. During my trip into work my engine shut off automatically in park, so i went through 4 cycles of restarting my engine. Finally i got the car started and proceeded down my street onto the main road. As i gave my car gas the engine shutdown and i went through the cycle again. I called one of the local dodge dealerships where i purchased my vehicles and they had no complaints on the problem. As i drove to the dealership i got on the interstate at the speed of 70mph the engine was hesitating again, but did not fully shutdown. I am sure dodge has heard this complaint from multiple owners and i feel dodge should correct the issue. This is very dangerous especially if you are traveling on a busy road.
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 criteriafor 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.
When i fully fill and top off my gas tank the car stalls and sputters. I know i am not the only one having this problem as i have seen people complaining online. My car is a dodge charger rt 2006. This is unsafe and there should be an immediate recall the fix the vapor canister and the gas tank. It might be expensive but if your car is on the highway going 60 mph and power steering fails when you're driving it could be fatal. Fix this immediately.
I was coming to a stop at a red light. The car began to shake like it was a manual transmission and was stalling, the car is an automatic. We stopped at the stop light and realized the engine had shut off. I put the vehicle in park, removed the key, and attempted to restart. It attempted 3-4 times to restart with no luck. I exited the vehicle to endure the gas cap was on and it was. After waiting for about 1-2 minutes i attempted to restart and was successful. This was about 2 miles after filling up the tank. This seems very similar to the currently pending investigation. It has not happened since but i have not filled up the gas tank since either.
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.
On or about 03 october 2013, the engine (5.7l hemi) stalled going at 30-35 mph. The engine service light came on, but disappeared when i restarted the engine. Since that day, i have experienced multiple engine stall incidents (about 10 times) usually at a traffic stop being idle or approaching a stop, and during reverse. In november, while cruising on a highway, the engine acted as if to stall again with all the lights and chiming on the evic on and off, but did not stall probably due to the momentum or inertia. At that time, i had my entire family (size of four) with me in the vehicle and feared for their safety. I went to multiple chrysler dealers and service centers, but could not prevent the problem from reoccuring again. It appears from my online research and reading other complaints on nhtsa website that the symptoms i am experiencing are probably consistent with the faulty sensor in the fuel tank.
Car stalls.usually when coming to a stop but has stopped while driving on ta two lane highway in 120 degree weather.almost got rear ended.
Fill up with gas car stall numerous times is dangerous not always re start immediatelyneeds gas tank because vent valve for evap system is bad con only be changed with new gas tank on other brand of cars you can change just the valve. Cost on this car aprox. 1350.00 all dodge and chryslers with 5.7 litre do it.
Full tank fill for trip to florida from north carolina. Car stalled within in few blocks from gas station. Restart and stall several times. Let idle for awhile and noticed rpm's going up and down at idle. Finally got going andfueled with a full tank 2 times on way to florida, same problem each time. Contacted dealership in deland florida and was told i had a faulty fuel float and would have to replace fuel tank or i could wait until i got back to north carolina. They said if i only filled to 3/4 it should be fine. I did that and got back to north carolina. Took car to dealership in greensboro, north carolina. They were familiar with this problem. They did a diagnostic test by filling fuel tank and encountered the same problem. They contacted chrysler for warranty. Chrysler denied it. I contacted chrysler and got a case number. I talked to several people and was told they would call me back. None of them called back, so i had to make calls. They denied for reasons: vin not covered, car built in wrong month, car has salvage title, not covered under x53 or chrysler service bulletin #14-002-14 issued in february 2014.. I asked for a letter of denial. They refused. Said i could contact an attorney if i wanted a letter. The cost for this known problem will be $1,250.00. I have had dodge and chrysler vehicles sine 1969. Not a way to treat a good customer.
I feel that chrysler is not honoring the agreement of extending the warranty on the fuel tanks as stated. Its been months and chrysler either isn't going to warranty the tanks or they are being very selective on which tanks they consider defective. My vin is not showing being covered by this warranty even though it meets all the qualifications. This is the message i received from the local dodge/chrysler dealership regarding my fuel tank issue onapril 10, 2014:in checking on chrysler's website, there is no listed extended coverage regarding your fuel tank pertaining to your particularvehicle at this time. Recall's are vin specific and after checking yours on chryslers website it does not show any extended lifetime coverage regarding your vehicle in particular. If you have any other questions orconcerns regarding this matter please feel free to contact chrysler/dodge at 1-800-423-6343.my original complaint regarding the issue with my 2006 dodge charger was filed:date complaint filed: 01/07/2014 component(s): fuel/propulsion systemdate of incident: 11/28/2013nhtsa id number: 10558790.
Since about 4 years ago my 06 charger daytona has been stalling for unknown reasons. Took it to the dealers only to be told they couldn't find anything wrong.after some research i came to know that dodge had a real issue with safety concerning the evap system. I was told later that an unserviceable valve on the gas tank was faulty and therefore the gas tank needed to be replaced; its too expensive.it has been very frustrating because the engine stalling after fueling has gotten bad. I've stalled in the middle of a busy road twice and numerous times before a stop or red light. Its only matter of time before some body gets hurt or killed.
After filling up with gas this morning, as i accelerated away from the gas station the car began to buck and jerk.it smoothed out for a little while, then after accelerating away from the next stoplight it jerked and made a loud noise.this is heavy suburban traffic, so very stop-and-go.the car began to stall, and only restart if i depress the accelerator all the way to the floor while starting.go a little bit further, then buck and stall again.very dangerous! i'm learning through online vehicle forums that this is a relatively common problem with this year/make/model vehicle's gas tank and the integral "roll-over" valve which is supposed to prevent liquid fuel from entering the engine, yet the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge a faulty design that is leading to potentially dangerous situations.will it take accidents, fires and death to make it a higher priority?
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. Updated 7/15/13 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.
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.
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.
Charger r/t. Moderate to strong odor of raw gasoline when car comes to a stop. Intermittent but occurs more than 90% of the time. Started in oct 2010;still occurring. Usually worse the colder it is outside;after driving several hrs.& making an abrupt stop; & w/ 1/2 to 3/4 tank of gas. But, it has occurred when in the 50s outside;driving 20 ft. From driveway into garage and shutting off the engine, after car has sat for several hours without the engine running; and with a full tank or 1/4 or less of gas. Has occurred a couple of times upon acceleration, but almost always occurs when the car comes to a stop.the one time i smelled it the strongest though was after i backed into a parking space. I had been in another space with the engine off for about 30 minutes. I started the car and backed into a space further down in the lot, shut the engine off, and the odor of raw gas was very strong and seemed to be right underneath the driver's door when i opened it. Passengers in car have also smelled it.myself and 2 other people have inspected the vehicle under the hood, and underneath while it was on a lift, but could not locate any leaks, broken or cracked hoses, etc. I took it to a dodge dealership on 2/8/11 and they could not find the cause of it either. However, it never occurred on the way to the dealer. It was in the 20s that morning and i had between 1/2 and 3/4 of a tank of gas; normally "ideal" conditions under which it occurs. Problem did not occur until later that morning after leaving the dealership. I advised the dealership service adviser of all of the circumstances under which it occurs, on a typed document which i gave to him.my main concern is that since it is the gasoline fumes that are combustible, that it will eventually cause a fire. Also, there are about a dozen other dodge charger owners who belong to a charger owners' web site, www.chargerforums.com, who have posted the same complaint and neither they nor dealerships have found a cause for it either.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.the contact stated that the vehicle sputtered and stalled when the fuel tank was filled to capacity. The failure continued to occur over a six month period. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing however, they were unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.the approximate failure mileage was 48,000.
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.
After filling up my gas tank with fuel i drove my car about 16 miles and it stalled out, i put it in neutral and it did start back up. Next day i took my car to the dealership and my adviser asked me if i topped off my tank after filling up and i said yes, so he told me not to do that because the 06 model chargers have a defect with the gas tanks that cause's the car to stall out after topping it off. I took his advise and my car didn't stall out for about 7 month's. On 08/01/13 i filled up my gas tank without topping it off, got on the highway drove about 16 miles again and exited, as i was making a left turn the car stalled out again and it did that two more times as i was driving it to the dealership. This time my adviser told me to only fill up 3/4 of a tank.the cost for this repair is ridiculous and the customers who paid 30k to 45k for these cars should not be stuck with the bill. There should be a urgent recall on all of these cars before someone gets hurt or turn's into road kill on the highway.
I had just filled up my car and was pulling out of the gas station when my vehicle stalled in the middle of the roadway. My steering and brakes cut out as a result of the engine stalling. I try to continue to drive about 150' down the road when it stalls again. I finally pull over, restart the engine and let it burn off some gas before continuing. Every time i have filled up my tank the problem reappears. If i don't fill up my tank i have no issues.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger rt. The contact stated that on multiple occasions, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted after several attempts. Additionally, gasoline would sporadically spill from the fuel tank.the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the check valve was causing an overflow condition. The vehicle was later taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the check valve, evaporation canister and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90000. ..updated 05-09-14 ....updated 05/15/14 the consumer stated the vehicle stalled at a highway speed, and another instance of fuel spilling from the tank during fill-up resulting in a spill at the gas pump/ the consumer stated he was forced to stop re-fueling at about 15-18 gallons to avoid the situation. Updated 05/15/14
My 2006 dodge charger has began to stall after a gas fill-up. It is very scary because it does not matter how fast you are driving. I had it stall about 5 times after filling up today. One in which i was going 40 mph. The steering wheel locks up and it is very dangerous. I am very concerned for the safety if myself and family.
Right after leaving the gas station from filling up my cars' gas tank my engine stalled when i came to a stop on a very busy intersection. I was able to start it again but it turned off on me again, repeated the process twice until the light changed and i was able to make it home. Drove around my neighborhood making multiple stops to see it if happened again in which the engine only turned off once more.
When i got into the car to leave work i could not get it out of park.i got a ride home and returned the next day and called the dodge dealership.they said they have had this happen numerous times and that it could happen anywhere.one of the mechanics had it happen when he stopped for fuel.the part cost $7 and the labor is $175.i feel i was fortunate that it did not happen while i had my infant grandkids with me and that it happened at work, so at least i was not stranded somewhere alone.evidently dodge is aware of the problem because the mechanic said they used to have to replace the whole shift mechanism and now dodge has come out with a cheaper part to fix it.it evidently doesn'thave anything to do with the year because they said they have had it happen on brand new vehicles as well as older models.
Vehicle stalls and kills after refueling.it happens before even leaving the pump and/or once driving has started. It takes a few miles or some time before it's normal again. If it's sitting idle, you can hear it struggling before a burst in rpm's leading to a stall. Sometimes it starts right back up. Sometimes it doesn't for a while.
I own a 2006 dodge charger r/t with the 5.7 liter hemi engine.i purchased it new in june of 2006 with 5 miles on the odometer.after 6 years of filling up my car by letting the gas pump stop automatically with no issues; the car began to stall right after filling-up when topping off the tank, starting around may of 2012.i called autonation dodge in roseville, california and the service technician was familiar with my issue.he asked if i had filled up the tank by topping it off.i told him, affirmative.he advised me to not top off the tank at all during fill-ups or to buy a new fuel tank at the cost of $2000-3000 with installation.for the past couple of years, i've been lucky to not top off the fuel tank, but it has occurred at least 4 times when i made the mistake of topping off the gas.the last time this occurred was yesterday.after buying gas and having the pump stop automatically, i drove into a major intersection and stopped at the red light.the car turned off, and it took about 3 tries of re-starting the ignition in park before the car luckily powered on again.when my light turned green, the car would jump and lose power while shifting into second and third gears.i was very fortunate to not have any cars behind me, because this issue of the car stalling could cause an accident.this stalling hazard happened again yesterday on my way home and also this morning.i feel chrysler/fiat should replace all effected 2006 dodge charger r/ts with this issue by replacing the tank or whatever repair it would take to fix this safety hazard.i feel that most owners of this vehicle won't be aware of this issue until it happens to them personally.it should be mandatory for chrysler/fiat to issue a recall with all expenses covered by the manufacturer.
Vehicle stopped after filling with gas. Started up again and shut down right away.this happens frequently after filling up with gas. Could only put in one incident but this is an on going issue.it appears there is an agreement in hand for correction why isn't it published?

Car purchased 2/2006 w/ approx. 5,600 mi.first occurrence in 6/2007: vehicle in drive at stopped position.proceeded to accelerate through intersection.vehicle almost stalls and sputters (engine makes rough winding noise).does not accelerate.engine light on briefly.pulled over, put in park, returned to drive to try again.same thing happens.turned vehicle off, waited a few seconds, and then back on.drove fine for about 30 days.thought maybe bad gas.over the next couple of months it happened approx. 5 more times at different times during the day (hot and cool days, engine cool and warm).twice engine light came on and had to turn off for over 5 minutes before light would go out to proceed.brought in to chrysler dealer on sep. 13, 2007 where car was purchase for oil change, tune up, new tires and explained rough/whining idol,lack of acceleration and stalling/bogging down occurrences from a stopped position.said problem was fixed after mouse nest removed from engine and injector wire repair from chewing.sept. 17 & 18, happened again - backed out of driveway (each morning), came to a stop, put it in drive, and rough/whining engine sound and no acceleration above 20 mph.brought back to same dealer on 18 sept.have not been able to "duplicate the problem" so left overnight.updated 01-14-08.updated 12/12/08.
Multiple times in the last month when i have refueled, the vehicle is difficult to start and then runs extremely rough and usually dies on the road once or twice.the engine seems to rumble and shakes the vehicle and then after a short period of driving it seems to go away.the engine light blinks on and off while this situation is happening. My mechanic has looked the problem over twice and cannot seem to determine what needs to be done to correct the problem.he has been in contact with dodge/chrysler and they indicate no other reported problems.the mechanic is still checking but seems to remember changing a fuel tank on a charger in the past that was having an engine problem and it corrected the problem.he is rechecking his files to find that repair job.last night my vehicle died twice in my driveway (with less than half a tank of gas) and i consider it unsafe to drive at this point.anyone want to buy a used 2006 charger (hemi)??? it will be sitting in my driveway.

I own a 2006 dodge charger srt8 with about 31,000 miles on it. I just got the vehicle on october 25, 2013 and have only had it for a month. A couple weeks after i had the car, i noticed a big problem. My engine would just shut of when i was idling. Usually this would happen when i was stuck in traffic, or at a red light, or at a stop sign at an intersection. The entire car would just shut down immediately and i would have no control over the vehicle. There was no way of being able to tell when this problem would occur because there were no early warning signs such as chugging or noises coming from the engine. It started getting really bad to the point where i need to get it fixed. I was researching online and reading forums and found that this is a known problem with chrysler engines of this model. Hundreds if not thousands of people like myself have the same problem. Apparently, it is a faulty fuel vapor valve on the top of the fuel tank. The only way to repair it is to replace the entire fuel tank which is going to cost me well over $1000. I want to know why this isn't a safety recall and why it hasn't been.
After filling up with gas the vehicle will stall out and die. Especially after a stop or making a sharp turn. If you fill the tank halfway or 3/4 the problem does not happen.
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.
Car was running fine, stopped at a gas station and filled the tank. After leaving the station and pulling into traffic the car engine died. Almost was rear ended due to the car stopping instead of accelerating. Pulled over to the right side of the lane and tried to restart. Second attempt the car started and i pulled out into the lane and drove about a block and the car engine shut off again in an intersection. Another close call with other vehicles. I restarted the engine and pulled into a parking lot and drove around to see if the engine would quit again, it did, 2 more times. Finally it stayed running for awhile so i drove it home approx 10 miles with no problems. Thought i had gotten bad gas or water in the fuel. Drove it for a week no problems. The next time i refueled at a different gas station andit happened all over again, same symptoms.the problem is associated with filling the fuel tank.seems to match nhtsa action number pe13016.
Car has repeatedly stalled after filling up the car with gas. Car stalls in traffic with no warning. Takes about 10 miles on the odometer until it clears up. There are many others with this problem. It is documented on the internet from other people having the exact same problem.
After fueling up my car, i jumped onto the hwy and my vehicle started jerking and then staled on me.i was able to started it back up but it stop on my again.made it home and everything was fine the next day. I thought i got some bad gas.then, this kept happening after i would put gas into my tank. I finally took it in, january due to i was almost reared end while taking my daughter to school. I just found out it was the fuel tank and it will cost me 1800 dollars to replace the part.
While driving on the interstate at a low rate of speed due to traffic....engine stalled and shut off.engine started again on re-start.i had recently purchased full tank of fuelthis happened again today...6 - 26 - 13 ....again at low speed due to morning traffic...started again on re-start....purchased tank of gas again yesterday...both time from different station.

My car stalls after every fill up for fuel. I later discovered this was a common complaint causing random fires as well as rear end collisions from stalling onto freeways. I paid $40k for this vehicle. Manufacturer nor extended warranty covers this costly and dangerous defect. I would like for this problem to be rectified by a manufactures' recall or consumer reimbursement.

After filling up my gas tank and driving off the gas station lot onto a main road my car stalled and died almost causing the car behind me to run into the back of my car. My car continued to stall all the way home. It restarted after stalling but put me in a very dangerous position. I could not drive the car anywhere in fear that it would stall again. I had to pay to have it towed (money which i do not have) to a service station where they told me that there was a known issue of a fuel system problem. I called the car dealer and they did in fact acknowledge that there is a problem and the fuel tank will be replaced at no charge. I have now been waiting several months for a gas tank. The dealership has stated that they are not receiving any fuel tanks. I need my vehicle to get back and forth to school. I can not get a job because i have no transportation to and from. This is really put a hardship on me. I called another dealership only to find that they are having the same problem. Why are there no tanks being sent to the dealerships to fix this problem? i can not drive a car that puts my life in danger as well as the lives of others.
Filled up fuel tank on 11/28/13 and on 12/1/13 and about 200 feet after exiting gas station the car stalled,i restarted the car and it drove another few hundred feet and it stalled a couple more times. After reading some article i found this has become a common problem on this car.i feel it should be a safety recall due to the car stalling seconds after pulling out into traffic risking getting rear ended or t boned.
Every time you fill up the gas tank the car wants to stall. I'm told there is a solenoid in the gas tank that fails and it lets raw fuel go to the evap canister causing a stall condition. This solenoid valve is molded into the gas tank and the only way to fix it is to replace the gas tank. This stall can happen while your sitting at a stop light or just pulling out into an intersection. The intersection situation is very dangerous.
Car engine stalls and die every time i fill up the fuel tank, dealer is telling me something bad with the rollover valve in the gas tank and they are charging me $1600 for the repair. I found on the internet forums a lot of people having the same issues. :-(
Every time i fuel up mt charger r/t, it stalls when i am stopped.it has happened the last 3 times i have fueled my car.no lights come on in dash, nor any warnings.sometimes it will just sputter when i go to take off.after a day it goes back to normal.
The engine died just after fuel fill-up when i was leaving the lot and getting onto the street.while filling the tank, the pump stopped as if the tank was full, but wheni got in the car after fill-up, the gas gauge read only 3/4 full.when the engine died, there was traffic behind me and traffic ahead. I could have been in an accident or caused one.i shifted to neutral, and coasted and re-started the car.this is completely unacceptable.it is dangerous for me, for my family, for my wife when she is driving,as well as the motorists around me.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving 2 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that the dual fuel tank assembly was defective and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 66,200 and the current mileage was 66,258.
The car suddenly stalled and engine turned off. The steering was locked and was unable to move. I was turning into my subdivision when suddenly this happened. I was probably around 5 mph. Luckily there was no car behind me. I was able to put the car in park and start it and drive home without issue. The second time it got stalled when the same day i had to take my son to one of his class. When i was stopped at the light, the car stalled. This time it took few tries to get the car started. Once it started, the rpm was fluctuating as if it was starving for fuel. Since other complains have references to this happening after filling up gas, i want to mentioned that i had filled the gas the day before and i must have drove 20 or so miles before this happened first time.
On 12-14-2013, i filled up the gas tank. I pulled out of the gas station and into traffic and stopped at a red light. While at the red light, vehicle stalled and oil light came on. Turned the corner at the red light and got into my parents subdivision and vehicle stalled again. Got the vehicle started and pulled into the driveway. On 12-15-2013, vehicle stalled close to parents driveway.attempted to restart. Vehicle would not start on first attempt and on the second attempt, i had to press the accelerator to start the vehicle. Got it started and put the vehicle in the driveway. Notified the dealership the next day and had the vehicle towed. Dealership could not find problem right away and i asked them to look at the rollover (vent) valve in the gas tank. They checked the rollover (vent) valve and found that it was the problem. Got it repaired and the final cost was $1446.47.
About 3 months ago at around 65,000 miles, my 2006 dodge charger r/t started sputtering and cutting off after filling with fuel. A strong odor would come from underneath. It will last for about 5-10 miles and stop.i have no more problems with it until i fill up again. It has been in the shop several times with me paying for diagnostics but they can not find anything wrong.i have explained to them it only happens when i put fuel in it.now that i am seeing these complaints, i am contacting the dodge dealership to see if this is my problem. It is dangerous driving this car like this. I have to make sure i don't put fuel in it in the city because you will get stuck in traffic and risk getting in and accident.why want the company do a recall on this problem, it is very serious and need to be fix before someone gets hurt or killed..
While driving on the interstate after work my vehicle stalled out and i lost control. I had to strong arm the steering wheel to get the vehicle to veer onto the emergency shoulder lane. Vehicles behind me slammed on their brakes and honked their horns trying to avoid hitting my vehicle. Prior to the event i filled my gas tank. After giving the vehicle a few minutes i tried to turn the ignition. After several tries the vehicle started. I was unable to accelerate over 35 mph and the vehicle shook and stalled the entire ride home. That was 3 weeks ago and the issue has worsened. My vehicle is stalling in mid-sections. It's shaking and along with the fuel light the engine light continuously dings. My code reads engine misfiring and fuel valve failures. The dealership was unable to pinpoint the issue and told me to research the issue under nhtsa.org. I have almost caused several accidents and i do have a small child i must transport in this vehicle as well. It should not take a fatality for this issue to be resolved by the parties responsible.
After fueling the vehicle it stalls and shuts off.this has happen several times and i have had the evap replaced but the problem till remains.this is a very serious safety issue and someone will get seriously injured and even killed if this does not get fixed.everyone that owns a charger like this, life hangs in the balance if they continue to drive it.. Please help get dodge to do a recall.lives over profits please!!!!!!!
This has happened many times.after filling the vehicle with a full tank, shortly afterwards car will stall without warning.sometimes as i exit the fuel station, other times it's 10 minutes later when i'm on the road.several times when driving it'll buck, stall and then start back up as it's coasting.most of the time it'll stall at a traffic light.when it stalls, it'll start back up, but there's a computer-related delay that prevents the car from going into gear for about 10-20 seconds... Which seems like an eternity when you're stuck in the middle of an intersection. I've had some very close calls due to this, have learned not to trust the car, and have now learned not to fill it up fully.note this can happen when it's anything over 3/4 full.i've had the car since new, it's well maintained, and now has 102k miles.the stalling problem is the only safely related issue that i've had.
My car has begun stalling immediately after filling up the tank. Originally thought it was bad fuel the first two times it happened but i have now had this occur 5 or 6 times.the first couple miles after leaving the gas station, the car will stall both while idling at a red light, and while accelerating..
I was leaving the gas station after i filled up the car with gasoline and the engine stalled. I placed the transmission in park and turned on the car in the middle of traffic, drove to the stop light and the car stalled again. The car kept stalling every time i would stop for the next three miles. The car ran fine until i topped off the fuel tank and then the car began stalling again. The car stalls at every stop for the next two to three miles every time that i top off the fuel tank. I cannot and have not topped off the fuel since then for fear that the car will stall and cause an accident.
After filling tank to full and leaving gas station to make a left turn on green, vehicleengine stopped and had to restart twice in order to make the turn safely. Engine continued stalling until after approximately 4 miles it finally stayed running. This same occurrence happened before on several occasions, and read about other 2006 charger 5.7 hemi owners having same issues. The car cannot be filled up with fuel completely which is a great inconvenience and danger, especially when you need to enter traffic or make a safe left or right turn. Dodge refuses to repair or acknowledge the issues , cannot get rid of the car and purchase something else as i am a disabled veteran.
Upon filling the gas tank with gas, i pulled away from the gas station into traffic and the car shut off (stalled) after about a block of travel. After about 5 attempts and waiting about 10 minutes or the car started and remained started. The same issue happens every time i fill the gas tank (proper filling, not topping off). I cannot fuel up without fear of the vehicle stalling soon after.
Re:pe13-016re: dodge/chrysler x53 - 19 fuel tankvehicle 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.
It stated in october, i filled up my gas tank and was driving home and the car stalled out when coming to a stop. Did think anything of it and restarted my car, got to my house and i was slowing down to turn in it stalled out again. Waited for about 15mins and went out and started the car in the garage started the car and let it run and as it ran it died while in idle. I was glad i was only a mile from my home and very little traffic at the time, with the lose of power to the car i could cause an accident. I do not fill the tank all the way since its the only time this happens. I have filled up my car only one more time after that to see if it was consistent, and it was. It happens at idle and when slowing down city speeds. I will not get on the highway for my safety and others. I have not drive my car unless it is absolutely necessary.
After fill up my car stalls at stop signs and when making turns. I have to stop to get it started then it runs rough for awhile. This had happen a week before then the same thing happens.
Warmed up my car as i always did in the morning for 15 min pulled out of my driveway and proceeded to the down the street to the stop sign came to a complete stop and my car started to idle hard continued down the street at 35 mph and came to a complete stop at a stop light the car started to idle hard again then the red lighting bolt started to flash and car shut off. I put my car back in park and restarted the car proceeded for another file mile approached another stop light light and same thing hard idle and shut off. I took my car to four different dealerships no one knew what the problem was. One mechanic said that it could be throttle body so i had him remove it and clean it he also removed the cables to battery to reset it car work fine for three days no problem the on the fourth day did as i always did warm up car and take off car shut off at first stop light. I noticed that it didn't do it while it was warm out side this morning was really cold and same issue.
After refueling of vehicle and driving from gas station vehicle stalls andhard to start. After researching this issue on the internet it appears this is a common issue with this make and model. Now when trying to refuel the vehicle the pump kicks off every few seconds, unable to refuel at a gas station at this point. Only way to refuel at this point is by using a five gallon gas can so that the air can escape the gas tank through the gas tank filler tube.took the vehicle to the dealership and was told the check valve on the gas evap system is defective which is intergrated within the gas tank. Dealership told me they have seen this many times and the check valve cannot be replaced. To correct the problem a new gas tank will need to be installed at a cost of $1,350.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continue driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (nissan bros nissan, 5750 mesmer ave, ste. A, culver city, ca 90230) where it was diagnosed that the vapor recovering system failed. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired per an extended warranty. The manufacturer was not contacted. The vin and failure mileage were unknown. Consumer stated upon refueling and pulling out of the gas station, consumer's car started to struggle with power, the power steering and power brakes seemed to be severly reduced, and then the engine shut down. Happened second time. Consumer googled and found "2006 dodge charger stalls after fueling" updated 9/4/18
Every time the vehicle gas tank is filled, the engine stalls shortly after driving away. It requires several cranks of the engine to get started again. After the engine is restarted, driving /idle is rough for some amount of time before returning to normal. This happens all the time. This is very dangerous as the car stalls on me in traffic and merging on to the freeway after filling up at any gas station.
Car stalls out at low speeds or when at light. Consistent with other problems raised concerning these vehicles.
After refueling, car tends to stall, or not axcelarate properly. Causing multiple problems without power..
2006 dodge srt8 6.1 repeatedly stalls after filling with gasoline. Vehicle is difficult to start after. Car sputters at speed for first 30 miles on full tank.
After filling up with gas the engine started miss firing as soon as i left the forecourt, a few seconds later the car stalled in heavy traffic, it started again but continued stalling. As i tried to get out of the traffic it stalled again half way across a busy intersection and came very close to having an accident with oncoming traffic.eventually it began to run ok and i got home, when i looked online there is a large amount of complaints with this happening to many owners of 2006 chargers and all with the same story. This fault could result in a serious accident and i will speak with my nearest chrysler dealer.
My car will stall out while driving or sitting.i have tried to research what the problem, others indicated a fuel purge valve.my cars runs fine other wise but this should not be happen.
We purchased a 2006 dodge charger 3.5l from a local dealership with around 63,000 miles. They filled the tank up before we left. Other than the customary lap around town with the "new" car, i didn't drive it for two days. I drove the car 70 miles to another town for an appointment with no issues.when i went to leave my appointment, i started the car and attempted to back out of my parking spot. The car died as soon as i placed it in reverse. I put the car back in park, restarted and tried to shift to reverse again. The car died again and the check engine light was on. I attempted the same process again and it died yet again. I thought of revving the engine while reversing to get the car to move, but i didn't do it because of safety issues. I was blindly backing into a street and didn't want to get involved in an accident.my brother happens to work in the same town i was in. He came to help. I stood in the street to block traffic. He revved up the engine (two footed the brake and gas) and managed to back it into the street. The check engine light was still on.i two footed the car the 70 miles back to the dealership i had purchased it from. The dealership i purchased the car from sent it to a dodge dealership. The dealership says that there is nothing wrong with my car and that they couldn't replicate the engine dying. They stated that i was driving with the parking/emergency brake on. I never use my parking brake (all my cars have been automatics). My parking brake was not on at any time.my brother stated the parking brake was not on.this is a major safety issue and i am not satisfied with how the dealership handled it. I could not drive my car out of a parking space. What if it had died in the road when i had to stop at lights or for other vehicles turning in front of me?i found similar complaints from other dodge owners online. See investigation pe 13-016.
The engines' rocker arms & lifters are tapping & causing engine to stall & consume more gas allbecause the chrysler-dodge dealership have been replacing only 5qts of oil rather than the 6qts the manual instructs. Nothing has been done by the dealer to correct this maintenance issue.
My vehicle stalled several times after filling the tank.i then took it to my dealer to have it investigated.in reviewing the nhtsa website, i found that this has been already been investigated and chrysler agreed to extend the warranty on "certain" hemi vehicles with a 19 gallon fuel tank.investigation pe 13-016.upon sharing this information with my dealer (dodge of naperville), they indicated that my 2006 dodge charger with a hemi and 19 gallon tank was not covered under this recall and i would need to pay $1700 to have this repaired.they said if it was recalled at a later date, i could apply for reimbursement.
Vehicle stalls out and engine stops running after filling with gas. Reported problem to dodge after several instances, once going 50 mph when car completely died while in traffic just missing getting rearended. Dodge states there is a fuel tank problem and a replacement is needed at a cost of 1500.00this problem needs to be addressed, as there are numerous incidents listed on the internet. I have to fill my car to only the 3/4 full mark to keep it running without incident.
While driving on freeway, car died.was able to start it back up again.gas tank only 1/8 full.got off freeway.car continued to just shut off while driving on the streets, leaving me stuck in the intersection several times.
I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times to have issues fixed.each time i got the car back, it was worse.i had 13 issues originally with the car.i ended up suing, and got a very small settlement- dodge refused to cooperate.i still have each and every problem, and do not know what else to do.my car dies while in reverse, the brakes malfunction constantly, the window panel remains broken due to their inept work, the radio cuts off, the dash lights die @ night, etc.i would truly appreciate it if someone could actually help me.i do not know what else to do.i love my car dearly, but something needs to be done.the date i put as date of incident is when this all started.
Car stalls after fill-up! acts as though it's flooded and dies. Only happens after filing it up with gas. Drive about a 1/4 mile then it starts to die. This is very dangerous!!!!!!!!!!!! how about a recall?
Car stalls after filling gas tank, at speed or idling. No codes or other indications.
Vehicle stalls out intermittently after refueling. This happens when vehicle is stopped or slowing for a stop. Had vehicle examined and no trouble codes are in the computer.
Vehicle began to misfire and then stalled approximately 1/4 mile after filling fuel tank.this has happened multiple times and is occurring more frequently.this is a serious safety issue since vehicle stopped in the middle of an intersection and almost caused an accident.was able to restart the car and continue to destination.online forums attribute the cause to a faulty vapor purge valve/evap canister and requires fuel tank replacement.
As i was driving across the desert on i-10 in arizona,all of a sudden my car lost all engine power.the lights on the dash chimed, my rpms dropped to zero, then just as suddenly they all went right back to normal and the engine jerked us forward as the tranny figured out what gear it belonged in.it started like that, only happening on occasion.now, i can't make it more than 1-2 miles (literally) without stalling out or losing engine fire.if it happens when i'm at a low mph the car just stalls out and died.no power steering or brakes, but the lights and radio are working.on the hwy at higher speeds, it lurches as described above.on the on-ramp, however, it becomes a life or death situation, especially when starting on a downhill ramp with a big rig wailing up behind me.i have been missed by truly only inches on multipleoccasions.i can't afford a new car, they can't find what's wrong with mine, and i can't sell a vehicle that won't make it for a test drive.can we please get a fix?answers?wasn't it my tax dollars that bought this company out of bankruptcy?
After re-fueling at a local gas station i came to a stop at a traffic signal light.when the light turned green the car stalled.i placed the car in park and it restarted.this also occurred several months ago and i experienced the same scenario each time after re-fueling my vehicle.
After refueling, the car stalled out numerous ti es while on a major highway. Very lucky that i wasn't hit.
Stalling happens after fuel up. Stalling at high speeds while acceleration and while stopped at stop lights. Looses power instantly on freeway the kicks back in.
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...
After re-fueling, my 2006 dodge charger will stall until the car has been driven 20-30 miles. The stall will occur at any speed and will stop after some fuel has been used. I am concerned because this stall has occurred at busy intersections and heavy traffic. I consider this a serious safety issue.
After filling up at gas station, car stalls in traffic when fuel is sucked into vapor recovery system.dealer says fuel tank replacement is not covered by any recalls.
This vehicle has been flawless since purchased new in 2006. In nov. 2013 it stalled when backing out of the garage. Restarted vehicle and was fine for 5 miles then stalled again. Ever since then the problem has increased in frequency and almost caused multiple accidents due to the vehicle stalling when crossing intersections or merging onto highways. I have not driven this car in months due to this as it is not safe for me or other drivers on the road. I have spent close to $2,000.00 in multiple attempts to fix this vehicle following repair manual procedures via the dealer. I have had the pcm, replaced twice (first one was defective right out of the box), tcm replaced, battery replaced, throttle body replaced, map sensor replaced, asd relay replaced and spark plugs replaced with zero improvements. I used to enjoy this vehicle and now it is a death trap with the way it is behaving. Something needs to be done as there are tens of thousands of these vehicles on the road exhibiting the same symptoms and dealer techs unable to properly diagnose and repair them.
3/1/14....my husbands 2006 dodge charger/hemi, a few months after he purchased vehicle, would stall suddenly after filling the fuel tank with gas. He brought it to the dealer, while still under warranty, but they always told him there was nothing seriously wrong, perhaps a little dirt got into the fuel injection and it should clear up on its own. This kept happening but the dealer still would not admit there was anything wrong. Then within the last few months it would sudden stall even without fueling and/or while he was driving, a definite safety issue.he brought it to another dealer, as the one where he purchased the auto closed, and they diagnosed it to be a defected fuel tank. By now, of course, the vehicle was out of warranty, so we had to pay for the service out of pocket. This was done on 1/14/14 and it was expensive. We definitely feel that this is the responsibility of the manufacturer since it should have been repaired while in warranty and expecting some type of reimbursement. Researching this i found many complaints regarding this same issue and i think they will agree with me. Thank you.
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.
I have a 2006 dodge charger r/t and every time i fill up the car stalls while driving, sometimes at slow speeds or once you make a complete stop. It has happened since 2012. I take care of this vehicle. I thought it was the gas which i changed the gas octane and still the same results. I thought the issue would pass but it hasn't. I have stalled in traffic by the grace of god i wasn't hit. Took the car to a dodge dealership a few times they still can't seem to find a reason as to why it stalls. I talked with a guy one day and he said that his wife car has done it and not to fill up or replace the entire fuel system. Why would i not fill up if i'm traveling especially out of town and why replace the same fuel system that's going to eventually give the same results. Sooner or later something bad is going to happen and something needs to be done about it. Really, who knows if it's going to stall even if you don't fill up and stall at the wrong time and someone gets in an accident getting seriously injured or possibly death due to something as filling up a vehicle. Ridiculous your life could be in danger due to putting fuel in your vehicle and no matter how many times there's a complaint about it looks like nothing will get done until someone actually lose their life. More than likely that's how it works nothing is ever done until something bad happens. The car stalled today 4/26/2014.
After a full fill up, while driving car started chugging, and stalled.at red lights, or stop signs, car stalled and died.at a stop, going to start through an intersection, car stalled.
I am about to file a lemon law complaint because dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 dodge charger r/t, since day four of my ownership.i have owned this car for 68 days and of those, i have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days.they have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate".the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission.of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks.i happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car.additionally, i have taken my car to two different mechanics (one dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions.i would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution.
Pe13-016, this issue applies to my charger r/t and anytime i fill up my gas tank the car will stall at any speed.i've had this happen at any speed from the low speeds mentioned to as high as 45 when i was accelerating and i had sloshed the gas tank.anyway, i have talked with multiple dodge dealerships and they have all told me that they have no idea what i'm talking about and that they have nothing in their system that would show them my car was affected.i feel that this is crazy and needs to be corrected.i have a car that will kill itself after any fillup and i can't get the manufacturer to own up to what they promised.
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.
On several occasions in the past 6-8 months i have experienced engine stalling after filling my 2006 dodge charger up with gasoline.in addition to the stalling, on one occasion the engine cut off completely. Thankfully, i was in a low traffic area and it didn't cause a crash. The stalling does not happen when the engine is filled up partially or with about $20.00 worth of gasoline.on september 1st after leaving the grocery store, my husband went to start the car and it started smoking profusely.the car was towed to the dealership.according to the dealership there was oil in the gas tank and, the engine was destroyed.one of the diagnosis codes indicated that cylinder # 5 had misfired.this problem has the potential to be extremely dangerous.chrysler doesn't seem to care at all.
After filling the fuel tank, the car will suddenly stall while driving on the road within 5 miles of fueling up. This can be very dangerous if i am turning and another vehicle is coming at me. I lose all power steering. To start it again i have to either come to a complete stop and put the car in park, or i have to put it in neutral and turn the key while moving. This can be very dangerous under several situations.
Continues to stall after gas fill-up in traffic causing other cars to dodge to right of left to avoid collusion.makes for dangerous driving after fill-up.apparently many other charger owners are having the problem at an increasing rate.this is something chrysler should look into before people get injured or worse! this is well documented on the internet.
When i fill the car completely up with gas, it will stall out while driving several times until the fuel level lowers.
On 10/30/13 at approx 9:30am i refueled my '06 dodge charger 5.7l hemi rt/daytona edition @the gas station w/89-octane fuel. As i pulled out of the station @under 15mph, my car stalled-engine died, oil light & bell appeared, & steering locked up. It took 2-attempts the 1st time to restart it w/ it acting like the engine had flooded. I drove approx. 2-blocks & it again stalled (including all of the above) as i was slowing for a stoplight. It took 2-3 attempts to restart. I drove approx 1-1/2blocks, including a slight incline, to a stoplight where it again stalled, though this time immediately restarted. After driving 3-blocks more, as i slowed for a stoplight it again began to sputter & buck as though going to stall; i cont'd to brake but maintained pressure on the accelerator attempting to maintain rpms & oil pressure; however as i turned the corner it again stalled & took 4-attempts to restart. After sitting for 15mins i had no other issues this date. Today(11/25/13) i refueled & experienced the sputtering, bucking, stalling, engine dying, oil light, zero oil psi, etc w/ 10-full stalls(engine failure episodes) in less than 20-mins. After allowing it to sit for 2+ hours the engine didn't fully die but did buck several times on the drive home. There was at least 1 add'l day between 10/30/13 & 11/25/13 that i experienced the same problems. All stalls have happened at 35mph or less. Prior to the problems after refueling, i was having problems filling the gas tank. I attempted to refuel the car & the auto pump shutoff engaged after less than 1/2-gal entering the tank; the auto pump shutoff would engage 3-5xs per refuel & required multiple readjustments of the pump nozzle to fill my gas tank. I haven't had the car in for diagnostics b/c of the neg reports on the forums indicating diagnostics show no discernible problems. Sounds like tsb#1803015 to me.
The engine stalls after i fill the fuel tank and leave the gas station . Usually this occurs within a block or so after leaving the gas station and it continues for several miles of driving. I do not 'top off' the tank, and i have mindful lately to not even fill up all the way if possible. This issue has caused several 'near accidents' when the vehicle stalls in the lanes of traffic. It causes me to be extremely cautious after filling up. I do not trust that i can any longer drive with other traffic after filling up, forcing me to drive on side roads/access roads for several minutes to minimize the possibility of an accident, in the event the engine stalls. I understand that this is a problem with the ventilation valve in the fuel tank and the only way to correct this issue is to have the fuel tank replaced.
My car has stalled 3 separate times right after i have re-fueled. When driving away from the gas station and onto the street it has sputtered and then turned off in the middle of the street. My vehicle will constantly turn off making it unsafe to drive it. I have once been in the middle of the intersection when my vehicle stalled, i am lucky i was not struck by another vehicle.but as you can see it is extremely dangerous having this happen when driving.
My car stalled less than 1 mile after pulling out of a gas station after filling up with gas. It took several tries to restart before successfully able to drive again. I thought bad gas. But it now happens every time after i fill my tank full of gas. My car's rpms will sputter for the first couple miles after filling up with gas. It also stalls every time driving within the first 2 miles of filling up with gas. It is very scary driving with my family in the car and fearing that my car will stall in the middle of an intersection and cause a major accident. There is no check engine light or diagnostic codes for this. Just the oil light comes on and the engine dies, power steering fails, and abs are not working.
Like a number of others in the database we had just filled the gas tank and driven a few miles.after stopping for a traffic light we attempted to accelerate through the intersection after the light turned green.we just cleared the intersection when the car bucked several times and the engine died.we pulled off to the side of the road and attempted to start the car.after several tries the car started up, idled ok, and we proceeded on.the next time we filled up the car the same thing happened.after doing some research on the internet we found the description of the problem as liquid gas getting into the fuel vent line when the gas tank was filled.we subsequently got gas twice without totally filling the tank and had no problems.the internet site we found indicated that the problem could be either the purge solenoid valve or a valve integral to the gas tank.since the purge solenoid valve was the cheaper fix we tried that first.that fix was not successful as the car stalled after being filled up.we replaced the gas tank yesterday, filled the gas tank, and had no stalling or hesitation.so, it appears that the problem is fixed.however, i could envision a number of situations where one could be in a life-threatening situation if the car died in the middle of an intersection or in heavy traffic on the interstate.since this appears to be a well-known problem i don't understand why there has not been a recall.
2006 dodge chargerthis happened on three separate occasions.after a fill up at a gas station, the car would stall out, usually when just leaving the gas station.all three occasions, the stall out was right in the middle of the road turning on to.luckily, everyone was paying attention and no wreck ensued.according to dodge, the problem is some kind of gas valve failed causing the car to stall.unfortunately, dodge said the valve could not be replaced.the whole gas tank had to be replaced.cost of approximately $2500.safety problems as i see it:1. Valve should not fail and cause a stall out.danger of serious crash.2. Design is deficient that you have to take the gas tank out and put a new one in to fix a defective valve.mileage is an estimate for the time of the last incident.
First instance was on sunday, 6 may 2012.car stalled after turning onto city street while accelerating to posted speed: 35 mph.if fuel tank is filled to click on gas pump (full tank) this continues to happen, especially in very humid weather conditions/rain.car has also stalled on hills at stop signs or traffic lights and has stalled at on-ramps to local interstate highway/city bypass, given the above full fuel tank issue.if i don't fill the tank above the 7/8 mark on the fuel gage indicator, the car does not stall.if i exceed the 7/8 mark, then the car does stall, multiple times if very humid conditions exist and will continue until the fuel tank is at or below 7/8 capacity.i've had approximately 22 stalls since sunday 6 may 2012.it's inconvenient to have to guess when to stop the fuel pump at gas stations and very frightening to stall in traffic, especially at on-ramps to highways.
After filling up my fuel tank up for the first time the car was hard to restart.once the car started the she kept cutting out and even died twice.this happened while i was in traffic.since that time every time i filled the tank i have the same issue.i have had to resort to only filling the car up to 3/4 tank to avoid this issue.
After fueling car, the engine stalled. Luckily i had not pulled into traffic yet. I was able to restart after a couple of attempts and drive back into the parking lot.the engine stalled again. After that, the car wouldn't start. I had to have it towed to the nearest dodge dealership. Because it was thanksgiving, and everything was closed, i had to delay my trip a day before continuing on to my destination. The next day the dealership called and said it was running fine and couldn't find anything wrong with it. I had no further problems until sunday on my way home. I stopped to fill up the tank and it happened again. This time i didn't leave the gas station in fear that it might happen again. I was able to get the car started and keep it idling for about 15 minutes before attempting to drive in traffic. This process took about 2 hours. I continue to have the same issue when filling the tank with gas. I am unable to travel out of town because i don't want to get stranded again and or worse, cause an accident and injure someone. The only tip i can offer that has helped with this issue is to keep the engine running while fueling. I know this is not recommended, but it has helped prevent the engine from stalling after fueling and causing an accident.
After filling the fuel tank the vehicle began to sputter and hesitate.this happened within several miles of the gas station. I thought it was bad fuel.later after filling up at a different gas station the same thing occurred.the third or fourth time this happened the vehicle sputtered and died and the oil service light came on.this last incident occurred as i was heading for a busy highway.i took the vehicle to a chrysler service dept. Where i was told that i would need a new gas tank to fix the problem as one of the parts that failed was part of the gas tank.i asked what would cause this and was told that the tank is a "wishbone" design that straddles the drive shaft and over time the tank sagged on the outer ends causing the problem.the problem stops after the gas level goes down.i no longer fill the tank all the way and the sputtering hasn't happened again.i don't over fill the tank and i don't let the vehicle run while fueling.a dangerous problem.
Vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy street while driving during rush hour traffic.luckily no one hit me (especially since i had my daughter in the car).i had just filled up the gas tank (did not overfill--gas is way too expensive for that).had it towed and the dealer had to replace the fuel tank, o-ring unit, vapor canister, solenoid-proportional purge and some misc. Pins etc.cost me $1900.00 out of my pocket with the dealer giving me a 10% service discount.they also informed me that with the vapor canister failing, if you were in a rollover accident the car most likely would catch fire which would definitely decrease your chances of surviving.this is a huge safety concern for anyone that is driving or riding in the vehicle even if it only shuts off.you can not brake or steer when the car shuts off so getting out of harms way is a challenge without getting hit by another vehicle.i see that there are a huge number of complaints regarding this issue and it needs to be put out as a service recall.not an alert or bulletin but an actual recall.i guess when people start losing their lives and the lives of their loved ones that are passengers then maybe dodge will do the right thing.i see that there is some info out there that dodge was extending the warranty on the fuel tank/system and letters were to be sent to the car owners.i have not received anything i honestly believe that i should be reimbursed.dodge used to have "safety first" on their website.odd, i don't see that anymore.

