2006 DODGE CHARGER Power Train Problems

My 2006 Dodge Charger R/T HEMI 5.7 has experienced multiple breakdowns in my transmission. Come to find out it is actually a Mercedes Benz transmission. Replaced multiple times after getting towed multiple times for transmission going out. Totally unacceptable.

On 3/10/2023 my vehicle suddenly starting trembling and shaking profusely! It terrified me severely. I immediately called my mechanic and it was towed in to be repaired. I was told it needed a tune- up. Towing, 3-Direct Ignition coils replaced, 6-spark plugs replaced and 1- fuel injection plenum gasket set replaced. Four weeks later on 4/16/2023 a warning sign of a backwards meeting parenthesis with a lightening bolt between to the two backwards parenthesis showed up on my warning lamp-Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator symbol; causing my vehicle on shake, jump and stall as I was driving on 29S heading toward 70W towards Baltimore to get home. I was able to drive to side of the road and my car completely stopped. A the horrific sounds of the traffic wizzed by me and my 12 year old child, I immediately called AAA, as we were in danger and severely terrified....

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that after starting the vehicle, he was unable to shift the gear shifter out of park(P). The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not drivable. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. Upon investigation, the contact associated the failure with Customer Satisfaction Number: K39. The failure mileage was approximately 78,000.

My Dodge charger has 4 codes I can't figure out and one is a is a manufacturer code that popped up and lost connection to tcm and something to do with the fuel

PCM/ECM failure during driving. Caused entire vehicle to shut off during speeds as little as 20 or as high as 70 mph. Severe safety issue and potential for critical component damage to other parts of the vehicle! Warning tone and lamps do not appear until after the incident happens. And it has been confirmed by 3 consecutive car shops and dealers. Happens repeatedly, day to day.

I've owned this car a little over a month. I filled up the gas tank today, after leaving the gas station the car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. thankfully no one was coming the opposite direction at the time before i could get the car restarted. at the next light it stalled again, and then was able to restart the car. i was able to pull into a parking lot to access any issues. nothing looked wrong visibly. while idling the car stalled again. i researched the issue and found other similar issues with this year and make of the car stalling after filling the tank. this is a huge safety issue as there was no warning and the car completely stalled and had no function. if cars were coming at me in the intersection or i was on the highway which was the next exit, it...

The transmission console shift lever stays in Park. The console shift lever will not go into Reverse. Sunday morning my wife was on her way to church and found that the Dodge Charger RT transmission would not go into reverse. I tried it and she was right. My concern is if this happened while in traffic the vehicle could be rear ended or could cause a traffic night mare. My wife was in New Hampshire as the driver of our car with three other ladies just prior to this problem. . She was about sixty miles away and if the transmission locked up there with the four of them they would have been stranded. The plastic shift lock out located in the console is a plastic piece and should be replaced with a metal or aluminum piece by a Recall or at least a Technical Bulletin. The following is the...

EVERY TIME I FILL MY CAR UP WITH GAS AND DRIVE OFF FROM THE GAS STATION INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC THE CAR WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I ALMOST GOT HIT IN THE SIDE JUST YESTERDAY. I GOT ONLINE AND DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANKS ON THESE CARS THAT CAUSE THEM TO STALL AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THEM.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR IT WILL RANDOMLY TURN OFF AND THEN COME BACK ON WITH OUT HAVING TO RESTART IT. IT'S LIKE IF YOU WERE TO TURN A LIGHT SWITCH ON AND THEN OFF AGAIN, IT'S THAT QUICK. I'M TALKING ABOUT EVERYTHING SHUTS DOWN, THE LIGHTS THE RADIO THE GAUGES EVERYTHING AND THEN SOMETIMES IT COMES RIGHT BACK ON. THERE HAS BEEN SOME OCCASIONS WHERE IT DOESN'T COME BACK ON THO.

VEHICLE ORIGINAL KEYS WILL ENABLE/DISABLE ALARM, UNLOCK THE DOORS BUT WILL NOT START ENGINE DUE TO A MALFUNCTION IN THE (SKREEM) SENTRY KEY REMOTE ENTRY MODULE INTERNAL AND SKIM. WHEN THE WEATHER BECOMES COLD, THE SKIM MALFUNCTIONS WORST MAKING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE.

