2006 DODGE CHARGER Steering Problems

My 2006 Dodge Charger stalls after refueling, and now stutters when driving as if not getting fuel. I have noticed when attempting to break and stopping at stops this is happening more often. The car shuts down and could cause a accident. After researching this issue I found that this has been addressed already under investigation number PE13-016 by the NHTSA.

OUT OF NO WHERE MY CAR STARTED STALLING ON ME, TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, CLEANED GROUND WIRES, CHANGED O2 SENSOR, CLEANED THROTTLE BODY EVERYTHING LOOKS AND SOUNDS GOOD, BUT THE CAR STALLS, WHILE I'M DRIVING, AS WELL AS AT A STOP, SOMETIMES IT COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF AND I LOOSE ALL CONTROL INCLUDING POWER STEERING, AND SOMETIMES JUST CUTS OFF FOR HALF A SECOND AND TURNS ITSELF BACK ON, IV SEEN A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT THE GAS TANK OVERFILLING PROBLEM, AS WELL AS A IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS, I CALLED THE DEALER BUT THEY SAID THEY CAN'T ADDRESS IT SINCE MY VIN ISN'T REPORTED FOR THOSE RECALLS. MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE RIGHT NOW AND I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT THERE'S REPORTS OF MANUFACTURER FAULTS.

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.

AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL MY CHARGER WILL STALL. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 OR 6 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. I GENERALLY DO NOT FILL THE CAR UP ALL THE WAY BECAUSE OF THIS. HOWEVER JUST TODAY I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER ACCIDENTALLY FILLING IT. I DO NOT TOP OFF THE CAR WHEN FILLING ONCE THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF I STOP. TODAY AFTER GETTING GAS I WENT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STALLED. THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I WAS STRANDED HALFWAY OUT INTO THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT AND DROVE ABOUT 20 FEET BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE HIT. I DID MANAGE TO GET THE CAR HOME WHICH IS ABOUT TWO MILES AWAY BUT I...

THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, NO MATTER THE SPEED, AND THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT WHEN VEHICLE STALLS PREVENTING ME FROM BEING ABLE TO STEER THE VEHICLE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, EVEN ON THE INTERSTATE WITH OTHER FAST MOVING VEHICLES BEHIND ME, AND IS VERY DANGEROUS. I HAVE HAD DIFFERENT PARTS REPLACED TRYING TO FIX THE PROBLEM, AND WAS TOLD THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I WENT ONLINE TO SEE IF OTHER DODGE OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM, AND WAS AMAZED AT THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE EXACT SAME THING. THIS WEBSITE IS ONE OF MANY. HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T4117_DS539199 THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO START AFTER 90,000 MILES. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK DODGE (81 MACKENAN DR, CARY NC 27511, (919) 439-5394) WHERE AN ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300,000.

AFTER I FILLED UP ON GAS I DROVE OUT OF THE STATION AND A BLOCK LATER WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE. I GOT OUT OF THE ROAD PUT IT IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I DECIDED TO DRIVE TWO BLOCKS FARTHER TO THE OIL CHANGE PLACE AND IT DID IT AGAIN JUST DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET BUT STARTED RIGHT UP. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES OR ANY PROBLEMS.

AFTER FILLING UP, MY CAR ENGINE STALLS. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT. I LOOKED IT UP ON YOUR SITE AND INDEED FOUND PE13016 BUT DISAGREE WITH THE FINDING BEING THAT IT IS A LOW SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE I WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHERE I CAN'T STEER THE CAR WHATSOEVER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FUEL VAPOR LOCK IN WHICH THE EVAP VALVE STAYS OPEN AND DUE TO IT, THE ENGINE RUNS RICH BECAUSE OF THE FUEL. I WAS TOLD NOT TO OVERFILL IN WHICH I HAVE STOPPED, HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENS JUST BY FILLING UP. I HAVE HAD TO REV THE ENGINE TO BURN OFF GAS UNTIL THE ENGINE STOPS STALLING. EVERY TIME, I'VE STOPPED TRAFFIC IN THE...

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...

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE MY ENGINE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF; I LOST POWER STEERING AND ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. AFTER PULLING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION ON AND DRIVE AWAY LIKE NORMAL. I HAVE A 5.7L HEMI AND THE CAR HAS 37,700 MILES.

CAR STALLS AND ENGINE SHUTS DOWN, LOSS OF STEERING WHILE EITHER SITTING STILL OR DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AFTER ADDING FUEL TO THE CAR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL NOISE COMING FROM THE BRAKES AND THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SMELL NEAR THE TIE ROD. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SHIFTED OUT OF PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,300.

WHEN DRIVING THE ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN WITH NO FORE WARNING. THE GAS PEDDLE WILL GO TO THE FLOOR, ALL STEERING FUNCTIONS WILL BE REMOVED. THE VEHICLE LOCKS FROM 70 TO 0 IN A MATTER OF SECONDS!!! SHORTLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WILL RESTART. THUS FAR, NUMEROUS MECHANICS HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM.