2006 dodge charger. Consumer writes in regards to design defect on gas tanks *tgwthe consumer stated after driving the vehicle for a year, it started stalling without warning. It kept getting more and more frequent as time went by, but he never realized what was causing the stalling, until one afternoon he left the gas station, and as he turned onto a roadway, he tried to accelerate, and the vehicle stalled and another vehicle swerved to avoid him, but that vehicle crashed into another vehicle and then a tree. A police officer informed the consumer, his vehicle had a known defect with the design of the gas tank.after doing some research, the consumer read where the valve was molded in the gas tank, so raw fuel flooded the valve, stalling the engine.
During normal driving conditions, the fuel tank was punctured and a significant amount of gas streamed out of the tank.to the drivers and passenger's knowledge, no foreign objects were struck by the vehicle.during the subsequent repair by the dealer, it was discovered that the gas tank is made out of plastic, and the corner that was punctured was not protected by an additional shielding device.
Roll over valve on my 06 dodge charger police car is defective. I have read numerous complaints on this issue. When i fill my gas tank up to full the car stalls at lights jumps while on the highway , and stalls on turns.
Car stalls after getting gas. Has stalled while on the highway at 60mph, and has also stalled in the middle of an intersection almost causing an accident. Hard to control and no power steering when it stalls.
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.
For the past 3 months, 5 to 10 minutes after filling up with fuel, car stalls and dies. Spoke to the dealer mechanic and he said he had to replace the total gas tank in an 06 charger a few days ago for the same reason. He went on to say that this is the only way to fix the problem. Cost starts at 1700.00 up to 2500.00. Why is there no recall on this... Chrysler dodge will be paying much more when accidents and injuries start happening due to this issue. I was in the center lane of the freeway and everything locked up. It was peak traffic hours. I threw it in nutral to restart and go, i made it to the slow lane and put my hazard lights on until i could exit off the freeway. Car died 2 more times until i was off the freeway. I wil not drive on the freeway with this car until its fixed.
Hi, i've had a number of issues with the fuel tank scenario the earlier models suffer with. When i fill the car, it stalls a number of times. I was in a situation where i was coming to a light, the rpm's started to drop and the engine started to die as i was breaking. Then the car revved back to life and this cause the rpm's to shoot up jolting the vehicle forward. Immediately after it died yet again however the issue is i lost all power, steering, brakes, everything. From the jolt forward i came dangerously close to rear ending the car in front of me with a heavy brake pedal. At this point i was jarred a bit, and needed to get the car going again. I went to start it and it did no't want to turn over for roughly 30 seconds. The light changed and there was a lineup of disgruntled drivers behind me as i made efforts to get going again. Then inevitably the vehicle died yet again in the middle of the intersection and went through the same situation. To negate this, i have made efforts to not fill the tank. Now the bigger issue i am having is that when i go to put gas in the car, it does not take. I cannot get a gallon in without the pump clicking off. It takes me quite some time, 10 minutes even to simply put $20 in the car, and i get very frustrated gas attendants here in jersey if i'm not permitted to do man the pump. You need to literally stand with it and continue to reset the pump as it slowly takes and continuously clicks off. This problem needs to be solved, it i's simply unacceptable and dangerous. I have many other instances & dates with stalling and jolting issues after fillup. Even when i leave a 1/4 of the tank empty, i still get some symptoms. Not as often, but the car still does die out. Now that it is so difficult to fill, it is inconvenient to drive. I love the car but the issues are almost not worth it, especially with how thirsty the srt is-no pun thanks
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. After refueling the vehicle and driving 5 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The failure mileage was 300.
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.
Car will shut off going 45 mph, at a stop light (0 mph)or when crossing traffic intersections for examples (at most going 10 or 15 mph). I will attempt to restart and the car will start up, stall up and then shut off again - when this happens, i lose power steering. I have to switch gears from drive to park and then turn the car off and then on again in hopes it will start.as you're driving, you can feel when the car is about to cut off, it throttles ahead a bit and revs, then the car beeps and turns off, while the gear is in drive and turning my wheel does nothing. I notice that this issue would usually happen after a fill up my gas tank, so i started only filling up halfway ,but the issue still persists.this issue became heavily frequent yesterday where the car stalled and cut off at least 4 different times while making a 7 mile drive back home. This was very very scary in my eyes, especially with a passenger in my seat.this is a huge safety concern because the vehicle is shutting off while in motion and powering steering is lost. If this happens on the highway going 60+ miles per hour, or turning into oncoming traffic, there is a guaranteed accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death.i believe there is an issue with the gas tank and the evap canister that causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling the engine, which shuts off the car. This was filed under nhtsa pe13-016 (which appears to be closed or inaccessible- https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/acms/cs/documentlist.xhtml?docid=pe13016&doctype=inv). This safety concern really needs to be looked into.
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 but they said i would not becontacted 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? this has been happeningsince i reported it in jan of 2017 on safercar.gov.no action or contact has been made.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle stalled. The contact had to maneuver to the side of the road to a complete stop. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who stated that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The fuel pump was replaced, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was not repaired after the last incident. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vin was unavailble. The approximate failure mileage was 111,000.
First time it staled was when i filled tank up and got imediatly to highway car stalled as i tryed to merg to highway speed .almost got run over by a tractor trailer behind me.it took a while till i discovered that a fil up will cause charger to stall happened many more times after i found that it was gas fil up causing the stallingthat is the only problem with charger.i can only get small amounts of gas at a time.help me... Please.
After fuel refill, motor will stall and die multiple times for up to the next mile of driving at any speed.this is dangerous. After online investigation i found this is a serious problem with many cars of this type.it is also, in my eyes, an extremely expensive repair as it will cost me nearly 1/4 of the price i paid for the car.chrysler should stand behind there product, repair and replace the faulty tanks in all affected vehicles, not just the first unlucky few, who reported it first.
While waiting at stop lights, car idles fine. The moment the light turns green and i release the brake to step on the gas pedal the car stalls. This has happened up to 4 times in one day. Happened only once today 3/6/2014.
After refueling and if i leave the pump, but not the station, i experience bucking and/or stalling and loss of steering and brakes. This happens even up to a couple of miles of driving. My car bucks violently at highway speeds and even stalls.if i stop at a stop sign or light, it stalls. It happens on a soft or hard acceleration. I tried them both.if i do leave the station immediately, it will then happen on a city street, road, even on the interstate. It happens after every fill-up, so travel is not only unnerving, it's unsafe... Losing steering or brakes. They told me not to top off at the gas pump. I don't. It happens on the flat, up hill, down hill, turning right or left, warm weather or cold weather, high or low humidity, itstill happens. I was told that it is about a $1500 fix. If i had $1500, i wouldn't be driving a 13 year old car.
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 issue in being addressed, which is bad business.this is a huge safety issue and i do not feel safe driving my kids in a car that stalls at any given time.
Filled up tank. Drove car for 1/2 hour approx 30 miles. While making a left hand turn at a low rate of speed the car stalled, shut it self off. The oil lamp and traction control light came on.car would not fire back up. Took a few attempts. Upon restarting the car was running rough.continue driving at very low speed attempting to turn into parking stall car again stalled and shut it self off.felt the car was unsafe to drive home. Had it towed.
Car stalls after filling up with fuel. Also dies for no reason at intermittent times. These happen while in motion or sitting at idle.
I drive a 2006 dodge charger r/t with the 5.7l hemi. It has the 19 gallon fuel tank in it. The tank is defective as it causes the car to stall soon after a fill up and usually it'll just stall anytime it chooses even in the middle of the road. This is a known issue and the nhtsa and chrysler settled this earlier this year. Well, i called chrysler corp. About this and they transferred the warranty into my name and asked me to have it towed to the dealership. After all that was done, i get a call from dodge customer care and they tell me that there is no warranty on the car since it was originally registered and made for canada. This is a very stupid excuse to avoid repairing a problem they caused. They are refusing to repair their defect as per the terms they agreed to with the nhtsa. This vehicle is unsafe to drive as it stalls out at any time.
Car stalls numerous times after fueling. Dodge says my vin does not show any recalls. Refer to (pe13-016)
I have had an issue with my car stalling and it seems there are many others with the same issue. The fact that this is not being looked at as a safety concern is beyond me. Just because you don't reach 90mph when it stalls does not mean accidents will not occur. If i am turning into a street and traffic is coming in my direction and i stall should i just "restart" my vehicle in hopes that someone doesn't t-bone me? sounds like a bad plot to the start of a movie. Just do the right thing here and fix this world wide issue and let us move on with our muscular cars!
Car shuts off while driving at any speed.
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 stallouts after fillups.chrysler is aware of this problem based upon info i pulled off web, and only permanent recommend fix was to replace gas tank and all lines since they come as one assembly unit, but that sounds like a definite manufacturer's defect to me as opposed to a normal wear and tear issue, and should be made into a recall before someone gets seriously injured.
My 2006 dodge charger is stalling on me every time i put gas in it. This is a safety hazard,
I filled my gas tank up and when i did as i was driving at around 15-20mph my car stalled on me and later on it shut off as i was coming to a stop this happens every time i fill my gas tank up.
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!
1. After filling the tank the car is subject to engine shutting off periodically. 2. Car isstuck in park and cannot be gotten out of park
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!

After filling up with gas was turning onto a main road when car suddenly stalled. Dodge dealer could not find problem. Happened several more time over the next couple of month after filling gas tank. Replaced fuel pumps per dealer recommendation. A couple of months later it happened again after filling tank. Did a search and found same problem with gas tank on this same model. In may 2013 replaced gas tank.on several of these instances of car stalling i was leaving gas station and turning into traffic when the vehicle stalled causing near accidents. This is going to cause a fatality if it hasn't already.
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 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.
Vehicle stalls for no reason while in motion on the highway. This appears to happen every time after topping vehicle up with fuel.
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 hasbeen done and they have yet to tell me what the problem is

While driving after filling gas tank to full, vehicle stalled twice on way home. Both occurrences happened within a 5 minute period. Both occurrences happened with the vehicle in motion, on a city street.
After refueling, the vehicle stalls and runs rough.usually requires restarting a couple of times before it eventually smoothes out.has stalled several times while on freeway after refueling nearly causing an accident.have been experiencing problem every time vehicle is refueled for the past 2-3 years.problem is becoming more serious.
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.
Pulled in to gas station because my gas light came on with my wife and 3 of my children, one being only 1 year old, and a trunk full of fresh meats and fish from the market on a hot ga day 45 miles from home, put in $30 worth of gas which almost filled it up, went to start my car and it started jerking, clicking and shaking real bad before it just died. As scary as it was that this was happening i tried to start again and got the same result. With this kind of load and a baby on a hot day, broke and no other way home, i tried a few more times until it stopped turning over and just made a click sound, 1 click. A tire shop guy across the street seen i needed help, due to the baby now hungry and crying, came over to see if he could help. After trying to start again he said may be my battery, alternator or starter so he went to the parts store and got an h7 loaner battery. Once installed tried starting and again it started jerking, clicking and shaking real bad before dying. Another guy walked over to help, again due to the baby crying, and said that sounds like your fuel pump and said "i heard of people having problems with this when filling up with gas and they(dealership) have to replace your gas tank for free". I had to pay well over $100 for a tow truck and had to pay a complete stranger to follow me home with my family because there was no room in the tow truck for them. I've never had issues like this with my car but now as i'm researching for diy resolutions i'm finding that there are others who have had similar issues. This needs to be fixed immediately. I'm now out of money. I have 5 children and am the only one in my house working and this is my only means of transportation that i am still paying a note on. By the way, tried to start my car again and its still doing the same effing thing. Chrysler needs to do something fast!!!
Vehicle stalled again today (october 19th, 2013) with no warning while making a left-hand turn at a major intersection. Filled up earlier today with no top off. Has happened multiple times prior since (may 2013). Dealer can not diagnose. Normally happens after fuel fill up. After complaining multiple times to the dealer, replaced all spark plugs and performed a transmission flush and re flashed the pcm at my expense, despite having warranty coverage through 2015 120k miles because they could not repeat the problem on a 5 minute test drive. The vehicle stalled again two days later. After more visits no solution has been met and this car is extremely unsafe.

