2006 Dodge Charger Complaint Log

I OWN A 2006 5.7 HEMI DODGE CHARGER. DURING MY TRIP INTO WORK MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY IN PARK, SO I WENT THROUGH 4 CYCLES OF RESTARTING MY ENGINE. FINALLY I GOT THE CAR STARTED AND PROCEEDED DOWN MY STREET ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. AS I GAVE MY CAR GAS THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND I WENT THROUGH THE CYCLE AGAIN. I CALLED ONE OF THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLES AND THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS ON THE PROBLEM. AS I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE SPEED OF 70MPH THE ENGINE WAS HESITATING AGAIN, BUT DID NOT FULLY SHUTDOWN. I AM SURE DODGE HAS HEARD THIS COMPLAINT FROM MULTIPLE OWNERS AND I FEEL DODGE SHOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TRAVELING ON A BUSY ROAD. *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 LESS THAN HALF A TANK OF GAS) AND I CONSIDER IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE AT THIS POINT. ANYONE WANT TO BUY A USED 2006 CHARGER (HEMI)??? IT WILL BE SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY. [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. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO MOVE, AN ABNORMAL SOUND EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE, AND THE RPMS REVVED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT A BURNING ODOR EMITTED INTO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WERE UNKNOWN.

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

CAR WILL STALL WHILE DECELERATING ON FREEWAY AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE TANK WARRANTY TO LIFETIME UNDER NVS-213KRH; PE13-106 THEY ARE STILL NOT COMMUNICATING TO THE DEALERS THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS AND WHAT THE PROPER FIX IS. I ALSO CAN NOT GET THEM TO CONFIRM OR DENY THAT MY VIN IS PART OF THE GROUP OF CARS THAT THIS PROBLEM PERTAINS TO, HOWEVER I HAD THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS ALL OTHER DRIVES WITH THE CAR STOPPING AFTER REFUELING THE SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP TRIES TO BLAME THE CUSTOMER FOR 'OVER-FUELING' BUT I FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT YOU CAN NOT FILL YOUR ENGINE TO FULL ( 7/8 OR ABOVE) WITHOUT THIS ISSUE HAPPENING. WHEN YOU BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SHOW RAW FUEL IN THE CANNISTER AND WANT TO TROUBLE SHOOT IT AS A CUSTOMER ERROR. SO FAR THIS ISSUE HAS COST ME $2500 (TANK, LABOR, RENTAL, 2 CANISTERS NOW) TO FIX ON MY OWN AND CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE OF NO HELP. *TR

PE13-016, THIS ISSUE APPLIES TO MY CHARGER R/T AND ANYTIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE CAR WILL STALL AT ANY SPEED. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED FROM THE LOW SPEEDS MENTIONED TO AS HIGH AS 45 WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING AND I HAD SLOSHED THE GAS TANK. ANYWAY, I HAVE TALKED WITH MULTIPLE DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE ALL TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT AND THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT WOULD SHOW THEM MY CAR WAS AFFECTED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS CRAZY AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. I HAVE A CAR THAT WILL KILL ITSELF AFTER ANY FILLUP AND I CAN'T GET THE MANUFACTURER TO OWN UP TO WHAT THEY PROMISED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE IT STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED.

VEHICLE STALLED AFTER REFUELING, IN TRAFFIC. *JS

TIRES HAVE STRESS CRACKS ABOUT 1-INCH FROM WHERE THE TIRE IS MOUNTED TO THE RIM AND IT GOES ALL THE WAY AROUND MY TIRES. SCARED THAT THE TIRE MAY BE DEFECTED. *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 GALLONS TO AVOID THE SITUATION. UPDATED 05/15/14

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS (FULL TANK), AND LEAVING THE STATION, THE CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF. *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

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER SRT-8, AFTER A FILL-UP AT THE GAS STATION TODAY AS I PROCEEDED OUT OF THE GAS STATION I NOTICED MY CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER AS I WAS COMING ACROSS A BRIDGE. AS I CAME OFF THE BRIDGE MY CAR STARTED TO SPUTTER EVEN MORE AND FINALLY AS I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT THE CAR JUST STALLED. I RE CRANKED THE CAR NOT SURE OF WHAT WAS GOING ON AND PROCEEDED DOWN TO MY MILITARY INSTALLATION GATE ENTRANCE. AS I APPROACH THE GATE GUARD THE CAR JUST STALLS AGAIN RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MORNING TRAFFIC. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY HAVING A STALLED CAR AT THE ENTRANCE OF A MILITARY BASE. I RECRANKED THE CAR AGAIN AND PROCEEDED TO WORK AND AS I WAS GOING TO PARK THE CAR IT JUST SHUT OFF IN THE PARKING LOT. THIS SEEMS TO BE A SAFETY RELATED PROBLEMS AND DESERVES A TRUE INVESTIGATION. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE UNPREDICTABLE SO I WILL NOT DRIVE THE CAR WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT ANYMORE; I DO NOT FEEL LIKE THE CAR IS SAFE. *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.

