NHTSA Complaint #10511906 — 2006 DODGE CHARGER

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