2007 DODGE CHARGER Engine Problems

shuts off while driving with no warning...Stalls at stop light/sign and when i try to accelerate it has barely goes.. sometimes it seems like it has no power at all and sometimes it seems like it has to much power without me accelerating. Its very dangerous this issue has almost made me get into several accidents

Filled fuel tank up until the pump shut off. As I drove onto the road, the engine suddenly died causing me to run off the shoulder as the power steering went out as well. I eventually got it re-started, but it ran rough and stalled out several more times on my way home. After some online research, I determined that it was probably raw gas getting pulled down the EVAP tube. I avoid the problem now by not filling the tank up all the way, but do it once in a while accidently and the problem returns. Highly dangerous situation.

SERVICE BULLETIN # 14-002-14: Fuel tank "roll over" valve failed immediately after fill-up saturating the purge solenoid and dryer canister for the fuel vapor vent reburning system. This service bulletin described failure caused liquid fuel rather than vapor to be dumped into the intake manifold stalling the vehicle in traffic in unsafe conditions. The car was towed to Beamon Dodge at 1705 S. Church St., 37130 awaiting repair. Dodge customer service was contacted at 1-800-423-6343 where they stated that this VIN was not covered by the service bulletin. Quoted repair for the manufacture defect is $4,680.48. Clearly the vehicles covered by this service bulletin are incomplete. Complaints of this failure can be found on the internet through 2014 when this service bulletin was issued on April 22, 2014. Clearly Dodge corrected nothing in their manufacturing and NHTSA is not protecting all consumers.

Every since had car ticks.Was driving after fill up and car just turned off having me almost hit 8 cars on the highway with my 5 year old son in car. Now will not start. Days later it starts and tick then turns off. Found out it’s common problem everybody has in these 5.7 hemi engines lifters/ cam.

MY VEHICLE BEGINS TO STALL OUT AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE IDLING. WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT OR JUST WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AT GWINNETTE CHRYSLER STONE MOUNTAIN GEORGIA AND THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE THE FUEL TANK NEEDING REPLACEMENT AFTER PAYING 3000.00 DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS THEN GIVEN A FINAL DIAGNOSIS THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS THE ISSUE AND IT WAS GOING TO COST 4500.00 TO REPLACE. TODAY IS APRIL 1 AND I JUST PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS SITTING IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 1 MONTH AND STILL THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. PLEASE HELP ME. MY VEHICLE IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH A CAR COVER BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF...

WHILE PARKED AT IDLE, RADIATOR FAN, WITHOUT WARNING, SUDDENLY AND CATASTROPHICALLY FAILS SENDING FAN BLADES INTO THE RADIATOR CAUSING RUPTURE OF RADIATOR AND UNCONTROLLED PRESSURIZED RELEASE OF COOLANT. SETTING: PARKED VEHICLE IN PARKING SPOT OF A DEPARTMENT STORE WITH INTENT TO SHOP. PLACES VEHICLE IN PARK, WITHIN A FEW SWCIDNS A LOUD EXPLOSION RESONATES FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT AND BEGINS SMOKING. I IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF. OPENED THE HOOD AND IDENTIFIED THE FAILURE.

I WAS IN A DRIVE THRU WAITING ON THE CASHIER, WHEN I HEARD A LOUD EXPLOSION AND POP FROM UNDER MY ENGINE. I COULD ALSO FEEL IT THROUGH MY BRAKE PEDAL. SCARED AND WONDERING WHAT THE HECK JUST HAPPENED? I IMMEDIATELY PULLED FORWARD AND PARKED MY CAR AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. I GOT OUT OF MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED FLUID LEAKING. I POPPED THE HOOD AND FOUND SOME SHATTERED PLASTIC PIECES. UPON MY 1ST INSPECTIONS MY FAN WAS WHAT SHATTERED. I MADE A FEW CALLS AND WHEN A MECHANIC CAME TO INSPECT 20 MINUTES LATER, HE SAID THE FAN EXPLODED CAUSING PIECES TO THEN HIT THE RADIATOR. NOW BOTH PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOW INVESTIGATION, I SEE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR CHARGERS AND I'M WONDERING WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL. I CANT EVEN IMAGINE WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED IF I WAS DRIVING. I ALSO HAD MY CHILD...

DRIVING ON CITY STREET SPEED LIMIT 40MPH CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING. IN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE OVERHEATING ISSUE A NEW WATER PUMP AND 2 NEW RADIATORS HAVE BEEN INSTALLED. THE INITIAL RADIATOR LITERALLY HAD THE ENTIRE BOTTOM FALL OUT. THE COOLING FANS WILL NOT COME ON AND ARE DAMAGED. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT THE DAMAGE TO THE COOLING FANS IS WHAT CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE RADIATOR. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE FOR 3 YEARS NOW DRIVING ANOTHER CAR IF TRAVELING MORE THAN 1 MILE FROM MY HOME. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A PROBLEM CAUSED BY THE MANUFACTURERL