Shortly after filling up the gas tank the car stalled repeatedly when stopping.
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.
Every time i fill car with fuel right after fueling it dies . Sometimes 2-3 times. Can be hard to restart. Already replaced evap solenoid did not correct. This is know issue with fca vin range should be expanded.
The car stalls after filling up the fuel tank.dodge has extended the warranty on these tanks but says my car is not covered.this is a safety issue, i have had it stall on the highway and in traffic.i don't understand why this isn't a safety recall.
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 may seem like an easy fix to that rep, this problem goes beyond just fixing. Its a fire hazard and dodge needs to look further into this. Maybe when something drastic happens on this account i guess that when it may matter to this company. I my self have taken multiple pictures and videos.
After filling gas tank completely, car started stalling going down the road. Continued to stall at stop light and in parking lot and would not stay running unless hitting the gas pedal. Problem seemed to resolve itself after a few miles. Same exact issue has happened multiple times over the last few months, but only when filling the gas tank completely. When only putting partial amount into tank, this issue does not seem to be an issue. Have done research online and it seems to be a common problem with the 2006 charger and 2 other chrysler models. Spoke with firestone in columbus ga and was advised there was a service bulletin regarding this issue and that my gas tank needed to be replaced. Contacted a dodge dealership in columbus ga over 2 months ago and was advised fuel tank is on national back order.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 15 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred after the fuel tank was refueled. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where the technician informed that the vehicle was functioning as designed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,000.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle would begin to hesitate before stalling. The contact was able to restart the vehicle but the failure was recurring. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to duplicate the failure. No repairs were performed. The contact also stated that when the engine was first started, the odor of gasoline was present inside the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 96,000.
I first noticed an issue not long after buying the car. After every fill up (without topping off), within a few hundred feet of driving off the oil pressure light comes on and the car shuts off. It has not caused an accident yet but it is a huge annoyance and could cause future problems. I've read online that its an issue with the evap system. Its an expensive issue and is due to poor vehicle parts, not operator use and needs to be recalled and fixed.
When i fill up the gas tank of my vehicle, starts properly and runs good for a few minutes then stalls, pull to the side of the road, start again and runs fine for a few more minutes and then it does it again, vehicle is in motion or stationary, it happen also twice when turning and power steering went out almost ran out of the road the first time and the second had to apply brakes hard in order to avoid collision with another vehicle, very un-safe and dangerous. When driven about 40-60 the problem goes away and then starts all over when gas tank is filled up again. I do not have photos, police report or any other documentation to upload and hope not to have any to get this issue resolved.
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.
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.
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.
Car stall 3-4 times after refueling then runs fine until next refueling
The vehicle stalls while driving, no matter the speed, and the power steering goes out when vehicle stalls preventing me from being able to steer the vehicle. This has happened several times, even on the interstate with other fast moving vehicles behind me, and is very dangerous. I have had different parts replaced trying to fix the problem, and was told the entire fuel tank will have to be replaced to solve the problem. I went online to see if other dodge owners experienced the same problem, and was amazed at the thousands of people complaining about the exact same thing. This website is one of many. Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t4117_ds539199 the problem seems to start after 90,000 miles. There should be a recall to fix this problem before someone gets killed.
After filling up with gas drove out of gas station and car stalled started it up and i drove a couple blocks and it did it again drove about 1/2 mile it did it again. It was scary i was in heavy traffic.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that when the fuel tank was filled to capacity, the vehicle stalled then the oil pressure light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the fuel tank and the fuel operational canister. However, the failure was not corrected. The vehicle continued to stall. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000 and the current mileage was 109,000. The vin was not available.
It happen after i put gas in the car. I was driving and the car just die, i put it in park and started right away but it was driving like if it needed oxygen to breath. The next stop it die again i put it in park again and started right away and i continue to go home. It is very scary i drive the freeway a lot thank god it did not happen while i was on the freeway i would it cause a big accident. Now every time i put gas the car does the same thing i need to find an answer to the problem.
After filling tank 2006 dodge charger rt v8 stalled multiple times. First two still sitting at pump, next at intersection while turning right and also lost power steering, next at parking space while straightening out. Serious safety hazard, especially at intersections or stalling in traffic. Found nhtsa pe13016 regarding this issue, but i see it is closed and was only issued to certain vins. All affected models should be covered for the tank replacement and associated 'float' and vapor purge valve.
While driving my 2006 dodge charger, at interstate speeds, while operating with cruise control, a single alarm sounded, the vehicle lost power and completely shut down, only to restart seconds later and accelerate again. Since that incident, the vehicle has stalled on multiple occasions, while driving at nearly any speed, accelerating, stopped at lights, every scenario imaginable. On two separate occasions while pulling out of a parking lot, making a left hand turn, the vehicle has completely stalled leaving me sitting in the oncoming lane of traffic, once nearly being hit in the driver side door. If i had to describe one situation that seems to take precedence, it would be mostly when accelerating. The problem occurs randomly, and at times will not stall at all for several days, then stall 10 times in one day. It has nothing to do with the fuel level, full tank full, half, or empty, right after fill-ups, or before. It is a random problem that can and will occur anytime, under any circumstance. This is certainly a safety issue, and will ultimately result in someone's injury. In reading multiple post on the internet (hundreds/thousands) it is obviously a common problem, but there does not really ever seem to be a definitive answer to correct.
After filling my vehicle my car will stall and random intervals. Simply drive away from the gas station and the vehicle would stall so i'd start it and then continue to drive. This largely happened while i'm stationary so i wasn't very concerned until i had it stall while i was turning on to a street and almost got side swiped by an on coming car. This is extremely dangerous and should be dealt with by the company as they have acknowledged it as an issue and i have seen multiple people file complaints about this issue and nothing is being done. This in my opinion is more dangerous than the sir bag issue my vehicle has already had a recall for. Chrysler and dodge has acknowledge the issue and stated it's a valve i can't recall the name of the specific part and having to replace the gas tank.
After filling up with gascar will either stall right awayor sometimes aftera few mileswhen car stallsloose power steering and brakesmaking for a very dangerous situation.
Vehicle turn off and stalls when driving 55mph. Turn off at intersections and vehicle is hard to control when vehicle turns off.
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.
Car stalls 5 or 6 times at a low speed or stop after fueling every time i fuel.
Car stalled 100 feet from service station after fill up with premium gas. Since then the car is run with 1/4 to 3/4 tank of gas and never filled completely up. Car shuts off during acceleration from stop light numerous times. Car shuts off at various speeds and starts back running with a surge in acceleration. This happens with and without cruise control on. Going up or down hills and on level pavement. Amount of gas in tank does not make a difference. Changed to different key no keyring without change in symptoms. Mobile 1 synthetic oil changed regularly. Car is driven by older driver within speed limit. Purchased car new with no miles on it. This is a safety issue that will get someone killed. Last drive was 20 miles. Car shut down and restarted itself 5 times going down the road at 40 mph. I want to repair the car but chrysler/dodge will not issue a fix for this problem. First dodge i have ever owned.
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.
Immediately after fueling vehicle to regular capacity and automatic shutoff - no "topping off". Left the filling station and the car stalled several times, each time in a precarious position such as decelerating to make a turn or coming to a stop at a light.car dies losing power steering and breaks.thought this might be bad gas but it has since repeated every time the car is refueled.this is becoming a serious safely concern as the condition is common during the first 50 or so miles of driving after a fill up.upon speaking with the dealer they blamed the issue on the end user overfilling the tank.as the only user of the vehicle it is never overfilled nor topped off.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. After filling the vehicle with fuel, it stalled in traffic. Sometimes the vehicle would restart, but other times the contact would have to crank the vehicle several times to restart it while in traffic. The dealer (sterling chrysler jeep dodge ram, 5504 i-49 frontage rd, opelousas, la 70570, (337) 942-1241) and the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle remained parked at the contact's house with no repairs completed. The failure mileage was 170,000.
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.
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.
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.
I have a 2006 dodge charger r/t with a 5.7 hemi.on several occasions, the engine has stalled when i was stopped at a stoplight. The car was in drive and stopped with my foot on the brake.after putting in into park, it would take several tries to get the engine started again. It also stalled once while coasting into my driveway.i was traveling at less than 5 mph with my foot on the brake.again it was hard to restart.
I had just tanked up the car with premium unleaded, pulled out and came to a stop at light . The car surged and shut off, i placed it in park restarted it. Then driving again 2mins later the car started stall i put it in (n) revved the engine. I had to stop at light and the engine again shut off,, put in (p) restarted it and before reaching home it started to stall again, but i was able to keep it running until home this trip was only 4miles.
The first time the issue happened was right after we filled up gas, we drove onto the i-5 and proceeded up the grapevine in california, very steep grade. As we started going up the car bogged and died, which slowed our speed dramatically as well as gave me very hard steering at 65 mph. We almost got rear-ended by a larger vehicle behind us, do to our rapid de-acceleration going up hill with no brake lights. The reason for no brake lights is because i was not slowing down on my own. Than the car took about 15 cranks to start on the side of the road. Than i proceeded to merge into traffic which was a safe merge, until the car bogged a second time in the slow lane which this time i had a semi truck behind us. Another close call getting to the shoulder. We waited 5 minutes started car again and proceeded on our way with no problems. Since this first incident in jan 2013, our car has done this about a dozen other times. There were times driving around corners when the car bogged and died which made it very difficult to steer without power steering. After many incidents were figured out this only happens directly after fill up. If the tank is filled more than 7/8 of the way the car will stall while driving. Very unsafe for my family and this problem is a huge issue with these cars, exp. Charger, magnum, 300.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 60 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact mentioned that the failure occurred after the vehicle was refueled. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 81,000.
Pe13-016.car stalls repeatedly after refueling.
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.
Engine stalls (shuts off) after refueling.major safety concern while in an intersection.this happens after refueling (not topping off).
Vehicle stalls and jerks after fuel fill-up
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.
Filled tank up with gas day before this happened.driving down road at 25 mph the car stalled.it would restart and stall again.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled after refueling. The contact indicated that the failure occurred when the fuel level was above 3/4 and while turning or coming to a stop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was found that a faultyrollover valve/vapor valve was allowing fuel to enter the engine. The manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 80,000.
There is deterioration in the upper parts of the filler pipe. The vent (can't recall the proper name) causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling which shuts off the car (like some cars that will not start if the gas cap is not on completely.) replacing this part will not solve the problem long term.
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.
Power shuts off randomly, stalling, acceleration lost, but will fire right back up if you flip the key around or put in neutral. Very unsafe if traffic coming and it shuts right down. Also while in park it's shuts off
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!!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 40 mph, the engine stalled. The vehicle was restarted, but the failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000.
Fueled the car, car stalled several times while driving.happens each time car is fueled. I have tried fueling slowly, and fueling small amounts, nothing works.car will stall 2-3 times either while sitting or while driving.
My car stalls out and turns off at a light or driving after filling the fueltank.
After filling up the gas tank vehicle was running, sitting in traffic.engine stalled.vehicle took a few minutes to restart as it sat in rush hour traffic. Research indicates this dangerous problem is common on this vehicle.
This problem is related to the purge solenoid. The evaporative emissions system stores fuel vapors from the tank and then burns them in the engine, to keep the vapors from going into the atmosphere. When you fill the tank with fuel the air and vapor that the fuel displaces has to go into the evap system. There is a valve on top of the tank that allows the vapor out, but is supposed to shut off when liquid fuel hits it as the tank fills. What happens is this valve fails and it allows you to push liquid fuel into the evap system when you push too much fuel into the tank. This liquid fuel goes into the vapor canister and lines. When you start the engine a couple minutes later the purge solenoid will come on to do it's job and burn these vapors, but with this failed valve it sucks up liquid fuel instead, so the engine runs rough and can die at idle. The vehicle stalls for the next 5 miles or so whenever you take your foot off the gas, i.e. Taking a turn or sitting at a traffic light. The vehicle bucks violently as well. When the engine stalls it cuts all power to the vehicle causing you to lose power steering and the abs. Because the vehicle is vapor locked it will not restart immediately. My fear is that i am going to pull into traffic and be involved in an accident when my vehicle stalls and will not restart or i'll be injured when it happens taking a curve or turn. Chrysler customer service center says they have no service bulletins on this issue and no one else has complained about. A quick internet search (dodge charger stall after filling with gas) shows it is a wide spread issue not only with the charger but the magnum and chrysler 300 as well. Only way to fix issue is to replace the entire gas tank which is a $900 part with 2-3 hours labor.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger rt. The contact received a manufacturer's recall on the fuel/propulsion system however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.
My car has had multiple occurrences where i am sitting at a stoplight in traffic and the car will suddenly shut off for no reason. This usually occurs after i fill the gas tank completely full after a trip to the gas station. My car has also done this while the car is moving. This has happened up to 70 mph while trying to pass another vehicle. The car actually "coughed" then just sort of stalling, suddenly started performing normally. This vehicle has stalled so many times at stoplights in traffic that my wife is afraid to drive it anymore. My local chrysler dealer has installed two different transmission control modules in the car in an attempt to fix the problem, but to no avail. I have noticed that since i have stopped filling the gas tank completely full that the stalling has stopped.
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, onhighway 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.
I have a 2006 dodge charge rt with 130000 miles. The problem is thatit stalls when driving with no warning, loosing al power including power steering. This is getting very dangerous for my family.
Engine shuts off at any speed. Spent over $6,000 at dealership still has same problem. Very very dangerous at freeway speeds lose of power steering and power brakes when the engineshuts down. Will restart and drive after malfunctioning.
After filling up gas tank drove off from gas station car stalled started car right back up drove some more and it stalled again started car right back up drove and once again car stalled this time i was in the middle of traffic very scary it almost caused me to get hit by other drivers , went online to see if anyone else has had this problem and found many other owners with the same issue with the exact same scenario, car is well maintained and runs great other then this issue
My 2006 dodge charger stalls after i fill up the gas tank. The check oil light will come on and the car shuts off. This happens after i come to a stop after the fill-up. Eventually it stops stalling.
Car stalls when slowing down or stopped, but not all the time, it's very erratic.on occasion it cuts out for a second while driving along at 50 mph.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving various speeds, the valve inside of the fuel tank allowed raw fuel to enter into the fuel lines, which caused the vehicle to stall without warning. The dealer (mclnerney's woodhaven chrysler, dodge, jeep located at 23940 allen rd, woodhaven, michigan, 48183) stated that the failure was under recall; however, the vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000.
On 4 separate occasions now within the past few months, my car will shut off on its own after i have filled it with fuel.the first 2 times the car shut off while in the fueling station parking lot.the third time occurred while i was driving on a three lane road traveling at 50mph.the last incident occurred at a major intersection causing my vehicle to block traffic.each time was immediately after filling the car with gas.i use only premium fuel in the car and the fuel was purchased at different businesses.after allowing the car to sit for a minute or so, the car will restart and runs as normal.i have called a local dodge dealer and was told there are no recalls and that there is no way for them to diagnose what could cause this to happen.i have been told by other dodge charger and chrysler 300 owners that they too have had this issue; car shutting off after fueling.my concern is that by stalling in an intersection or at high speed, eventually a wreck will occur.i am also concerned by the dodge dealer's service department telling me there is no way to diagnose this issue.
After filling up, my car engine stalls. I took it to the mechanic and was told chrysler knows about it. I looked it up on your site and indeed found pe13016 but disagree with the finding being that it is a low safety issue. This has happened multiple times where i would be in the middle of traffic and the engine stalls and shuts off and the steering locks up where i can't steer the car whatsoever. The mechanic told me that it was due to a fuel vapor lock in which the evap valve stays open and due to it, the engine runs rich because of the fuel. I was told not to overfill in which i have stopped, however, this happens just by filling up. I have had to rev the engine to burn off gas until the engine stops stalling. Every time, i've stopped traffic in the middle of the road and it has happened at night as well where visibility is low and almost got hit because my car stalled. It has also happened right before turning in a busy intersection and thankful that it happened right before i made the turn. Every time it has happened i've been in motion on a city street and a few times on a highway but every time i was about to turn. The first time it happened, i didn't know and got the tow truck to tow the car and had the police to come behind me because in his words, i was in an unsafe location, so that no other oncoming vehicles would hit me. The date that i placed on when it happened is the last date it has happened thus far as of this writing.
After refilling the gas tank, the engine stalled several times with "bucking".the tank was not overfilled.after about 5 miles and several stalls, the condition went away and did not reoccur until i gassed up at a different station two weeks later.again the tank was not overfilled. Internet search indicates that this is being investigated as pe13-016.prior to this there has been no similar incidents.others have had similar issues.
Vehicle jerks while driving as if something is starting to die or go out, then starts running again. Only appears to happen after filling the fuel tank to completely full. Vehicle will stall out within several feet after fueling up, then restart and you're good to go. You drive maybe an eighth of a mile and as you slow to a stop, the car will stall out and die again. Usually fine for the rest of the evening. Vehicle eventually shuts off when i come to a near stop or am stopped. Oil lamp light turns on when the car dies. Tried restarting twice, but was unsuccessful. Took the key out of the ignition, then waited a few minutes. Tried to start the engine again and was successful. It seems extremely unsafe to drive like this, but it seems i have to drive long enough to burn off some gas to keep the gas tank under full at all times to avoid this problem.
Filled up my 2006 dodge charger 5.7l hemi v8 today and i got out of the gas station parking lot then it stalled out and died.i had my two small children with me, and i was on an extremely busy houston street having to try to get my car home with it repeatedly dying anytime i had to slow down to come to a stop at a light or accelerate from a stop.this has never happened before, and the vehicle was running fine until i filled it up.i did not over fill, i never top off.
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
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. After filling the vehicle with fuel, it stalled without warning. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired the failure continued intermittently. The manufacturer was notified. The vin was unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 179,000.
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 the gas tank and driving home, the car stalled on the street in front of my home. Took 3-4 time to get it started again.could have had an accident.
My daughter after fueling up her 2006 dodge charger rt and while leaving the fueling station, the car stalled in traffic. Several attempts to start with no success. After receiving assistance moving the vehicle to a safe parking place, the car started, but ran extremely rough. After about five minutes the engine smooth out. This problem would happen only after filling up with fuel. Tried fueling up at different fueling stations, same results. The engine seems to would shut off always as you are attempting to get into traffic. Had our mechanic check the vehicle out the first time, they cleaned all to do with injectors and housing ect. Still the problem exist. Worry with this car and my daughter driving it with the potential to stall in traffic. Since the problem started, the vehicle has stalled from fueling up approximately 15 times.
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 said all they can do is rely on the dealership's diagnostics... Literally just a waste of time. Why even assign a case manager? i took the car in to replace the fuel tank since it was under warranty (aka free)... I'm a college student with no finances for repair. Now, i'm left with a faulty, unsafe, nearly inoperable vehicle with no other means of transportation. Someone needs to step in.
Car stalls and engine shuts down, loss of steering while either sitting still or driving at higher speeds. This has happened on numerous occasions after adding fuel to the car.
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 ??
After filling up with fuel my charger will stall. It has happened 5 or 6 separate occasions over the past 2 years. I generally do not fill the car up all the way because of this. However just today i had the same problem after accidentally filling it. I do not top off the car when filling once the nozzle clicks off i stop. Today after getting gas i went to pull out into traffic and the car stalled. The power steering would not work the engine shut off and i was stranded halfway out into the lane of oncoming traffic. I put the car in park and restarted it and drove about 20 feet before it shut off again. This is a huge safety issue. I thought i was going to be hit. I did manage to get the car home which is about two miles away but i had to restart it four more times. I've got roughly 80,000 miles on the car i have always kept up with maintenance and with any repairs that needed to be done. I searched online to see if there was a recall for this problem but there doesn't seem to be even though a lot of people seem to be having the same problem not only with the chargers but with three hundreds as well
Car shuts off without warning while in motion after filling gas tank. Power steering goes out as well. Very dangerous as the driver has no warning...
Just after i filled up with gas (topped off the tank) i drove don the road and the car stalled and took 15-20 seconds to restart.this happen each time i topped off the fuel rank. If i only fill to 3/4 full no problem.
This incident started occurring in september of 2014 but i always thought it was a "hiccup" and never really paid it any mind until it starting happening much more frequently. After i fill up my gas tank (i don't over fill) my car has intermittent engine stalls causing me to lose throttle response and my power steering. Sometimes the car has enough rpm to restart the motor but most of the time i have to shift to neutral and turn the key to restart. This is happening while driving down the interstate!! scares me to death. Now i have this stalling issue every single time i fill up. When slowing down is when the incident is most prevalent but even taking turns its happened and i lose power steering. This is a safety issue.
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.
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.
The vehicle continues to die randomly.this time, the vehicle died while attempting to accelerate onto the interstate (from the ramp).this time we took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and said nothing about the possibility that it could be related to the fuel tank valve.the independent mechanic believes it is the fuel tank valve and recommended we contact dodge because the car should be included in the tsb and the tank be replaced...updated 08/25/15the consumer stated the failure occurred after each fill up of the gas tank.updated 11/30/2015
Pump a full tank and the car stalls at low rpmon a city streetwhen in motion and not in motion happen about 6 time after i put a full tank been goin on for about a month
After filling fuel to proper level the vehicle shakes and as car continues to drive at normal speeds car shuts down and loses steering and power. This may be related to the fuel tank issue these have with the built in valves. The fuel pump works just fine so i know its not that. Again symptoms only happen when filling the gas tank to full which is the proper level. I don't understand why this car was not recalled along with the rest. Although i'm starting to be really hesitant of ever buying any dodge or chrysler vehicle again.
On 5 or 6 occasions, when gas tank is full, my charger stalls. On one occasion, it restarted easily only to stall again seconds later. Another occasion, stalled,restart, stalled, restart, stalled, restart. Another occasion, stalled and took several attempts to restart. Has stalled from sitting and idling , 10mph and 30 mph. Once it stalled as i was coming to stop at signal light and narrowly avoided rear ending car in front of me because was difficult to apply brake.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated after filling the gas tank the vehicle stalled without any warnings. The vehicle was able to be driven to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not taken to a mechanic. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 100,000 and the current mileage was 118,000.
I have a 2006 dodge charger srt-8, after a fill-up at the gas station today as i proceeded out of the gas station i noticed my car started to sputter as i was coming across a bridge. As i came off the bridge my car started to sputter even more and finally as i stopped at a red light the car just stalled. I re cranked the car not sure of what was going on and proceeded down to my military installation gate entrance. As i approach the gate guard the car just stalls again right in the middle of morning traffic. This was very dangerous especially having a stalled car at the entrance of a military base. I recranked the car again and proceeded to work and as i was going to park the car it just shut off in the parking lot. This seems to be a safety related problems and deserves a true investigation. This problem seems to be unpredictable so i will not drive the car with my children in it anymore; i do not feel like the car is safe.
Car shuts off after filling tank. Happens everytime i fill up. Mechanic says it has to do with the check valve.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger . The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact indicated that the defect occurred multiple times after refueling.the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 130,000.
I filled my gas tank to full and it hesitates to start and also shut off on me once.
Please refer to pe13-016 regarding similar complaints.after filling car with gas left gas station and car stalled in traffic.after a few minutes car started but i had to sit blocking traffic until it started again.
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.
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.
My 2006 dodge charger rt with the road and track option will intermittently loose power and often die after filling gas tank. Even if you don't completely fill it still will die unexpectedly.i never top the tank off with more gas.in addition when car dies going around a curve, the power steering goes out making driving really dangerous.the engine dies at nearly any condition.when traveling at highway speed, after accelerating after stopping. It happens most during acceleration after turns.
Sometimes after filling the fuel tank full with gasoline, when driving the car, the engine stalls and quits.it can be a bit difficult to restart.i have only had this happen on city streets because those are the only places i normally drive.
I just filled my car up with gas and drove it. I came to a stop at the light and when i began to accelerate my car stalled in the middle of the intersection. It finally picked up speed, but as i approached the second light it completely cut off. I was able to start it but i had to go over 50+ or more miles per hour to keep it from stalling. Once i drove into my driveway it completely cut off again. I ran the car for 30 minutes and it did not cut off, but when my husband left for work, as he approached the red light it cut off once again. This has got be fixed. It is to dangerous to stop in the middle of the intersection, or anytime while driving for that matter. I have a 2006 dodge charger rt hemi 5.7liter engine.up to date on all oil changes.
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.
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.
Car stalls after refueling.stalls while moving thru traffic or at slow speed and stop lights.
After every time i fill up the gas (not top off)the car stalls out
After filling up with gas, the car stalls/dies 2-4 times. Restarts right up but this is a safety issue because it has died in heavy traffic, turning onto other streets in traffic and pulling out of parking lots into traffic. Severe safety issue!
Fuel system issue pertaining to lack of fuel to engine. There have been multiple occasions where the vehicle had hard starting and stalling, now the vehicle won't start. After investigating common issues (i.e., air, fuel, spark) it was determined that fuel was not traveling to the fuel rail at the engine. The fuel pump was replaced and the issue persisted. Currently the vehicle in non-operational due to the lack of fuel. I fell this issue is very similar to the nhtsa pe13016 investigation where the determination was to replace the fuel tank as the integrated multifunction control valve (mfcv) was found to be defective. The manufacturer offered a lifetime warranty for the issue, however it was stated that the vehicles included in the extended warranty were equipped with the 5.7l and 6.1l 8-cylider engines. We find this inaccurate as our vehicle is equipped with the 3.5l 6-cylinder and is suspect to have the identical issues as stated in the all of the investigative documents for pe13016.
Every time i fill up the car dies for about 5-10 miles every time i come to a stop.it looks like the roll over valve is faulty in the tank.i have heard rumors that this is an extended warranty period item.is that correct?
Car randomly stalls, sometimes while stationary and sometimes while driving. Very dangerous.
After filling the gas tank the engine stalls and is difficult to restart.it will do this until the tank is not completely full.
I went and filled my gas tank and drove away from store about 200 feet and car completely shut offwhile driving had to pay 100 dollars to get towed only 2miles away from local repair shop
Engine stall after filling gas tank up and starting to drive vehicle on roadway
My car started dying after being filled at the gas station.it was very dangerous driving and slowing down to have it die.clearly there is a problem somewhere in the fuel system.
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.
After refilling my tank with gas, my car suddenly began to stall. Immediately after refilling, i started my car and within a few seconds it shut off. After many attempts of starting it and remaining stationary, my car finally remained on for more than 5 minutes and i assumed it was safe to begin driving. 5 minutes into driving on a city street the car began to jerk and stalled in the middle of the street, fortunately it didn't cause an accident. I was able to restart it and turn into the nearest shopping center where i contacted chrystler, who claimed they had no knowledge of this issue. I've seen a multitude of complaints with similar, if not the same, issues i continue to experience.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated while driving at low speeds, the engine stalled without warning. There were numerous attempts before the engine would restart and then the vehicle would resume normally. The failure recurred only after refueling. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.
My car randomly cuts off at times while i'm driving. I don't know what the problem is. It seems that most mechanics can pinpoint the issue. It has happened on numerous occasions.
This has happened at least three times now. Twice for sure leaving a gas station the first time i was approaching a stop sign leaving the gas station and it stalled out. Most recently i was leaving the gas station and had made it out on the road at about 35 mph when the veh stalled. I made it to the shoulder and shut it down. I was able to get it started again. It died again about 150 ft later. Luckily this was right in front of my mechanics shop. He looked at it today and told me i need a new fuel tank because raw fuel is getting pushed up through the vapor valve. I now see i'm not the only person with this issue. Clearly it's a problem with the valve.
Every time i fill up the gas tank the car it stalls and shuts off. This causes lost of steering and may start immediately after or take a few tries. I've had my son with me in the car when this happens and i am afraid that we might be rear ended or it may shut off and have no steering at a crucial turn or in a busy intersection. I saw that this website closed the investigation because dodge (allegedly) was sending owners letters to fix the problem with an extended warranty starting in jan. 2014. It is april 2014 and the problem is not listed in the dodge website. Dealerships are not aware either. I just talked to dodge and my car does not fall under this extended warranty. They basically told me they were not responsible if anything happens because of the problem. I hope they are not waiting on a fatality to actually do something about it. Dodge needs to be proactive and not reactive. I see complaint after complaint here about the same problem. Something needs to be done.
When i fill the car up and it stops the fuel pump automatically, i close the gas cap and start the car. When i drive off it will stall. It will start back up right after but i have been making a turn after leaving the gas station and the car has stalled leaving me with no power steering or brakes. It only does this when i fill the car up. Because of this issue i can only fill the car 3/4 of the way up.
I was in the middle of an intersection, turning left, and my vehicle just turns off. Very unsafe for a car to turn off in the middle of driving. Luckily this didn't cause an accident. 2 other instances, i was turning out onto a busy street, pulling out of the gas station after filling up. It makes me nervous to put gas in the car and wondering when the car will die out. The shutting down of the vehicle happens after everytime i put gas into it. Its not an issue of overfilling the tank because i,ve been filling up a vehicle gas tank for over 20 years and have never had an issue. Even if i don't fill it up completely, this occurs. I have heard from many other people having the same issue with the same year chargers. Others who have had this same issue have said its the vapor purge valve on top of the gas tank.
The car stalled as i was driving. I have looked up this issue before and people have said it has something to do with the fuel tank. A dealership has replaced the fuel tank a few months back and today it stalled again. This is the first time this has happened since replacing the fuel tank. It appears this is a bigger problem than just the fuel tank. There should be a recall placed before people are seriously hurt and/or killed. The car shuts off while driving. If it is on the freeway then it'll be catastrophic on what can happen. The car also loses steering when it shuts off causing a bigger problem.
I refueled the gas tank with high octane gas, and while driving the short distance home, the engine stalled three times.this made braking difficult and scary, as i was in traffic.each time it started back up, but left me very afraid of wrecking from possibly not being able to stop the car.the same problem occurred after refueling on 9/13/13 and 11/16/13 and 1/31/14. I reported the first incidentthat occurred on 4/28/13 on a separate complaint form (xref odi #10562746.as of this date (2/3/14) the mileage is 27,670. The low mileage is because i alternated between three vehicles.
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.
Recently, after pumping gas into my car and after driving for a few moments, the car stops as i approach a stop sign or a light.this has happened to me immediately after at least 3 recent gas fill-ups.i shut off my car and start it up again and after driving a short period, it happens again.this only happens after i pump gas into my vehicle (2006 dodge charger r/t).this has happened on city streets as i am fearful of going on the expressways with the possibility of it stalling and stopping.i believe there is a faulty valve or gas tank situation.
Vehicle stalled in traffic after fueling.
Every time i fill my car up with gas and drive off from the gas station into on comingtraffic 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.
After filling the fuel tank and pulling into traffic the car stalls which is very dangerousconsidering cars approaching or following you could crash into you . This happens each time i fuel up.
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.
I have complained on this vehicle multiple times now.it continues to have a randomly stalling engine while driving.the dealership claims it is not the gas tank.it has finally started causing the check engine light to come on (yay! it might actually get fixed).just kidding!the dealership states that the codes that show up are general pcm codes that mean nothing.from online research, it appears it may be an electrical issue with the pcm, ecm, or numerous other parts.either way, most of us go without cars for weeks while mechanics cannot find the actual cause thus cannot fix a dangerous vehicle.most of us don't want to drive vehicles that stall while going 40 mph.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving 60 mph, the engine would shut off. The eas code indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who found a manufacturer recall pertaining to the fuel tank. The contact did not receive a recall notification. The manufacturer stated that they could not assist since the vehicle was too old. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled after fuel was added to the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to village dodge, inc. (819 ny-66, hudson, ny 12534, (518) 828-1585) and the failure was repaired. The stalling failure had not been resolved. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the vehicle's computer system misread that there was no fuel in the tank. As a result, all the electrical components shut off. The failure mileage was 54,000.
I have had this 2006 dodge charger for a while .now it's been stalling and sometimes shutting off for no reason. Me and my 3 year old grandbaby was at a red light and the light turned green, i started to go car stalled and shut off. No was behind me at the time, so i was trying to get it to start,when i looked up . Saw a truck flying up on us. Thank god no one was beside us or he would of rear ended us. My boyfriend is a mechanic.he has worked for chrysler for over 32 years. He can't seem to find the cause of it. No codes nothing. He can't talking to half of the bus. We replaced throttle body,tcm,pcm and some other things. Still nothing has helped. I have owned two other chargers. This one is a night mare. Please do something. I'm getting to the point i'm scared to drive it.
When fueling the vehicle the gas pump clicks off as if its full and i have to squeeze the pump handle again it puts out about 1/2 gallon at a time, i spend almost 30 minutes to fill my tank, when i called the dealer they knew exactly what i was talking about, and told me to be careful cause it can spit the gas back at you. I have a 2006 dodge charger sxt with 78,000 miles. This should be a recall cause, cause a lot of people was having this problem. Its caused by the fuel filler neck as per dealer
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.
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.
My dodge charger cuts off while driving or while sitting at stop lights. I am able to start up again but then it shuts off at the next stop light or while driving on the interstate. There is no trouble codes or check engine lights.
After fueling the car, it stalls out when i leave the gas station. It has stalled while stopped at a light, during a turn through an intersection and while driving down the highway at speed. After stalling, it starts back up and either stalls again or starts to do a hard stutter/bucking.
Major safety issue. After refueling, my vehicle stalls anywhere from 1-6 times at random times. It happens at highway speeds, and city driving. There is a total loss of power (brakes and steering included) had a very close call of causing an accident due to this issue. This issue is supposedly covered by extended lifetime warranty but my vin is not "eligible" for some reason. In order to fix the issue, the gas tank has to be replaced $1500+ expense. Very disappointed that dodge abandon my here. Even though im experiencing the issue, im not eligible because my vin range missed the lifetime warranty.
The failing component is the same one that only "some" 2006 dodge chargers were covered.even though my failed parts match the failed parts of the recall, i don't qualify because chrysler didn't pick my vin as one to replace.so after filling my vehilce with gas i went to turn and in the middle of the intersection my car shut off and all systems went down, meaning i lost power steering and the engine stalled.it would not restart.four people nearly died, because we were almost hit by a gravel train truck.in the middle of the intersection, and could do nothing..if you win the chrysler vin lotterey, yours gets fixed and if you don't have that vin, too bad for you.so i have a car that has the potential to kill many people because. Of a known safety issue that chrysler fixed on some cars but not all cars.nhtsa allows a huge safety problem as one that impacts the entire operation of the vehicle to still be on the road without the recall applying to it? one second difference and i and 3 occupants would have been dead.one second.no warning lights, no codes,the problem has been seen by every dealer in the usa according to the technicians that looked at my car.they said it's sad that money means more to chrysler than safety. It first started happening just a few weeks ago, i only drive in the summer with this car, so it is low miles also. According to the recall the fuel tank and it's system fail.quote from chrysler " a conditionwhere the fuel shut-off float, in the multifunctioncontrol valve sticks, which may result in the vehicle stalling after fueling."according to the dealer, my part numbers match the recall, just not my vin.
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.
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.
My 2006 charger rt begins to stall out every time after filling up the tank. In fact, anything past 2/3 of a tank will cause this issue. The stall generally happens while at a stop sign or light, when the rpms are low. The only way to continue is to turn the car completely off and restart it while pumping the gas. If i am able to get to the highway and up to speed before stalling out the engine sputters and the rpms dip a couple of times before stabilizing. This only happens ~3-10 minutes after putting gas in the tank.i drive a 2006 dodge charger rt. It just recently passed the 100k mileage after a ~600 mile trip home to see the family. I've had this problem occur many times over the past 1-2 years and i am becoming worried that this may be a common issue. After a bit of research, i've found that this is actually pretty common with 2006 chargers and feel that this is an issue that dodge aught to address. Problems with the gas tank and evap system in this vehicle appear to be a frequent occurrence and can result in very dangerous situations. This has been a minor inconvenience as of yet but i'm concerned that this could cause very serious problems in the future, if they haven't already.
The car would lose all power within a 10th of mile after filling up with gasoline.the car gives no warning signals, but stalls out.this happen also when the fuel tank was a fourth of tank of gas. The car would restart, within minutes after placing it in park.( remind you i am sitting in middle of highway with no tail lights, or flashers)this is a major concern of mine.i was lucky that i did not get rear ended when the car stalled during "rush hour" traffic.the next day, i took the car to the dealership to have the problem checked and fixed. I was informed the fuel tank canister had a valve that was operating incorrectly causing the problem.the fuel tank and canister needed to be replaced.the total cost to me was $1548.00. The cost was high, but the chance of getting into a wreck and causing injuries was worth the price to fix to me.i feel since has been a problem with other 2006 chargers an investigation of the part needs to happen before someone does get killed.
This problem started about a year age. At first it was once ever 3 months now it happening more often. On 1/14/2014 after filling the gas tank the car stalled nearly being rear ended on the expressway. This problem getting worse and worse everytime. This problem is going to take someone's life in an accident.
While merging onto the interstate my engine shut completely off; i lost power steering and all throttle control.after pulling onto the side of the road i was able to turn the ignition on and drive away like normal. I have a 5.7l hemi and the car has 37,700 miles.
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.
Immediately after fueling the vehicle, it stalled after start up while driving in traffic.the vehicle was not topped off, but had a full tank of fuel.this happened on two occasions to date, both occasions the vehicle died at least twice, once the vehicle died while in park and the other incidents were while the car was in gear and moving at a low speed through traffic.
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.
Filled up gas tank, and after leaving the gas station and turning on to exit ramp the car stalled out, and i lost control of the steering. After a few attempts to restart the car started, but stalled multiple times until the fuel level dropped to about 3/4 full. I experienced this same problem a few days later after filling up again. I did some research online and found numerous charger owners experiencing the same issue. I stooped filling up and only fill to about 3/4 full and i haven't experienced the issue again. Today i came across a report on the warranty extension concerning this issue (pe13-016). I called chrysler and was told my vehicle was not included in the warranty extension. I am highly upset and annoyed by this total lack of regard for human life!
1st incident: on october 4, 2013, my car stalled coming to a stop at a red light less than an 1/8th of a mile after leaving a gas station after a fill up. After 3 attempts to start engine, it started up. 1/2 a mile away, the engine dies at the next red light stop. 3-4 attempts to start car, it started. Car ran rough/sputtered on my way to my house 1.5 miles away.2nd incident: on january 10, 2014, my car stalled coming to a stop at a red light 1 mile away from a gas station after filling up. After 4 attempts to start car, the engine fired up. Car ran rough/sputtered for next 2-3 miles.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted immediately and was taken to a mechanic where the contact was advised that the fuel tank may have been the cause of the failure. The vehicle was repaired. The failure recurred several times after the initial repair. The manufacturer was contacted about the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 65,000 and the current mileage was 65,807. The vin was not available.
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.
After filling up gas tank completely my car will die every time, sometimes about 5 minutes after i pull out into traffic.it has been happening for over a year now.i would like to reference pe13-016, dodge/chrysler says i will have to 1800$ to have this fixed and that there is no extended warranty on this faulty setup.
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 havetake 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 average a week. This tells me there is a large issue. To add insult to injury the tank is not cheap or simple or easy to install with an average bill of 1200 -1800 dollars depending on how many components are damaged as a result of the raw fuel entering a closed system.there are many chrysler tsbs concerning this condition,i believe they underestimate the severity of this condition.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. Whether the vehicle was stationary or driving various speeds, it would stall when the fuel tank was filled. Perry chrysler dodge jeep ram in san diego, california was made aware of the failure and stated that there were no complaints or failure codes regarding this issue. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and referred the contact to nhtsa. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
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.
After fueling my 2006 dodge charger r/t, the car will begin to sputter and completely shut-off. This results in the loss of power steering and having to put the car into park in order to restart. It will occurmultiple times, sometimes while idling, before it will begin to act normally.it has been happening for several months. At first, it was sporadic but now it is everytime i fill up the gas tank. It can be very dangerous as it can happen anytime and without warning.
My 2006 dodge charger has developed a stalling issue every time i fill with gas. I have tried different things as far as not filling to the top or not topping it off with gas. I filled with gas along an interstate and when i was trying to get on the interstate it quit on me down the off ramp when i was to merge with traffic. Was able to get car to the side of the interstate and re-start but died again. Started again and then it ran with no issues. Now it has issues every time it is gassed up. I filled up yesterday and same thing died out at a stop sign trying to get on the highway. I have heard this is a big issue with these cars and i'm surprised that therehasn't been anything done to dodge to fix this issue. I've heard it could cost up to $1,500 to fix. I like the car but it is a safety issue to drive it. Please help! thanks
Pe13-016 chrysler is not meeting its obligations.
Vehicle stalls out while driving or sitting at traffic control devices.sometimes after refueling. Mostly at times while driving 55 or 60 mph and while slowing to turn causing the car to lose all powers.check engine light, oil and etc all come on when this happens.this vehicle only has 48,000 original miles.very dangerous while driving with my precious grandbabies in the car.have had to the car to two dodge dealerships and they can not find a problem.i have even replace the computer and it did not correct the performance of the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger xt. The contact stated that the engine would stall sporadically after the vehicle was refueled.the contact inquired about a technical service bulletin (tsb) under nhtsa action number: pe13016 (fuel system, gasoline) however, the extended warranty only covered the vehicle for up to 100,000 miles and the contact had exceeded the mileage. The vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000.
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.
Vehicle stalls after filling up, especially on turns at slow speed. It happened several times intermittently.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact found a recall related to the fuel tank. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the fuel tank was replaced; however, the vehicle began to slow down to approximately 35 mph when reaching high speeds. Additionally, the rpms would continue to increase without the acceleration matching the rpm increase. The contact informed the manufacturer who opened a case on the contact's behalf and informed the contact that there was no recall relating to the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.
Car stalls while driving right after fuel fill up.
After filling the fuel tank and making a left hand turn, the vehicle stumbles and shuts off.while it restarts and seems fine after re-starting, sometimes it takes as long as 5 minutes before it will restart.
After filling gas a check engine light comes on and the vehicle stalls while being stopped at lights. The vehicle has had all emissions components replaced except for the evaporator canister and fuel tank. Unknown as of yet if the vehicle stalls under highway conditions,but close to being hit in the rear when vehicle stalls at traffic lights.
Problem occurred and continues to occur after filling up the gas tank.first instance was in november 2010 and most recently december 2013.car will stall numerous times until some amount of gas is burned off after driving.first instance occurred making a turn in front of a railroad track.other instances have been on a freeway in heavy traffic causing me to have to pull over.car can restart on the first re-attempt or take up to 4 attempts.car will usually stall again seconds later.a workaround is not to fill up the tank all the way (to the auto shutoff of the gas pump) but this doesn't always work.this is with a 2006 dodge charger with a 5.7 liter hemi.chrysler denied the issue back in 2010 although the problem was starting to be documented on the internet at that time.
I am no longer able to fill my gas tank to the full level every time. Very inconvient.
I filled up with gas, pulled out of the gas station onto the expressway on ramp and the engine died.i rolled to the shoulder and after about 10 minutes it would finally start.it stalled a few more times then finally it would run long enough to get me home.
Immediately after a fuel fill up the engine will stall several times in forward or reverse. This will continue until the engine has operated for 4 to 5 minutes. The engine has failed on me several times at intersections and when pulling onto roadways...very dangerous place to stall. There have been many reports made to the nhtsb and dodge forums on this issue. I just had my fuel cannister replaced and the problem remains.
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!
The engine stalls after i fill the fuel tank to its full capacity. This stalling usually occurs within a block or so after leaving the gas station.i then have to sit on the side of the road, or in the middle of the road and wait a few minutes before the engine will re-start.lately, i have not filled the gas tank to its full capacity.i feel this is a real safety issue. I understand that this is a problem with the rollover valve on the top of the fuel tank and the only way to correct this issue is to have the fuel tank replaced.
After filling my gas tank my car stalled on the freeway. The next time i filled my tankmy car stalled twice while driving on side streets. I have been told it is the vapor purge valve. I can only fill my tank partially or i stall. This is very dangerous.
After fuelingup my 2006 dodge charger rt the car will repeatedly stall. This is obviously a very dangerous situation. This happens every time i fill the car with gas.
After refueling, the car stalled upon moderate acceleration. I thought it was a one time issue, but took it to a dodge dealership after the third incident. They could find nothing wrong with the car. After extensive research online, i found that the problem is apparently with a purge solenoid valve that cannot be replaced without the entire gas tank being replaced, as well as the evap canister. The car has been doing this more and more frequently, almost to the point of doing it every fill up. If it doesn't stall when the engine is restarted, it does it randomly within a few minutes of driving. Either while accelerating, or cruising. This is a large safety issue, as my wife drives this car into the city of cincinnati for work, and the car has stalled after she refuels. We are not leaving the engine running during refueling, and we are not topping off the tank. I have done research online and it appears to be happening to several people. This problem has occurred sporadically on multiple occasions, and i have barely avoided crashing a few times when the car stalled while i was turning.the car is a 2006 dodge charger r/t with the 5.7l hemi engine.
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
I have had this issue happen about five times. After filling up my car with gas (i do not overfill), i notice that my car will all of the sudden turn off. This has happened in the middle of an intersection and on the highway. I feel very anxious and scared when i drive now because of this issue. After discovering online that many other 2006 dodge chargers have experienced the same issue, i am hoping there is an honest solution out there. Chrysler/dodge have not responded to any of my correspondence, with the exception of an automated response.from here on out, i will be forced to only fill my car with half a tank of gas. Please advise if any other information/description is needed. Hope to see some action soon.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
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.
After refueling, the car stalls at speed.this pretty much now happens after every fill up.the car always restarts, but usually happens 2-4 times after initially refueling. The danger is, it sometimes happens at speed, the car quickly decelerates in traffic making it dangerous.many times we have had to pull off the road in traffic to restart.
-the sunroof will not always close all the way. It will reopen itself upon exiting-my car stalls often whenever i accelerate, it seems the gas has to "catch up" this uncomfortable/unsafe.) home. Also, it is embarrassing for my car to 'conk out'.- i am currently broken down due to the fuel pumps' incorrect assertions of gas.disappointed andneed assistance to repair said issues. Thank you
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.
Car shut off after fill up
After filling the car with gas (full tank), and leaving the station, the car shuts completely off.
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
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.
I filled up with gas in california when on vacation. I pulled out of the gas station and onto the freeway. About a minute after merging and getting up to speed the entire car shut off. No power, no power steering, completely died.i had to merge through two lanes of highway traffic at highway speeds to get out of the flow of traffic. Car was able to restart after putting it in park and waiting several minutes.huge safety concern having the vehicle completely shut off on me. I have had four other instances of this happen to me. The other times i was on side streets or in the parking lot waiting for the car to die.
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.
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.
After filling the gas tank up car stalls within minuteson busy highway interstate and it fluids out where you are stuck in traffici've had plenty ofmechanicsto look at the far and they cant detect the problemi need someassistance with thisissueare i'mgonna end up causing a bad wreck with the issue of my car pleasecontact me[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
After fueling my vehicle, i was traveling at approximately 20 mph around a corner and the vehicle stalled and died. Once the engine died, i was unable to steer and had to hard break to avoid going into the other lane of traffic and narrowly avoided missing the oncoming vehicle in the other lane. Once i was stopped i attempted to restart the vehicle, it continued to stall three more times when i attempted to put the vehicle in drive. I was stuck in the middle of the road, on a corner with little visibility. I was finally able to restart the vehicle on the fourth attempt. I was able to drive a couple miles till i stopped at a traffic light. The vehicle stalled and died again right as the light turned green. I again had to restart the vehicle three times before it would stay running. There were multiple vehicles behind me at the light, thankfully they had come to a stop before i stalled. This has happened in the past, but it is getting worse and i no longer feel it is safe to drive. I have taken it to the dealer and was informed that there is a known issue with the fuel system. The cost for this repair is over $2,000 and there is no manufacturers recall at this point. It is my opinion that this is not a wear item, it is a manufacturing defect. This is my family car, and i do not feel safe driving with my children as there is a great risk to their safety.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving 50 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, the contact mentioned that the vehicle failed to accelerate when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was able to restart. The failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed, but the cause of the failure could not be determined. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
After refueling vehicle, engine stalled while making left hand turn in front of oncoming traffic, leaving me stuck in middle of intersection. Engine will stall coming to a stop, accelerating from a stop,turning corners, and a couple times while just driving down the road. When you restart motor, transmission will not reengage right away. Doesn't seem to happen if you keep fuel level below 14 gallons. Dodge dealership has said it might be a valve on top of fuel tank. Been happening for a while but seems to be getting worse.
Pe13-016, this issue applies to my charger r/t and anytime i fill up my gas tank the car will stall at any speed.i've had this happen at any speed from the low speeds mentioned to as high as 45 when i was accelerating and i had sloshed the gas tank.anyway, i have talked with multiple dodge dealerships and they have all told me that they have no idea what i'm talking about and that they have nothing in their system that would show them my car was affected.i feel that this is crazy and needs to be corrected.i have a car that will kill itself after any fillup and i can't get the manufacturer to own up to what they promised.
My car has a constant smell of exhaust fumes in the cabin. This odor is most prevalent when you first start the car and remains.the odor is strongest when the car is started and the ac is on, the odor is made worse by switching the ac selector to pull in air from outside the vehicle. This greatly concerns me because i dont want to be engaging deadly methane fumes.dodge told me they would diagnose the issue for 130 but i feel a safety risk such as this should be examined free of charge by the manufacturer before some is poisoned or dies
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.
5.7l hemi engine. For the past 2 yrs, engine will stall after filling-up the gas tank. This doesn't happen after every fill-up, but occurs at random fill-up intervals.the engine will stall multiple times until it's burnedoff approximately 1 gallon of gas, then operates normally.stalling mostly occurs when vehicle comes to a stop. However, i've had several instances when the stall occurred on the highway at 60 mph.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving 10 mph immediately after refueling, the vehicle stalled with the illumination of the oil warning lamp. The failure was recurring whenever the vehicle was refueled. The vehicle was taken to a independent mechanic, who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 61,000.
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!!!
Recently, upon filling up my vehicle (i never top off and only fill to the click) i merged on to the interstate. At approximately 70 mph i noticed my car begin to sputter and rapidly degrease in speed. I pulled off to the shoulder and my car stalled several times until i finally got it running properly. Ever since this incident my car will stall several times after every fill up, whether i put 15 gallons in or 5 gallons in. This forces me to fill up in either rural areas or late at night so that i do not put myself or others at risk. This seems to be a common problem with many chargers, magnums, and 300cs. This problem needs to be resolved before someone gets killed.
Engine stalls after refueling. Usually at idle but has stalled while moving rendering power steering inoperative. Common to pe 13-016 nhtsa.
When i fill up with fuel i can make it out of the parking lot and to the intersection an the car will die. And then it won't start for a while and it spits and sputters.
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 fuelupon acceleration causes the engine to stall and lose effected drive systems.this is ludicrous from chrysler how many deaths has this caused!?!?
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.
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 contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.the contact stated that the vehicle stalled continuously after the vehicle was refueled.the failure recurred intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who has not diagnosed the problem. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 140,000.
After refueling, car tends to stall, or not axcelarate properly. Causing multiple problems without power..
At 105000 miles i noticed this for the first time in september 2015 after filling it the car repeatedly stalled while in traffic, at a stop light and while going around a turn at slow speeds.once the tank was around 3/4 full i noticed it stopping.it restarted, but causedme to stop in traffic and wait a second to put in n or p to restart and then back into gear.this is a real safety hazard and surprised it hasn't elevated to a recall.i thought it was bad fuel - the first time this happened, 2 fill ups later it still occurred leaving no check engine light for me to trouble shoot.that lead me to the internet and i found investigation pe 13-016 which sounds exactly what my issue is.i called the dealer to set up an appointment to get the recalled airbag fixed.i asked them to remedy this concurrently but they acted real stupid on the phone - i wanted to make sure the parts were on hand to fix it at this time.i hope they honor the extended warranty as i am the only owner and don't remember getting the letter sent to me on this matter.i am curious from this repair what they will not cover and if they will overcharge for other items that "they find".i am not exactly sure what they are covering under this extended warranty?
After filling tank with fuel, car stalls and dies several times due to flooding. Web search reveals this is a very common problem and only solution to fully resolve is to replace fuel tank with associated equipment. If this problem is as pervasive as it seems, then an investigation should be initiated and a recall begun. A car dying repeatedly in traffic is a very bad thing.
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).
After fiilling the gas tank of the 2006 dodge charger r/t the charger has stalled numerous times after leaving the gas station. The charger would restart. This is a vehicle safety issue.the 2006 dodge charger r/t has also stalled out on highway on ramps a couple of times. The charger would restart but the cars behind were not very happy. This is also traffic safety problem.
Vehicle engine stalled while driving in on going traffic many times most times after refueling having a hard time to get it started again.
1-fuel system after filling up will choke itself out at slow speeds or idling-2-engine cuts out going 40-80 mph jerks and cuts off and back on sometimes engine light comes on and other times not 3- issues with turning car completely off have to put back into gear then park again to turn off4- at times when putting into park my brake light comes on.i thought i did good on this car but now i'm beginning to think i'm in over my head all of this happens on average every other day. One or all things happen intermediate.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the power steering assist failed followed by the vehicle stalling. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the fuel tank would need to be replaced.the manufacturer was notified and they offered to cover seventy-five percent of the repair cost. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 75,000 and the current mileage was 102,000.
I filled a complaint back in 2/02/12 nhtsa id # 10446316. Look at that complaint. Dodge has a problem with there fuel tanks that allows gas into the evap system, causing raw fuel to be sucked into the motor through the evap purge solenoid after a fill up. I did receive a call from a third party on behalf of dodge. But there solution to the problem could have ended up costing me close to a $1000.00 dollars. I was not willing to take a chance and be on the hook for that. I simply asked that if the gas tank was the problem what would dodge do about it, to which i was told we cannot say. The wanted my commitment but would offer none on there end. I even talked to the local dodge dealership and from my conversation with the service department i really felt that they had no idea how an evap system works, they only wanted to try parts on it not find the root cause, and i felt like this would have been done at my expense. Therefore we learned to live with this problem. No i see that there has been a finding where dodge acknowledges that there is a problem with some tanks in chargers. My complaint was specific about what was happening (fuel getting into the purge solenoid after fill ups and motor stalling because of it). I felt that i should have been contacted about this after the findings since my complaint was dead on about this issue. Not only do i feel that dodge has dropped the ball but your organization as well.
Car stutters and shuts off after i fuel up my 19gal gas tank. Car turns off when idle after fueling up. Did see that for my make and model and year of car there were warranties extended for gas tank to be replaced with the same issue, never received a recall for my vehicle. And dealership will not touch my gas tank.
When trying to fuel the car, the pump continually clicks off like the tank is full. Will also spit fuel back out while pumping (no matter how slow you try to pump). I don't see how this isn't a safety issue.
Notice fuel smell in my garage. Took to mechanic and found gas tank strap has punctured fuel tank on passenger side of vehicle. Upon inspection found that gas tank strap is missing foam insulation between tank and strap. This vehicle is not driven in winter so it is very clear that this foam was not installed at factory. I have contacted chrysler to see if they will repair vehicle since it is out of warranty. Looking up on internet there are pages of gas fumes from dodge chargers. This is a safety hazard since gas fumes are highly flammable.
Takata inflators.when i fill the tank with gas and start driving it will sputter, jerk and stall.when it stalls and i finally get it started, i press on the gas lightly it doesn't move and then it lunges forward.this just started in the last month, but it now happens every time i fill the tank for about the first 20-30 miles driven.i've read that his is an issue with these cars.i also see the warranty has been extended to many vehicles regarding this issue but on this particular car there is no recall for this vin.the car has 57500 miles on it.
After refueling my vehicle stalled in motion on a highway
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 5 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact was able to restart the vehicle, which was taken to an independent mechanic. The mechanic replaced the spark plugs, cleaned the throttle body, replaced the plugs for the power control module, and changed the fuel pump relay. The failure recurred after the repairs were performed.the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.
After filling up gas tank (not topping off at all) the car will stall randomly for about 15 minutes after fill up even while driving at higher speeds. Very dangerous. Steering is lost and even when restarting it takes a second for the transmission to engage when putting the car in drive. This has been happening with my vehicle for about a year now.
For the past couple of months when i fill up or top off in gas, as soon as i start to drive the car eithe stalls or completely cut not while driving. I'm bieber has happened while in the highway after fueling up as well as on the city streets. Due this malfunction, i havealmost been rear ended.
After fuel up, car stalls.this is very unsafe as i was turning in front of on-coming traffic and car stalls and car just stops.was able to have cars avoid hitting me and eventually started car again - only to have it stall once again.car only has 30,000 miles on it for a 10 year car - this is a limited edition daytona.very unhappy to find out about the number of complaints and dodge hasn't done anything to remedy this 'manufacturer failure'!seriously considering selling this vehicle and swearing off all dodge makes in the future.......have been a loyal dodge consumer since the 70's!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the fuel tank could only be partially filled due to a leak. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Our problem still has not been fixed.the car continues to "die in flight."i have uploaded a video to youtube.https://youtu.be/ssawxdfdswathis occurred while attempting to merge onto the interstate.the rpms jump up and down.the oil light and the electronic throttle control light flash and ding.the check engine light came on.this is going to cause an accident and the dealership says there is nothing wrong with the car.
Every time i get gas and start the engine, it jerks and dies after driving a few hundred feet. I start it again and it keeps doing the same thing repeatedly. I'm afraid to pull into traffic because i don't know when it's going to just stop running. I feel this is a very unsafe situation. It has been going on for about 2 years now. Last night was the most recent occurrence.
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.
After refueling vehicle it will stall at low steeds. Sometimes it will stall at a stop and others when making a turn it will completely shut off. This has been ongoing for the past 3 years so it mostly the car sits in the garage.
Car shuts off after refueling.
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!!!
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.
Car locked in park in the driveway. While driving in the rain all the dash lights flickered for 2-3 seconds then all lights and gauges shut down this included the headlights as well. While driving 55 miles per hour the car shut itself off i was in heavy traffic at the time. Car is now at the dealership again they cannot find the problem. I still have the same problems with dash lights flickering and the car stopping. Don't know if anyone else is having this problem but the car will also surge forward at a high rate of speed like i have stepped on the gas but my foot would be on the brake. This has happened several times and it scares me to death. These are safety issues that need to be corrected by the manufacture. Dealerships are aware of these issues and have done nothing to correct the problems. This will be the last dodge i purchase even though i like to buy american made. An investigation should be done with so many complaints. I will be calling detroit with these issues.
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.
Filled up fuel tank and let the nozzle click.left the gas station, stopped at a light, car stalled. No indicator lights appeared. Restarted easily, and i was driving through the intersection, and at about 15mph, car stalled again and restarted quickly. I pulled off the road, sat for awhile with the car running with no further stalling.contacted a mechanic, and was informed that a valve in the evap canister located within the gas tank will get stuck, allowing raw fuel to enter the system, giving a false reading to the ecm, indicating the car is running too rich, and will adjust, causing the car to stall.had to replace the fuel tank(as the evap valve is integrated within the tank), and have had no further problems since.seems to be a serious safety concern, since there is no indication that car is about to stall and no way to determine that you need to move to safety, especially if you were entering traffic onto a fast moving freeway.
Shortly after fill up the car will die. This has happened multiple times after filling up and it has happened after multiple fill ups. The car will start moving and i will begin driving when the car dies and i lose power steering. I took it to a mechanic and they said that it is a known safety issue with 2006 dodge chargers. The fuel tank and the evap canister needs to be replaced.
So my car began to stall after filling it up with gas. Most of the time it stalled while stopped. A few times while in motion. Since the car dies i have lost power steering.
Within blocks of leaving a fuel station and filling with fuel the vehicle stumbled then the engine died while traveling 35 mph on a city stream in the rain. Car was difficult to stop because of no power steering or power brakes.
After refueling car intermittently began stalling and ultimately died upon coming to a stop. Engine did restart but continued to stall and until destination reached approximately 6 miles. No further incidents until roughly two months later when exactly the same problem occurred under same circumstances. Had just refueled and engine stalled repeatedly at speeds of up to 60mph then died when stopped at stop sign. Engine restarted and continued to stall until residence reached.
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.
After fueling gas tank to full level the car starts and runs fine for approximately two blocks down the street then the engine abruptly shuts off and stalls in traffic (dangerous). The vehicle requires restarting twice more before it will run normally. This happens every time the gas tank is fully filled. No problem if the tank is filled less than full. This has occurred the last three times gas tank was fully fueled. 2006 dodge charger srt8 6.1l hemi.
I been online looking for this kinda problem and it looks like everyone has this problem but there is not recall and this is extremely dangerous, can whenever you fill up the tank and the level from the gas shuts off on it's own, meaning not overfilling. The car stalls at lot in low rpms and hesitates alot, car shuts off and steering wheel lock making this extremely dangerous, tank is 19 gallos, once you waste 1-2 gallos of gas everything goes back to normal, have change already purge valve in front of the car, also the evap leak detection pump and nothing, everyoneonline has this problem and no one has a fixed. No engine lights comes on, sometimes a misfire, changed map sensor, camshaft sensor, crank sensor, mass airflow sensor, spark plugs wires, injectors and plugs and still the same. When i run torque app from android store it says evap cap off on red, like that test it never pass. Something with gas related i guess
I was driving right after filling up my gas tank i stop at a red light and i feel my car kick so i go the back way home as i slow down for a speed bump my car completely shuts off i've did some reading and this happens a lot with the 2006 chargers a lot.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. When the contact filled the fuel tank using the automatic shut off, the vehicle would stall or shut off with the oil warning light illuminated. The vehicle was able to restart. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The failure continued to occur intermittently. The approximate failure mileage was 93,000.
I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times to have issues fixed.each time i got the car back, it was worse.i had 13 issues originally with the car.i ended up suing, and got a very small settlement- dodge refused to cooperate.i still have each and every problem, and do not know what else to do.my car dies while in reverse, the brakes malfunction constantly, the window panel remains broken due to their inept work, the radio cuts off, the dash lights die @ night, etc.i would truly appreciate it if someone could actually help me.i do not know what else to do.i love my car dearly, but something needs to be done.the date i put as date of incident is when this all started.
Dashboard guage so and headlights lose power.
Theres seems to be a short in the electrical system which cause the instrument cluster to completely shut down and light to flicker when driving. Usually happens when car heater is on or driving for a long period of time. Dealer will not acknowledge issue very known problem on the internet boards with charger owners.
My 2006 dodge charge keeps getting stuck in park and the pink release does not work either, i have to slide a steel wire all the way to the left in order to get it to give. There are a million forums and complaints based off of this exact issue and yet no recall because its not a safety issue? maybe not but it is obviously defective. My warranty is up and cant afford to fix the issue so i have to do this everytime i get into my car. How many complaints and forums need to go up before they make a recall for the defective part?
I am about to file a lemon law complaint because dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 dodge charger r/t, since day four of my ownership.i have owned this car for 68 days and of those, i have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days.they have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate".the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission.of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks.i happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car.additionally, i have taken my car to two different mechanics (one dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions.i would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution.