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

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

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 FIRST TIME. *TR

ON THE LAST 2 OCCASIONS OF FILLING OUR VEHICLE WITH GAS THE CAR WILL PURGE AND STALL, LOOSING ALL POWER. I HAPPENS FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN GOES AWAY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANY CODES, THEY ALSO TOLD US DO NOT FILL THE TANK. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. I HAVE NOT BEEN FILLING THE TANK AND SO FAR SO GOOD BUT NOT THE ANSWER. ITS VERY SCARY TO JUST STALL AFTER FILLING YOUR CAR WITH GAS AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. I NEED HELP.. *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

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 REFUELING, THE CAR STALLED OUT NUMEROUS TI ES WHILE ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY. VERY LUCKY THAT I WASN'T HIT. *TR

THE FIRST TIME MY WIFES 2006 DODGE CHARGER CAR SHUT OFF/STALLED AFTER WE FILLED UP THE CAR, I THOUGHT IT MAY HAVE BEEN SOME BAD FUEL. BUT NO WAY - AS I HAVE FILLED THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND THE SAME THING HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHERE WE GET THE FUEL. LAST NIGHT, I FILLED THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER GAS TANK ON A TRIP AND WAS GETTING BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLED....LOST POWER STEERING, ETC...HAD TO QUICKLY PLACE IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART...THEN PUT INTO DRIVE AND IT WAS OKAY FOR A FEW MOMENTS. THEN THE CAR STARTED SPUTTERING AND STALLED AGAIN. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE INTESTATE 75 AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. HAD A HARD TIME CRANKING IT, BUT THEN IT DID CRANK. I STARTED TO PULL OFF AND IT STALLED AGAIN. AFTER THE 3RD TIME I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DOWN THE HIGHWAY FOR ABOUT 2 MILES AND IT STARTED SPUTTERING. IT DID THIS ABOUT 4-5 TIMES AND THEN RAN OKAY. I DROVE ON HOME, WHICH WAS ABOUT 40 MILES AND FIGURED THAT THE STALLING PROBLEM WAS BEHIND US (AT LEAST WE FILL UP AGAIN). THIS MORNING MY WIFE TOOK THE CAR TO GO TO THE GYM AND SHE HAD TO TURN AROUND AS THE CAR KEPT STALLING. IT IS DEFINITELY WORSE RIGHT AFTER THE CAR IS FILLED UP WITH FUEL, AND SOMETIMES IT SHUTS OFF IN THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DAYTONA R/T CHARGER. IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, WITH ~185K THOUSAND MILES ON THE CAR, IT BEGAN STALLING AFTER FUELING. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY DIE AND CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, AND IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO RESTART. THIS IS CAUSING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS, AS IT OCCURS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND/OR MOVING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. BECAUSE THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLS, YOU ARE LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND AT TIMES, FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC AND UNABLE TO START THE CAR TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE WAY. *TR

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

CAR WILL STALL AT IDLE OR WHEN STARTING TO ACCELERATE CAR WILL CUT OFF BY IT SELF AND THEN RESTART. *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

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

MY CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING THE TANK. IT DOES IT AT STOPS AND SLOWING SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNS ETC. I T HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. I WENT TO MY MECHANIC WHO IN TURN SAID I NEEDED AN ENTIRE FUEL TANK $1700. WHILE DEBATING ON THE HAVING IT FIXED OF COURSE CHECKING MY FINANCES. I WENT ON LINE AND SEEN NUMEROUS ARTICLES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IN THE ARTICLES YOU GUYS ARE MENTIONED FOR HAVING DONE A FEDERAL PROBE INTO THE SITUATION AND CHRYSLER EXTENDING A WARRANTY ON THE PROBLEM TO LIFE TIME. WELL THEN I WENT TO THE DEALER AND BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION AND NOBODY KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY CHARGED ME $65 TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $1900. THEY THEN GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO CHRYSLER WHO IN TURN KNEW NOTHING OF THE PROBLEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY SAYING THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM AND NO WARRANTY. I NEED TO KNOW IF IN FACT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE CLAIM BY THE NHTSA IN THE ARTICLES OUT THERE. SOME OF THESE ARTICLES ARE AS RECENT AS OF FEBRUARY 2014. I HAVE ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENTS FROM THIS ISSUE. IT HAS TAKEN NUMEROUS SCENARIOS TO TROUBLE SHOOT THIS AND WHEN READING THE ARTICLES BROUGHT EVERYTHING TO LIGHT. PLEASE HELP. THE ARTICLES MENTION 2006 CHRYSLER 300,DODGE CHARGER, & DODGE MAGNUM WITH V8 5.7 & 6.1LITER ENGINES. THIS IS WHAT I HAVE. *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