AFTER FUELING, LEAVING STATION, TURN CORNER CAR STALLS. STARTS BACK UP DRIVE A LITTLE BIT STALLS AGAIN,TRYING TO PUT INTO GEAR WOULDN'T SHIFT, FINALLY GOT IT HOME. HAD THE SAME PROBLEM ABOUT 2YR AGO, TOOK IT IN HE CLEANED SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE, BILL WAS $400 SOMETHING, NOW HAPPENING AGAIN

AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, CHIMES WHEN OFF IN THE CAR THEN THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED AND CAR DROVE FINE. THE EXACT SET OF INCIDENTS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY OVER A COURSE OF A FEW MONTHS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER. AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS GETTING, TCM, ECM, MAJOR TUNE-UP, SPARK PLUG COILS, SENSORS REPAIRED THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I HAVE HAD OVER THREE DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED EVEN MORE FREQUENTLY AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. DRIVING LIKE THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE. THIS CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. AFTER READING SEVERAL ONLINE THREADS IT APPEARS THAT OTHER 06 CHARGER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND IT TENDS TO...

WHEN MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY UPON SLIGHT ACCELERATION THE ENGINE DIED, IN FRONT OF A SEMI TRUCK! WE HAD NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES! THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE!! WE WERE LUCKY TO NOT HAVE CRASHED. I THEN TURNED KEY TO OFF AND RESTARTED TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED 6 MORE TIMES AT LOWER SPEEDS I.E. 15MPH, 20, 30 MPH RANGES, WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT!? BROUGHT IT INTO MECHANIC AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE ISSUE, CAR HAD NO CODES. THEY SUGGESTED REPLACING THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR. WE DID THAT AND IT WAS FINE.. FOR 15 MILES UNTIL IT DIED AGAIN!!! STILL NO CODES, DEALER WONT HELP, I CAN'T DRIVE THE CAR AS IT IS UNSAFE. I DID SOME INTERNET SEARCHES. FOUND ABOUT A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL EVAP SYSTEM AND THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER NECK. THESE FAULTY PARTS CAUSE THE CAR TO READ FALSE...

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...

I FILLED UP WITH GAS IN CALIFORNIA WHEN ON VACATION. I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND ONTO THE FREEWAY. ABOUT A MINUTE AFTER MERGING AND GETTING UP TO SPEED THE ENTIRE CAR SHUT OFF. NO POWER, NO POWER STEERING, COMPLETELY DIED. I HAD TO MERGE THROUGH TWO LANES OF HIGHWAY TRAFFIC AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TO GET OUT OF THE FLOW OF TRAFFIC. CAR WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER PUTTING IT IN PARK AND WAITING SEVERAL MINUTES. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN HAVING THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME. I HAVE HAD FOUR OTHER INSTANCES OF THIS HAPPEN TO ME. THE OTHER TIMES I WAS ON SIDE STREETS OR IN THE PARKING LOT WAITING FOR THE CAR TO DIE. *TR

THIS INCIDENT STARTED OCCURRING IN SEPTEMBER OF 2014 BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS A "HICCUP" AND NEVER REALLY PAID IT ANY MIND UNTIL IT STARTING HAPPENING MUCH MORE FREQUENTLY. AFTER I FILL UP MY GAS TANK (I DON'T OVER FILL) MY CAR HAS INTERMITTENT ENGINE STALLS CAUSING ME TO LOSE THROTTLE RESPONSE AND MY POWER STEERING. SOMETIMES THE CAR HAS ENOUGH RPM TO RESTART THE MOTOR BUT MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY TO RESTART. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE!! SCARES ME TO DEATH. NOW I HAVE THIS STALLING ISSUE EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP. WHEN SLOWING DOWN IS WHEN THE INCIDENT IS MOST PREVALENT BUT EVEN TAKING TURNS ITS HAPPENED AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

AFTER FILLING TANK 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT V8 STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES. FIRST TWO STILL SITTING AT PUMP, NEXT AT INTERSECTION WHILE TURNING RIGHT AND ALSO LOST POWER STEERING, NEXT AT PARKING SPACE WHILE STRAIGHTENING OUT. SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD, ESPECIALLY AT INTERSECTIONS OR STALLING IN TRAFFIC. FOUND NHTSA PE13016 REGARDING THIS ISSUE, BUT I SEE IT IS CLOSED AND WAS ONLY ISSUED TO CERTAIN VINS. ALL AFFECTED MODELS SHOULD BE COVERED FOR THE TANK REPLACEMENT AND ASSOCIATED 'FLOAT' AND VAPOR PURGE VALVE. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEGAN TO STALL AFTER A GAS FILL-UP. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING. I HAD IT STALL ABOUT 5 TIMES AFTER FILLING UP TODAY. ONE IN WHICH I WAS GOING 40 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY IF MYSELF AND FAMILY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH AND APPROACHING A STOP SIGN, THE HEADLIGHTS FLASHED OFF AND ON AND A POP SOUND EMITTED FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTED FROM THE REAR TIRES AND SMOKE APPEARED. ALSO, THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

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

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...

