NHTSA Complaint #10512005 — 2006 DODGE CHARGER

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). *TR