I have a dodge charger rt 06. I took it to the dealership a year ago to replace a part on the front end. There was a noise coming from the front end. Now recently, i almost got into an accident because brakes almost didn't stop me in time and i wasn't speeding. Before all of this, when i speed up, the front end and steering wheel shakes or wobbles and this has me worried. If by chance i encounter bad weather, because i do live in michigan, i hope something on the charger doesn't fail when i need it the most. To of my friends have also experience problems with 300 c's and chargers.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the there was an abnormal noise coming from the brakes and there was an abnormal smell near the tie rod. In addition, the vehicle could not be shifted out of park. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tie rod needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,300.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the transmission shift lever failed to move out of park. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 136,000.
Vehicle was parked in drivieway, partially blocking in other vehicles in garage, and automatic transmission shifter could not be moved out of park on the morning of 6/29/17, stranding vehicle from being moved by owner.i then looked online using google search and found problem listed under chrysler recall of some 2005-2007 charger/magnum/300 models, and found instructions on how to temporarily insert screwdriver into side oftransmission shift lever assembly by removing one piece of trim, and was able to then drive over to darcars chrysler/jeep/dodge rockville, maryland dealership to drop for recall repair.i left vehicle and then was told by service dept staff next day on 6/30/17 that my vin number was not part of recall, and would cost me $510 out of pocket to replace the entire transmission shifter assembly rather than replace the small cheap plastic known chrysler defect that has probably already happened to thousands of chargers/magnums/300s.lucky for me this did not happen in an emergency situaiton where i needed to move my car immediately to go to hospital, or avoid a flash fllood, hurricane, or tornado or the problem could have resulted in a total loss of the vehicle and possible injury or loss of life.in addition, i did more research and found the $16 part online needed to fix the problem, along with many videos on how to fix it yourself, and ordered it on 6/30/17 and had the car repaired myself at home on 7/2/17 a few hours after receiving the part in the mail. Chrysler should make this a recall for all affectred vehicles because the cost to repair it in parts and labor is very cheap, since i estimate they could do the same job in about 30 minutes and the part would only cost them maybe under $5.see attached recall and $16 part cost when ordered on amazon.
Car would not shift out of park - researched issue online to find this is a common problem with chrysler/dodge products that the shift interlock mechanism fails and the car becomes undriveable as it will not shift out of park.took apart shift console to manually move mechanism out of park and get it to the dealership for repair.dealer confirms shift interlock mechanism was at fault.contacted dodge - although there have been numerous recalls for this same issue with other dodge/chryslermodels/years - the 2006 charger is not "officially on the recall list", so i had to pay for the faulty mechanism replacement out of pocket.
April 6th 2011:after leaving work & getting into my 2006 dodge charger sxt,which was parked in the employee parking lot,i started the vehicle & stepped on the brake to engage the shifter,unfortunately the car would not go into the drive position. After many attempts to shift the vehicle into drive,even doing the bypass method as stated in the owners manual,it still would not engage,finally i called road side service & had the car towed to a nearby dodge dealership which had informed me that the shifter had to be replaced. I was working out of state @ the time,staying in a motel so this added expense really stretched my budget:$461.04 out of pocket!!
1. After filling the tank the car is subject to engine shutting off periodically. 2. Car isstuck in park and cannot be gotten out of park
I was ready to leave work for the night and my car would not shift out of park we tried to use the emergency release button on the side of the gear shift but it didn't work.i called a mechanic and he came out googled the problem and saw that it may have been a shifter assembly defect,as he looked at the assembly there was noted to b a cable wire the was also dislodged,he advised me to have the car towed to a dodge dealer for repair.the car was taken to the dealership and the entire shifter assembly and cable had to be installed.
Car stalls out at low speeds or when at light. Consistent with other problems raised concerning these vehicles.
Drivetrain problemsmaking noise is there a recall need help sometimes when i drive it kicks the gear
Approximately around may 2010 the vehicle began randomly stalling. When it first began it was very infrequent, about once every 25 days, but it progressively got worse and worse. It is nowat the point where it will stall every 5 to 15 minutes.the vehicle stalls when slowing/approaching a stop or stopped or when doing low speed maneuvering. It will occasionally stall when accelerating from a stopped position as well. The electronic throttle control light comes on when it stalls. The vehicle will generally restart without much problem. The symptoms are identical to the symptoms descibed involving the 2005 dodge durango(nhtsa defect investigation #ea05018 and investigation #pe05027).
My vehicle shuts off at random times.while i am sitting at a red light it will shut off or while i am waiting for the car to warm up.when i take off the engine will shut off for a brief second. The engine starts up and the car will jerk forward.sometimes when the vehicle shuts off it wont go back into gear and some of the gauges flash.i was left in the middle of an intersection twice when the vehicle shut off.i have taken the vehicle to transmission shops and dealerships and they can't tell me what is wrong with the vehicle.
1.multi cylinder misfires, resulting in the inability to accelerate, rough idle and engine failure. 2. Approximately every 4 to 6 weeks and 3 times over the last 2 weeks.3. Service to the vehicle 10 times, replacing shift module,valve keepers, combustion chamber cleaning (twice), cam seal,rocker arm, both exh., rocker rails and pedestals.
My dodge charger will not shift out of park.some (not all) chargers have been recalled for this issue.upon searching online, it is a known problem and chrysler addressed some customers via chrysler customer satisfaction notification k39.it states that "some 2005 through 2007 model year dodge charger, magnum, and chrysler 300 equipped with a floor shifter" are affected.the transmission gear shift level interlock spring hook on your vehicle may break.a broken interlock return spring hook will result in the inability to move the gear shift lever out of the park position."this is a safety defect because if this vehicle was to stall and the driver put it into park to restart, the vehicle would be unable to go back into drive. It is a plastic piece that needs to be replaced but chrysler is charging $375 because the entire shift assembly needs to be taken apart to address.it is unfortunate that chrysler has recognized this defect on some chargers but will not cover the repair on my vehicle for the exact same issue.my car is the same year as some of the cars impacted by the recall.
2006 charger would not shift out of park. Called aaa, they said they've had many simular calls about dodge chargers. Tow company driver said he's had several calls about this and knew how to temporarly get the car out of park. Dodge dealer said that i had to get the whole shifter assembly replaced and it would cost between $500 & $600. Found a repairman that replaced only the broken part. It was the shifter interlock that was made of plastic. The after-market part he replaced with was made of metal. If the dealer would have replaced the whole shifter assembly it would have had the same defective plastic part. Why doesn't dodge do a recall on this?
Recently i started having an issue with my charger. Upon entering a high way and attempting to merge with traffic during morning rush hour, my car lost all power upon acceleration. The engine did not stall but the tachometer dropped to near zero, the engine light and power light flashed briefly and then returned to normal. I attempted to accelerate again and same thing happened. Fortunately i was able to avoid a pretty significant accident with thecars behind me and the ones i was merging on to the highway with. The symptoms disappeared for a few weeks and then started again and progressively became worse. I brought the car to the dealer that investigated and found it to be the power control module which turned out to be quite expensive. I did some research on a forum that i belong to and found many instances of this. Contacted chrysler and simply put they did not seem to care. There are many defects on this year of charger and not one of them has ever been covered, at least the ones that i have. I consider this latest incident to be serious safety problem and hope that it gets investigated. As for another chrysler product, never again in my lifetime. I rely on my vehicle for work and this is by far the worst that i have ever owned. Please look into this before someone has to start checking off accident and death when submitting a form.
While driving the vehicle the engine will unexpectedly stop.the event has happened several times.often it occurs after fueling.the vehicle has been into a garage for repair but the problem continues.sometimes when the event occurs the only way to restart the vehicle is to place the vehicle in park, press the accelerator all the way to the floor and turn on the ignition.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact attempted to shift into park to shut off the vehicle but the shifter would not respond. The contact was able to shift into neutral and applied the emergency brake in order to shut the vehicle off. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostics. The contact referenced nhtsa campaign id number: 05v460000 (power train: automatic transmission) but was advised ny the manufacturer that the vin was not included in the recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 75,000.
This isn't the 1st time that the engine has stalled after filling the fuel tank.most recent episode happened as i was preparing to enter the gas stations drive-thru car wash...i had my foot on the brake to enter the code for the wash and just as i started to move forward the engine stalled.happened a couple of months ago on the public right of way, i was stoppedat a red light (just after a fuel up and just before i was about to enter the freeway).another time i was in motion and it stalled in the middle of a busy intersection.the stalling affects the transmission.the engine is warm when this occurs.it takes about 3 attempts to successfully restart.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while the vehicle was shifted into reverse, the gear failed. The vehicle was towed to the dealer who performed a diagnostic that located the failure at the gear shifter. The dealer replaced the shifter assembly. The failure mileage was 69,682 and the current mileage was 69,683.
Started the car, put my foot on the brake and proceeded to shift the gear into drive. My gear shift would not move out of park after multiple attempts, force and effort. Called aaa and when the aaa driver came i explained to him that my gear shift would not come out of park. The driver explained to me that he gets over 100 calls a week for this problem. The driver removed the top off of my gear case and showed me how to release the cable to get the gear shift to come out of park. I found out that there is a recall for this problem. I took my car to the dealership only to find out that my car's vin # is not included in this recall. It is an insult and depressing that such an astronomical number of chrysler vehicles are experiencing this problem, however only a certain number of vehicles are recognized as being under the recall. This has to be changed. What do customers have to do to get customer satisfaction? customers are the ones supporting and buying chrysler cars. Makes you want to take your business elsewhere and vow not to buy another chrysler car again!
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.chrysler they say car is not part of the ones that they will fix the shifter on.am mad enough over a 69 cent pink plastic part to want to stick this car up [xxx] in customer cares rear.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
I was driving my vehicle and it started smoking i pulled over . Called mechanic had it towed to the shop where he later told me the motor was blown . Second incident there's a beeping sound and all my gauges keeping going crazy on me .third incident that pink piece inside the gear shift actual was stuck and came lose so it was removed and the car is able to be put into gear .
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the gear shifter failed to move out of park. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the transmission shifter interlock lever failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 148,000.
When engaged in park, will not disengage, even with use of emergency release detent.will only release with use of hidden release at front of shifter, and if reengaged into park, will reoccur.
I got off work started car put on seat belt. Put foot on brake and tried to move gear shift it wouldnt move out of park. There are so many complaints of this issue.
While waiting at stop lights, car idles fine. The moment the light turns green and i release the brake to step on the gas pedal the car stalls. This has happened up to 4 times in one day. Happened only once today 3/6/2014.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While the vehicle was stationary, the gear shifter became stuck in the park position. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was 115,000.
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.
While driving on the highway in traffic at approximately 70 mph the car stalled with no check engine light or engine misfire/stuttering.the stall was as if the key was turned to the off position.the car coasted to the side of the road, restart was attempted and the car started perfectly, i continued to drive.the car stalled again after a few miles, restarted and it stalled again - this continued, each time with the time driven being less.all this time the check engine light did not illuminate.i finally made it to a shop where the car was diagnosed and the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor was replaced.this did not solve the stalling issue.the car will have the pcm replaced in hope that this will solve the problem.this is a very unsafe failure especially when traveling at high speeds - the car loses all power and is very difficult to move into the shoulder when it stalls (no power steering).this is a very serious safety concern that can be catastrophic.
2006 dodge charger was driving fine yesterday, parked the car, next morning went to start car and started but would not move out of park.towed car to dealer and found shifter assembly had a broken part - for a part to break while being parked and after doing research it is a common complaint for the dodge charger, what happens if this breaks while you are driving?big safety issue then.
This problem started about a month age. After filling the gas tank the car stalls repeatedly nearly causing my family and i to be rear ended on the expressway killing all of us. This problem is continuous. Every time we fill up the vehicle it stalls numerous time putting us and everyone else on the roadway in danger.
Vehicle began to misfire and then stalled approximately 1/4 mile after filling fuel tank.this has happened multiple times and is occurring more frequently.this is a serious safety issue since vehicle stopped in the middle of an intersection and almost caused an accident.was able to restart the car and continue to destination.online forums attribute the cause to a faulty vapor purge valve/evap canister and requires fuel tank replacement.

I have a 2006 dodge charger rt 5.7l hemi. I just recently purchased this car. At times when i am accelerating quickly or press wide open throttle the vehicle shuts off for a second and then cuts right back on. The check engine light comes on as well as the lightning bolt icon flashes and i also hear a chime as well. The rpms drop all the way to zero as if it is stalling and losing all power but immediately cuts right back on. Through research i have noticed this is an on-going problem with a lot of charger owners and a recall should have been issued by dodge by now before someone loses their life.

My car will not accelerate over 40mph. I went to the mechanics and it said that the transmission computer isn't functioning correctly. I looked up this issue online and this is an ongoing issue with these cars. I contacted dodge they said since there is no recall then they can't do anything.
While attempting to accelerate the car will fail hesitate in the 5.7l hemi.also the check engine light flashes and the notification sounds beeps.check engine light does not remain on.failure to accelerate in any circumstances can result in collision including serious bodily injury or death.upon doing research (you can google this easily) this is a common problem associated with the powertrain control module which dodge has refused to acknowledge.this defective part/programming is most definitely not general wear and tear and should be a mandated recall prior to injury/death.
I pulled over on the side of the road to pick up something that had fallen into the floor and put my car in park.the when i started to put the car back in drive the gear shift was locked and would not move.there was no indication that this was about to happen. I was out on the side of the road alone and my car wouldn't go into drive or even leave park.since it was sunday and dodge dealers are closed.its hot outside so i had to call someone that works on automobiles.they came out and found that the safety neutral switch which is made of plastic parts mainly was broken/no longer working.i needed to move my car, so he took all these pieces out of the shifter so that i could drive the car home, and to the dealer to be fixed.the car was in park i know, but i couldn't been in a place that i needed to rely on my car moving for my safety or my little girls safety and it give no warning.this thing just locked into park, and you are stuck where ever it may be, a safe place or unsafe place.

As i was driving across the desert on i-10 in arizona,all of a sudden my car lost all engine power.the lights on the dash chimed, my rpms dropped to zero, then just as suddenly they all went right back to normal and the engine jerked us forward as the tranny figured out what gear it belonged in.it started like that, only happening on occasion.now, i can't make it more than 1-2 miles (literally) without stalling out or losing engine fire.if it happens when i'm at a low mph the car just stalls out and died.no power steering or brakes, but the lights and radio are working.on the hwy at higher speeds, it lurches as described above.on the on-ramp, however, it becomes a life or death situation, especially when starting on a downhill ramp with a big rig wailing up behind me.i have been missed by truly only inches on multipleoccasions.i can't afford a new car, they can't find what's wrong with mine, and i can't sell a vehicle that won't make it for a test drive.can we please get a fix?answers?wasn't it my tax dollars that bought this company out of bankruptcy?
Gear shifter was put in park would not come out of park could not put it in gear, 2007 and 2008 has been recalled for that problem and service has been accommodated at dealership.
Random stalls at low rpm. Sometimes is park but mostly at rest in drive. Yesterday it stalled while moving.
I was going down the high way and the car just shut off and then came back on like nothing happen they really need to recall this and it a hemi 5.7 daytona.
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.
I have a 2006 dodge charger r/t hemi. I have had this car for 5 1/2 years. It only has about 47,000, don't drive it much, but it has start giving me problems. Today, i almost got rear ended by a semi truck because my car shut off at the red light and the light turned green and the car would not go into gear.this was on the way back to the shop.. I took it to the shop last month on march 7, 2012, to have it fixed, they put it on the diagnostic machine and supposed to had found the problem they said it was wires and other thing around the tcm.they claimed to have fixed the problem but didn't. Out of my pocket $241.00. This is what it was and is still doing: driving along at about 40-45 mph and you hear a ding sound and it jerks and the lighten bolt light flashes in the control panel on the dash the rpm gauge will drop and it acts as if it's going to shut off. Within a 20 mile radius it did this 8 times. It then shut off on my twice at a red light, the engine light, oil and the lighten bolt light came on. And once approaching the red light i punched the gas and it took off. Just afternoon the dealership called and told me that it was my tcm wanting to charge me another 600 + dollars to fix it.this is the same problems that was suppose to have been fixed last month at the dealership and i am really p.... That they are turning to charge me again for something that they had claim to have already fixed. I am on a fixed income with a family and i don't have that kind of money laying around. I noticed a few months or even a year ago, i was leaking transmission fluid and they claimed they replaced an o-ring or some kind of plug. I see now there was a recall on something similar to this and i was charged for it. I have never received recall notices in the mail about my vehicle and now i am reading these recalls and there are 3 that i was not aware of and that worries me.
The shifter selector is stuck in the "park" position. A small plastic part breaks underneath the shift selector causing the malfunction. This is a common problem on chrysler 300, dodge magnum, and charger. A recall was issued only on some 2005-2007 models. It is the same problem for all of these cars yet why is only some vins covered? there is various aftermarket replacements made of metal as the original should have been since it is a vital component. This is a flawed design made of week material. This should be repaired free of charge, but dodge doesn't want to take care of this problem.

Cannot shift vehicle out of park.
I have a 2006 dodge charger. When i first bought it, i had to take it back to the dealer 13 separate times for issues. They were never resolved fully. The dealer actually broke the window controls on the drivers side in front of me, and tried to tell me it was already like that.... Luckily, he was seen, and was dealt with. The newest issue, which i see via online research a lot of people are having is the shift kit. The park lock mechanism broke, and i could not get it out of park. We've removed the console, and every day, i have to push the broken piece of plastic down in order to get the car in gear. The dealer wants $450 to fix this, and i will not pay it. Hundreds of complaints have been filed. No action has been taken. The piece that broke is a pathetic bright pink piece of plastic that is as cheap as a toy from the dollar store, and i am not exaggerating. It's pathetic. It's unsafe, it's not right, and something needs to be done. Asap. I cannot believe that no one has issued a recall or safety call on this. There are several very reputable websites that sell the cheap piece that's broken because hundreds and hundreds of people are reporting this broken. Something is very wrong here. Funny'the piece i'm referring to costs $49.99 to replace, and is made out of metal. Dodge replaces it with the same plastic, which breaks a year later. And, they charge $450 to do it, as they replace the entire shift kit. Sad. I've contacted the website several times, and they provided a lot of help. Dodge; none.
Car will not shift out of park when pressing the break without pressing the pink switch inside the gear shift. Similar recall on other cars, but not my vin. Have to drive with the gear shift apart so i can shift out of park. The pink switch is broken. $400 repair required. Just lucky it broke in the driveway and not when my family was on a trip 2 hours from home.

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!

