2006 Dodge Charger Complaint Log

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER XT. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD STALL SPORADICALLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE CONTACT INQUIRED ABOUT A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN (TSB) UNDER NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: PE13016 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) HOWEVER, THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERED THE VEHICLE FOR UP TO 100,000 MILES AND THE CONTACT HAD EXCEEDED THE MILEAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 108,000.

WHEN TEMPS. WERE COLD LESS THAN 25 DEGRESS THE ACCELERATOR WOULD WOULD STICK AT 4,000 RPM. I COULD PUT MY FOOT UNDER THE GAS PEDAL AND LIFT IT UP TO A NORMAL IDLE. THE THROTTLE IS ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED. HERE IN MICHIGAN WITH MORE THAN 90" OF SNOW THIS SEASON AN ACCIDENT WAS WAITING TO HAPPEN, VERY UNSAFE. I TOLD THE DEALER WHAT WAS WRONG AND I EXPECTED A REPAIR $495.00 PARTS AND LABOR. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE 4 DAYS OF CONVERSATION GOT ME NOWHERE. I PAID A $99.50 FOR DIAGNOSES AND TOOK IT ELSEWHERE. THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. APON A UNDER HOOD INSPECTION THE CONNECTOR THAT PLUGGED IN THE FRONT OF THE AIR ITAKE WAS REMOVED, THROTTLE PLATE ACTUATOR. WHEN I DROVE IT IN I COULD ACCELERATE, MY 6 MILE RIDE HOME HAD A TOP SPEED OF 20 MPH AND 2 DASH LITES WERE ON. I WENT TO KEVIN [SERVICE WRITE UP] AND HE JUST BLAMED IT ON THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY...WRONG. THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY HAS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE, RUST OR ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.

REFILLED WITH FUEL AND AS I WAS PULLING OUT ON TO THE STREET THE CAR STALLED. I RESTARTED AND BEGAN TO DRIVE. IT STALLED A 2ND TIME. AFTER I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN IT SEEMED OK. EVERY SINCE THEN, EVERY TIME I FILL UP IT STALLS OUT. I HAVE TO SIT IN THE GAS STATION LOT AND LET IT RUN UNTIL IT STALLS OUT. I AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE STREET AS I MIGHT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. AFTER IT STALLS OUT A COUPLE OF TIME IN THE GAS STATION LOT, IT DOESN'T DO IT AGAIN UNTIL I FILL UP AGAIN. *TR

TYPICAL PROBLEM RELATED BY MANY AFTER REFUELING THE ENGINE DIES AND THUS, FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, I NEVER FILL TO MORE THAN 16 GALLONS. BUT, IF ONE TURNS LEFT WITH FUEL LEVEL AROUND 16 GALLONS, THE ENGINE QUICKLY DIES LEAVING THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITHOUT STEERING OR BRAKES. LEFT HAND TURNS NOW HAVE TO BE MADE AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AFTER REFUELING WHICH CAN ALSO CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS CLEARLY A RECALL ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS SORRY ISSUE WITH A PRESTIGIOUS AUTOMOBILE. *TR

DRIVING AT 65 MPH ON THE FREEWAY, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHUDDER/ HESITATE, THERE WAS SO MUCH WHITE SMOKE FROM MY VEHICLE THAT I COULD NOT SEE ANYTHING BEHIND ME IN MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE LOADED ONTO A FLAT BED TOW TRUCK. THE NUMBER 3 VALVE SEAT HAD DROPPED OUT AND SMASHED HOLES IN THE PISTON, THE DEBRIS HAD PUMMELED THE CYLINDER HEAD. THE DEBRIS HAD THEN BEEN SUCKED BACK INTO THE INLET MANIFOLD, THE DEBRIS WAS DEPOSITED INTO NUMBER 1 AND 2 CYLINDERS PUMMELING THE HEAD OF THE PISTONS AND CYLINDER HEADS. THERE WERE ACTUALLY SHARDS OF METAL EMBEDDED IN THE CYLINDER HEAD. THE VEHICLE IS NEXT TO WORTHLESS AT THIS TIME. THE VEHICLE IS A LIMITED ADDITION DAYTONA AND COST ABOUT $35K NEW. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH DODGE FOR MORE THAN A YEAR AS THIS IS A DESIGN FAULT AND APPEARS TO BE QUITE COMMON. DODGE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I SPOKE TO AN EXECUTIVE OF DODGE WITH THE TITLE OF HEAD OF TOP CARE CUSTOMER CARE FOR FIAT CHRYSLER AUTOMOBILES ON 4/9/2015, HER STATEMENT "YOU SHOULD NOT EXPECT MUCH MORE THAN 100,000 MILES FROM ANY VEHICLE". REALLY WANTS YOU TO GO AND BUY A CHRYSLER PRODUCT, I HAVE OWNED 5 OF THEIR VEHICLES IN 15 YEARS, NEVER AGAIN. *TR