2006 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA R/T RANDOMLY STALLS WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GETS PRODUCED. IN THAT SPLIT SECOND THAT IT SHUTS OFF, THE CAR LOSES POWER COMPLETELY AND NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY TO FIX THIS ISSUE. MOST SOURCES POINT TO A FAULTY GAS TANK THAT HAS A LIFETIME WARRANTY NOW BUT SHOULD BE RECALLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER CEASED IN THE PARK POSITION. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION.

CAR WILL RUN FINE ONE DAY NEXT DAY IT WON'T, CAR CUTS OFF WHEN STOPPING AN STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. CAR JERKS WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL TOO HARD, GAS ODORS COMING FROM MUFFLER.

TURNING ONTO ON-RAMP OF A HIGHWAY I WAS MOVING ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE DIED AND I LOST POWER STEERING. ADDITIONALLY, I FELT A VERY TOUGH TRANSMISSION SHIFT 2-3 SECONDS BEFORE I LOST POWER STEERING AND WHEN THE ENGINE DIED. THE CAR TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO TURN OVER. A VERY LOUD WHIRRING NOISE BEGAN IN THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION AREA AND IS YET TO STOP.

DRIVETRAIN PROBLEMS MAKING NOISE IS THERE A RECALL NEED HELP SOMETIMES WHEN I DRIVE IT KICKS THE GEAR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER THAT RANDOMLY DIES WHEN I'M DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TOWN AT SLOW SPEEDS TURNING CORNERS OR SITTING STILL IN PARK IT'S DIED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PEOPLE HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES TO AVOID HITTING THE SIDE OF ME AND IT HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT GEAR ITS IN OR WHAT THE RPM IS AT I'VE REPLACE THE ECM THE TCM ALTERNATOR BATTERY AND EVERYTHING I'VE LOOKED UP ABOUT IT ONLINE NOBODY HAS A DEFINITE FIX BUT THE PROBLEM EXISTS IN A LOT OF 2006 DODGE CHARGERS, AND IT ALMOST ALWAYS GIVES ME ONE OF TWO CODES ONE IS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE ECM AND THE OTHER IS LOSS OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE TCM AND THEN THERE'S OTHER TIMES THAT IT GIVES NO CODE

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH 2006 CHARGERS AND "SOME" 2006 MODELS ARE COVERED UNDER A RECALL "K39." IT SEEMS LIKE MY 2006 CHARGER IS ONE OF THE 2006 CHARGERS THAT ISN'T COVERED FOR SOME REASON. I CHECKED MY VIN ON YOUR WEBSITE AND THE RECALL DOESN'T SHOW. THIS HAPPENED IN MY DRIVEWAY. ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANKS

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SLOWS DOWN, THE ENGINE IS RUNNING ROUGH AND WHEN PULLED OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE AT ALL. THE SHIFTER WILL MOVE THROUGH THE GEARS HOWEVER THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE(AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION). AFTER TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTING THE CAR RUNS NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT EPISODE( OCCURRED THE LAST 3 TIMES CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN). THIS IS HAZARDOUS ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC. CURRENTLY SETTING UP APPOINTMENT WITH DODGE DEALERSHIP TO ADDRESS PROBLEM HOWEVER NO CAUTION LIGHT IS APPEARING ON THE DASH. THIS MALFUNCTION HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED ON HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET.

THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF RANDOMLY, THE ERROR CODE KEEPS POINTING BACK TO THE ECM AND I HAVE HAD THAT REPLACED NOW IT IS DOING IT AGAIN AND THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN IT HAPPENS ON THE FREEWAY IT JOLTS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUTOFF BUT IT DOESN'T THE RPM'S GO DOWN AND IT REVS BACK UP, IT STARTED JUST WITH IT HAVING THE RPM'S GO DOWN AND REV BACK UP RANDOMLY AND ITS BEEN HAPPENING FOR 2 YEARS NOW IT JUST SHUTS OFF AND STARTS BACK UP IMMEDIATELY BUT SOMETIMES ILL DRIVE A COUPLE FEET AND IT WILL DIE AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE LAST 8 MONTHS. THEY HAVE SENT THE COMPUTER BACK TO HAVE IT ANALYSED AND TO REPAIR THE NEW ONE I GOT NOW. WHEN DRIVING IT ALSO SHUTS OFF AND THEN JUST STARTS UP BACK BY ITSELF. I SEE...

CANNOT SHIFT VEHICLE OUT OF PARK.

I HAVE NO CODES NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NO WARNING. MY DASH LIGHTS AND HEAD LIGHTS FLICKER ESPECIALLY WHILE DRIVING. WE TRIED EVERYTHING TO FIX THIS I'M VERY SCARED TO DRIVE MY CAR ANYWHERES.. PLEASE HELP FIGURE OUT WHATS GOING ON WITH THESE PROBLEMS. WE ALREADY REPLACED THE COMPUTER, GAS PEDAL, SENSORS AND THE ENGINE. MILEAGE ON THE BODY 260000 ON THE SECOND ENGINE 63000.

MY CAR WILL NOT ACCELERATE OVER 40MPH. I WENT TO THE MECHANICS AND IT SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER ISN'T FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY. I LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THESE CARS. I CONTACTED DODGE THEY SAID SINCE THERE IS NO RECALL THEN THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING.

TWO YEARS AGO I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENGINE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON AND IT LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH. YESTERDAY WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 65 MPH THE CAR LOST POWER. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE ESPECIALLY ON THE HIGHWAY.

GEAR SHIFTER FROZEN IN PARK, RELEASE BUTTON DID NOT WORK HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED ON FLAT BED AIR BAG LIGHT STILL ON EVEN AFTER AIR BAG RECALL

TRANSMISSION STUCK IN PARK, SAFETY RELEASE SWITCH DOES NOTHING

VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN DRIVIEWAY, PARTIALLY BLOCKING IN OTHER VEHICLES IN GARAGE, AND AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER COULD NOT BE MOVED OUT OF PARK ON THE MORNING OF 6/29/17, STRANDING VEHICLE FROM BEING MOVED BY OWNER. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE USING GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND PROBLEM LISTED UNDER CHRYSLER RECALL OF SOME 2005-2007 CHARGER/MAGNUM/300 MODELS, AND FOUND INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO TEMPORARILY INSERT SCREWDRIVER INTO SIDE OF TRANSMISSION SHIFT LEVER ASSEMBLY BY REMOVING ONE PIECE OF TRIM, AND WAS ABLE TO THEN DRIVE OVER TO DARCARS CHRYSLER/JEEP/DODGE ROCKVILLE, MARYLAND DEALERSHIP TO DROP FOR RECALL REPAIR. I LEFT VEHICLE AND THEN WAS TOLD BY SERVICE DEPT STAFF NEXT DAY ON 6/30/17 THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT PART OF RECALL, AND WOULD COST ME $510 OUT OF POCKET TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER ASSEMBLY RATHER THAN REPLACE THE SMALL CHEAP PLASTIC KNOWN CHRYSLER DEFECT THAT HAS PROBABLY ALREADY HAPPENED TO THOUSANDS...

1. AFTER FILLING THE TANK THE CAR IS SUBJECT TO ENGINE SHUTTING OFF PERIODICALLY. 2. CAR IS STUCK IN PARK AND CANNOT BE GOTTEN OUT OF PARK

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HEMI POLICE INTERCEPTOR I PURCHASED FROM THE STATE OF OREGON AT 137,000 RANDOMLY DIES. THE LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL CODE COMES ON. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THE PCM $750 HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE PLUGS $350 HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL. I ALSO GET TCM CODES. MY CAR HAS DIED AT VERY DANGEROUS TIMES, WHEN PASSING OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT.