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

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE IT WILL SHUT OFF UNEXPECTEDLY AND ABRUPTLY LOCKING UP POWER STEERING. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITH LAST INCIDENT OCCURRING ON MAY 28, 2014 AT APPROX 1:00 PM WHILE TURNING RIGHT AT AN INTERSECTION CAR SHUT OFF AND IMMEDIATELY LOCKED POWER STEERING. 2 CARS WERE FEET BEHIND MY CAR WHILE ANOTHER CAR HAD ENTERED INTERSECTION ANTICIPATING OUR TURNS. CAR SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF. MUST PUT IN PARK AND RESTART CAR. CARS BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON BRAKES. *TR

THE CAR SHUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING RIGHT AFTER REFUELING AND LEAVING THE GAS STATION. IT SHUT OFF 3 MORE TIMES AFTER THAT. *TR

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

AFTER RE-FUELING, MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER WILL STALL UNTIL THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN 20-30 MILES. THE STALL WILL OCCUR AT ANY SPEED AND WILL STOP AFTER SOME FUEL HAS BEEN USED. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS STALL HAS OCCURRED AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR IT STALLS AND SHUTS OFF. THIS CAUSES LOST OF STEERING AND MAY START IMMEDIATELY AFTER OR TAKE A FEW TRIES. I'VE HAD MY SON WITH ME IN THE CAR WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I AM AFRAID THAT WE MIGHT BE REAR ENDED OR IT MAY SHUT OFF AND HAVE NO STEERING AT A CRUCIAL TURN OR IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. I SAW THAT THIS WEBSITE CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION BECAUSE DODGE (ALLEGEDLY) WAS SENDING OWNERS LETTERS TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH AN EXTENDED WARRANTY STARTING IN JAN. 2014. IT IS APRIL 2014 AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT LISTED IN THE DODGE WEBSITE. DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT AWARE EITHER. I JUST TALKED TO DODGE AND MY CAR DOES NOT FALL UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY. THEY BASICALLY TOLD ME THEY WERE NOT RESPONSIBLE IF ANYTHING HAPPENS BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. I HOPE THEY ARE NOT WAITING ON A FATALITY TO ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. DODGE NEEDS TO BE PROACTIVE AND NOT REACTIVE. I SEE COMPLAINT AFTER COMPLAINT HERE ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

THE CAR STALLED JUST AFTER FUELING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CROSS A BUSY ROAD. I WAS LUCK THAT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER A FEW TRYS AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. THE CAR STALLED TWO MORE TIMES WITHIN ONE MILE. EACH TIME, I BLOCKED TRAFFIC. I HAVE READ THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALER SINCE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANY LONGER. *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

WHILE SITTING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IT CUTS OFF. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2014. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DARCARS HILLCREST HGTS AND NEW CARROLLTON BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AND THEY HAVE YET TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS

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

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.

WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AS IF ITS FULL AND I HAVE TO SQUEEZE THE PUMP HANDLE AGAIN IT PUTS OUT ABOUT 1/2 GALLON AT A TIME, I SPEND ALMOST 30 MINUTES TO FILL MY TANK, WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, AND TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL CAUSE IT CAN SPIT THE GAS BACK AT YOU. I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER SXT WITH 78,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAUSE, CAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. ITS CAUSED BY THE FUEL FILLER NECK AS PER DEALER