MY CAR STALLS AFTER EVERY FILL UP FOR FUEL. I LATER DISCOVERED THIS WAS A COMMON COMPLAINT CAUSING RANDOM FIRES AS WELL AS REAR END COLLISIONS FROM STALLING ONTO FREEWAYS . I PAID $40K FOR THIS VEHICLE. MANUFACTURER NOR EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERS THIS COSTLY AND DANGEROUS DEFECT. I WOULD LIKE FOR THIS PROBLEM TO BE RECTIFIED BY A MANUFACTURES' RECALL OR CONSUMER REIMBURSEMENT. PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *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

CONTINUES TO STALL AFTER GAS FILL-UP IN TRAFFIC CAUSING OTHER CARS TO DODGE TO RIGHT OF LEFT TO AVOID COLLUSION. MAKES FOR DANGEROUS DRIVING AFTER FILL-UP. APPARENTLY MANY OTHER CHARGER OWNERS ARE HAVING THE PROBLEM AT AN INCREASING RATE. THIS IS SOMETHING CHRYSLER SHOULD LOOK INTO BEFORE PEOPLE GET INJURED OR WORSE! THIS IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE INTERNET. *TR

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

AFTER FUELING MY VEHICLE, I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH AROUND A CORNER AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND DIED. ONCE THE ENGINE DIED, I WAS UNABLE TO STEER AND HAD TO HARD BREAK TO AVOID GOING INTO THE OTHER LANE OF TRAFFIC AND NARROWLY AVOIDED MISSING THE ONCOMING VEHICLE IN THE OTHER LANE. ONCE I WAS STOPPED I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, IT CONTINUED TO STALL THREE MORE TIMES WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE. I WAS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD, ON A CORNER WITH LITTLE VISIBILITY. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE ON THE FOURTH ATTEMPT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE A COUPLE MILES TILL I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND DIED AGAIN RIGHT AS THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I AGAIN HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE THREE TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD STAY RUNNING. THERE WERE MULTIPLE VEHICLES BEHIND ME AT THE LIGHT, THANKFULLY THEY HAD COME TO A STOP BEFORE I STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST, BUT IT IS GETTING WORSE AND I NO LONGER FEEL IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS OVER $2,000 AND THERE IS NO MANUFACTURERS RECALL AT THIS POINT. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS IS NOT A WEAR ITEM, IT IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THIS IS MY FAMILY CAR, AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN AS THERE IS A GREAT RISK TO THEIR SAFETY. *TR

THE PROBLEM STARTED BACK IN DECEMBER OF 2013 AT 77,000 MILES. WHEN I FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION (I NEVER TOP OF) THE CAR STALLS AND SHUTS OFF. IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL UP. I PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND IT SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. DEALER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING. MY MAIN CONCERN IS SAFETY AND THE REPEATED SERVICE VISITS AND COST. THE LAST TIME WAS SCARY BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I STARTED UP THE CAR AGAIN IT SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I MANAGED TO GET HOME BUT THE CAR SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE DRIVE. *JS

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

ON 12-14-2013, I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK. I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND INTO TRAFFIC AND STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHILE AT THE RED LIGHT, VEHICLE STALLED AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON. TURNED THE CORNER AT THE RED LIGHT AND GOT INTO MY PARENTS SUBDIVISION AND VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN. GOT THE VEHICLE STARTED AND PULLED INTO THE DRIVEWAY. ON 12-15-2013, VEHICLE STALLED CLOSE TO PARENTS DRIVEWAY. ATTEMPTED TO RESTART. VEHICLE WOULD NOT START ON FIRST ATTEMPT AND ON THE SECOND ATTEMPT, I HAD TO PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO START THE VEHICLE. GOT IT STARTED AND PUT THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY. NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY AND HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED. DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND PROBLEM RIGHT AWAY AND I ASKED THEM TO LOOK AT THE ROLLOVER (VENT) VALVE IN THE GAS TANK. THEY CHECKED THE ROLLOVER (VENT) VALVE AND FOUND THAT IT WAS THE PROBLEM. GOT IT REPAIRED AND THE FINAL COST WAS $1446.47. *TR