My 2006 dodge charger hemi police interceptor i purchased from the state of oregon at 137,000 randomly dies.the lightning bolt warning light comes on.the electronic throttle control code comes on.the car has been to the dealer and the pcm $750 has been replaced and the plugs $350 have been replaced as well.i also get tcm codes.my car has died at very dangerous times, when passing or merging into traffic.the dealer doesn't know what's causing it.
My car has stalled 3 separate times right after i have re-fueled. When driving away from the gas station and onto the street it has sputtered and then turned off in the middle of the street. My vehicle will constantly turn off making it unsafe to drive it. I have once been in the middle of the intersection when my vehicle stalled, i am lucky i was not struck by another vehicle.but as you can see it is extremely dangerous having this happen when driving.
Drove to a business and once placed in park, the gear shift became stuck. Called aaa, they were going to tow it, then another driver showed up for aaa and knew just what to do. He takes apart the case that goes around the gear shift and presses on a pink colored emergency park release lever, ( why is that even an option??!!! ) it was obviously not attached to any thing as it fell down into the space around the shifter and still resides there. The discussion of towing it came up again, then we noticed a cable attached to the shifter and after playing with it have developed a system to unlatch it from park. You have to pull the cable to the left with a pen to disable the gear shift. Today i took it to where i bought it and they told me there was a recall on this and to take it to the dodge dealership. The dodge dealership knew just what i was talking about, but denies a recall on this. I am scheduled to have it fixed monday the 12th. I don't feel i should have to keep paying for faulty equipment, this car has been a disaster since i bought it. The front end has been fixed about 4 times for vigorously shaking and a god awful rattling noise ( goes away for a short time then returns shortly after being fixed!!), numerous tires have been bought because that must be the problem too ( out of the mouths of the dealership), the tire pressure light stays on, the abs light system malfunctions and has left me with a no brake sensation on multiple occasions. I have always owned dodges, but next time i purchase a vehicle it wont be a dodge.

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.
When traveling at hwy. Speed the car loses power and shuts off and back on by itself. If im stopped at a red light and it does it i have to put it in park and crank it back up but then it takes a 10-15 seconds before it will go into gear. The problem use to happen once or twice in a day and then it may be 2 weeks before it would happen again. Now the car is not drivable as it does this constant. I got a new front control module and drove it about 20 miles and it started again.

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.

Wife was trying to go to work, started the car no problems, and the car would not shift out of park. I did a internet search and found out it was probably "the pink thingy" park lockout, which is a common problem with chrysler especially years 2005-2007. I was able to get it to the dealership and informed them it was the pink thing. The service rep looked at me and said "oh! you know about that." informed me it is happening quite a bit. Needless to say i had to pay $112.00 to get it fixed with another part made out of the same cheap plastic. It is inexcusable for this to be happening to so many people, and chrysler not doing anything to help people out. Has turned me off on buying another chrysler vehicle since they do not seem to want to help out their customers.

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 managedto 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. Iput 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.

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'tapply to my car.it's the same problem and is a safety issue.
While drivingthe car loses power and slows down, the engine is running rough and when pulled over the side of the road, the car will not move at all.the shifter will move through the gears however the car will not move(automatic transmission).after turning the vehicle off and restarting the car runs normal until the next episode( occurred the last 3 times car has been driven).this is hazardous especially in traffic. Currently setting up appointment with dodge dealership to address problem however no caution light is appearing on the dash. This malfunction happens at any speed on highway or city street.
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.
Transmission stuck in park, safety release switch does nothing
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.

It has been at the local dodge dealership for repairs at least six times with no improvement.

On feb. 27th, 2012, i started my car in an attempt to drive to work.the car started up fine.i tried to shift from the park position to reverse, but the car would not shift into any other gear - it was stuck on park.i followed the instructions in the manual which advised to press the override switch located in the compartment near the shifter.this did not work.instead, i had to tow my car to the nearest auto repair shop and was presented with a bill of $456 for parts and labor to repair the shifter.apparently, this is happening with many dodge chargers, yet a recall on this has not been issued.i did some research and there is a forum where people who have experienced this issue complain of the same things.this needs to be addressed immediately and dodge needs to be held responsible.thank you!http://www.carcomplaints.com/dodge/charger/2007/accessories-interior/gear_shift_stuck.shtml.

Vehicle would not come out of park. Had to have it towed to shop "pink" plastic "shift interlock latch" broke the shifter was replaced.
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.

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.
Every time i fill my car up with gas and drive off from the gas station into on comingtraffic 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.
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. Healso says the ignition coils deteriorate over time, and the internal shielding does not keep stray 'noise' fromtravelling 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 coilsapparently 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.
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).
I have a 2006 dodge charger, purchased in cleveland oh in october/november 2005.i had issues with my vehicle starting in the beginning of 2006.i initially noticed that my transmission clutch was slipping and that my vehicle would not shift into gear.i took the vehicle into the dealership in september 2006 o find that the transmission clip had to be replaced.then another issue, that has yet to be resolved, began to emerge in early 2007.i noticed that the vehicle would rumble as if was preparing to shut off, usually when i was coming to a stop. Additionally, my vehicle would at times seem to be stuck in idle when i was trying to accelerate.my vehicle has been in the dealership repair shop 5 different times for this issue.i was told twice that the computer chip needed to be reprogrammed.two other times i was told the issue was related to brake issues and that my brakes needed to be replaced.i am filing this complaint because my vehicle is currently not under warranty, meaning a service charge everytime i take it in, and once again the issue has gone to the point where i need to take it one more time.i have contacted the manufacturer twice on this issue, once in 2007 and again recently, to no resolve.i have talked to one other charger (2007)owner who indicated they have a similar issue.the issue only occurs periodically, but prevents me from traveling long distances in my vehicle for fear of irreparable damage.i feel as my last option is to file this complaint.

2006 dodge charger.consumer writes in regards to faulty ignition switch. 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.

Gear shifter frozen in park, release button did not work had to have car towed on flat bedair bag light still on even after air bag recall
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.
Foot on brake... Start car... Can not move shift leaver frompark position.
My 2006 dodge charger was stuck in park and would not shift.the dealer is telling me they have had many issues with the shifter and are wanting to charge me $400 to fix it. The employees at the towing company also advised they have seen many problems with it. In researching it, i found it is a flimsy pink piece called the park lock out mechanism, which costs $49.99 to replace. If there have been this many issues, it should be recalled.
The transmission console shift lever stays in park. The console shift lever will not go into reverse.sunday morning my wife was on her way to church and found that the dodge charger rt transmission would not go into reverse. I tried it and she was right.my concern is if this happened while in traffic the vehicle could be rear ended or could cause a traffic night mare.my wife was in new hampshire as the driver of our car with three other ladies just prior to this problem. . she was about sixty miles away and if the transmission locked up there with the four of them they would have been stranded.the plastic shift lock out located in the console is a plastic piece and should be replaced with a metal or aluminum piece by a recall or at least a technical bulletin. The following is the current vehicle replacement shift interlock repair kit p/n 68088259ab.if any more information is required please feel free to contact me.
Takata recallthe suspension is shot. I am having to replace the my tires due to the bushings being junk and have ate my tires away on the inside down to the metal due to the toe positioning being incorrect. The control arms have been changed, but i am in fear the rear camber may be completely out. Also, sometimes my car does not want to turn over, but yet the battery, starter and alternator are fine. Also, my electrical system is a mess. I can't roll down my window unless i shut off my air or heat. Then when i turn on my air or heat all my interior lights go out. Plus, sometimes my tachometer doesn't want to work. I have replaced the engine and transmission, it is always maintained, but yet i feel like i am about to have to dump thousands of dollars into this cheaply made suspension. I have seen several charger owners of the same year stating they have had these issues and if a recall can not be done then a class action lawsuit should be put into motion. I'm hoping dodge will give us a chance to keep their customers, because at this morning i am ready to give up. I have always been a dodge fan, but this time, on my favorite looking car, you all have dropped the ball!
Shortly after filling the vehicle with fuel one day, it began to stall out when stopped. While traveling at highway speeds it seems to momentarily lose electrical and mechanical power, then a warning sound will chime and everything returns to normal... Temporarily. However, while on a road trip and traveling at speeds over 70mph with cruise control on, we didn't experience any of these symptoms until we had to reduce our speed when approaching towns.also, the cruise control will shut off if it is being used when "power surge" happens and has to be manually reset.
Transmission.. Bad air light on all the time.. Bad transmission hard shift.
I have a 2006 dodge charger that randomly dies when i'm driving on the highway in town at slow speeds turning corners or sitting still in park it's died on me several times when people have had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the side of me and it happens no matter what gear its in or what the rpm is at i've replace the ecm the tcm alternator battery and everything i've looked up about it online nobody has a definite fix but the problem exists in a lot of 2006 dodge chargers, and it almost always gives me one of two codes one is loss of communication with the ecm and the other is loss of communication with the tcm and then there's other times that it gives no code
Transmission shifter interlock lever return spring hook brokemy 2006 dodge charger was in park overnight, went out to start vehicle, once vehicle was running, tried to take the gear out of park to drive and it would not release. Turned car off, sat for 5 minutes, started car again, put foot on brake and tried to take gear out of park, it would not release. Called mechanic and informed him of the situation, mechanic came to see vehicle and informed me that the shifter interlock lever spring hook was broken, that's why the gear shift would not come out of park.the mechanic informed me that it was going to happen to 2nd vehicle that i own (dodge magnum) as well, for he's had a lot of dodge vehicles with the same problem.
This vehicle has been flawless since purchased new in 2006. In nov. 2013 it stalled when backing out of the garage. Restarted vehicle and was fine for 5 miles then stalled again. Ever since then the problem has increased in frequency and almost caused multiple accidents due to the vehicle stalling when crossing intersections or merging onto highways. I have not driven this car in months due to this as it is not safe for me or other drivers on the road. I have spent close to $2,000.00 in multiple attempts to fix this vehicle following repair manual procedures via the dealer. I have had the pcm, replaced twice (first one was defective right out of the box), tcm replaced, battery replaced, throttle body replaced, map sensor replaced, asd relay replaced and spark plugs replaced with zero improvements. I used to enjoy this vehicle and now it is a death trap with the way it is behaving. Something needs to be done as there are tens of thousands of these vehicles on the road exhibiting the same symptoms and dealer techs unable to properly diagnose and repair them.

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.
I was coming to a stop at a red light. The car began to shake like it was a manual transmission and was stalling, the car is an automatic. We stopped at the stop light and realized the engine had shut off. I put the vehicle in park, removed the key, and attempted to restart. It attempted 3-4 times to restart with no luck. I exited the vehicle to endure the gas cap was on and it was. After waiting for about 1-2 minutes i attempted to restart and was successful. This was about 2 miles after filling up the tank. This seems very similar to the currently pending investigation. It has not happened since but i have not filled up the gas tank since either.

I had just tanked up the car with premium unleaded, pulled out and came to a stop at light . The car surged and shut off, i placed it in park restarted it. Then driving again 2mins later the car started stall i put it in (n) revved the engine. I had to stop at light and the engine again shut off,, put in (p) restarted it and before reaching home it started to stall again, but i was able to keep it running until home this trip was only 4miles.
The car will shut off randomly, the error code keeps pointing back to the ecm and i have had that replaced now it is doing it again and there is no warning when it happens on the freeway it jolts like it wants to shutoff but it doesn't the rpm's go down and it revs back up,it started just with it having the rpm's go down and rev back up randomly and its been happening for 2 years now it just shuts off and starts back up immediately but sometimes ill drive a couple feet and it will die again. It has been in and out of the shop for the last 8 months. They have sent the computer back to have it analysed and to repair the new one i got now. When driving it also shuts off and then just starts up back by itself. I see this everywhere on the internet and forums, some say ecm needs to be replaced other say the fuel tank and the other says something about the key fob not recognizing the key. I want this investigated and a recall to be issued. From everyone i have spoken to every single 2006 dodge charger has this problem with the 5.7 lt with the hemi.
When i got into the car to leave work i could not get it out of park.i got a ride home and returned the next day and called the dodge dealership.they said they have had this happen numerous times and that it could happen anywhere.one of the mechanics had it happen when he stopped for fuel.the part cost $7 and the labor is $175.i feel i was fortunate that it did not happen while i had my infant grandkids with me and that it happened at work, so at least i was not stranded somewhere alone.evidently dodge is aware of the problem because the mechanic said they used to have to replace the whole shift mechanism and now dodge has come out with a cheaper part to fix it.it evidently doesn'thave anything to do with the year because they said they have had it happen on brand new vehicles as well as older models.
Went to the store and got into the car and the gear shift want come out of park. I had to have the car towed to the house because of this problem. I looked it up and it seems to be a common problem with the dodge chargers.
Warmed up my car as i always did in the morning for 15 min pulled out of my driveway and proceeded to the down the street to the stop sign came to a complete stop and my car started to idle hard continued down the street at 35 mph and came to a complete stop at a stop light the car started to idle hard again then the red lighting bolt started to flash and car shut off. I put my car back in park and restarted the car proceeded for another file mile approached another stop light light and same thing hard idle and shut off. I took my car to four different dealerships no one knew what the problem was. One mechanic said that it could be throttle body so i had him remove it and clean it he also removed the cables to battery to reset it car work fine for three days no problem the on the fourth day did as i always did warm up car and take off car shut off at first stop light. I noticed that it didn't do it while it was warm out side this morning was really cold and same issue.
Initially, after refueling my vehicle (2006 dodge charger r/t with 5.7l hemi) at a gas station, the engine would hesitate and stumble a mile or so later, and operate normally after a few moments. However, beginning within the last month, whenever i refuel at the gas station, the engine will hesitate and then stall.the obd does not illuminate the mil or register a dtc. The engine is then hard to restart, and once restarted and the transmission in drive, the vehicle will not begin to move immediately upon pressing on the accelerator, as if the transmission is in park or neutral. The stalling happens when pulling out of the gas station, when stopped and idling, and has happened when driving in traffic. This problem has resulted in several near collisions as the unexpected loss of power happens when pulling into traffic and while driving. This condition continues for several minutes and miles. I have gotten into the practice of refueling and driving straight home to park the car overnight, as it seems to drive better given time to sit after refueling.
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 while driving causing the filter to expand and oil to leak. My engine is beyond repair!i called dodge hq again and was told that there are no recalls on my vehicle after checking my vin#. Also told me they will not help me. They told me i can file a complaint with nhtsa. Meanwhile i am taking the bus. Not a happy camper!
A plastic part inside the gear shift broke off and then could not move gear shift out of park.the whole gear shift had to be replaced.
The car was parked outside, and when i went to drive the vehicle, it would not shift out of park. The gearshift (located in the center console) was locked in place, despite the vehicle starting up and the engine running properly. After researching the problem, it was discovered that the pink, plastic "transmission gear shift interlock return spring hook" was broken and needed to be replaced. Since my car is a 2006 dodge charger with the same part that was recalled on over 23,000 chargers, chrysler 300s and magnums from the years 2005-2007, and that this specific part is the one that failed on the vehicle, i believe that my car and vin should be included in the recall, and that expenses incurred fixing this part should be reimbursed by the manufacturer.

I was driving when my car seemed to stall and start back. The most scariest times are on the freeway. I've been in the fast lane and had it happens car stalls and kicks back on. I've taken my car to dodge dealers and they can't figure it out. I love my car but i'm really getting sick of them not fixing the problem. I'm having the same problem as everyone else so i'm not going to type it up in detail. But there is no reason why a car can stall itself and restart back up with no trace it ever happen. It's dangerous to the driver and passengers and incoming traffic. My car has been checked from the engine own and its showing nothing. My car is currently at chapman dodge chrysler and jeep and i got the call today saying its nothing showing wrong. It seems its electrical because when it happens it loses power and when i starts back on it has a kick to it. I'm just asking for it to be fix before someone gets killed.
Cannot shift from park have tried so many things and doesn't work. I did some research and there was a recall for this so hopefully i don't have to pay out of pocket.
My shifter does not engage fully into park. While in park without stepping on brake my 2 year old was able to move to r-n-d. You have to pull shifter all the way to the left to remove key from steering column but shifter will not lock.
Two years ago i had to replace the engine while driving the car all the lights came on and it lost power while driving at approximately 40 mph. Yesterday while on the highway going 65 mph the car lost power. This is very unsafe especially on the highway.
Transmission shifter interlock lever spring broke inside gearshift.car will not shift out of park.nhtsa website and phone call revealed that 2005-2007 avengers recalled for same exact issue, but not chargers.read over 200 complaints on nhtsa website and at least 80% of said complaints are same exact issue.an investigation should be opened about this.it is a very expensive fix for the owner, and not their fault.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would suddenly decelerate and would not accelerate past 40 mph.

The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The failure mileage was 33,000.
Please help me prevent accidents and/or fatalities that will result from chrysler's refusal to address a dangerous situation.recently my 2006 dodge charger began stalling, numerous time, with the steering locking sometimes at a high rate of speed on a busy highway.a potentially disastrous situation for everyone on the road.my car's been towed to the dealer three times and the problem remains a mystery to the technicians.they've changed the powertrain control module (pcm), with no change.the car continues to intermittently register 'lost comm with the pcm' diagnostic trouble codes.at times the car performs flawless, and other times it stalls and won't restart sometimes for days.after much research i have found that this is a recurring problem with chargers, old and new, and one that many other owners suffer.a chrysler rep told me they were aware of a stall problem, but said that since they don't know the exact cause, there is nothing they will do unless the customer pays for expensive and experimental diagnoses.why is it up to the consumer to find a known problem that could kill motorists?when do they intend to address it?after a family is wiped out?this is a disaster waiting to happen.and a preventable one if we can convince chrysler to address the problem and affect a recall to fix it.chrysler's disregard for the american consumer at the very least, and toward the public at large at most, is alarming.i cannot fathom how an american corporation these days can so brashly turn a blind eye to a known and potentially dangerous situation.while coverup might be a strong word to apply this early in the game, lets not let it get to that point.please help me fix this.thank you again for your time, and keep fighting the good fight.
My 2006 dodge charge keeps getting stuck in park and the pink release does not work either, i have to slide a steel wire all the way to the left in order to get it to give. There are a million forums and complaints based off of this exact issue and yet no recall because its not a safety issue? maybe not but it is obviously defective. My warranty is up and cant afford to fix the issue so i have to do this everytime i get into my car. How many complaints and forums need to go up before they make a recall for the defective part?
Well yesterday evening. I was merging onto the interstate and all of a sudden the transmission slipped and the car was just revving while still in drive. If there were any oncoming traffic i could off gotten into an accident. I don't drive the car hard, definitely don't race. Why would something happen like this? it is pretty much a brand new car which i keep up the scheduled maintenance. Is there going to be a recall on this equipment because this could cause serious accident. I've read a few different forums on this vehicle and there are others that are having the same problem of the transmission slipping out of gear or hesitating to go into gear. So this isn't just a one time thing. I lost some of the pride in having this certain vehicle. From my knowledge the same transmission were offered in the older e class mercedes benz and they too had similar problem.
No problems up to the point of failure.i have 42,000 miles on dodge charger. When i got in car two days ago, the gear would not come out of park.when i called the dealer, i didn't have to finish describing the problem, she told me that ths gear shifter had seized and what the price was to fix it.it was obviously a common problem.when i googled the problem, there were so many hits, i knew it had to be a recall item but it is not.also, the tow service said he was certain there was a recall based on the number of chargers he picks up with the same problem.i haven't been able to find a recall for this item but based on the number of failures, it appears there should be.the dealer has replaced the gear shifter.

The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 110,000.
2006 charger will not shift out of park. Apparent interlock failure, resulting in broken plastic piece. Based on internet search found that chrysler issued a customer satisfaction notification k39, which only covered certain vehicles. It appears to be a very broad defect.
I have owned my 2006 dodge charger v6 3.5l ho, for almost 2 years now and in that time the car has had the same problems that the dealers can't fix or even know what to do. I would go to start the car and it would crank up, turn over then cut back off. It would do that about three times before starting after i turn the radio off. It has also had about a 30 second pause when starting the car, in which there would be no engine cranking, no noise... Just the dashboard lights and nothing else. I had to turn the key three times before i got it to start. The absolute worst is the car idles down like it wants to shut off while stopped in everyday traffic not to mention the previous 2 i stated before, happens in spurts. Its been back to the dealership several times and i was told that the computer was returning "no codes" so they don't know what the problem is. They have tested the battery, ignition and they were all fine.

My 2006 dodge charger started leaking transmission fluid. I took it to the dealership, where they told me the problem was some plug that goes into the transmission pan.the service advisor diagnosed the problem without even looking under the car, because he said there had other vehicles in for repair for the same problem. I dropped the car off the following monday for repair.the receipt states that they replaced an o-ring and bushings. It cost me a little over $153, not overly expensive for what could have been a major problem had the leak not been detected and more fluid lost. I checked in on a forum over the web and noticed other owners of the same vehicle having the same problem.i wanted to know why no recall has been filed for this.have there not been any other complaints concerning this?
1.multi cylinder misfires, resulting in the inability to accelerate, rough idle and engine failure. 2. Approximately every 4 to 6 weeks and 3 times over the last 2 weeks.3. Service to the vehicle 10 times, replacing shift module,valve keepers, combustion chamber cleaning (twice), cam seal,rocker arm, both exh., rocker rails and pedestals.

Dodge charger.rotor/brake trouble.squeaking during 5-15mph, and violent vehicle shaking when stopping during 30+mph.
2006 dodge charger is stuck in park. Pink emergency release does not work as described in manual. While researching a possible fix i noticed that this is a common defect even on newer chargers. I believe that paying for repairs that seem to be common and uncontrollable is senseless.

06 dodge charger with 33,000 miles.car has began to violently shake and engine light will begin blinking while almost stopped at a stop light or fully stopped. I have to shut the car off stopped at an intersection for a short time and then restart to get out of the intersection.i do not see how this can possible be safe for my passengers(3 & 7 yr old), myself or other cars. This has occurred 4 times since may 2008.the dealership has replaced oxygen sensor, flashed thepowertrain control module (saying lost communication with steering control module), and on july 29th replaced the powertrain control module.had car back a few days and backed out of a parking space, put car in drive and pushing the accelerator did nothing.after a few seconds the accelerator worked & i moved about 10 feet.the car started shaking violently/engine light began blinkingand i had to shut the car off.fortunately, no one was around me this time.when i restarted the car, the engine light stayed on constant(not blinking), which i have been told over & over by the dealership is safe to drive.i was able to drive the 2 miles home.took car into dealership again on aug 4, 2008.was told this time that there is a tsb & they have to order parts.but to pick it up until the parts come in that it is safe to drive.the consumer was told the vehicle had an evaporation leak. There were times when the vehicle would not accelerate, the engine light and esp/bas light illuminated. The dealer then stated the cause of the problem was a multi-cylinder misfire at cylinders 2-4.updated 10/09/08.

Just this past year i've had to get the transmission seal changed twice and now transmission fluid is leaking again. I've talked to other charger owners and it seems that this is an ongoing problem when the vehicle gets about 50,000 miles.
I have a 2006 charger r/t with approx 80k miles. I went into the dealer for an oil change and they said my transmission was leaking. I asked if it was serious and the advisor told me it happens "all the time" on chargers like mine. What makes it worse is that there is no dipstick to monitor your transmission fluid level. It seems a little odd that a seal would wear out in less than 3 years. Chrysler should recall this for safety reasons.
Own 2 chargers and both of them had the same shifter problem. Unable to shift out of park. Shifters must be replaced. I have been driving for 42 years and never had a shifter problem. Dodge should repair these problems since it is aa common problem to all 2006 chargers.
I have a 2006 dodge r/t daytona charger. It has 48,000 miles on it and has given me very few problems . I tried to put into reverse to back it out of the garage and it would not come out of park. I tried various things as described in the owners manual and by the mechanics at the dealership, but it would not budge. The car had to be towed to the dealership for repairs. (shifter replacement). Everyone i have delt with seems to know of these problems as it seems to be a common occurrence in 2005 and newer dodge vehicles with an automatic transmission and a floor shifter. I wonder why there hasn't been a recall. Could it be that they charge over $300 to perform a 45 minute job to replace a $60 part?
Vehicle shifter stuck in park.driver stranded on rural secondary road at night. Problem has occurred once to me. Upon researching the matter further, this problem is the most common problem with this and other models with the same shifter and has occurred thousands of times.vehicle towed to nearest dealer and repaired for $312.00.have possession of old parts.

I am about to file a lemon law complaint because dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 dodge charger r/t, since day four of my ownership.i have owned this car for 68 days and of those, i have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days.they have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate".the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission.of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks.i happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car.additionally, i have taken my car to two different mechanics (one dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions.i would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution.
My complaint is about the charger 2006 model there are vast number of chargers that have a problem with the gear shifter on the floorbeing stuck in park and will not release it has been a known fact of dodge cars are being brought in daily to landmark dodge in georgia and nobody has indicated to the top that its a problem needs to be addresssoon as possible.
The problem with my car usually happens wheni am entering an express-way for example or passing another car, and consequently having to accelerate rapidly, but then if i take my foot off the gas, say, to slow down orstep on the breaks, the car will stall, and this is every time. I am not talking here of a suituation of "red-lining", just every-day normal driving. If i am accelerating, say in the 3000 rpm range, and thentake my foot off the gas for whatever reason, the car will jerk and basically the transmission will disengage from the engine speed. When this happens, i get no response from the accelerator. The engine will still be running and every thing else will be ok, except accelerating. Usually, when i get no response from the accelerator, i let the car coast until the speed is somewhere about 20 mph and the transmission will re-engage and i can proceed. The problem i am describing has been happening since the car wasnew. I have talked with the service rep at a local dodge dealership and he of cause down-plays the problem, but its only a matter of time before another car will slams into my vehicle, because my car stalls on the highway expecially a portion of the road that may not have a pull-off sholder. I hope you can take this complaint seriously. I know a lot about cars and i can say with some degree of certaintly that my car has a defective transmission. It is not normal for a transmission to cease reaponding simply because a driver takes their foot off the gas in the mist of a hard acceleration.
Brakes have locked up x3.vehicle almost skidded into the back of another vehicle @ 40mph. Afraid to drive vehicle.had it checked out by dealership & repair shop, nothing wrong.repair shop did note brake squeak and vehicle shaking even at low mph during test drive- he had just put new rotor and brake pads less than 3mnths ago! vehicle also has a noticeable 'kick' or 'jarring' when driving- even at 5-10mph in parking lot when accelerator pedal is not even pressed.i am very afraid to drive this car especially w/my child.this is my only vehicle and as a single mother and educator -safety, security, and reliability is important.
I received a safety recall for my state highway patrol car. When i took it to my local dealer they would not work on it and stated they didn't know anything about it. 2 of my other partners had the same problem with the same dealership. I contacted another dealership 50 miles away and they had the recall fixed the next day. My other 2 partners went to this dealership 50 miles away and had therecall fixed quickly also. This local dealership also has not performed 1 other bulletin on this same patrol car which resulted in the item being fixed by a dealership in another state.

Purchased july 14, 2006.it ran great with no problems until july 26.i went to take a left out of my company's parking lot and the car sputtered and would accelerate fast.i had to pull off on the left side of the road to get out of the way of oncoming traffic.i put it in neutral and gave it some gas.i attempted to go again when the traffic was clear and it sputtered more until i gave it a lot of gas and then it drove fine.i though it was an isolated incident so i drove it home.that night my wife, son and i took the car to the mall.upon leaving the mall it did it again and the engine light was on.the dealership was still open and close by so i drove it directly there.they gave me a loaner to drive while they attempted to fix it.on august 9, they gave the vehicle back to me.that night it did it again, except the vehicle actually died on me in the middle of traffic.the next day it was back to the dealer where is sat for 37 days while they tried to figure out what was wrong.they replaced all the oxygen sensors, the power control module, the wiring harnesses and i am sure there were some other things.they test drove it for 9 key cycles and 250 miles and were 98% confident they fixed it so i got the car back on september 15.the next day the same problem returned and i was 50 miles from home and this time the idling of the car was so rough that the car was visibly shaking.i had a friend follow me home and since it was a saturday night, the dealership was not open and would not be until monday.monday morning i started the car up and let it idle 5 minutes before leaving.when i got in, it was idling rough again and the engine light was flashing.i shut it down, called a tow truck and it is back at the dealership where it will stay because i am not taking it back.i have requested vehicle replacement from chrysler and the dealership.now here i am 5 days later and there is still no answer as to when i will get a new vehicle.
The column shift would not move. The engine started fine, however the car would not come out of park. I noted that there was a recall on the 2006 dodge charger for power train automatic transmission:lever and linkage column shift, although i have a 2006 dodge charger with the same problems i was informed by dodge that my vehicle was not a part of the recall. I believe that my vehicle should be included in the recall because it has the same exact problem as described above and my vehicle is the same year, make and model as the recall.

My center console shifter of my 2006 dodge charger rt, has a malfunction.it will not let me out of park.when i try to release it with the manual override button, it will not release either.also when the vehicle is turned off and the car is still in gear, it will not allow the vehicle to go into park.this poses a larger problem if there is an accident and that part breaks.
Repeated issues with 2006 dodge charger.vibration in front end causes rippling damage to tires, requiring new tires 3 x in 40,000 miles.dealer says its not an issue, but tire stores say they see a lot of dodge chargers with this problem.dodge dealer is refusing to acknowledge problem is not consumer caused.
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.
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.
Informed our dealer that the left-rear seatbelt was backwards.a passenger had a hard time hooking the seatbelt.the dealer ordered a replacement seatbelt and installed it.this seatbelt was manufactured backwards too.checked all chargers and magnums on the lot and discovered that all left-rear seatbelts are backwards.also checked another dealers stock with the same results.our dealer said that they would inform chrysler.it has been six months and we have not heard anything from chrysler.this is a safety issue that needs to be resolved with a recall.

The contact mentioned that both the brake and accelerator pedals would rise or fall simultaneously depending on the adjustment of the driver's seat. The contact stated that the vehicle was not taken to a dealer for diagnostic testing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure and current mileage was 143,000.
This issue started approx 3 weeks ago. The head lights will not stay on they flicker off and on as if i was flashing my lights to alert another driver, when they are actually doing this on its on. This is not only a safety issue, but i'm afraid i will get pulled over by law officials. And my job requires me to have to be at work at night.this is very disturbing when this happens and they stay off at times for 30 to 40 seconds at a time and i'm having to hold the bright light arm to have lights. The passenger airbag light comes on from time to time saying it is not on, and there are brake issues as well.
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.