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 LIGHT SO I SAT THERE FOR A WHILE REVVING THE ENGINE AND EVEN SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE SO I WENT ON MY WAY. SHORTLY AFTER I DROVE OFF IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. FROM THE GAS STATION TO MY HOME IS ABOUT 10MIN AND IN THAT SHORT TIME FRAME THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED 4 TIMES! THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL MY FUEL LVL WAS ABOUT 3/4 FULL? AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE ON DODGE FORUMS I WAS ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT MAY AND MOST LIKELY BE THE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. SOME SAY ITS A COLLAPSED GAS TANK WHICH AFFECTS A CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT IS FOR THE EVAP SYSTEM. WHEN YOU HAVE A FULL TANK AND THE SYSTEM OPENS UP TO RELEASE GAS VAPORS BACK INTO THE ENGINE IT'S ACTUALLY SENDING RAW FUEL BACK INTO THE ENGINE WHICH IN TURN FLOODS THE VEHICLE AND CAUSES THE STALL. OF COURSE THIS PART CAN'T BE REPLACED OR FIXED SINCE THE TANK AND THOSE PARTS ARE SOLD AS ONE PIECE WHICH IS BIG $$$! MY ONLY FIX FOR THIS UNTIL THIS IS RECALLED IS I DON'T GET A FULL TANK ANYMORE. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER . THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE DEFECT OCCURRED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

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

AFTER FUELING CAR FOR A TRIP, WHILE IN PARK THE IDLE SPEED INCREASED THEN THE CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT WHILE PULLING INTO THE STREET THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. LUCKILY IT STARTED BUT WHEN I PULLED UP TO THE RED LIGHT IT STALLED AGAIN AND TOOK 3-4 ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN, IT WOULD TURN OVER AND THEN DIE. FINALLY I GOT THE CAR STARTED AND WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL STOPS IN MY ROUTE I MADE IT HOME WITH NO OTHER PROBLEMS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP (DIDN'T SEEM TO HAVE ANY PROBLEMS) YESTERDAY AND TODAY I WAS TOLD I NEED TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED, THE "BROKEN" GAUGE CAN NOT BE REPLACED. I HAVE HAD 2 ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR LOSING POWER WHEN ACCELERATING ONTO THE FREEWAY IN THE LAST MONTH, BOTH AFTER FUEL UPS, BUT THE CAR HAD NEVER STALLED UNTIL RECENTLY. SEEMS VERY COSTLY, BUT MORE DANGEROUS! I FEEL IT SHOULD BE RECALLED BY DODGE DUE TO QUANTITY OF SAME COMPLAINTS! *TR

WHEN GAS TANK IS FILLED, CAR WILL STALL A FEW BLOCKS LATER. DODGE SAYS THE SENSOR IN THE GAS TANK IS FAULTY AND CAUSES THE SYSTEM TO SUCK GAS BACKWARDS THROUGH THE VAPOR RECOVERY LINES AND DEPOSIT IT INTO THE ENGINE, FLOODING THE CAR. ALL POWER IS LOST TO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, AND DRIVE TRAIN. IF YOU ARE TURNING WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WILL CAUSE A CRASH. TOTAL LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP AND DODGE/CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGE THE DANGER (I HAVE THE EMAILS TO PROVE IT). THEY SAY IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME AND THEY WILL ONLY HELP WITH FIXING THE PROBLEM IF YOU (NHTSA) ASKS THEM TO RECALL THE CARS. NOTE THAT THE SENSOR INSIDE THE GAS TANK IS THE PROBLEM. THE PART CAN BE REPLACED, BUT DODGE ONLY SELLS THE ENTIRE GAS TANK AS AN ASSEMBLY, CAUSING INCREASED COST ON THOSE OF US THAT EXPERIENCE THIS PROBLEM. WE ALL ASKING YOU (THE GOVERNMENT) TO HELP KEEP US AND OUR FAMILIES SAFE BY REQUESTING DODGE RECALL VEHICLES AND REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE DESIGN. THERE IS NO WAY A SIMPLE VAPOR RECOVERY SENSOR INSIDE THE GAS TANK SHOULD CAUSE THE GASOLINE TO FLOW THE WRONG DIRECTION, RESULTING IN A STALL THAT PRODUCES COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. IT IS WORSE WHEN PERFORMING TURNS (U-TURNS) OR AT TURNS. THIS IS A DANGER TO PEDESTRIANS, AS THE DRIVER DOES NOT EXPECT SUDDEN LOSS OF ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THE GAS STATION'S FUEL PUMP CUT OFF AFTER ACCURATELY FILLING THE TANK AND STOPPED WHEN FULL. THE TANK IS NOT OVER-FULL. IT'S A DEFECTIVE DESIGN (ADMITTED BY DODGE) THAT CAUSES GASOLINE TO BE SUCKED UP IN THE WRONG DIRECTION, FLOODING THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT WITH EXCESS FUEL. PLEASE ASSIST THE TAXPAYERS BY KEEPING US SAFE AND RECALLING THE VEHICLES WITH THIS DESIGN TO GET THE PARTS REPLACED WITH ONES THAT WILL NEVER FAULT OUT IN THE SAME MANNER. *TR