STALLS AND SHUT OFF AFTER FILL UP. *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

VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET WHILE DRIVING DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE HIT ME (ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR). I HAD JUST FILLED UP THE GAS TANK (DID NOT OVERFILL--GAS IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THAT). HAD IT TOWED AND THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, O-RING UNIT, VAPOR CANISTER, SOLENOID-PROPORTIONAL PURGE AND SOME MISC. PINS ETC. COST ME $1900.00 OUT OF MY POCKET WITH THE DEALER GIVING ME A 10% SERVICE DISCOUNT. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT WITH THE VAPOR CANISTER FAILING, IF YOU WERE IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT THE CAR MOST LIKELY WOULD CATCH FIRE WHICH WOULD DEFINITELY DECREASE YOUR CHANCES OF SURVIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANYONE THAT IS DRIVING OR RIDING IN THE VEHICLE EVEN IF IT ONLY SHUTS OFF. YOU CAN NOT BRAKE OR STEER WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF SO GETTING OUT OF HARMS WAY IS A CHALLENGE WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I SEE THAT THERE ARE A HUGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT AS A SERVICE RECALL. NOT AN ALERT OR BULLETIN BUT AN ACTUAL RECALL. I GUESS WHEN PEOPLE START LOSING THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THEIR LOVED ONES THAT ARE PASSENGERS THEN MAYBE DODGE WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. I SEE THAT THERE IS SOME INFO OUT THERE THAT DODGE WAS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK/SYSTEM AND LETTERS WERE TO BE SENT TO THE CAR OWNERS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. DODGE USED TO HAVE "SAFETY FIRST" ON THEIR WEBSITE. ODD, I DON'T SEE THAT ANYMORE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FILLING UP FUEL TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT THEY WERE NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 08V583000 (POWER TRAIN). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

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

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

AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE I DROVE ABOUT 1/4 MILE RELEASED THE GAS PEDAL TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AT A CONTROLLED INTER SECTION, THE MOTOR DIED DURING THE TURN. THE CAR DID NOT RESTART EASILY. THE CAR DIED 3 MORE TIMES IN ROUTE TO MY HOME WHICH WAS LESS THAN A MILE FURTHER. THIS HAS HAPPENED THE LAST 5 OR MORE TIMES I HAVE FILLED THE GAS TANK. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE NEW AND I AM THE SOLE DRIVER. I AM AFRAID THIS MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE IF NOT REMEDIED. YESTERDAY I SPOKE TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR IS SERVICED, I WAS INFORMED THE FIX FOR THIS IS REPLACING THE FUEL TANK DUE TO A DEFECTIVE PART INSIDE OF THE TANK WHICH IS NOT SERVICEABLE. I THAN CALL THE DODGE CORP. CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER WERE THEIR AGENT READ A PREPARED STATEMENT REGARDING THE EXPIRED WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM WHICH COULD LEAD TO A DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IT BECOMES INCREASINGLY WORSE. THANK YOU FOR THIS FORUM. *TR

FILLED UP FUEL TANK ON 11/28/13 AND ON 12/1/13 AND ABOUT 200 FEET AFTER EXITING GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED, I RESTARTED THE CAR AND IT DROVE ANOTHER FEW HUNDRED FEET AND IT STALLED A COUPLE MORE TIMES. AFTER READING SOME ARTICLE I FOUND THIS HAS BECOME A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS CAR. I FEEL IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE CAR STALLING SECONDS AFTER PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC RISKING GETTING REAR ENDED OR T BONED. *TR