I was driving my car on 1/1/2015 and it just cut off and wouldn't crank back, i was glad i was turning on my street, and the back right e- brakes came apart and tore up, when i also make a right or left turn the steering section makes a funny noise, and the engine light will not cut off. I am on disability and receive very low income of $721 and i am taking care of two children out of that and i am 59 years old, so can you all please help me get my car back on the road, please.
Within blocks of leaving a fuel station and filling with fuel the vehicle stumbled then the engine died while traveling 35 mph on a city stream in the rain. Car was difficult to stop because of no power steering or power brakes.
In the 2006 dodge charger r/t the car will completely turn off if the gas is full or close to full. This is a well known issue with the r/t model. Dodge has known of this issue for years and also the dealerships. After filling the tank the vehicle will turn off in turn losing power steering brakes and engine power even while your foot is on the gas pedal. I have almost gotten into accidents due to this. I took my vehicle to the dodge dealerships and was told that this is a known problem and dodge refuses to call a recall.
The abs, brake and traction control lights came on. Then when you hit the brakes you would feel a vibration. The brakes do not vibrate any more but all the lights are still on. There was a recall for the 2007 charger for this butnot the 2006.
After filling the gas tank, the car would stumble, miss and start jerking.was making a 90 degree right hand turn and the car shut off.in the middle of the turn, i had no power steering nor brakes.fortunately, there were no oncoming cars as i ended up on the wrong side of the street.car restarted and ran a few feet before the stumbling, jerking and missing started to occur once again.after reading up on this problem, i had the gas tank replaced, as it (the tank) had all of the signs of a bad "roll-over" valve.this valve is molded into the gas tank and is non-replaceable.once the tank was replaced, the problem has gone away and have not had an issue since.
My car shuts off when sitting in traffic also car does not cut back on until after 3 tries its also shut off after u put gas in the car in stall at idle it also shuts down sometime while driving i have a daughter who is only 6 this is very dangerous for call to shut off in traffici'm scared don't no what to do or why i'm have in this problem.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving 30 mph the contact smell burning fumes inside the vehicle. The contact merged to the side of the road to inspect the vehicle and notice a fire on the passenger side headlight. The fire department was call to put out the fire. The vehicle was destroyed due to the fire. Upon investigating the cause of the fire, the fire marshall stated the abs system caused the fire. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 50,000.
Speedometer quit working, car jumps hard into reverse and drive, will not shift out of first gear, code u0100, u1120, u0121, u0103, replaced computer and had no change of condition, no transmission dipstick to check fluid, a must take to dealer item that is not sensible.
After i filled up on gas i drove out of the station and a block later while traveling 35 mph mycar completely turned off and the oil light came on. I could not steer or brake. I got out of the road put it in park and it started right up. I decided to drive two blocks farther to the oil change place and it did it again just died while driving down a busy street but started right up. I took it to a mechanic who could not find any codes or any problems.
Has anyone else had issues with their brakes seeming to lock up and airbag light in dash coming on after r25 recall repair???? dealer refuses to address these problems without me paying for diagnositics to be run first & i don't have $100+ to pay out of pocket. These issues started the day i drove it home after getting the recall repaired.... .. Help?!?!! i paid for new brakes bc i figured it could be strictly coincidence, but the light & beeping too?!? no way!!!!
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. When the vehicle drove over unleveled land, there was a delay with the abs. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact called two dealers and the part was not available to schedule the repair for nhtsa campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags). The dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the contact's vehicle would receive the recall repair. The failure mileage was unknown.
After fueling up, i pulled out of the gas station and onto a main road. About 300yards from the gas station. I accelerated to approximately 40mph, in the middle of the intersection my car "dinged" the oil light came on and my engine shut down. I lost all ability to turn, or break. This is a very dangerous situation. I feared for my life. I originally thought it was becausei let the fuel levels get too low, after, i realized if i fill up all the way, this always occurs. God forbid if i were to be entering on to a freeway at a higher rate of speed. Since this has happened to me 3+ times, i am very scared and nervous to drive my car. Something as to be done. Please, before someone gets killed because the gas tank and evap canister are screwy! i. Ant get any dealership or mechanic to fix it without replacing the whole tank,($$$$$$$).
Immediately after fueling vehicle to regular capacity and automatic shutoff - no "topping off". Left the filling station and the car stalled several times, each time in a precarious position such as decelerating to make a turn or coming to a stop at a light.car dies losing power steering and breaks.thought this might be bad gas but it has since repeated every time the car is refueled.this is becoming a serious safely concern as the condition is common during the first 50 or so miles of driving after a fill up.upon speaking with the dealer they blamed the issue on the end user overfilling the tank.as the only user of the vehicle it is never overfilled nor ?topped off?.
Minutes after filling my tank with gas, i drove less than a mile and turned into a parking lot. I was still driving, around 15 mph, when i heard a ding, and immediately noticed a loss of steering control. I pressed the brake and quickly noticed a loss of braking as well. It was then i realized the car had stalled while i was still moving!thankfully i had no one around and was on a straight stretch where i could slowly come to a stop, put it in park and restart. I pulled into a parking space, and the car proceeded to stall out 2 more times just sitting there.there was no warning symptoms ahead of time - perfectly smooth idle at the correct rpm, then it just drops to 0 as if the key were turned off. I ran into the store for less than 2 minutes, came out and drove home. I haven't seen any problems since then (this happened less than 24 hours ago).there were no codes thrown.i've owned this car since '07 when it had 5k miles on it. With a little over 88k miles i've never seen anything like this happen before.needless to say if this happened in traffic it would be highly dangerous.note: this is a 2006 daytona r/t. Early manufacture date of 9/22/2005.
While i was driving approximately 35 mph my vehicle suddenly stalled causing me to lose power to the motor and power to the steering and brakes. I had toquickly pull off to the side of the road as the traffic was heavy and i had no power to control my car. This was a dangerous situation and i fear it may happen again. I have read about (dodge charger forum) many other owners of similar vehicles that this problem occurs shortly after you fill up the gas tank. I did just fill the gas tank prior to my car stalling incident. I feel this is a dangerous defect that develops on this vehicle and it needs to be looked into immediately.
Drove to a business and once placed in park, the gear shift became stuck. Called aaa, they were going to tow it, then another driver showed up for aaa and knew just what to do. He takes apart the case that goes around the gear shift and presses on a pink colored emergency park release lever, ( why is that even an option??!!! ) it was obviously not attached to any thing as it fell down into the space around the shifter and still resides there. The discussion of towing it came up again, then we noticed a cable attached to the shifter and after playing with it have developed a system to unlatch it from park. You have to pull the cable to the left with a pen to disable the gear shift. Today i took it to where i bought it and they told me there was a recall on this and to take it to the dodge dealership. The dodge dealership knew just what i was talking about, but denies a recall on this. I am scheduled to have it fixed monday the 12th. I don't feel i should have to keep paying for faulty equipment, this car has been a disaster since i bought it. The front end has been fixed about 4 times for vigorously shaking and a god awful rattling noise ( goes away for a short time then returns shortly after being fixed!!), numerous tires have been bought because that must be the problem too ( out of the mouths of the dealership), the tire pressure light stays on, the abs light system malfunctions and has left me with a no brake sensation on multiple occasions. I have always owned dodges, but next time i purchase a vehicle it wont be a dodge.
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.chrysler they say car is not part of the ones that they will fix the shifter on.am mad enough over a 69 cent pink plastic part to want to stick this car up [xxx] in customer cares rear.information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 15 mph and approaching a stop sign, the headlights flashed off and on and a pop sound emitted from the brake pedal. The contact attempted to accelerate, but an abnormal sound emitted from the rear tires and smoke appeared. Also, the abs light illuminated and the power steering and power brakes failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that there were several failures that progressed within months of owning the vehicle. The vehicle stalled several times and the instrument panel warning indicators and gauges flickered. When there was a loss of power, the doors would automatically lock and were unable to open. In addition ,the brakes failed to function properly when applied. An unknown dealer replaced the brakes and the pinion pins twice due to the wheels on the driver's side being affected due to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and the contact was waiting to determine if there was an option to trade in or buy back the vehicle. The failure mileage was not available.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the there was an abnormal noise coming from the brakes and there was an abnormal smell near the tie rod. In addition, the vehicle could not be shifted out of park. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tie rod needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,300.
1. In october only 5 months after buying my '06 charger i noticed a lot of noice coming from the brakes.2.in november i took it in to the dealer and they said everything was fine that it mainly should happen when it gets colder.3.i took it in last week in march and told them that it has been 75 degrees and up and that they still make noice at any speed.they said that there is nothing wrong with my brakes.after looking at other similar cases i am now assured that this is a big problem with other vehicles like mine and that they need to fixed!!
2006 dodge charger daytona, front brakes started rubbing at about 8000 miles, was told thats normal. Brake problem has continued to 22,000 miles and now the rotors are badly grooved and in need of replacement as well as front brake pads. Warranty period for brakes is 12,000 miles (i fully understand this a wear part). Dealership has a technical service bulletin available, however the brakes are past their warranty. The problem began whil within warranty and was not repaired, and now the car can not be driven until the rotors are replaced/turned and brake pads replaced.
Charget r/t 5.7 l:starting at about 30,000 mi --severe (very scary) vibration and shake in front end and in steering wheel when braking at highway speeds. Does not occur at low speeds.inspection of rotors/pads show no problems.based on my research i believe to be a suspension defect.
Brakes: the charger r/t brakes only have 17k miles on them and the rotors need to be replaced. I complained to the dealer at 11k but was told that the shaking was normal. The dealers know about this problem with the rotors warping and refuse to extend the warranty past 12k miles.
I have a dodge charger rt 06. I took it to the dealership a year ago to replace a part on the front end. There was a noise coming from the front end. Now recently, i almost got into an accident because brakes almost didn't stop me in time and i wasn't speeding. Before all of this, when i speed up, the front end and steering wheel shakes or wobbles and this has me worried. If by chance i encounter bad weather, because i do live in michigan, i hope something on the charger doesn't fail when i need it the most. To of my friends have also experience problems with 300 c's and chargers.
Brakes squeak at low speeds.
Dodge charger.rotor/brake trouble.squeaking during 5-15mph, and violent vehicle shaking when stopping during 30+mph.
I've had a 2006 charger rt for less than a year. For a couple of months the brakes began squealing and feeling like there grinding at times when i stop. Each time i visited the dealership i was told that the noise was normal because the brakes and brake pads were metallic. I recently took a trip up in the mountains, coming down i couldn't even use the brakes because the car began shaking and pulsating rapidly i could barely hold onto the steering wheel, luckily there weren't any other cars around. After checking out this website and charger forums i'm definitely going to demand that my rotors be checked and fixed.
Front driver's side brakes squeal and drag.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated the brake pressure on the brake release made a grinding sound.the contact stated the column shift locked and the vehicle was unable to shift out of park. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the nhtsa recall campaign in number: 06v149000 (service brakes, hydraulic) and nhtsa campaign id number: 08v583000 (powertrain: automatic transmission: lever and linkage: column shift), were related to the failure but the vehicle was not included in either recall. The vin was unavailable. The failure and current mileage was 56,000.
Brakes squeal with light to moderate braking.rotors turned at 30k, pads rotors replaced at 60k.
About 1 year ago as i was driving along interstate 95 the instrument needles all went to 0 or far left then went back to normal immediately.as time went on this occurred more frequently. About six months later as i was driving at night the needles dropped off and the head lights went off and stayed off until i switched from the auto position to the manual on position.the next time it happened i was at a stop light and the car cut off in the middle of the road.i called a police officer because i thought i might get rear-ended.after about 5 minutes the car started but ran rough.just this past weekend while driving at night in a parking lot the needles dropped off, the headlights went out, and the brakes malfunctioned.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated while starting the vehicle the brakes became extremely difficult to engage and also difficult to stop the vehicle while driving. The dealer advised the contact that the brakes do not need to be replaced. The contact is aware of the safety risk while driving the vehicle. The current mileage was 20,800 and the failure mileage was 20,793.
The failure with my vehicle is that the brakes squeal/screech every time i brake between 0-50 miles per hour. My car only has 11,000 miles and it is not supposed to be doing this. This is ruining my brake rotor. I took it to the dealer twice and both of the times they said it could not be duplicated. That was no help at all because i still have the problem.
Brakes squeal after warming up under light to moderate braking.
Brakes have locked up x3.vehicle almost skidded into the back of another vehicle @ 40mph. Afraid to drive vehicle.had it checked out by dealership & repair shop, nothing wrong.repair shop did note brake squeak and vehicle shaking even at low mph during test drive- he had just put new rotor and brake pads less than 3mnths ago! vehicle also has a noticeable 'kick' or 'jarring' when driving- even at 5-10mph in parking lot when accelerator pedal is not even pressed.i am very afraid to drive this car especially w/my child.this is my only vehicle and as a single mother and educator -safety, security, and reliability is important.
Repeated warping and squealing coming from brakes. Dealership turns the rotors to "fix" the issue till it is out of original 12,000 mile warranty for brakes. They will then no longer correct the issue without payment. There is no permanent fix.
My brakes on my dodge charger se with the 3.5 l v6 have been squealing. It first started one day when i was driving and slowing down to a complete stop at a intersection. As i getting very close the intersection i heard a squealing like a school bus, so naturally i assumed it was a older vehicle with bad brakes. I kept driving residential neighborhoods with no other cars present and again when i came to stop at a stop sign the squeal was present. I only seemed to get the squeal when slowing to a stop. Also the brakes sometimes make a moaning sound especially when you come to slow down. Good example is if you are backing into a parking space and press the gas too much, you naturally press the brake to stop and then will ease off of it. I get the moaning sound going in reverse motion and forward motion. I let me dealer know who said that my vehicle was past 12,000 and that i would simply have to deal with it. This makes no sense for a new car to be doing this.
Took my srt 8 06 charger to the dealer 3-1-07 because brake rotors had grooves and pads were prematurely worn at 19,000 miles on all 4 wheels. District manager refused to offer a replacement at no cost. Dodge knows that this problem exists and there needs to be a recall.. Many complaints on the dodge forum too regarding this.
Consistent brake squealing and minor vibrating when stopping.
Braking system is squealing under normal use, and warped rotors are noticeable during all braking conditions.
Brakes squeal at all speeds when applied. Pulsating or shaking when decelerating from high speeds. Has been happening for many miles and has been brought to dealer with same story: brakes are metallic and will squeak from time to time.
Continued break squeaking caused by the glazing of the break pads due to poor product manufacturing.
I was recently in a car accident where my brakes locked on me and i went sliding into another vehicle. When the impact occurred my air bags never deployed and my brakes were still locked.
Disk brake noise.i have had this car since it was new, and have had frequent problems with the brakes, mostly inb the front axel. The dealer replaced the front rotors and pads at least 2 times i believe, and recently a few months ago, i changed the front pads again to try to get rid of the squealing noise. I have purchased oem brakes and rotors from the dealer, and last time i replaced them, i used a brand from a local auto parts store. It seems that i the brakes stay quiet for a little while after they have been cleaned and services, but soon start returning to making a horrible squealing noise anytime the brakes are used. After several trips for this at two different dealers, and reading up on the manufactures web forums, it looks like this has been happening to a lot more people than just me.i feel there must be a design or manufacturing issue that needs to be addressed to correct this type of chronic problem.
I purchased a 2006 dodge charger in august of 2006. The first couple thousand miles i would hear my front brakes grinding, thinking it would go away i kept driving the vehicle. The grinding noise from my brakes continued to get worse so i took my vehicle to the dealership with 8000 miles on it. The dodge dealership told me the noise was normal but they would lube and clean the pads.that didn't help at all so i took my vehicle back to the dealershipa week later in which they still told me the grinding noise is normal and there are no safety problems with the brakes.i know have under 10,000 miles on my charger and the grinding noise is getting worse. I'm very concerned about my families safety in the vehicle ,i know the noise is not normal and i believe the dealership knows that too.
Dt*: the contact stated while entering traffic at 35 mph, the brake pedal was applied and the vehicle did not slow down.the vehicle was downshifted to second, and then first gear.at the next exit, the vehicle came to a stop on an incline.the contact exited the vehicle and noticed flames coming out of the brake well on the front passenger side.the vehicle was coasted into an independent repair shop, who determined the abs failed and all four brakes were white hot.the vehicle was towed to the dealership, but no report was given.
After purchasing my 2006 dodge charger in april of 2006 i immediately had a problem with a squeaking from the front brakes.when taking the car in for service i was repeatedly told it was brake dust and it would go away when washing.the noise has never gone away and has continued to get worse now that i have over 20,000 miles on them.
I bought a new '06 dodge charger r/t a couple months ago.car has only 3,000 miles and brakes are squealing bad, and grooves in the rotors.this is ridiculous.i know a lot of people are having the same problem.
The problem startedwhen i bought it brand new and kept bringing back to the dealer.failure to find problem.notice a lot of other customers having the same problem.brought car to an expert and found the suspension which includes shocks, struts, brakes etc. Were not the right part for this model.expert changed necessary parts and have not had a problem there after.expert did research and dealer wanted to know what he did to fix it and he would not comply.they should do the research and fix the problem.i hope everyone files a complaint and i would tell dodge they fix it or i will file a defect lawsuit for complete refund of a $42,000 car plus inconvenience.
2006 dodge charger.consumer writes in regards to parts not available to repair airbags, fuel tank, automatic transmission and service brakes/hydraulic recall notices.the consumer stated the vehicle would stall.updated 09/19/2016.
I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times to have issues fixed.each time i got the car back, it was worse.i had 13 issues originally with the car.i ended up suing, and got a very small settlement- dodge refused to cooperate.i still have each and every problem, and do not know what else to do.my car dies while in reverse, the brakes malfunction constantly, the window panel remains broken due to their inept work, the radio cuts off, the dash lights die @ night, etc.i would truly appreciate it if someone could actually help me.i do not know what else to do.i love my car dearly, but something needs to be done.the date i put as date of incident is when this all started.
Squeaky brakes on my 06 dodge charger since i had 9,000 miles on the car. Nobody will do anything (service dept.'s and chrysler-daimler) saying it's not an issue yet they see fit to upgrade to slotted brakes on all the 07 models.
At 12,500 miles took vehicle to dodge dealer complaining of the front brakes squealing.they told me the rotors were warped, probably from going though a puddle when they were hot, which i had not done.i had to pay to have the rotors turned.still squealed.ended up having to buy new rotors and pads for front.now, the rear squeal so bad i am embarrassed to drive it.will end up having to replace the rear brakes.
Squeaky brakes/rotorsi have been reading for the last several months about 2006 daytona r/t owners complaining about squeaky brakes. I too have suffered from this problem. I bought my gmg daytona in may of 2006. My brakes started to squeak in august 2006. I brought my car in three times to have this problem rectified. Each time i received answers from the dealer similar to the ones i have read here. Finally i was forced to write a letter to the dealer. "january 8, 2008 i received a quick reply and the vice president of t he dealership agreed to look at the problem. They replaced my rear brake pads and rotors. On the way home from the dealership the brakes began squeaking as bad as before. I was quite dismayed. I telephoned the vp of the dealership, whose reply was basically "we did what we can, we changed your brakes, their as good as new, and if the squeak, well then that's what they'll do, and we are basically done with this...". I find this totally unsatisfactory. Good luck selling a $25,000 car with screaming brakes. I have thought of invoking the lemon law, as even though the car is safe, the brake issue could severely impact my resale value. I have finally broken down and bought hawk ceramic pads which i'm going to have installed. This to me does not seem the way this issue should be solved. I don't buy the "hi-po" brake sell that we are getting from dodge. I think the pads are substandard, and perhaps so are the rotors. This should not be the case on a car for which i paid $32,000. I love the car, and would hate to have to ditch it because of the brakes.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.while driving between 2-60 mph, the brake pedal was depressed, but the vehicle would not stop.the contact normally places the vehicle in park or applies the emergency brake.all of the warning indicator lights would illuminate, except the check engine light.the dealer replaced the wheel sensor, but the failure continued.the failure mileage was 8,372 and current mileage was 13,000.
My brakes on my 2006 dodge charger have been defectivefor some time, warped rotors, screeching sound when brakes are applied. If no help is found here im going take this matter to the bbb.
Poor brake system on the dodge daytonart 2006. My vehicle only has 27,000 miles on it and my rear and front rotors are shot. I have replaced the brake pads once already. Dodge is saying that this is "common" and is not taking responsibility for this. To have this fixed will be approx $700. This appears to be a problem with several buyers of this vehicle. I have reviewed messages on www.chargerforums.com with people complaining about the same problems and dodge does nothing about this issue.

Brakes squeal when pressure is first applied to pedal. Off and on since i bought the car last year.called dealership and was told that this was common and that some cars do this all the time, it's normal.
2006 dodge charger se brakes squealing on turns and during stops.rotors showing no macroscopic signs of wear.several owners with same model as well as upgraded models, have noticed similar situations at extremely low miles.brake return spring is also making noise when peddle is depressed and returns to original position.
The abs lights and esp lights along with the traction lights appeared on the dash board, and when trying to stop the vehicle, pressingthe brakes, it didn't come to a complete stop.it wasvery dangerous excorting my 10 year old son to school.
I bought a dodge charger in june 2006 and started having problems with the brakes in september. It started as a vibration which nobody could identify. I paid to have the tires balanced because dodge would not cover it. That was not the problem. I am now sitting at 16,000 miles and warped rotors which they will not do anything about because they say i am over the 12,000 mile brake warranty. I will have to pay for the rotors myself. As a comparison i also have a chevy tahoe. I put the first set of rotors on that at 80,000 miles. This is a major problem that dodge will not acknowledge and must be addressed!thank you
We purchased a 2006 dodge charger rt brand new in 4/2006. At approximately 8000 miles we started hearing the brakes squeal. It came and went but at 12k we took the car in for service. We were told nothing was wrong. I told the service manager that i knew there was a pretty big issue with the brake squeal because i had done my research. We took the car back in and they replace the brake pads and resurfaced the rotors. The brakes started squealing again immediately. I was then told that it was normal and that since asbestos was outlawed that all brakes are made with more metal so they will squeak. You and i both know that that is not true ihave owned many vehicles and there brakes don't squeal. I was then told my wife drives the car to passively and the brakes are heavy duty and the car needed to be "stopped more aggressively". I tried to do the panic stop thing but it is dangerous and of coarse it made no difference. Our last contact was that they were aware of the issue, had no resolution and they would call when they did. The dealership has since gone out of business. This has got to be a safety issue. You cannot run around with your brakes squealing and have confidence that there is not something wrong. Chrylser knowsthat this is an issue and i want to lodge a formal complaint. I was told that i need to call the corporate representative and complain to them. Which i will do. However what happens to me or my family if the brakes fail. The dealer ship has kept all the parts they replaced and the service records can be retrieved of the vin. I hope that at least a record of this issue is being kept and maybe it is time to force chrysler into a recall and permanent repair to the brakes. Thank you
On the freeway, had to brake suddenly and now there is a constant vibration at all speeds when brakes are supplied and take longer to react...squeak.
2006 dodge charger 3.5l inconsistent performance stalling but not shutting off took to dealer on 7/25/07 the changed a brake toggle switch stall happen again today 7/26/07 @ 8pm.
Brakes squeak at low speeds, in drive or reverse.
We purchased a 2006 dodge charger rt brand new in 4/2006. At approximately 8000 miles we started hearing the brakes squeal. It came and went but at 12k we took the car in for service. We were told nothing was wrong. I told the service manager that i knew there was a pretty big issue with the brake squeal because i had done my research. We took the car back in and they replace the brake pads and resurfaced the rotors. The brakes started squealing again immediately. I was then told that it was normal and that since asbestos was outlawed that all brakes are made with more metal so they will squeak. You and i both know that that is not true ihave owned many vehicles and there brakes don't squeal. I was then told my wife drives the car to passively and the brakes are heavy duty and the car needed to be "stopped more aggressively". I tried to do the panic stop thing but it is dangerous and of coarse it made no difference. Our last contact was that they were aware of the issue, had no resolution and they would call when they did. The dealership has since gone out of business. This has got to be a safety issue. You cannot run around with your brakes squealing and have confidence that there is not something wrong. Chrylser knowsthat this is an issue and i want to lodge a formal complaint. I was told that i need to call the corporate representative and complain to them. Which i will do. However what happens to me or my family if the brakes fail. The dealer ship has kept all the parts they replaced and the service records can be retrieved of the vin. I hope that at least a record of this issue is being kept and maybe it is time to force chrysler into a recall and permanent repair to the brakes. Thank you

Severe grooving of the braking discs. Potential failure eminent.
Squeaking brakes at slow speeds, possible rotor grooves.
Brake system warping on police package dodge charger.
2006 dodge charger r/t front brake issue, at 16,000 miles rotors out of round, pads squeak. Dealer cut rotors and charged 100.00 brakes still squeaking at 19.000 miles suspect a bad compound mix in brake pads, many fellow charger owners experiencing same problem and dodge will not satisfy.
Police package vehicle.the brakes have been squealing since the car had approximately 200 miles on the odometer.current odometer reading is 2200.
Brake system warping on police package dodge charger.
The brakes on my 2006 dodge charger r/t have been squealing for the past three months, and they continue to squeal. I have taken my dodge charger to my local dealership three times for this issue and i have paid for my brake rotors to be resurfaced. I have more than 60% of brake pad life left. The dealership said that this issue is a manufacturer problem and a need for a recall is necessary. Please help.
I was approaching a stop light and applied my brakes to stop. I felt my brakes slipping as if they were pressing fully to the floor not stopping my vehicle. In result i rear ended another vehicle and that chain reacted hitting another vehicle. I took my vehicle to a brake specialist and they diagnosed the problem being the brakes needed replaced and 2 rotors needed resurfaced. My vehicle is a 2006 model. I've made the dealer aware of what happened and they said the problem will be fixed upon their diagnosis as well.
I purchased a 2006 dodge charger r/t used, with only approx. 4,500 miles on it.after driving it the remaining part of the winter (dec thru feb) and into the warmer months, i noticed that my brakes started to squeal when i would brake to slow down from up to 50 miles per hour.i had contacted the dealers service center and had them inspect the brakesand all i received was the explanation that the brakes glazed over and the only thing to do would be to turn the rotors which would have cost me over $200.i went elsewhere and had the front rotors turned for less money, however, after approx. 3 weeks the squeal came back.prior to owning this vehicle i owned a pontiac grand am whose brakes never squealed even when aftermarket brakes and rotors were put on.it would appear to me that a car of this price, would not have brakes that squeal after less than 7,000 to 11,000 miles being driven.

Brakes squeeling at low speeds.
I am concerned about the quality and safety of the brakes on my 2006 dodge charger r/t.every time i brake, i hear a loud squealing noise.my car has 10,000 miles on it.i addressed this problem to the dealership where i get my car serviced and they said it was normal for this type of brake pad.i have never owned a vehicle that has made this awful noise and i do not see how it can be normal.i am concerned that this condition will worsen and my braking system will deteriorate.
I own a 2006 dodge charger r/t that has a recurring brake problem.there is a noticeably loud sound coming from at least 2 and possibly all 4 wheel wells.when the parking brake is engaged i have intermittent slippage before the car settles.and finally, when attempting to brake i receive occasional shuddering in the car.i have attempted to take the car into three separate dodge dealerships in the dallas texas area on seven different occasions and on six of those trips was informed nothing was wrong with the brakes.on my fifth service trip a brake job was performed, but has had no effect in fixing the problem.on the subsequent two trips i was again told that nothing could be found wrong with the brakes and that the noise was normal.this problem began at the 11,000 mile mark and has been deteriorating since then (currently at 27,000 miles).if nothing is done soon, i feel that i will need to unnecessarily and unjustly purchase an entirely new brake system for my car to ensure my driving safety.
Brakes are squealing with light to moderate pressure.still has significant pad material remaining.i was informed that this was normal.many charger rt owners seem to be having this problem.
Brakes are shuttering when coming to a stop. Brake rotors and pads where getting worn down and squealing before the one year/12k miles and dealer would not fix.
I own a 2006 dodge charger daytona r/t. She is driven very little and only has 5200 miles. The brakes have already started to develop a squeal at low speeds. It is my understanding that a large amount of other 2006+ chargers also have this issue.updated 01-16-08.
Brakes fade rapidly and braking power is decreased and becomes dangerous even at low speeds.
Constant brake squeal when pushing brakes at only 6,500 miles.dodge unwilling to fix.

The front rotors on the5.72006 charger need turning.they have been squeaking for some time, and i was told the brakes were fine. Now, i am being told they need turning at my expense. The car will be a year old tomorrow.
Brake rotors are glazed and brakes squealed after about 11,000 miles, pad thickness 65% remaining.braking distances are dramtically increased as a result of the glazed rotors.
Me myself had problems out of my front rotors i had a lot of vibration in my steering wheel when i went to brake and had to switch to high performance drilled slotted rotors.
Front brake squealing @ less than 10k miles. Returned to dealer, rotors found to be warped and grooved. Dealer turned rotors.
I have a 2006 dodge charger r/t with 19,000 miles.at approx. 15,000 miles, i noticed the car shaking slightly when braking.during a recent trip through the mountains, front wheels shook violently with slight braking when descending down a mountain. Took the car to the dealer who said the rotors needed resurfacing.this vehicle is not driven hard and rotors should last longer than 15,000 miles.dodge would not cover any cost of resurfacing the rotors.mechanic at the dealer said dodge owners were having a lot of problems with the brakes on 2006 chargers.
Upon braking, i experience vibrations in the steering.took to a dealer who examined my wheels and determination is warped front rotors.i have 16, 000 miles on my car and warped rotors? service manager advised to replace rotors at consumer expense.i feel as many other dodge charger owners with the same problem, it is amanufacturer defect.
My 2006 dodge charger srt8 is just under 2 years old, with 10,500 miles. My right rear brake rotor has a constant squealing when the vehicle is in motion. This noise has increased in both frequency as well as volume.
Brakes fade rapidly and braking power is decreased and becomes dangerous even at low speeds.

I owna 2006 charger r/t. Purchasedon 12/26/2007. I currently have 3200 miles on the car and for the last 500 miles the front driver's side rotorswere squealing. Seeing that therewere so many owners with the same issuei will be calling the dealer in the morning to schedule this to be resolved.
2006 dodge charger daytona top banana developed grooves in brake rotors.at 5600 miles there is severe rotor grooving that resulted in severe brake fade that resulted in the car striking a curb since the brakes failed.

Squeaky brakes, transmission not shifting properly.
While braking the vehicle skids and pulls to left or right at slow speeds.informed dealer and dodge of issues. Has not corrected issues as of yet. 1st the dealer turned the rotors left the old pads then with in 3k miles the y replaced the rotors and left the old pads and with in the same 3k miles they machined the rotors while onto he car and then replaced the rotors with " police issue" brakes for my vehicle. I feel all of this and my vehicle only has 9500 miles on it. I feel the manufactures and should give me free brake service for the life the car apparently the vehicle has manufacturer brake issues.
My brakes have been squeaking severely since the purchase of my vehicle. I brought my car in to the service department where i bought it at, which is also my place of employment and they said it was normal and not to worry. This was almost 2000 miles ago and the car still continues to squeak. I am part of a online forum for chargers (www.chargerforums.com) and there are countless others with the same problem.

I purchased a new dodge charger r/t + rt on 7/29/06 from westoaks dodge in thousand oaks, ca. Starting at around 1500 miles, i noticed a squealingsound from what sounds like the front passenger wheel. This sound seems to happen on a consistent basis when braking lightly. I waited to see ifthe problem would go away. The problem persisted and so i brought it into westoaks dodge service department on 10/16/06. After westoaks inspected,they returned the vehicle to me in the same state and told me that thebrake noise is normal and they would not service the car unless daimler chrysler approved.i then submitted my problem to dodge customer support at http://www.dodge.com on 10/17/06 and received the following reply on 10/24/06 (paraphrased):unfortunately, given the many variables involved, we are unable to diagnose your vehicle's problem via email.we recommend contacting your authorized daimlerchrysler dealership to arrange an appointment for proper diagnosis and repair.if you have been working with an authorized dealership but the problem is not yet resolved, seeking a second opinion from a different dealer may be a viable option.senior staff representative chrysler group customer assistance center reference number: 15560270email case number:1546160basically, to me this sounds like another exercise in futility and to waste time and money bringing my car in to another dealer to hear the same thing.my conversation with the other dealer in my area has not added to my confidence. As a business owner myself, i know that i must stand behindmy products or i will not be successful. Consumers are much toosophisticated to be told that a problem is "normal" when they can find many comparable products without this problem. If i told my customers this iwould not be successful for very long. Please help me in resolving this matter.
I was driving my car and the brakes have had a slight noise to them.not so much a squeak.now today while driving i pushed my brakes pedal down and it pushed back.i asked a mechanic at my job.i work for fedex and he told me that the rotors needed to be turned.
Front rotor warping and front rotor premature deterioration. I took my 2006 dodge charger daytona in at 600 miles with premature rotor gouging. I was told by keene dodge in jarrestsville md that this was normal. I believed and told them no way it was a normal problem with a vehicle. They took the car back to their service area. After a short visit to the service area i was told by the service writer that nothing was wrong with it. I was not happy, but what is one to do in a situation where one is blown off. I drove the car the way it was and kind of ignored the problem. Well it got worse as the miles went by until while braking the car had shaking at highway braking along with pulsating. I took the car to cook motorcars of aberdeen md and at first was told this was a normal situation. I again objected. I made an appointment. My car now had 7900 miles on it. I dropped the car off while i was at work and called around 1pm and was told that the rotors were indeed warped. The service writer told me that they tried to turn the rotors and when they did there was not enough metal left for safe braking. They replaced the rotors, with the same kind that was on the vehicle when i purchased it. I belong to the dodge charger forums and there are 100's of charger owners having the same problems and are being told this is normal. Here is a link to my thread on the forums and you can read all the complaints that i have gotten. This needs to be addressed because there are dodge charger owners who are paying for this apparent defect on our cars. Http://www.chargerforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=23835i want the public to know about this complaint as chrysler needs to address this and address this now.

Ever since i have bought my 2006 dodge charger sxt i have had a strong vibration in my breaks, it shakes my steering wheel, and whole car, i have taken it to the dealer several times only to be told that it was normal for new cars to break like that, well on my last service the people told me that my rotors are warped and thati am going to need to replace them soon, i dont have the breaking power than i feel is safe. I am a united states army soldier stationed in germany so my options are slightly limited as to what to do. Can you please help me? my vin number is as follows [xxx] please help me out with this, i have talked to other charger owners and they said that their breaks are doing the same thing.

Brake rotors warped....have been since about 20,000 miles.brakes have been squealing longer than that.i understand that the upgraded chargers are being swapped out for slotted rotors because this is a known issue.i can't keep replacing parts on this car due to manufacturer defects.
Noisy brakes that dealership has not replaced or fixed.
Police package vehicle.the brakes have been squealing since the car had approximately 200 miles on the odometer.current odometer reading is 2200.

Brake problems
2006 dodge charger r/t been having front brake problems since i bought the car. Have complained to the dealer several time and they have acknowledge 2006 dodge charger r/t been having front brake problems since i bought the car. Brake vibrations, rattling noises, squeaks, and brake fade. Have complained to the dealer several times. The first few time was told nothing was wrong. But now they have acknowledged this is a problem and replace my rotors for free. On week later the problem returns.