I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT AND HEARD A POP. THE COOLING FAN BLADE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR HAD BROKEN AND MADE A HOLE IN MY RADIATOR. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND THEY REPLACED THE FAN BLADE AND THE RADIATOR. THREE WEEKS LATER THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO THE FAN BLADE ON THE DRIVER SIDE OF THE CAR, ONCE AGAIN MAKING A HOLE IN MY NEW RADIATOR. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A HUGE DESIGN FLAW AND, APPARENTLY, A HUGE PROBLEM WITH 2006-2008 CHARGERS. I'M SO GLAD I WAS IN TOWN ON SMALL LOCAL STREETS BOTH TIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENED. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN TERRIBLE IF IT HAD HAPPENED ON THE FREEWAY. I CHECKED WITH THE DEALER TO SEE IF THERE IS ANY KIND OF RECALL FOR THIS PART AND THERE ISN'T. I HAVE THE 5.7L V6 HEMI CHARGER AND IT...

PROBLEM #1: ONE OF THE COOLING FAN BLADES SHEERED OFF AND & FLEW INTO THE RADIATOR. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND BROKE OFF WHEN I STARTED TO ACCELERATE. I REPLACED THE BROKEN BLADE (DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO REPLACE BOTH) AND RADIATOR. ABOUT A YEAR OR LESS LATER THE OTHER FAN BLADE SHEERED OFF (THE ONE I DIDN'T REPLACE) AND WENT INTO THE RADIATOR. THIS TIME ALSO DURING ACCELERATING AFTER A COMPLETE STOP. DEJA VU. THIS TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FAN ASSEMBLY (BECAUSE THE BLADES WERE ON BACKORDER) AND RADIATOR. WHEN I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME BLADES BUT ONLY THE 2006 MODEL. PROBLEM #2: IT IS NOW LOOSING PROPULSION. THE POWER STAYS ON IT JUST STOPS MOVING FORWARD.

WAS GOING TO TOWN AND AS SOON AS I STOPPED AT THE STORE I SEEN STEAM COMING FROM UNDER MY HOOD AND POPPED THE HOOD AND HAD WATER SPRAYING OUT OF MY RADIATOR BY THE FAN GOT TO LOOKING AT IT GOOD AND ALL THE FAN BLADES WAS BROKE OFF AND ONE OF THEN WENT INTO THE RADIATOR. TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP IN TOWN AND THEY TOLD ME THE RECALL L08 WAS ONLY FOR THE V6 MOTORS AND I HAD TO FIX IT MYSELF.

I WAS DRIVING WHEN I HEARD A LOUD NOISE. I THEN WENT TO A REPAIR SHOP, I WAS TOLD THAT ONE OF THE BLADES ON THE FAN HAD BROKE AND PUT A HOLE IN MY RADIATOR. I CONTACTED DODGE AND THE LADY I SPOKE WITH DID KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT SHE STATED THAT MY CAR WAS MADE IN A DIFFERENT FACTORY SO I WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. WHICH I THINK IS UNFAIR SINCE I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM LIKE EVERYONE ELSE

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE RIDING IN OUR VEHICLE, ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HEARD A LOUD POP SOUND COME FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. MY HUSBAND THEN OBSERVED THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ON THE VEHICLE RISING, AND THE RED LIGHT SUDDENLY APPEARED. WE WERE ONLY MINUTES AWAY FROM OUR HOME WHEN THIS OCCURRED, SO WE WERE ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RETURNED HOME. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE HOOD WAS OPENED AND WE BOTH OBSERVED A PLASTIC FAN BLADE BROKEN AND HANGING OUT OF THE FAN'S CASING. WE ALSO OBSERVED FLUID INSIDE OF THE HOOD UNDERNEATH OF THW LINE DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE BROKEN HANGING FAN BLADE. WE ALSO OBSERVED FLUID ON THE GROUND DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH OF THIS LINE. VEHICLE HAS 137,000 MILES ON IT. VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO GO INTO SHOP MONDAY MORNING.

MY RADIATOR FAN MOTOR ASSEMBLY LOCKED UP AND A BLADE CAME OFF. THE BLADE WENT INTO THE RADIATOR. IT DAMANGED THE RADIATOR AND LEFT ME STRANDED. HAD NO PRIER NOISES OR PROLEMS. TOOK IT TO THE SHOP. COST ME $677.27 TO REPLACE THE RADIATOR, THE HOESE, ANTIFREEZE, HOSE CLAMPS AND RADIATOR FAN MOTOR ASSEMLY. THE GUY THAT FIXED MINE SAID HE SEE THIS EVERY WEEK IN CHARGERS. INFACT OUR WHOLE POLICE DEPARTMENT SWITCHED FROM CHARGES FOR THIS REASON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THE DODGE # AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING TO DO TO HELP OUT BECAUSE OF AGE AND MILEAGE OF CARE. WASN'T HAPPY BECAUSE ONLINE THERE ARE PLENTY OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE.MY DEALERSHIP DOESN'T FIX THEM UNLESS THEY ARE UNDERWARRANTY. THEY SEND THEM OUT TO THE SAME GUY I WENT TO IF THEY ARE OUT OF WARRANTY. I GUESS NOT TO SHOW ON THEIR BOOKS...