AFTER FUELING CAR, THE ENGINE STALLED. LUCKILY I HAD NOT PULLED INTO TRAFFIC YET. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER A COUPLE OF ATTEMPTS AND DRIVE BACK INTO THE PARKING LOT. THE ENGINE STALLED AGAIN. AFTER THAT, THE CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE NEAREST DODGE DEALERSHIP. BECAUSE IT WAS THANKSGIVING, AND EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED, I HAD TO DELAY MY TRIP A DAY BEFORE CONTINUING ON TO MY DESTINATION. THE NEXT DAY THE DEALERSHIP CALLED AND SAID IT WAS RUNNING FINE AND COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. I HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS UNTIL SUNDAY ON MY WAY HOME. I STOPPED TO FILL UP THE TANK AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THIS TIME I DIDN'T LEAVE THE GAS STATION IN FEAR THAT IT MIGHT HAPPEN AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED AND KEEP IT IDLING FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IN TRAFFIC. THIS PROCESS TOOK ABOUT 2 HOURS. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WHEN FILLING THE TANK WITH GAS. I AM UNABLE TO TRAVEL OUT OF TOWN BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO GET STRANDED AGAIN AND OR WORSE, CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND INJURE SOMEONE. THE ONLY TIP I CAN OFFER THAT HAS HELPED WITH THIS ISSUE IS TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE FUELING. I KNOW THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED, BUT IT HAS HELPED PREVENT THE ENGINE FROM STALLING AFTER FUELING AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

WHILE NAVIGATING A PARKING LOT (APPROX. 5 MPH) MINUTES AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE ENGINE DIED. THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON, THE RPM GAUGE DROPPED TO ZERO AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT TO TURN. WE WERE ABLE TO SHIFT INTO PARK AND START THE CAR FAIRLY EASILY, BUT THE ENGINE TURNED OVER FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE STARTING. THE ENGINE STALLED TWICE MORE WHEN LEAVING THE SAME PARKING LOT AND HAD TO BE STARTED AGAIN EACH TIME. WE EXPERIENCED ENGINE HESITATION (SEEMED TO LOSE ALL POWER) WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 40 MPH ON THE WAY HOME. THERE WERE AT LEAST FOUR HESITATIONS AND WE WERE WORRIED IT WOULD DIE COMPLETELY. THESE HESITATIONS HAVE HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE AND ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. THE SEVERITY OF THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO BE INCREASING WITH EACH INCIDENT. WE ARE VERY CONCERNED THAT WE WILL STALL IN A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHILE DRIVING AND ARE NOW AFRAID TO FILL THE TANK COMPLETELY. WE NEVER "TOP OFF" THE CAR'S GAS TANK AND ALWAYS STOP FUELING AFTER THE STATION PUMP SHUTS OFF AUTOMATICALLY. *TR

AFTER A FULL FILL UP, WHILE DRIVING CAR STARTED CHUGGING, AND STALLED. AT RED LIGHTS, OR STOP SIGNS, CAR STALLED AND DIED. AT A STOP, GOING TO START THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, CAR STALLED. *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 TRAFFIC AGAIN, NOT EVEN 10 MINUTES LATER. I WAS ABLE TO START IT, AND MAKE IT HOME. AND IT'S SITTING AT HOME TODAY, DECEMBER 5TH, 2013. *TR

ENGINE OVERHEATED, IMMEDIATELY SHUT OFF AND, I NOW NEED A NEW ENGINE. THERE WERE RECALLS FOR SOME OF THE ENGINE COOLING FANS IN MY CAR YEAR AND MODEL (06 DODGE CHARGER), BUT I AM BEING TOLD THAT IT DOES NOT APPLY TO ME. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE OIL WARNING LAMP. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

