NHTSA Complaint #10608115 — 2006 DODGE CHARGER

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. *TR