TAKATA RECALL THE SUSPENSION IS SHOT. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE MY TIRES DUE TO THE BUSHINGS BEING JUNK AND HAVE ATE MY TIRES AWAY ON THE INSIDE DOWN TO THE METAL DUE TO THE TOE POSITIONING BEING INCORRECT. THE CONTROL ARMS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, BUT I AM IN FEAR THE REAR CAMBER MAY BE COMPLETELY OUT. ALSO, SOMETIMES MY CAR DOES NOT WANT TO TURN OVER, BUT YET THE BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR ARE FINE. ALSO, MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS A MESS. I CAN'T ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW UNLESS I SHUT OFF MY AIR OR HEAT. THEN WHEN I TURN ON MY AIR OR HEAT ALL MY INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OUT. PLUS, SOMETIMES MY TACHOMETER DOESN'T WANT TO WORK. I HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, IT IS ALWAYS MAINTAINED, BUT YET I FEEL LIKE I AM ABOUT TO HAVE TO DUMP THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS CHEAPLY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LEVER FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LEVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

THE LAST TIME I FILLED UP MY CAR, IT KEPT STALLING AND I WOULD LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHILE IN TRAFFIC WITH MY CHILDREN IN CAR. NOT VERY SAFE FEELING. SCARED I WAS GOING TO GET HIT WITH FAMILY IN CAR. IT WOULD START UP BUT IT WOULD KEEP STALLING UNTIL I RAN A FEW GALLONS OUT OF IT. I FILLED IT UP AGAIN TODAY AND NOTICED A SUCKING NOISE COMING FROM GAS TANK. IT STARTED UP THEN STALLED AS I TOOK OFF. SO I PULLED OVER AND KEPT STARTING IT UP EVERY TIME IT STALLED. AFTER ABOUT AN HOUR OF NOT STALLING I DROVE HOME AND PARKED IN GARAGE. IT WOULD STALL GOING STRAIGHT AND TURNING.

2006 DODGE CHARGES WITH 5.7 HEMI V8 - EXPERIENCING RANDOM STALLING. HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING AND ABS. FIRST HAPPENED WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY AND I HAD TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A SEMI-TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WITH MY YOUNG CHILD IN THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE GAS TANK, FUEL CANISTER, AND PURGE VALVE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE AND REGARDLESS OF WHEN IT WAS REFUELED. EVEN THOUGH THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AND EVEN TRIED CHARGING ME FOR UNNECESSARY DIAGNOSTICS. CAR DOES NOT FLASH A CODE SO AFTER REPLACING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ISSUE, DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT IF IT IS FIXED. THIS HAS LEAD TO A FEW DANGEROUS CLOSE CALLS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE...

THE DODGER CHARGER RT HAS BEEN THE WORSE VEHICLE I HAVE EVER PAID FOR. MY CHARGER IS ONLY AT 80,000 MILES AND THE CHARGER HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY.

CAR WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK WHEN PRESSING THE BREAK WITHOUT PRESSING THE PINK SWITCH INSIDE THE GEAR SHIFT. SIMILAR RECALL ON OTHER CARS, BUT NOT MY VIN.

I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND STARTED MY CAR. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR AND CAME HOME AND FOUND A MULTITUDE OF INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL CAR. I ALSO FOUND OUT HOW TO TAKE THE CONSOLE APART TO GET IN AND SHIFT THE CAR WITHOUT THE SHIFTING LEVER, SO I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP.

SAME AS CHRYSLER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39. I WAS TOLD THIS DIDN'T APPLY TO MY CAR. IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE CAR STALLED WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ENGINE MISFIRE/STUTTERING. THE STALL WAS AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. THE CAR COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTART WAS ATTEMPTED AND THE CAR STARTED PERFECTLY, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AFTER A FEW MILES, RESTARTED AND IT STALLED AGAIN - THIS CONTINUED, EACH TIME WITH THE TIME DRIVEN BEING LESS. ALL THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. I FINALLY MADE IT TO A SHOP WHERE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE STALLING ISSUE. THE CAR WILL HAVE THE PCM REPLACED IN HOPE THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE FAILURE ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS - THE CAR...