Brake squealing!!!i have a 2006 dodge charger daytona r/t and i only have about 9k miles on it.but about a month ago i notice a squealing on my brakes.everytime i coming out of my drive way, and after a stop at the light, etc.... Seems to happen also, about a 40 mph.so,i took to the dealer because is still under warranty.and they said that is caused by a panic braking.i don't drive this car the much and i don't brake hard.but you would it think that a 40k + car would have a better brake system on it,because doesn't matter how you brake is a problem.i really don't feelsafe braking. Here's what it says on the receipt :cause: rotors out of specs.road tested and inspected.trued surface of all 4 rotors, cleaned.
Rotors are grooving.
Front driver's side brake rotor is grooved.breaks squeal.car only has 12000 miles. Yet brakes that are to last 50-10000 miles are already in danger of premature failure. Rotors neededto be replacedby manufacturer. A tsb identified it as a defect and not a recall.
Front brakes are requiring a resurface for the second time in 11,000 miles.dealership will only cover brakes for 12,000 miles.this seems like a problem that should not happen to a performance vehicle.i have had no issues like this on any other vehicle.
I own a 2006 dodge charger r/t that has a recurring brake problem.there is a noticeably loud sound coming from at least 2 and possibly all 4 wheel wells.when the parking brake is engaged i have intermittent slippage before the car settles.and finally, when attempting to brake i receive occasional shuddering in the car.i have attempted to take the car into three separate dodge dealerships in the dallas texas area on seven different occasions and on six of those trips was informed nothing was wrong with the brakes.on my fifth service trip a brake job was performed, but has had no effect in fixing the problem.on the subsequent two trips i was again told that nothing could be found wrong with the brakes and that the noise was normal.this problem began at the 11,000 mile mark and has been deteriorating since then (currently at 27,000 miles).if nothing is done soon, i feel that i will need to unnecessarily and unjustly purchase an entirely new brake system for my car to ensure my driving safety.
1. In october only 5 months after buying my '06 charger i noticed a lot of noice coming from the brakes.2.in november i took it in to the dealer and they said everything was fine that it mainly should happen when it gets colder.3.i took it in last week in march and told them that it has been 75 degrees and up and that they still make noice at any speed.they said that there is nothing wrong with my brakes.after looking at other similar cases i am now assured that this is a big problem with other vehicles like mine and that they need to fixed!!
Every time you fill up the gas tank the car wants to stall. I'm told there is a solenoid in the gas tank that fails and it lets raw fuel go to the evap canister causing a stall condition. This solenoid valve is molded into the gas tank and the only way to fix it is to replace the gas tank. This stall can happen while your sitting at a stop light or just pulling out into an intersection. The intersection situation is very dangerous.
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.
Within blocks of leaving a fuel station and filling with fuel the vehicle stumbled then the engine died while traveling 35 mph on a city stream in the rain. Car was difficult to stop because of no power steering or power brakes.
I filled up with gas in california when on vacation. I pulled out of the gas station and onto the freeway. About a minute after merging and getting up to speed the entire car shut off. No power, no power steering, completely died.i had to merge through two lanes of highway traffic at highway speeds to get out of the flow of traffic. Car was able to restart after putting it in park and waiting several minutes.huge safety concern having the vehicle completely shut off on me. I have had four other instances of this happen to me. The other times i was on side streets or in the parking lot waiting for the car to die.
This is not the first time this has happened and this is flat out dangerous! after driving all day i was almost out of gas so i stopped at one of my regularly used gas stations. As like i always do when i get gas i got a full tank and i do not overfill, once the handle pops i'm done pumping. Vehicle started fine and i drove off the gas station with no problems. Once on the main road i approached my first turn and in mid turn going about 20mph my vehicle just stalled,no warning or nothing it just randomly stalled. Once the car rolled off the main street i put it in park and tried to start it up again. No luck, the vehicle wouldn't start. It took a few tries but managed to get it running again. To my surprise i didn't have a check engine light so i sat there for a while revving the engine and even shut it off and restarted it, everything seemed fine so i went on my way. Shortly after i drove off it happened again and this time i was just driving straight. From the gas station to my home is about 10min and in that short time frame the vehicle randomly stalled 4 times! this went on for a few days until my fuel lvl was about 3/4 full? after researching online on dodge forums i was able to find out what may and most likely be the issue with my vehicle. Some say its a collapsed gas tank which affects a check valve in the gas tank that is for the evap system. When you have a full tank and the system opens up to release gas vapors back into the engine it's actually sending raw fuel back into the engine which in turn floods the vehicle and causes the stall. Of course this part can't be replaced or fixed since the tank and those parts are sold as one piece which is big $$$! my only fix for this until this is recalled is i don't get a full tank anymore. This is a serious and dangerous issue which should be recalled immediately before someone gets into a serious accident.
Vehicle stalled multiple times while coming to a stop.hard to start after stalling. Just filled the gas tank, and car stalled two or three times getting from the gas station to home.car stalled the next morning three times, again hard to start.
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, onhighway 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.
At 18,500 we had to replace the left front outer tie rod end.now at 33,000 we are being told the same thing.i have on line and see that there are quite a few others with this same problem.this is a serious issue and would like something done as far as a review or something.one gentleman was going 55 mph when his broke and they crashed.i don't want this to be me nor do we have over $400 to put towards this car every 15k miles.
Car stalls and engine shuts down, loss of steering while either sitting still or driving at higher speeds. This has happened on numerous occasions after adding fuel to the car.
Our 2006 dodge charger was showing symptoms of the wheels being out of alignment, and we had it checked out by a mechanic.we knew what he was going to say before he came back with his assessment; its the tie rods once again.we have had problems with the tie rods on this car from the 3rd month of owning it.we have had it fixed by the dealer 3 times along with new brakes and tires at the cost of $2,000 each time.we drive 20 miles a day to and from work, there is no reason for the tie rods to be replaced.i have complained to the dealership and they told me that it is an issue that we will continue to have and there is nothing we can do about it. He had 4 chargers in that day with the same issue. I contacted chrysler 2 days ago because we need to have the tie rods fixed for the 4th time.they told me they would forward my complaint to the product development team.chrysler needs to own up to the defective products they are selling!i'm afraid for our family of 4 to ride in this car.do people have to die before an investigation is warranted? i want to get rid of this car but i hate to pawn it off on another family, its dangerous!please do an investigation, and ask dealerships and mechanics how many defective tie rods they place on these cars a day.
After filling the gas tank up, i left the gas station and the car stalled out 7 times. This continues to happen every time i fill the tank up. The steering also goes out. The car has a hard time starting back up once it happens. It happened on the highway also.
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.
I bought my 2006 dodge charger r/t brand new in june of 2006.i always filled the tank with gas until the pump automatically shutoff.i never topped off with gas or continued filling the tank once the pump would automatically stop.this was never a problem for 5 years.last year in october of 2011 at around 73,000 miles the car would stall and turn off the engine occasionally right after filling up in live traffic usually at a stop light or parking lot driveway.i would have to put the transmission shifter from drive to park since the vehicle shut off and restart the car with no problem.today at 75,600 miles on march 27, 2012; i filled up as usual and the car engine turned off in traffic on 3 different occasions.i read on chrysler owners' forums online this is a common problem with plenty of chrysler vehicles and chrysler is aware of it.the fix is a whole new fuel tank with a better fuel vapor valve and the cost would run $1300-$2000 for various car, van, and truck owners.the only other method i was advised by a dodge service advisor was not to fill the car up all the way, perhaps to 3/4 of a tank full.this is dangerous for any driver when a car engine stops, steering locks, and there is traffic behind you.some drivers will not know how to react in this situation.chrysler should offer a recall to fix this problem with the gas tank instead of charging the owner.
This isn't the 1st time that the engine has stalled after filling the fuel tank.most recent episode happened as i was preparing to enter the gas stations drive-thru car wash...i had my foot on the brake to enter the code for the wash and just as i started to move forward the engine stalled.happened a couple of months ago on the public right of way, i was stoppedat a red light (just after a fuel up and just before i was about to enter the freeway).another time i was in motion and it stalled in the middle of a busy intersection.the stalling affects the transmission.the engine is warm when this occurs.it takes about 3 attempts to successfully restart.
After i filled up on gas i drove out of the station and a block later while traveling 35 mph mycar completely turned off and the oil light came on. I could not steer or brake. I got out of the road put it in park and it started right up. I decided to drive two blocks farther to the oil change place and it did it again just died while driving down a busy street but started right up. I took it to a mechanic who could not find any codes or any problems.
Vehicle stalls several times immediately after fueling.i am not topping off the tank, or even completely filling the tank.this happens every time i put gas in the car.
So my car began to stall after filling it up with gas. Most of the time it stalled while stopped. A few times while in motion. Since the car dies i have lost power steering.
After filling tank 2006 dodge charger rt v8 stalled multiple times. First two still sitting at pump, next at intersection while turning right and also lost power steering, next at parking space while straightening out. Serious safety hazard, especially at intersections or stalling in traffic. Found nhtsa pe13016 regarding this issue, but i see it is closed and was only issued to certain vins. All affected models should be covered for the tank replacement and associated 'float' and vapor purge valve.
Right after leaving the gas station from filling up my cars' gas tank my engine stalled when i came to a stop on a very busy intersection. I was able to start it again but it turned off on me again, repeated the process twice until the light changed and i was able to make it home. Drove around my neighborhood making multiple stops to see it if happened again in which the engine only turned off once more.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the power steering assist failed and the steering wheel completely detached from the steering column. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the tie rod on the front passenger side was cracked. As a result, the inner and outer tie rods, as well as the control arm would need replacing. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure who did not offer any assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The vin was not available. The failure mileage was 85,000 and the current mileage was 114,000.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 15 mph and approaching a stop sign, the headlights flashed off and on and a pop sound emitted from the brake pedal. The contact attempted to accelerate, but an abnormal sound emitted from the rear tires and smoke appeared. Also, the abs light illuminated and the power steering and power brakes failed. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000.
Reference pe13-016after filling up the fuel tank, very shortly driving down the road the car will stall.this has happened at least 4 times now and with other incidents of the vehicle trying to stall at high speeds on the interstate (65-70 mph), with at least 2 incidents at an intersection where i fill up at a station frequently.this is a huge safety concern, if this does happen as i am going through an intersection with a loss of brakes or steering, it could easily result in an accident and injury.
Immediately after fueling vehicle to regular capacity and automatic shutoff - no "topping off". Left the filling station and the car stalled several times, each time in a precarious position such as decelerating to make a turn or coming to a stop at a light.car dies losing power steering and breaks.thought this might be bad gas but it has since repeated every time the car is refueled.this is becoming a serious safely concern as the condition is common during the first 50 or so miles of driving after a fill up.upon speaking with the dealer they blamed the issue on the end user overfilling the tank.as the only user of the vehicle it is never overfilled nor topped off.
Had my vehicle in for routine maintenance.i have been noticing clunking from the steering wheel and shaking problems at highway speeds. Dealer inspected car and found left and right ball joints cracked and broken power steering line, along with a broken tie rod on the left side. I find this very difficult to digest as the car doesn't even have 25,000 miles on it, it is never driven in snow,and is constantly in my garage. This car is driven on average of 4,000 miles a year, and mainly on the interstate when it is driven. Now i am facing a 1500.00 repair bill to replace these parts. After doing some research, i have found others have needed to do this same repair numerous times on their vehicles as well. I think chrysler should step forward and admit that these parts are defective. There aren't even any lubrication zerks to help prevent future issues with this. Now that spring is here i wanted to get the car ready for summer, now we are afraid to drive it until it gets fixed, but according to what i have found, i can expect to have this done again in another 25,000 miles. I don't think this is right.
I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times to have issues fixed.each time i got the car back, it was worse.i had 13 issues originally with the car.i ended up suing, and got a very small settlement- dodge refused to cooperate.i still have each and every problem, and do not know what else to do.my car dies while in reverse, the brakes malfunction constantly, the window panel remains broken due to their inept work, the radio cuts off, the dash lights die @ night, etc.i would truly appreciate it if someone could actually help me.i do not know what else to do.i love my car dearly, but something needs to be done.the date i put as date of incident is when this all started.
After fueling my 2006 dodge charger r/t, the car will begin to sputter and completely shut-off. This results in the loss of power steering and having to put the car into park in order to restart. It will occurmultiple times, sometimes while idling, before it will begin to act normally.it has been happening for several months. At first, it was sporadic but now it is everytime i fill up the gas tank. It can be very dangerous as it can happen anytime and without warning.
I am about to file a lemon law complaint because dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 dodge charger r/t, since day four of my ownership.i have owned this car for 68 days and of those, i have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days.they have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate".the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission.of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks.i happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car.additionally, i have taken my car to two different mechanics (one dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions.i would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution.
Fueled the car, car stalled several times while driving.happens each time car is fueled. I have tried fueling slowly, and fueling small amounts, nothing works.car will stall 2-3 times either while sitting or while driving.
While merging onto the interstate my engine shut completely off; i lost power steering and all throttle control.after pulling onto the side of the road i was able to turn the ignition on and drive away like normal. I have a 5.7l hemi and the car has 37,700 miles.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving various speeds, the steering wheel shook violently. There were no warning indicators illuminated. While driving various speeds, the contact heard a clicking noise underneath the vehicle. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road, turned the vehicle off, and restarted it and was able to drive. Vehicle was taken to hendrick dodge (81 mackenan dr, cary nc 27511, (919) 439-5394) where an alignment was completed; however, the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the steering column needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 300,000.
In the 2006 dodge charger r/t the car will completely turn off if the gas is full or close to full. This is a well known issue with the r/t model. Dodge has known of this issue for years and also the dealerships. After filling the tank the vehicle will turn off in turn losing power steering brakes and engine power even while your foot is on the gas pedal. I have almost gotten into accidents due to this. I took my vehicle to the dodge dealerships and was told that this is a known problem and dodge refuses to call a recall.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, the power steering assist failed followed by the vehicle stalling. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis and the contact was informed that the fuel tank would need to be replaced.the manufacturer was notified and they offered to cover seventy-five percent of the repair cost. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 75,000 and the current mileage was 102,000.
After filling the gas tank, the car would stumble, miss and start jerking.was making a 90 degree right hand turn and the car shut off.in the middle of the turn, i had no power steering nor brakes.fortunately, there were no oncoming cars as i ended up on the wrong side of the street.car restarted and ran a few feet before the stumbling, jerking and missing started to occur once again.after reading up on this problem, i had the gas tank replaced, as it (the tank) had all of the signs of a bad "roll-over" valve.this valve is molded into the gas tank and is non-replaceable.once the tank was replaced, the problem has gone away and have not had an issue since.
Problem occurred and continues to occur after filling up the gas tank.first instance was in november 2010 and most recently december 2013.car will stall numerous times until some amount of gas is burned off after driving.first instance occurred making a turn in front of a railroad track.other instances have been on a freeway in heavy traffic causing me to have to pull over.car can restart on the first re-attempt or take up to 4 attempts.car will usually stall again seconds later.a workaround is not to fill up the tank all the way (to the auto shutoff of the gas pump) but this doesn't always work.this is with a 2006 dodge charger with a 5.7 liter hemi.chrysler denied the issue back in 2010 although the problem was starting to be documented on the internet at that time.
I have a 2006 dodge daytona charger r/t. 28881 miles 3 yrs and 3 months old.just replaced passenger sideoutside tie rod end and need to replace tension strut also on passenger side. Now i need to check other tie rod ends because i think there going bad also.also passenger side shock is leaking.this should not be happening to a vehicle at 3 yrs old and 28881 miles. Car is not driven hard.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the vehicle was taken to a repair shop and while being test driven, the mechanic found a failure with the steering. The mechanic stated that the vehicle had a telescopic steering system. As a result, whenever it was in a forward position the vehicle failed to turn since it was in contact with a metal piece. The vehicle was taken to dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 97,065.
I had just filled my gas tank and pulled on to a busy road. As i approached the stoplight the vehicle just died. It did not start right back up , it took 3 different tries. This has now happened 4 times. All times were after i filled up at the gas station.
I took my car in to the dealer for an alignment and they had to replace the tie rod assembly on both wheels. My car had just turned 50,000 miles.
In the last year i have had to have the front tie rods replaced three time.
After filling up with fuel my charger will stall. It has happened 5 or 6 separate occasions over the past 2 years. I generally do not fill the car up all the way because of this. However just today i had the same problem after accidentally filling it. I do not top off the car when filling once the nozzle clicks off i stop. Today after getting gas i went to pull out into traffic and the car stalled. The power steering would not work the engine shut off and i was stranded halfway out into the lane of oncoming traffic. I put the car in park and restarted it and drove about 20 feet before it shut off again. This is a huge safety issue. I thought i was going to be hit. I did manage to get the car home which is about two miles away but i had to restart it four more times. I've got roughly 80,000 miles on the car i have always kept up with maintenance and with any repairs that needed to be done. I searched online to see if there was a recall for this problem but there doesn't seem to be even though a lot of people seem to be having the same problem not only with the chargers but with three hundreds as well
While driving on the highway in traffic at approximately 70 mph the car stalled with no check engine light or engine misfire/stuttering.the stall was as if the key was turned to the off position.the car coasted to the side of the road, restart was attempted and the car started perfectly, i continued to drive.the car stalled again after a few miles, restarted and it stalled again - this continued, each time with the time driven being less.all this time the check engine light did not illuminate.i finally made it to a shop where the car was diagnosed and the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor was replaced.this did not solve the stalling issue.the car will have the pcm replaced in hope that this will solve the problem.this is a very unsafe failure especially when traveling at high speeds - the car loses all power and is very difficult to move into the shoulder when it stalls (no power steering).this is a very serious safety concern that can be catastrophic.
After fueling my dodge charger, i drove down the road from the gas station and my car stalled. It started a few attempts later. This is the 5th time it has occurred.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the there was an abnormal noise coming from the brakes and there was an abnormal smell near the tie rod. In addition, the vehicle could not be shifted out of park. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the tie rod needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags) however, the part to do the repair was unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 59,300.
Dodge charger.rotor/brake trouble.squeaking during 5-15mph, and violent vehicle shaking when stopping during 30+mph.
I filled up with gas, pulled out of the gas station onto the expressway on ramp and the engine died.i rolled to the shoulder and after about 10 minutes it would finally start.it stalled a few more times then finally it would run long enough to get me home.
My car completely shut off when i pulled into the turning lane. The steering wheellocked up and i had no control. Once at a complete stop, i was able to start the car normally and everything was normal. This has happened to me previously but i was actually driving at a higher speed and with my child inside!!. Apparently i am not the only one with this problem as i have read that this was happening to many dodge drivers that had 2006 models.
I purchased my dodge charger in august of 06. At 22,316 miles, i started experiencing a clunking in the front end. The left outer tie rod needed to be replaced. It was covered by the warranty. I purchased the extended warranty for 5/50,000. At 51,972 the clunking returned. The remaining tie rods, inner and outer, including the one that was replaced at 22,316 had to be replaced. As of now my car has 67,800 miles on it and in between 51,972 and 67,800 miles, the clunking has returned several times. I have had a left control arm, lower ball joint, sway bar link, control arm bushings, rt and lt tension struts and sway bar bushings all replaced. I think for a car with only 67,000 miles on it...... This is way too many problems, especially when all the problems are in one area of the car. It sure would be great if dodge would own up to these front end problems and stand by their product and help the american consumers out with the repair bills.
1. We have been experiencing steering and driving problems such as making a right turn the steering wheel locks up or wants to go straight(this being the worst so far).over the past 2 months the cars front end has been gradually been getting worse.
After filling up, my car engine stalls. I took it to the mechanic and was told chrysler knows about it. I looked it up on your site and indeed found pe13016 but disagree with the finding being that it is a low safety issue. This has happened multiple times where i would be in the middle of traffic and the engine stalls and shuts off and the steering locks up where i can't steer the car whatsoever. The mechanic told me that it was due to a fuel vapor lock in which the evap valve stays open and due to it, the engine runs rich because of the fuel. I was told not to overfill in which i have stopped, however, this happens just by filling up. I have had to rev the engine to burn off gas until the engine stops stalling. Every time, i've stopped traffic in the middle of the road and it has happened at night as well where visibility is low and almost got hit because my car stalled. It has also happened right before turning in a busy intersection and thankful that it happened right before i made the turn. Every time it has happened i've been in motion on a city street and a few times on a highway but every time i was about to turn. The first time it happened, i didn't know and got the tow truck to tow the car and had the police to come behind me because in his words, i was in an unsafe location, so that no other oncoming vehicles would hit me. The date that i placed on when it happened is the last date it has happened thus far as of this writing.
Car stalled at stop light.took a few tries to get started again.this happens after refueling the car.this is not the first time this has occurred, i am irritated that it keeps happening.
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 2006 dodge charger has began to stall after a gas fill-up. It is very scary because it does not matter how fast you are driving. I had it stall about 5 times after filling up today. One in which i was going 40 mph. The steering wheel locks up and it is very dangerous. I am very concerned for the safety if myself and family.
I was ready to leave work for the night and my car would not shift out of park we tried to use the emergency release button on the side of the gear shift but it didn't work.i called a mechanic and he came out googled the problem and saw that it may have been a shifter assembly defect,as he looked at the assembly there was noted to b a cable wire the was also dislodged,he advised me to have the car towed to a dodge dealer for repair.the car was taken to the dealership and the entire shifter assembly and cable had to be installed.
Takata recallthe suspension is shot. I am having to replace the my tires due to the bushings being junk and have ate my tires away on the inside down to the metal due to the toe positioning being incorrect. The control arms have been changed, but i am in fear the rear camber may be completely out. Also, sometimes my car does not want to turn over, but yet the battery, starter and alternator are fine. Also, my electrical system is a mess. I can't roll down my window unless i shut off my air or heat. Then when i turn on my air or heat all my interior lights go out. Plus, sometimes my tachometer doesn't want to work. I have replaced the engine and transmission, it is always maintained, but yet i feel like i am about to have to dump thousands of dollars into this cheaply made suspension. I have seen several charger owners of the same year stating they have had these issues and if a recall can not be done then a class action lawsuit should be put into motion. I'm hoping dodge will give us a chance to keep their customers, because at this morning i am ready to give up. I have always been a dodge fan, but this time, on my favorite looking car, you all have dropped the ball!
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.
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.
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.
The problem startedwhen i bought it brand new and kept bringing back to the dealer.failure to find problem.notice a lot of other customers having the same problem.brought car to an expert and found the suspension which includes shocks, struts, brakes etc. Were not the right part for this model.expert changed necessary parts and have not had a problem there after.expert did research and dealer wanted to know what he did to fix it and he would not comply.they should do the research and fix the problem.i hope everyone files a complaint and i would tell dodge they fix it or i will file a defect lawsuit for complete refund of a $42,000 car plus inconvenience.
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 fuelupon acceleration causes the engine to stall and lose effected drive systems.this is ludicrous from chrysler how many deaths has this caused!?!?
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the tie rod that controlled the steering fractured while driving 40 mph around a curve. There was a clunking noise which caused the steering to become uncontrollable. The vehicle had to be pulled to the curb while the contact pumped the brake pedal to come to a complete stop. After the vehicle was stopped, the front driver side tire was protruding inward. The vehicle was towed to a repair shop where the contact was awaiting diagnosis of the failure. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer werr contacted. The failure mileage was 113,163.
The vehicle stalls while driving, no matter the speed, and the power steering goes out when vehicle stalls preventing me from being able to steer the vehicle. This has happened several times, even on the interstate with other fast moving vehicles behind me, and is very dangerous. I have had different parts replaced trying to fix the problem, and was told the entire fuel tank will have to be replaced to solve the problem. I went online to see if other dodge owners experienced the same problem, and was amazed at the thousands of people complaining about the exact same thing. This website is one of many. Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t4117_ds539199 the problem seems to start after 90,000 miles. There should be a recall to fix this problem before someone gets killed.
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 have a dodge charger rt 06. I took it to the dealership a year ago to replace a part on the front end. There was a noise coming from the front end. Now recently, i almost got into an accident because brakes almost didn't stop me in time and i wasn't speeding. Before all of this, when i speed up, the front end and steering wheel shakes or wobbles and this has me worried. If by chance i encounter bad weather, because i do live in michigan, i hope something on the charger doesn't fail when i need it the most. To of my friends have also experience problems with 300 c's and chargers.
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.
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.
Vehicle stalled after refueling, in traffic.
After filling up the gas tank, within minutes i was turning left in an intersection when the engine stopped and the steering became very difficult and an accident was barely avoided. This was extremely dangerous because of oncoming traffic. In fact i was almost struck by two vehicles, one coming at me and the other behind me. I restarted the car, drove through the intersection for about 5-10 seconds and the car stopped again, same steering difficulties. Started the car a third time and it moved forward with no more stops. This has happened at least 20 more time in the past 3 years. Additionally, within the past 6 months, it has been very difficult to put fuel into the tank. It would take about 20 minutes because the nozzle would shut off. I could only put in very small amounts each squeeze of the handle. I find this not only annoying but also question the design of the whole fuel receiving and storage system of this vehicle. I have asked my local dodge dealership about the problems and was advised that a new gas tank would have to be installed for approximately $1,200! a new gas tank? that would confirm in my mind that these problems are caused absolutely by a design flaw and should be recalled and repaired asap before there are fatalities linked to this flaw.
This incident started occurring in september of 2014 but i always thought it was a "hiccup" and never really paid it any mind until it starting happening much more frequently. After i fill up my gas tank (i don't over fill) my car has intermittent engine stalls causing me to lose throttle response and my power steering. Sometimes the car has enough rpm to restart the motor but most of the time i have to shift to neutral and turn the key to restart. This is happening while driving down the interstate!! scares me to death. Now i have this stalling issue every single time i fill up. When slowing down is when the incident is most prevalent but even taking turns its happened and i lose power steering. This is a safety issue.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.the current mileage on the vehicle is 15,500.when driving 60 mph or higher the entire vehicle vibrates.the vehicle had been taken to the dealer for this reason; however the dealer had been unable to duplicate the problem. The contact did not want to guess the failure mileage.
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 vehicle described in this form has had the right tie rod ends replaced twice within a year by a certified dodge dealership using mopar parts.4/15/2010 the right tie rod end was replaced with tie rod end part number 52013468-ac and hex nut part number 6505623-aa with only 29,458 miles on the vehicle.12/16/2010 the right tie rod end was replaced with tie rod end part number 52013468-ad and hex nut part number 6505623-aa with only 38,954 miles on the vehicle. The defective right tie rod ends were found during routine maintenance performed prior to a front end alignment.
After filling gas tank, engine hesitates and/or stalls.i only fill up until the fuel pump automatically shuts off, i do not add any more fuel than that.this has happened almost every time i have filled up with fuel.most of the stalling/hesitation occurs when coasting or decelerating (coming to a stop).this has created multiple very dangerous situations due to the engine not running and i have a loss of the power assist to the steering.occasionally the engine has a difficult time restarting after the engine stalls.this will occur approximately 4-8 times after a fill-up of fuel.
I have had an issue with my car stalling and it seems there are many others with the same issue. The fact that this is not being looked at as a safety concern is beyond me. Just because you don't reach 90mph when it stalls does not mean accidents will not occur. If i am turning into a street and traffic is coming in my direction and i stall should i just "restart" my vehicle in hopes that someone doesn't t-bone me? sounds like a bad plot to the start of a movie. Just do the right thing here and fix this world wide issue and let us move on with our muscular cars!
Immediately after fueling vehicle to regular capacity and automatic shutoff - no "topping off". Left the filling station and the car stalled several times, each time in a precarious position such as decelerating to make a turn or coming to a stop at a light.car dies losing power steering and breaks.thought this might be bad gas but it has since repeated every time the car is refueled.this is becoming a serious safely concern as the condition is common during the first 50 or so miles of driving after a fill up.upon speaking with the dealer they blamed the issue on the end user overfilling the tank.as the only user of the vehicle it is never overfilled nor ?topped off?.
The car suddenly stalled and engine turned off. The steering was locked and was unable to move. I was turning into my subdivision when suddenly this happened. I was probably around 5 mph. Luckily there was no car behind me. I was able to put the car in park and start it and drive home without issue. The second time it got stalled when the same day i had to take my son to one of his class. When i was stopped at the light, the car stalled. This time it took few tries to get the car started. Once it started, the rpm was fluctuating as if it was starving for fuel. Since other complains have references to this happening after filling up gas, i want to mentioned that i had filled the gas the day before and i must have drove 20 or so miles before this happened first 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 outisde of the tires. When took the vehicle back into chrysler dodge jeep dealer service department they advised i will probably soon be needing new tire rod ends and this is what may have caused my front tires to wear so easily. Especially purchasing the car used in july 2010 with all brand new tires and now needing to replace all four and its only december 2011. Service department manager advised this was a big issue with the early model chargers but chrysler still has yet to issue a recall. I prolonged taking the vehicle in to purchase new tire rods. I went in recently for an oil change and the service manager advised me i no longer need to be driving my vehicle with the rods i have on. It was a recommendation earlier but now he is highly advising me not to drive. Within 3 oil changes the rods have diminished greatly. Something needs to be done chrysler is letting the purchasers take the butt-end of this issue.
While i was driving approximately 35 mph my vehicle suddenly stalled causing me to lose power to the motor and power to the steering and brakes. I had toquickly pull off to the side of the road as the traffic was heavy and i had no power to control my car. This was a dangerous situation and i fear it may happen again. I have read about (dodge charger forum) many other owners of similar vehicles that this problem occurs shortly after you fill up the gas tank. I did just fill the gas tank prior to my car stalling incident. I feel this is a dangerous defect that develops on this vehicle and it needs to be looked into immediately.
2006 charger rt front end i have replaced inner and outer tie rod ends and a wheel bearing over 61k miles. The front end wobbles badly at high speed. Parts (tension struts) are national back order etc etc.any dealer and/or local service station will tell you that there front ends are very weak and not durable. The components last for just about themin warrant (3/36) period.
Dodge cavalier had a faulty shifter and dealer acknowledges that it could not be fixed.had it fixed , and it went out again within 24 hours of pick up the vehicle. Mechanics told me that they will fix it,but it will go out again.
The power steering rack inthe 2006 dodge chargerwas making a whinning noise and wasvery hard to steer. Brought it in to the certified dealership and was expected to pay $1200 to replace the power steering pump and rack. Thiswas absurd, the cars' warrant ywas36000 miles, my car is at 39,000 miles. This was unfair, and after researching other consumers with the 2.7 litre engine expierenced the same problem, this should be recalled. Instances of this problem have even resulted in death. I'm very upset.

In the last 2 months my son had mentioned to me that he thought my chargermight be having a transmission problem.i had also noticed and mentioned it to the service department when i had my oil changed and tires rotated.they checked the fluids, etc, but found nothing of concern.on tuesday, nov 27, 2007 i drove about 60 miles to cincinnati for a doctor's appointment and to take an elderly friend to lunch.after i arrived with in the 275 by-pass loop i traveled mostly on local roads at speeds of 30-45 pmh.when returning my friend to her apartment for some reason i did not hop in the freeway, which i usually do.i took a cross cut road that i had not taken for over a year. As i pulled into the apartment parking space the car seemed to be straining as if the brake were on.when i backed up to leave, the car barely moved.i got out and walked around the car but saw nothing unusual.i again tried to back out with the same difficulty.i then decided i would drive the car around the parking lot before i attempted to drive on the highway.when i again backed up there was a clang.this time when i walked around the car the right front tire was at a sharp angle but the other three tires were not.i looked under the car behind this wheel andsaw the problem.the tie rod was hanging down on the asphalt.i did not move the car again and immediately called for a tow truck from my home town.when checked, it was determined that the connector for the tie rod (to the wheel) had worn down.the other front wheel was checked and the same wear was found.i had both replaced and have the two damaged tie rods.needless to say, i was very relieved that i was not driving at a high speed. Because my car is a 2006, this seems to be an unusual situation.it could explain why i had to replace all 4 tires at around 34,000 miles.hopefully this was just a fluke, but i felt it was important to report in case this is a product defect.

I was in the center lane of traffic when i noticed a car coming up from behind me.to avoid getting hit i attempted to throttle down on the gas pedal to pass a car in the slow lane and get in front of him to avoid thespeeder coming up behind me. In doing so i heard a snapping sound. I was able to get in the right lane(slow lane) and pull into a restaurant parking lot. I got out of my car and to my amazement saw my entire gas pedal assembly lying on the floor of my car. I was also amazed to see that the entire mounting bracket for the gas pedal is made of either a plastic or resin compound and from what i can tell so is the brake assembly. This does not seem like a strong enough material to be used on such crucial parts. The car was towed to my dealer and the pedal assembly is going to be replaced with the same part. I will be asking for the old part back.
2006 dodge charger.consumer writes in regards to faulty ignition switch. 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. Updated 08/28/14
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.

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!
I am about to file a lemon law complaint because dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 dodge charger r/t, since day four of my ownership.i have owned this car for 68 days and of those, i have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days.they have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate".the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission.of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks.i happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car.additionally, i have taken my car to two different mechanics (one dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions.i would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution.

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the vehicle shook and knocked excessively at low and high rates of speed. In addition, when the vehicle was at a complete stop, it hesitated several times and lunged forward. The contact had to apply the brake pedal with force to ensure that the vehicle came to a complete stop. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact later received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 15v313000 (air bags) 16v352000, but had to wait for the second notice to determine when the parts would become available. The approximate failure mileage was 14,200. Parts distribution disconnect. Vin tool confirms parts not available.
In the last year i have had to have the front tie rods replaced three time.
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.
Our 2006 dodge charger was showing symptoms of the wheels being out of alignment, and we had it checked out by a mechanic.we knew what he was going to say before he came back with his assessment; its the tie rods once again.we have had problems with the tie rods on this car from the 3rd month of owning it.we have had it fixed by the dealer 3 times along with new brakes and tires at the cost of $2,000 each time.we drive 20 miles a day to and from work, there is no reason for the tie rods to be replaced.i have complained to the dealership and they told me that it is an issue that we will continue to have and there is nothing we can do about it. He had 4 chargers in that day with the same issue. I contacted chrysler 2 days ago because we need to have the tie rods fixed for the 4th time.they told me they would forward my complaint to the product development team.chrysler needs to own up to the defective products they are selling!i'm afraid for our family of 4 to ride in this car.do people have to die before an investigation is warranted? i want to get rid of this car but i hate to pawn it off on another family, its dangerous!please do an investigation, and ask dealerships and mechanics how many defective tie rods they place on these cars a day.
Takata recallthe suspension is shot. I am having to replace the my tires due to the bushings being junk and have ate my tires away on the inside down to the metal due to the toe positioning being incorrect. The control arms have been changed, but i am in fear the rear camber may be completely out. Also, sometimes my car does not want to turn over, but yet the battery, starter and alternator are fine. Also, my electrical system is a mess. I can't roll down my window unless i shut off my air or heat. Then when i turn on my air or heat all my interior lights go out. Plus, sometimes my tachometer doesn't want to work. I have replaced the engine and transmission, it is always maintained, but yet i feel like i am about to have to dump thousands of dollars into this cheaply made suspension. I have seen several charger owners of the same year stating they have had these issues and if a recall can not be done then a class action lawsuit should be put into motion. I'm hoping dodge will give us a chance to keep their customers, because at this morning i am ready to give up. I have always been a dodge fan, but this time, on my favorite looking car, you all have dropped the ball!
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. Luckilyit 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.
I purchased my dodge charger in august of 06. At 22,316 miles, i started experiencing a clunking in the front end. The left outer tie rod needed to be replaced. It was covered by the warranty. I purchased the extended warranty for 5/50,000. At 51,972 the clunking returned. The remaining tie rods, inner and outer, including the one that was replaced at 22,316 had to be replaced. As of now my car has 67,800 miles on it and in between 51,972 and 67,800 miles, the clunking has returned several times. I have had a left control arm, lower ball joint, sway bar link, control arm bushings, rt and lt tension struts and sway bar bushings all replaced. I think for a car with only 67,000 miles on it...... This is way too many problems, especially when all the problems are in one area of the car. It sure would be great if dodge would own up to these front end problems and stand by their product and help the american consumers out with the repair bills.

Running hot. Replaced can motors thermostat radiator water pump
My car motor blew out of no where in the middle of me driving it. It was being well maintained up until this happened too. Anything that could of caused this?
The problem startedwhen i bought it brand new and kept bringing back to the dealer.failure to find problem.notice a lot of other customers having the same problem.brought car to an expert and found the suspension which includes shocks, struts, brakes etc. Were not the right part for this model.expert changed necessary parts and have not had a problem there after.expert did research and dealer wanted to know what he did to fix it and he would not comply.they should do the research and fix the problem.i hope everyone files a complaint and i would tell dodge they fix it or i will file a defect lawsuit for complete refund of a $42,000 car plus inconvenience.
Front suspension worn at 45k miles. Repaired and wared out again at 60k miles.

Charget r/t 5.7 l:starting at about 30,000 mi --severe (very scary) vibration and shake in front end and in steering wheel when braking at highway speeds. Does not occur at low speeds.inspection of rotors/pads show no problems.based on my research i believe to be a suspension defect.
I have a 2006 dodge charger with v8 hemi engine.i have had nothing but problems with my front suspension system i.e inner/outer tie rods, ball joints and wheel bearings.most of my driving is done on new jersey highways.i have had to replace my tires twice because of these problems.my first experience with defective suspension parts occurred at 40,000 miles, second at 68,000 mi. And lastly now at 86,000 mi.costing me approximately a total of $4,000.00.every mechanic that worked on this vehicle claims that the 2006 dodge charger is notorious for these issues.this is not normal and needs to be seriously looked into.i do not understand why chrysler/dodge have not taken this matter serious, and did a recall of the suspension system parts.i am currently driving this vehicle and still have problems with my wheels wobbling while braking and lots of noise coming from the front when i hit bumps in the road and especially braking while turning around curves.please help this is an accident waiting to happen.i told the last mechanic to save all old parts.i now have them in my possession.
Wheel hub/bearing assembly failed at 96000km.recently i noticed a different feel from right front wheel and inspection found the wheel bearing assembly was bad and required change.
Outer tie rod is making my car shack while driving, pressing on brakes, and going over bumps. It feels as if the wheel is going to pop off. I haven't had the vehicle fixed yet.
I have a dodge charger rt 06. I took it to the dealership a year ago to replace a part on the front end. There was a noise coming from the front end. Now recently, i almost got into an accident because brakes almost didn't stop me in time and i wasn't speeding. Before all of this, when i speed up, the front end and steering wheel shakes or wobbles and this has me worried. If by chance i encounter bad weather, because i do live in michigan, i hope something on the charger doesn't fail when i need it the most. To of my friends have also experience problems with 300 c's and chargers.
2006 charger rt front end i have replaced inner and outer tie rod ends and a wheel bearing over 61k miles. The front end wobbles badly at high speed.

I have a 2006 dodge daytona charger r/t. 28881 miles 3 yrs and 3 months old.just replaced passenger sideoutside tie rod end and need to replace tension strut also on passenger side. Now i need to check other tie rod ends because i think there going bad also.also passenger side shock is leaking.this should not be happening to a vehicle at 3 yrs old and 28881 miles. Car is not driven hard.
Have to replace both lower tie-rods on my 2006 charger.car has only 37,500 miles.
2 strut tension arm as to be change on my charger 2006 do notno when ill be getting that part cause there 4200 b/o and 2200 in process part are hard to get and orders arelong to get worst car ever.
I have a 2006 dodge charger. It was bought in 7/06 with 41 miles on it. In 10/07 (at 20,463 miles) i had to have the passengers side tie-rod replaced (under warranty). I now need the drivers side tie-rod and tension strut replaced (at 44,120 miles). I am told that the tension strut that i need is on national backorder because chrysler has not paid their manufacturer so they refuse to make the parts. This issues have caused undue wear on my tires as well and i have been told not to replace them until the other problems are fixed because it will just wear them down too. I have noticed that many people are having similar issues and other issues that chrysler apparently has ignored. I can not feel safe driving this car with my children in it and i have no idea how long before this part may even be available. When the first incident occurred, i just assumed that it was an honest mistake in assembly, but now that's its happened again, i can not believe that anymore. This car should not be malfunctioning like this within 3 years. Something needs to be done before somebody is seriously injured or worse.