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

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

MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHEN I PULLED INTO THE TURNING LANE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I HAD NO CONTROL. ONCE AT A COMPLETE STOP, I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR NORMALLY AND EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME PREVIOUSLY BUT I WAS ACTUALLY DRIVING AT A HIGHER SPEED AND WITH MY CHILD INSIDE!!. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE READ THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING TO MANY DODGE DRIVERS THAT HAD 2006 MODELS. *JS

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

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

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WOULD STUMBLE, MISS AND START JERKING. WAS MAKING A 90 DEGREE RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN, I HAD NO POWER STEERING NOR BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS AS I ENDED UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET. CAR RESTARTED AND RAN A FEW FEET BEFORE THE STUMBLING, JERKING AND MISSING STARTED TO OCCUR ONCE AGAIN. AFTER READING UP ON THIS PROBLEM, I HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED, AS IT (THE TANK) HAD ALL OF THE SIGNS OF A BAD "ROLL-OVER" VALVE. THIS VALVE IS MOLDED INTO THE GAS TANK AND IS NON-REPLACEABLE. ONCE THE TANK WAS REPLACED, THE PROBLEM HAS GONE AWAY AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE SINCE. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK UP, I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR STALLED OUT 7 TIMES. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK UP. THE STEERING ALSO GOES OUT. THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME STARTING BACK UP ONCE IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY ALSO. *TR

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

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

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

HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE BEEN NOTICING CLUNKING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHAKING PROBLEMS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER INSPECTED CAR AND FOUND LEFT AND RIGHT BALL JOINTS CRACKED AND BROKEN POWER STEERING LINE, ALONG WITH A BROKEN TIE ROD ON THE LEFT SIDE. I FIND THIS VERY DIFFICULT TO DIGEST AS THE CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 25,000 MILES ON IT, IT IS NEVER DRIVEN IN SNOW, AND IS CONSTANTLY IN MY GARAGE. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN ON AVERAGE OF 4,000 MILES A YEAR, AND MAINLY ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN IT IS DRIVEN. NOW I AM FACING A 1500.00 REPAIR BILL TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND OTHERS HAVE NEEDED TO DO THIS SAME REPAIR NUMEROUS TIMES ON THEIR VEHICLES AS WELL. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD STEP FORWARD AND ADMIT THAT THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE. THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY LUBRICATION ZERKS...

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?. *TR

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.

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, WITHIN MINUTES I WAS TURNING LEFT IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT AND AN ACCIDENT WAS BARELY AVOIDED. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IN FACT I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY TWO VEHICLES, ONE COMING AT ME AND THE OTHER BEHIND ME. I RESTARTED THE CAR, DROVE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS AND THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN, SAME STEERING DIFFICULTIES. STARTED THE CAR A THIRD TIME AND IT MOVED FORWARD WITH NO MORE STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 MORE TIME IN THE PAST 3 YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS, IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT FUEL INTO THE TANK. IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 20 MINUTES BECAUSE THE NOZZLE WOULD SHUT OFF. I COULD ONLY PUT IN VERY SMALL AMOUNTS EACH SQUEEZE OF THE HANDLE. I FIND THIS NOT...

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

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

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 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

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...

WITHIN BLOCKS OF LEAVING A FUEL STATION AND FILLING WITH FUEL THE VEHICLE STUMBLED THEN THE ENGINE DIED WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH ON A CITY STREAM IN THE RAIN. CAR WAS DIFFICULT TO STOP BECAUSE OF NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. *TR

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

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...

PROBLEM OCCURRED AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. FIRST INSTANCE WAS IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND MOST RECENTLY DECEMBER 2013. CAR WILL STALL NUMEROUS TIMES UNTIL SOME AMOUNT OF GAS IS BURNED OFF AFTER DRIVING. FIRST INSTANCE OCCURRED MAKING A TURN IN FRONT OF A RAILROAD TRACK. OTHER INSTANCES HAVE BEEN ON A FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER. CAR CAN RESTART ON THE FIRST RE-ATTEMPT OR TAKE UP TO 4 ATTEMPTS. CAR WILL USUALLY STALL AGAIN SECONDS LATER. A WORKAROUND IS NOT TO FILL UP THE TANK ALL THE WAY (TO THE AUTO SHUTOFF OF THE GAS PUMP) BUT THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. THIS IS WITH A 2006 DODGE CHARGER WITH A 5.7 LITER HEMI. CHRYSLER DENIED THE ISSUE BACK IN 2010 ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM WAS STARTING TO BE DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET AT THAT TIME. *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

CAR STALLED AT STOP LIGHT. TOOK A FEW TRIES TO GET STARTED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS AFTER REFUELING THE CAR. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED, I AM IRRITATED THAT IT KEEPS HAPPENING. *TR
