2006 DODGE CHARGER Engine Problems

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.

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. *TR

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 ISSUE IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE I REALLY LIKE THE CAR BUT SAFETY FIRST ALSO IM ORIGINAL OWNER CAR STILL STOCK. *TR

TL* 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.

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. *TR

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. *TR

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...

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...

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 STOPPED AT 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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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 LINE DID NOT WANT TO HOLD THEM UP I JUMPED OUT AND PUSHED MY CAR OUT OF...

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. *TR

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. *TR

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...

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). *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,715.

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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...

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

TL* 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 WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER BUT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 82,729.

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. *TR

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...

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. *TR

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...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AFTER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE FUEL TANK VALVE WAS DAMAGED AND THE FUEL TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000. UPDATED 02/06/14*LJ

CAR STALLS AND DIES WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. HAS OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES, AND EACH INCIDENT HAPPENS RIGHT AFTER FILLING THE TANK WITH GASOLINE. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

THE CAR STALLED A NUMBER OF TIMES IN TRAFFIC. I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK. *TR

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! *TR

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...

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! *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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 BURNED OFF 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. *TR

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...

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. *TR

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. *TR

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. *TR

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? *TR

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 TO QUICKLY 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. *TR
