2006 DODGE CHARGER Engine Problems

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. *TR

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. HE ALSO SAYS THE IGNITION COILS DETERIORATE OVER TIME, AND THE INTERNAL SHIELDING DOES NOT KEEP STRAY 'NOISE' FROM TRAVELLING 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 COILS APPARENTLY 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...

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

RE:PE13-016 RE: DODGE/CHRYSLER X53 - 19 FUEL TANK VEHICLE 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,...

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...

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... *TR

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...

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. *TR

TL* 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.

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...

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! *JS

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. *TR

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...

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...

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...

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. *JS

CAR STALLS OUT AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN AT LIGHT. CONSISTENT WITH OTHER PROBLEMS RAISED CONCERNING THESE VEHICLES. *TR

DRIVING MY 2006 CHARGER DAYTONA WITH MY TODDLER FROM LUNCH, GOING TO GET 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...

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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 THAT MAY BECAUSE THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND IT WAS NOT GETTING FUEL AND IT THROUGH THE PISTONS. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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 WHEN I 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. *TR

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! *TR

TL* 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.

2006 DODGE CHARGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED IT COST $6,000 TO HAVE THE ENGINE REPLACED. *JB

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. *TR

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...

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...

AFTER FILLING WITH GAS THE ENGINE STALLED AND DIED. IT HAS CONTINUED TO DO THIS EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. *TT

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? *JS

REFERENCE PE13-016 AFTER 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. *JS

VEHICLE STALLED AFTER REFUELING, IN TRAFFIC. *JS

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. *JS

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

ENGINE STALLED AFTER STARTUP OR @ LOW SPEED SEVERAL TIMES, SOME TIMES AFTER FUEL TOPOFF AND ENGINE LIGHT /ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. *TR

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. *TR

TL* 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 *BF .. ..UPDATED 05/15/14 *BF 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...

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. *TR

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...

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. *TR

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.

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....

TL* 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.