I have a potential problem arising.upon taking my 2006 charger in to have an alignment done on it i was told that the front end had fallen and it would not take all of the specs on the alignment.i tried to take it to the dealership in odessa, texas and they never did get to it on the day specified.all they did say was that most alignment centers don't know how to do this job.only the dealers they allowed would do it.probably because the dealer does not want to have to put forth the repairs for warranty work and their people will say that it is done right.i will get a second opinion but it will not be with their people.i have done some research since and have found out that there are several cars of like mine that have had tie rod ends fall off and cause near accidents.i also read many complaints where there have been incidents of brake failures and the chrysler corp will not issue a recall.that is dangerous.are they waiting for a couple of deaths before they take this seriously?
Tires have stress cracks about 1-inch from where the tire is mounted to the rim and it goes all the way around my tires. Scared that the tire may be defected.
On my 2006 dodge charger r/t i had a low tire pressure light. I tried to remove the tires valve stem cover and the valve stem which is an integral part of the tire pressure sensor broke in half which deflated my tire completely within 10 seconds. 3 out of 4 valve stems did this. After contacting my local dealer they told me that this is a really big problem not only with the charger model but all of the models. If this valve stem broke off during driving you would have no warning and an immediate and complete loss of tire pressure could occur. Which could lead to a loss of control, especially if it was in the front during the winter like it is now. Luckily mine broke while in the garage.
Dt*:the contact stated while in a left hand curve at 23 mph, the passenger side tire separated from the wheel.the tire pressure sensor light did not illuminate to warn the contact of low tire pressure.this caused the vehicle to go off of the road into a trench, bouncing between either sides of the trench.the vehicle hit six trees and ended up pinned against the mountain on the passenger side.most of the damage occurred on the passenger side.the airbags did not deploy and the seat belts were worn.the indicator light that states the passenger side airbag was deactivated was illuminated.the occupants sustained injuries.there was a police report taken at the scene.the vehicle was towed to a dealership, where repairs were started.that dealership was unable to perform all necessary repairs; therefore, the vehicle was towed to another dealership.the vehicle has not been returned to the contact.
2006 dodge charger.consumer writes in regards to the tire pressure sensors.the consumer stated corrosion was the reason, the tire pressure sensors broke off unexpectedly. The consumer stated her vehicle had 2 rear tire blow outs due to the sensors breaking off. One of the blow outs occurred in november 2013, while her son was driving 70 mph on the highway in the rain. The second blow out occurred in march 2014. The tire pressure sensors were replaced 5 times.
Customeris thinking about purchasing a 2006 dodge daytona r/t and wants any info or recalls**ccupdate
On my 2006 dodge charger, an unprecedented mechanical problem happened with the ignition. It is unprecedented as it worked perfectly prior to the incident. The ignition will only turn from 'off' to 'a/c' and finally to 'on' but it will not turn any further to 'start'. This means the engine can not be started. With further research, it becomes apparent that same generation chargers and magnums are affected by the same problem, with owners reporting problems with the actuator pin. My car is stationary and as of late can't move with an outside source.

My 2006 charger rtjust stops for no reason when i'm at a red light or as simple as a stop.cant find a recall it's very dangerous don't know why it's not a recall. I took it to the dodge dealership and they count find a the problem and gave up and gave the car back.
I have a 2006 dodge charger and noticed on the recall stats i get sent on the e-mail that several others have had trouble with their chargers hesitating or stalling on take off.i have had the hesitation every since i bought the car in march of 2006.i had it into the shop once in midland, texas where i bought the car right after i bought it and they told me that it was how that particular car did and it was nothing to worry about.seems like it may be a problem after all.i have right at 30,000 miles on the car now.it has continued to happen almost every time i accelerate.sometimes it is worse than others.
Vehicle stalls while in motion, engine stalls shuts itself off on start up or while in motion in traffic. Leaving me with no power to control the vehicle. This has been an ongoing problem for over a year starting in january of 2016. Dodge dealership cannot find why it stalls even though it stalled on them while they had it in there shop. The reason for the stall is unknown . Normal vehicle servicing is up to date but the car stalling continues to be a problem.
It cuts off when i'm driving it slows down and i have to tryin get over .and it takes almost a 1.5 hours before it cranks back up. That can cause a car crash.
Luckily the freeway was empty, but from 70mph i went to about 20 mph i had to call a tow truck took it in and couldnt find anything wrong with it. It did it again last month on a country rd, i've been lucky that i haven't been in an accident! it also turns off at stops but will restart immediately. No engine light is on i've paid for 3 diagnostic checks and nothing.
After purchasing my 2006 dodge charger in april of 2006 i immediately had a problem with a squeaking from the front brakes.when taking the car in for service i was repeatedly told it was brake dust and it would go away when washing.the noise has never gone away and has continued to get worse now that i have over 20,000 miles on them.
Car continues to cut off while driving, makes a lot noise and all the lights on dash cut on and does not move when in gear.
Car shuts off without warning while in motion after filling gas tank. Power steering goes out as well. Very dangerous as the driver has no warning...
Gear shift stuck in "park".there was a recall for some chargers for this problem but not mine.obviously, the same part is defective on mine as the part in the vehicles involved in the recall.
My vehicle has a problem with the mini catalytic converter. There is recalls for other vin # but my vin # is not part of the recall since my vehicle was build after march 2006. Even though its the same vehicle problem the recall doesn't cover my vehicle. I will like an investigation regarding this matter.
Car loses power and stalls/shuts off while idling at stops, seems to happen more often after filling up. Has happened at speeds as high as 70 mph, however when happening at high speeds the car restarts on its own. When it cuts off after idling you must manually restart vehicle.
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.
The gear shift to put the car in gear is stuck and its keeps the car from coming out of park. You have to press the release button to put the car in drive.
Car was in motion then shut completely off when turning into an intersectionon s a a city streetand started right back up and do the same thing again three days later with no engine fault code or no warning at all
K39 2006 dodge charge shifter recall my vehical will not go out of park unless you manually do it ...
I parked vehicle. When i stepped on the brake to shift the gear, it would not move. Also when i blow the horn it gets stuck or does not work at all after airbags were replaced because of recall. Car has been sitting in a parking lot since.
My car will stall when stopped or coming to a stop. Starts right back up. This is a concern for safety for myself and other vehicles on the road. I have seen so many other complaints about this on the internet, i don't understand why it has not been recalled and taken care of.
Car engine shuts down at highway speeds momentarily and back on acouple of times engine shut completely off had to pull over to the side of the roadengine restartsno fault lights come onafter searching the internet i find that this problem has been around for a while very dangerousif dodge has addressedthis problem i find no recalls it should be taken care of as soon as possiblethis has been going on for quite a while on my vehicle today being the latest episodes thursday, october 13, 2016
Some days you come out and crank vehicle and it just cuts off on you will you run down the road it makes a beep noise and cuts off on you if you stop at a light it cuts off on you this happens recently almost everyday
The vehicle is stuck in park this issue has happened to many other dodge and chrysler cars. There is a limited recall but does not apply to my vin i have spoken with fca us lls and filed a complaint this issue is a serious safety issue if you happen to park on a roadside and cant get it to go into gear
Why would dodge be allowed to manufacture a vehicle without a cabin air filtration system built in? this should be a recall as insects, debris, exhaust, pollen and other allergens constantly enter vehicles without this critical health safety component
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.
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.
My car was recalled for the cooling fans letting my car overheat. The dealer replaces the fans and the asks if i want him to fix my overheating issue. I thought that was why my cooling fans were the issue. It stopped overheating for a month maybe at most the i had to have a new radiator, t-stat, and water pump. Within a couple weeks on my way to my doctor the temperature gauge dropped to 140 and died. I started it up and it has a quick knocking noise that seem to tick too quickly to be a rod plus the car doesn't die. I turned it off after hearing the knocking and had it towed home. Now my brother is letting me drive his car and mine is a yard ornament.
I have taken my car to the dealership 5 times to have issues fixed.each time i got the car back, it was worse.i had 13 issues originally with the car.i ended up suing, and got a very small settlement- dodge refused to cooperate.i still have each and every problem, and do not know what else to do.my car dies while in reverse, the brakes malfunction constantly, the window panel remains broken due to their inept work, the radio cuts off, the dash lights die @ night, etc.i would truly appreciate it if someone could actually help me.i do not know what else to do.i love my car dearly, but something needs to be done.the date i put as date of incident is when this all started.
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
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.
The vehicle is stalling,jerking and hesitating after filling up gas tank.this has happened on multiple occasions.

The shifter stuck in park and we had to take the car to the dealership where the shifter assembly had to be replaced.upon are arrival the technician stated that there were 3 other dodge auto's were there for the same reason.our neighbor has a chrysler sebring which had to have the same repair just last year.as the chrysler had a recall on it and we feel that the dodge should also have a recall.our car is not 5 years old and according to the dealership should not have had this type of repair at this time.
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.
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!!!
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
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.
The car keeps stalling while driving at any speed and also at at complete stop. Like a red light or stop sign. I love my car but chrysler needs to do something about this dangerous issue. I don't understand, with this being a common issue with the 06 model. Why isn't there a recall on these cars. I only have 62k on it and i keep up with the maintenance. If someone is reading this please help me.
-the sunroof will not always close all the way. It will reopen itself upon exiting-my car stalls often whenever i accelerate, it seems the gas has to "catch up" this uncomfortable/unsafe.) home. Also, it is embarrassing for my car to 'conk out'.- i am currently broken down due to the fuel pumps' incorrect assertions of gas.disappointed andneed assistance to repair said issues. Thank you
Car keeps stalling randomly at stops. It will even stall while driving going up hills or on the highway. Most times it will not completely stall (studder) and continue on. If it does stall completely, sometimes takes a lot of effort to try and restart the engine. Check engine light will sometimes come and randomly turn off. Dtc shows p0700 and u0100. Lots of others having similar problems. Just google codes and look at all dodge/chrysler/jeep forums.
Engine shuts off at any speed. Spent over $6,000 at dealership still has same problem. Very very dangerous at freeway speeds lose of power steering and power brakes when the engineshuts down. Will restart and drive after malfunctioning.
Power shuts off randomly, stalling, acceleration lost, but will fire right back up if you flip the key around or put in neutral. Very unsafe if traffic coming and it shuts right down. Also while in park it's shuts off
There is a recall k#39 for 2005-2007 dodge chargers for when the car will not leave the parked position. Even though this is what is going on with my car the dealership is saying my car is not covered in this recall. My main concern is they are unable to provide me with the 2005 and 2006 dates of cars that were affected!. I want clarification of why my car is not covered when it fits every description in the recall. They had me tow my car to the dealership and now saying i have to pay for it to be fixed.
Hi, i've had a number of issues with the fuel tank scenario the earlier models suffer with. When i fill the car, it stalls a number of times. I was in a situation where i was coming to a light, the rpm's started to drop and the engine started to die as i was breaking. Then the car revved back to life and this cause the rpm's to shoot up jolting the vehicle forward. Immediately after it died yet again however the issue is i lost all power, steering, brakes, everything. From the jolt forward i came dangerously close to rear ending the car in front of me with a heavy brake pedal. At this point i was jarred a bit, and needed to get the car going again. I went to start it and it did no't want to turn over for roughly 30 seconds. The light changed and there was a lineup of disgruntled drivers behind me as i made efforts to get going again. Then inevitably the vehicle died yet again in the middle of the intersection and went through the same situation. To negate this, i have made efforts to not fill the tank. Now the bigger issue i am having is that when i go to put gas in the car, it does not take. I cannot get a gallon in without the pump clicking off. It takes me quite some time, 10 minutes even to simply put $20 in the car, and i get very frustrated gas attendants here in jersey if i'm not permitted to do man the pump. You need to literally stand with it and continue to reset the pump as it slowly takes and continuously clicks off. This problem needs to be solved, it i's simply unacceptable and dangerous. I have many other instances & dates with stalling and jolting issues after fillup. Even when i leave a 1/4 of the tank empty, i still get some symptoms. Not as often, but the car still does die out. Now that it is so difficult to fill, it is inconvenient to drive. I love the car but the issues are almost not worth it, especially with how thirsty the srt is-no pun thanks
My car will not accelerate over 40mph. I went to the mechanics and it said that the transmission computer isn't functioning correctly. I looked up this issue online and this is an ongoing issue with these cars. I contacted dodge they said since there is no recall then they can't do anything.
I pulled out on a major road and the gas pedal assembly broke off of the mounting bracket.i was in a spot where i couldn't pull over safely so i had to reach down and try to operate the throttle by hand while driving.upon closer inspection, the plastic part of the gas pedal that holds the gas pedal to the mounting bracket broke off.this vehicle is equipped with the "pursuit" or law enforcement package.
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.
After filling up fuel, went to accelerate and car started sputtering, this happened while merging onto freeway. Second time was when stopped at a stop light, light turned green, pressed the gas pedal and engine light came on and car died. Was able to coast 2 lanes over to the side of road. Car would restart but die after 30 seconds. Had to car towed home. Third time, car died at a busy intersection and was able to get it started and moved to a safe place. Fourth time it died while turning into a shopping center. This is an extremely dangerous fault in the car and should be a recall and paid by chrysler, luckily i didn't get into an accident with someone rear ending me. My car is at the dealership with a $2000 charge to have this fixed. I should not have to be paying this, as it is a defect in the car itself!!
Vehicle is stalling after filling up with gas. Occurs when idling (such as at a stoplight) or when decelerating at which it also loses the power steering.highly concerned this will occur in the middle of a busy intersection. Can restart the car usually after two attempts. May go to the next light/stop and same incident will repeat itself.after driving the car for a few miles...(presumably as the fuel level goes down)...car behaves as normal - without issue.symptoms are very much like a bad tank of gas.took car to the dealer and they were unable to diagnose the problem.dealer ran diagnostic checks and no issues are reported.dodge refuses to do anything until dealer can diagnose the problem. Yet, there is the exact same type of investigation that has already occurred (pe13016) - http://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/cars/problems/defect/results.cfm?action_number=pe13016&searchtype=quicksearch&summary=true where chrysler acknowledges the problem with my 5.7l engine. Is frustrating as can take the car to the dealership shortly after the problem (when it is occurring) and they inspect to find everything appears to be in find working order. Yet, i certainly know the problem exists. :-(
Car stalls and dies when attempting to accelerate.has occurred multiple times, and each incident happens right after filling the tank with gasoline.

The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.while driving approximately 35 mph on normal road conditions, the contact depressed the accelerator pedal.she immediately heard a beeping noise followed by excessive hesitation.in addition, there was an extremely low power response during acceleration.the failures occurred without warning.the vehicle resumed normal operation and was taken to an authorized dealer for inspection.the technician was unable to duplicate the failure.the vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on five separate occasions for identical failures, but there were no resolutions.the failure mileage was 23,723 and current mileage was 39,000. Updated 06/09/09. *ljthe consumer stated while driving, the vehicle would shut off for no apparent reason. All of the gauges on the dashboard would just drop. The consumer took the vehicle to the dealer on several occassions, but to no avail. No error codes displayed on the computer. There was no check engine light. Updated 06/11/09.
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.
Car locked in park in the driveway. While driving in the rain all the dash lights flickered for 2-3 seconds then all lights and gauges shut down this included the headlights as well. While driving 55 miles per hour the car shut itself off i was in heavy traffic at the time. Car is now at the dealership again they cannot find the problem. I still have the same problems with dash lights flickering and the car stopping. Don't know if anyone else is having this problem but the car will also surge forward at a high rate of speed like i have stepped on the gas but my foot would be on the brake. This has happened several times and it scares me to death. These are safety issues that need to be corrected by the manufacture. Dealerships are aware of these issues and have done nothing to correct the problems. This will be the last dodge i purchase even though i like to buy american made. An investigation should be done with so many complaints. I will be calling detroit with these issues.
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.
Stalling happens after fuel up. Stalling at high speeds while acceleration and while stopped at stop lights. Looses power instantly on freeway the kicks back in.
I am about to file a lemon law complaint because dodge has been "unable to duplicate" the most serious problems that have plagued my vehicle, a 2006 dodge charger r/t, since day four of my ownership.i have owned this car for 68 days and of those, i have only been able to drive the functioning car for 19 days.they have fixed a number of minor issues and notified me that they would be unable to fix or do not know how to fix at this time, some minor issues including the air conditioning compressor problems (which they say they have also been "unable to duplicate".the serious issues that are occurring when it idles, when it accelerates and with what seems to be the suspension and possibly both the engine and transmission.of those 68 days, they have come to pick up my car on three different occasions to try and fix it, the last time (which continues currently) they have had my car for four weeks.i happen to know (upon researching after the prolonged period they have had the car) that tsb's or technical service bulletins have been issued for every problem that is occurring with my car.additionally, i have taken my car to two different mechanics (one dodge dealership and one independent mechanic) that have witnessed these malfunctions.i would like to know what my options are legally for getting some kind of resolution.
Car stalled at stop light.took a few tries to get started again.this happens after refueling the car.this is not the first time this has occurred, i am irritated that it keeps happening.
El vehculo prende y corriendo se apaga,lo que podra ocacionar un accidente. The vehicle is on and running shuts down, which could cause an accident.
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.
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.
After filling up with gas this morning, as i accelerated away from the gas station the car began to buck and jerk.it smoothed out for a little while, then after accelerating away from the next stoplight it jerked and made a loud noise.this is heavy suburban traffic, so very stop-and-go.the car began to stall, and only restart if i depress the accelerator all the way to the floor while starting.go a little bit further, then buck and stall again.very dangerous! i'm learning through online vehicle forums that this is a relatively common problem with this year/make/model vehicle's gas tank and the integral "roll-over" valve which is supposed to prevent liquid fuel from entering the engine, yet the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge a faulty design that is leading to potentially dangerous situations.will it take accidents, fires and death to make it a higher priority?
After fill up of gas tankcsr will start and drive normal for approx 1 mile then begin to stall out. This happens while gas pedal is being depressed and while braking.after driving the vehicle for approx 10 to 15 min the stalling stops. This happens after every gas fill up.
Speedometer quit working, car jumps hard into reverse and drive, will not shift out of first gear, code u0100, u1120, u0121, u0103, replaced computer and had no change of condition, no transmission dipstick to check fluid, a must take to dealer item that is not sensible.
The contact owned a 2006 dodge charger. While idling at a stop sign, the vehicle accelerated independently and struck the rear of another vehicle. A police report was filed and there were no injuries. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a tow yard. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000.
After fueling car for a trip, while in park the idle speed increased then the car stalled.i was able to restart but while pulling into the street the car stalled again.luckily it started but when i pulled up to the red light it stalled again and took 3-4 attempts to get the car running again, it would turn over and then die.finally i got the car started and without any additional stops in my route i made it home with no other problems.i took the car to the dealership (didn't seem to have any problems) yesterday and today i was told i need to have the fuel tank replaced, the "broken" gauge can not be replaced.i have had 2 additional problems with the car losing power when accelerating onto the freeway in the last month, both after fuel ups, but the car had never stalled until recently.seems very costly, but more dangerous!i feel it should be recalled by dodge due to quantity of same complaints!
I have a 2006 dodge charger r/t with a 5.7l engine. My car has started to randomly stall mostly at slower speeds when approaching a stop light or making a turn. There is no warning that it is going to happen, it just sputters, bucks and then stalls. There are no codes after restarting the car. It will restart if i put it in either park or neutral but continues to chug and sputter after restarting. It will do this for awhile and then will not happen again for some time. I never know when it is going to do it or how long it will last. It is very unnerving since it happens at lights and in the middle of intersections. It has happened a few times at highway speeds and thankfully i was able to quickly restart it in neutral and not get into a bad situation! it's very frightening since i live in a big city with heavy traffic. This is very dangerous!!!!! after looking into this issue with the car and seeing the number of complaints, it is obvious that the manufacturer needs to address the problem and fix it. A recall would be appropriate.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while adjusting the driver's side seat, both the accelerator and the brake pedal traveled to the floorboard and caused the vehicle to have low acceleration power.

Purchased july 14, 2006.it ran great with no problems until july 26.i went to take a left out of my company's parking lot and the car sputtered and would accelerate fast.i had to pull off on the left side of the road to get out of the way of oncoming traffic.i put it in neutral and gave it some gas.i attempted to go again when the traffic was clear and it sputtered more until i gave it a lot of gas and then it drove fine.i though it was an isolated incident so i drove it home.that night my wife, son and i took the car to the mall.upon leaving the mall it did it again and the engine light was on.the dealership was still open and close by so i drove it directly there.they gave me a loaner to drive while they attempted to fix it.on august 9, they gave the vehicle back to me.that night it did it again, except the vehicle actually died on me in the middle of traffic.the next day it was back to the dealer where is sat for 37 days while they tried to figure out what was wrong.they replaced all the oxygen sensors, the power control module, the wiring harnesses and i am sure there were some other things.they test drove it for 9 key cycles and 250 miles and were 98% confident they fixed it so i got the car back on september 15.the next day the same problem returned and i was 50 miles from home and this time the idling of the car was so rough that the car was visibly shaking.i had a friend follow me home and since it was a saturday night, the dealership was not open and would not be until monday.monday morning i started the car up and let it idle 5 minutes before leaving.when i got in, it was idling rough again and the engine light was flashing.i shut it down, called a tow truck and it is back at the dealership where it will stay because i am not taking it back.i have requested vehicle replacement from chrysler and the dealership.now here i am 5 days later and there is still no answer as to when i will get a new vehicle.
This incident started occurring in september of 2014 but i always thought it was a "hiccup" and never really paid it any mind until it starting happening much more frequently. After i fill up my gas tank (i don't over fill) my car has intermittent engine stalls causing me to lose throttle response and my power steering. Sometimes the car has enough rpm to restart the motor but most of the time i have to shift to neutral and turn the key to restart. This is happening while driving down the interstate!! scares me to death. Now i have this stalling issue every single time i fill up. When slowing down is when the incident is most prevalent but even taking turns its happened and i lose power steering. This is a safety issue.
Car would keep accelerating for a few seconds after removing foot from pedal.when it completely failed the car would rev to 4000 rpms in neutral without even touching the accelerator pedal.put the car in drive when the rpms dropped and it just took off.pedal appeared to be fine and where it was supposed to be.had the car towed to the dealership and the pedal assembly was replaced.the tech duplicated the same problem i was experiencing.
I was in line at tim horton's, i had ordered, but not yet paid. I had my foot on the brake (car was stationary), and the as the car in front of me moved up, i depressed the brake to roll the car forward. The car began accelerating on it's own. With my foot still on the brake, i pushed the brake to the floor at which point the abs struggled to slow the acceleration down. The result of the incident is my car only came to a stop once i hit the car in front of me. I looked down once the car stopped moving and clearly only saw my foot on the brake with the brake pressed all the way to the floor. Luckily the only real damage was some flaked paint on the front of my car. The other car, as well as myself decided the issue was not worth reporting to the insurance companies. I immediately called my dad, who told me to call the dealer. I then called the dealer whom said do not drive the car, and get the car towed to them for diagnosis. The car was towed to the dodge/jeep dealership in which i bought the car in 2007. This issue has never happened before, in the 11 years i've owned the car.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while driving approximately 25 mph, the engine stalled as the electronic throttle control warning lamp illuminated. The vehicle restarted on the first attempt and resumed normally. The failure recurred on seven separate occasions. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer to get diagnosed. The manufacture was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileage was 111,000.
First instance was on sunday, 6 may 2012.car stalled after turning onto city street while accelerating to posted speed: 35 mph.if fuel tank is filled to click on gas pump (full tank) this continues to happen, especially in very humid weather conditions/rain.car has also stalled on hills at stop signs or traffic lights and has stalled at on-ramps to local interstate highway/city bypass, given the above full fuel tank issue.if i don't fill the tank above the 7/8 mark on the fuel gage indicator, the car does not stall.if i exceed the 7/8 mark, then the car does stall, multiple times if very humid conditions exist and will continue until the fuel tank is at or below 7/8 capacity.i've had approximately 22 stalls since sunday 6 may 2012.it's inconvenient to have to guess when to stop the fuel pump at gas stations and very frightening to stall in traffic, especially at on-ramps to highways.
Gear shift stuck in parkcar in garage aaa towing came outtowed car and repaired$312.16other 2006 chargers on recall list for this same issuethis one needs to be alsoit is a special edition model so only 2000 made of theseit's obvious by recall list this is an issue, why should i have to pay just because my car is a special model.
Our problem still has not been fixed.the car continues to "die in flight."i have uploaded a video to youtube.https://youtu.be/ssawxdfdswathis occurred while attempting to merge onto the interstate.the rpms jump up and down.the oil light and the electronic throttle control light flash and ding.the check engine light came on.this is going to cause an accident and the dealership says there is nothing wrong with the car.
My car have mis fire cylinder 1 it shakes when it cold then after a while it goes away,transmission driving bad out of no where going only 30 miles the fastest in my car stuck in park.
I was driving home from work on the freeway and had to change lanes to go around a slower vehicle. As i depressed the accelerator pedal it snapped off and fell on the floor causing a hazardous condition as i could no longer control the speed of the vehicle. I was able to make it home by leaning down and depressing the pedal with my hand while holding on to the steering wheel with the other. I contacted dodge to try and get reimbursed for the repair that i made myself but they said they could not do anything for me. There are numerous complaints contained in on line forums about this happening to the same and/or similar chrysler vehicles.
After fueling up, i pulled out of the gas station and onto a main road. About 300yards from the gas station. I accelerated to approximately 40mph, in the middle of the intersection my car "dinged" the oil light came on and my engine shut down. I lost all ability to turn, or break. This is a very dangerous situation. I feared for my life. I originally thought it was becausei let the fuel levels get too low, after, i realized if i fill up all the way, this always occurs. God forbid if i were to be entering on to a freeway at a higher rate of speed. Since this has happened to me 3+ times, i am very scared and nervous to drive my car. Something as to be done. Please, before someone gets killed because the gas tank and evap canister are screwy! i. Ant get any dealership or mechanic to fix it without replacing the whole tank,($$$$$$$).
After filling up my fuel tank up for the first time the car was hard to restart.once the car started the she kept cutting out and even died twice.this happened while i was in traffic.since that time every time i filled the tank i have the same issue.i have had to resort to only filling the car up to 3/4 tank to avoid this issue.
Engine stalled after startup or @ low speed several times, some times after fuel topoff and engine light /electronic throttle control light came on.
Brakes have locked up x3.vehicle almost skidded into the back of another vehicle @ 40mph. Afraid to drive vehicle.had it checked out by dealership & repair shop, nothing wrong.repair shop did note brake squeak and vehicle shaking even at low mph during test drive- he had just put new rotor and brake pads less than 3mnths ago! vehicle also has a noticeable 'kick' or 'jarring' when driving- even at 5-10mph in parking lot when accelerator pedal is not even pressed.i am very afraid to drive this car especially w/my child.this is my only vehicle and as a single mother and educator -safety, security, and reliability is important.
1.multi cylinder misfires, resulting in the inability to accelerate, rough idle and engine failure. 2. Approximately every 4 to 6 weeks and 3 times over the last 2 weeks.3. Service to the vehicle 10 times, replacing shift module,valve keepers, combustion chamber cleaning (twice), cam seal,rocker arm, both exh., rocker rails and pedestals.
After filling the car with gas, and driving approximately 1 to 2 miles, the car stalled after making a left turn and starting to accelerate. I was able to restart the car and drive home.the next day the car acted like it was going to stall again after making a turn and starting to accelerate, but it didn't. This problem started in december of 2012 when the car had about 40000 miles on it. After researching the problem on the internet, i stopped topping off the gas tank and the problem did not re-occur until october 2013.i am concerned that the problem is getting worse and even if i don't fill the gas tank, the car will stall after driving it a few miles.fortunately, every time the car stalled i was turning on to a quiet street with little traffic, but this is a very dangerous problem that requires a recall from dodge.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving on the freeway at an unknown speed, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. In addition, the contact stated that the failure occurred every time the vehicle was refueled. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the throttle body and the power control module failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 168,000.
After fueling up/topping off to the first shut-off only, after pulling away from the gas pump, the car hesitated, stalled and failed to restart right away.it has been increasing this behavior from rarely to almost every time i fuel up - i am now at 171,*** miles.last night i fueled up, drove about 300 yards and parked for the night.this morning the car failed to start.after about 6 attempts, i floored the accelerator while cranking and the car started.after pulling out of the parking lot where i was parked and onto the highway, he car sputtered/hesitated 4 times (kind of like a bucking bronco) about 70 yards down the road, with traffic catching up to me and then it settled back to its normal self.about 3 weeks ago, while traveling through tennessee, i fueled up, pulled into the street and approached a red light and i stopped at which time the car did its hesitation and stalled.i tried to start the car, but it would not start.i hit the 4-way flashers and i sat there for about 25 seconds before the car was able to be started again.i don't use cheap gas, i don't gas up at a station if i see a tanker truck filling the tanks (or pulling out of the station) and i stop filling after the initial shut-off of the pump.on a side note, since day one (sep 2005), when gassing up, i have to rest the pump handle on the filler door, which ends up putting the pump handle upside down at about the 10 or 11 o'clock position depending on the padding of the handle.any other position would cause the pump handle to click off almost immediately when trying to fill the tank.from what i have read on various charger forums, i am not the only one that has had the above "problems".i am afraid one of these days this behavior will lead to an accident with somebody getting hurt or possibly even killed, either in a rear-end collision or a t-bone collision.
Transmission.. Bad air light on all the time.. Bad transmission hard shift.
After refueling car intermittently began stalling and ultimately died upon coming to a stop. Engine did restart but continued to stall and until destination reached approximately 6 miles. No further incidents until roughly two months later when exactly the same problem occurred under same circumstances. Had just refueled and engine stalled repeatedly at speeds of up to 60mph then died when stopped at stop sign. Engine restarted and continued to stall until residence reached.
This morning i began to back out of the garage when the vehicle increased acceleration on its own, i was able to brake but i could feel the pressure of the acceleration against the brake.i stopped the car then proceeded to back out again, and it did the same thing.i then shifted it into drive and began moving forward.i live off of a dirt road so i usually like to drive very slow, sometimes coasting (the terrain is flat with no down or upgrade)but i usually have to tap the accelerator to keep it coasting.this morning it wanted to accelerate on its own going forward, and i had to repeatedly push the brakes.so this happened moving forward and backward.i don't want to drive it in fear of severe acceleration.also, prior to this incident,i have recently felt like it was losing acceleration as i coasted, it feels slightly jerky, but i am driving on somewhat soft sand when this happens, only, it's never done that in the past. I haven't been too worried about this since it seems fine when i am driving above 10 mph. Have there been any reports of this nature?
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact found a recall related to the fuel tank. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the fuel tank was replaced; however, the vehicle began to slow down to approximately 35 mph when reaching high speeds. Additionally, the rpms would continue to increase without the acceleration matching the rpm increase. The contact informed the manufacturer who opened a case on the contact's behalf and informed the contact that there was no recall relating to the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.while driving 30 mph, the accelerator pedal failed while attempting to accelerate.the driver used his hand to accelerate the vehicle and drive home.the pedal was electric.the dealer could not determine the cause of the failure.the current and failure mileages were 105,000.
Greetings,on 01/02/2009 at 09:30 a.m. Ct (time & date i reported the incident to my insurance : claim #: 09-4104090), i've decided to warm up my car (2006 dodge charger rwd) after 2 weeks. I started the engine fine and then right when i close the driver door; i heard a big bang shattering noise from the back (like someone has dropped a heavy rock on the rear window). I turned around to lock and it was my rear window that was just shattered in pieces (note: the car was still in parking gear).i would to have this incident investigate for manufacturer defect. I don't understand how the window can break by itself. I'm the first owner and bought the car brand new from dodge dealership in omaha, ne in 2006.for any additional information, please contact me.
Was traveling at 55 mph and slower with defroster on at 20 degree outside temperature. Windshield completely fogged up, had to pull of to side of road to clear windshield. Windshield only cleared about 2/3rds, and would nor clear on sides of windshield. I could not see around corners without opening windows. After a week of frustration and hazardous driving, i discovered from an online complaint that the recirculation cover on the heater blower was stuck open, and was not letting fresh air into the vehicle.i found that the arm that moves the cover had broken, so after removing my glove box, i manually closed this cover. After researching this, i found that this is a rather commonin chargers. I and everyone on the road around me were very lucky that this did not cause an accident. I feel that dodge should be making owners aware of this hazardous problem, and since it is a common problem, there should be a re-call. For a vehicle owner to fix this $30 part, the repair bill is almost $900 due to the extensive job of removing the whole dashboard and steering column, and all associated parts. I was fortunate enough to find the problem before ior anyone else got hurt, but others may not be so fortunate.

During that time, the contact noticed that the thermostat was leaking antifreeze. The independent mechanic informed the contact that certain vehicles were on a recall list for the thermostat. The manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 141,050.
I work for a chrysler-dodge auto dealership in texas.we are currently repairing a 2006 dodge charger heater core leak.the heater core leaked hot antifreeze onto the gas pedal and onto the leg of one of our salesman.the heater core is a very poor design and should be recalled before someone gets burned while driving down the road.the heater core tubes are held on to the core by a small cheesy clamp that comes off very easy. Even the new heater core we received from chrysler tubes were half way off of the heater core.
It was about 8:00 a.m. It was not hot about 60 degrees, me and my husband were standing by the car and when he got in and shut the door without starting the vehicle first, the rear window shattered for no apparent reason we both stood there watching in aww as it continued to fall in pieces at first it exploded outwards then just fell in side the rear seats if the children were in the car with us glass would have fallen all over them nothing hit the window and it did not have any existing cracks at all it just shattered first in one small area then around the edges as it being eaten or something then just all over i don't have a video camera but i took still patters as it was happening. Then i looked on line to see if any others had anything like this happen and i found we are not the only ones. This glass is a very serious safety issue there was very small sharp shards of glass all over i got some in my hand and fingers. The dealer refused to believe me and denied there was a problem. But i stood there and watched this happen. This glass needs to be recalled.
2006 dodge charger.consumer writes in regards to faulty ignition switch. 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. Updated 08/28/14
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the glass on the sun roof detached from the frame and caused the sun roof to lift off the vehicle. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the glass and the seal needed to be replaced twice. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer a third time. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. The approximate failure mileage was 57,000.
Our 2006 dodge charger was showing symptoms of the wheels being out of alignment, and we had it checked out by a mechanic.we knew what he was going to say before he came back with his assessment; its the tie rods once again.we have had problems with the tie rods on this car from the 3rd month of owning it.we have had it fixed by the dealer 3 times along with new brakes and tires at the cost of $2,000 each time.we drive 20 miles a day to and from work, there is no reason for the tie rods to be replaced.i have complained to the dealership and they told me that it is an issue that we will continue to have and there is nothing we can do about it. He had 4 chargers in that day with the same issue. I contacted chrysler 2 days ago because we need to have the tie rods fixed for the 4th time.they told me they would forward my complaint to the product development team.chrysler needs to own up to the defective products they are selling!i'm afraid for our family of 4 to ride in this car.do people have to die before an investigation is warranted? i want to get rid of this car but i hate to pawn it off on another family, its dangerous!please do an investigation, and ask dealerships and mechanics how many defective tie rods they place on these cars a day.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger.the contact purchased his vehicle used from the dealer on march 9, 2009.three days later, the front wheels began to shimmy badly and the trunk leaks when it rains.he took the vehicle back to the dealer and they stated that they could not balance the wheels on the front end.he was advised to visit a dodge dealer; however, dodge could not balance the wheels as well.currenlty, the dodge dealer is attempting to repair the trunk issue and possibly the wheels again.the vin was unknown.the failure mileage was 21,120.
The contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that there were several failures that progressed within months of owning the vehicle. The vehicle stalled several times and the instrument panel warning indicators and gauges flickered. When there was a loss of power, the doors would automatically lock and were unable to open. In addition ,the brakes failed to function properly when applied. An unknown dealer replaced the brakes and the pinion pins twice due to the wheels on the driver's side being affected due to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and the contact was waiting to determine if there was an option to trade in or buy back the vehicle. The failure mileage was not available.
Upon braking, i experience vibrations in the steering.took to a dealer who examined my wheels and determination is warped front rotors.i have 16, 000 miles on my car and warped rotors? service manager advised to replace rotors at consumer expense.i feel as many other dodge charger owners with the same problem, it is amanufacturer defect.