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

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

WARMED UP MY CAR AS I ALWAYS DID IN THE MORNING FOR 15 MIN PULLED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND PROCEEDED TO THE DOWN THE STREET TO THE STOP SIGN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND MY CAR STARTED TO IDLE HARD CONTINUED DOWN THE STREET AT 35 MPH AND CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP LIGHT THE CAR STARTED TO IDLE HARD AGAIN THEN THE RED LIGHTING BOLT STARTED TO FLASH AND CAR SHUT OFF. I PUT MY CAR BACK IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE CAR PROCEEDED FOR ANOTHER FILE MILE APPROACHED ANOTHER STOP LIGHT LIGHT AND SAME THING HARD IDLE AND SHUT OFF. I TOOK MY CAR TO FOUR DIFFERENT DEALERSHIPS NO ONE KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS. ONE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT COULD BE THROTTLE BODY SO I HAD HIM REMOVE IT AND CLEAN IT HE ALSO REMOVED THE CABLES TO BATTERY TO RESET IT CAR WORK FINE FOR THREE DAYS NO PROBLEM THE ON THE FOURTH DAY DID AS I ALWAYS DID WARM UP CAR AND TAKE OFF CAR SHUT OFF AT FIRST STOP LIGHT. I NOTICED THAT IT DIDN'T DO IT WHILE IT WAS WARM OUT SIDE THIS MORNING WAS REALLY COLD AND SAME ISSUE. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY STALL WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITHIN 5 MILES OF FUELING UP. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS IF I AM TURNING AND ANOTHER VEHICLE IS COMING AT ME. I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING. TO START IT AGAIN I HAVE TO EITHER COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK, OR I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY WHILE MOVING. THIS CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS UNDER SEVERAL SITUATIONS. *TR

AFTER FILL UP MY CAR STALLS AT STOP SIGNS AND WHEN MAKING TURNS. I HAVE TO STOP TO GET IT STARTED THEN IT RUNS ROUGH FOR AWHILE. THIS HAD HAPPEN A WEEK BEFORE THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENS. *TR

SINCE ABOUT 4 YEARS AGO MY 06 CHARGER DAYTONA HAS BEEN STALLING FOR UNKNOWN REASONS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERS ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I CAME TO KNOW THAT DODGE HAD A REAL ISSUE WITH SAFETY CONCERNING THE EVAP SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD LATER THAT AN UNSERVICEABLE VALVE ON THE GAS TANK WAS FAULTY AND THEREFORE THE GAS TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; ITS TOO EXPENSIVE. IT HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING BECAUSE THE ENGINE STALLING AFTER FUELING HAS GOTTEN BAD. I'VE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD TWICE AND NUMEROUS TIMES BEFORE A STOP OR RED LIGHT. ITS ONLY MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOME BODY GETS HURT OR KILLED. *TR

11/16/13 I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY GAS TANK ON I95 AT LADYSMITH, VA AND WAS COMING DOWN THE RAMP NORTHBOUND WHEN THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STALLED JUST AS I MERGED ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I PULLED OVER AFTER GETTING BLASTED BY TRUCKERS HORNS FOR MAKING THEM SLAM ON BRAKES. AFTER A COUPLE ATTEMPTS IT RESTARTED AND I TOOK OFF AGAIN, ONLY TO HAVE IT STALL AGAIN. IT DID THIS THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED AND DID NOT STALL. SINCE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, I FIGURED I JUST GOT SOME BAD GAS. THEN IT HAPPENED THE NEXT TIME I FILLED UP. AND THE NEXT. AND THE NEXT. I CHECKED ON-LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS WHO HAD EXPERIENCED THIS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAS BEING FILLED TO THE BRIM THAT CAUSED IT. I TRIED FILLING UP LESS THAN A FULL TANK AND THIS DID SEEM TO WORK. ONLY PROBLEM IS I NOW WANT TO SELL OR TRADE IN THE CAR AND I DON'T FEEL RIGHT PASSING THIS PROBLEM ALONG TO SOMEONE ELSE. I SAW THE ARTICLE ABOUT NHTSA FORCING CHRYSLER TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON 2006 HEMI CHARGERS AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR $1100. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER SET UP A PROGRAM FOR THESE REPLACEMENTS? IS THERE A LIST OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED BY THE NEW EXTENDED WARRANTY? CAN I PLEASE SEE IF MY CAR IS ON IT AND IF NOT WHY NOT? *TR

ENGINE STALL AFTER REFUEL. IN RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, NHTSA #PE13016 ADDRESSES THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I HAVE YET TO RECEIVE ANY DOCUMENTATION THAT ALLOWS REPAIR OF MY VEHICLE. DODGE STATES MY VEHICLE ISN'T COVERED. *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

AFTER FUELING UP MY CAR, I JUMPED ONTO THE HWY AND MY VEHICLE STARTED JERKING AND THEN STALED ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO STARTED IT BACK UP BUT IT STOP ON MY AGAIN. MADE IT HOME AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE THE NEXT DAY. I THOUGHT I GOT SOME BAD GAS. THEN, THIS KEPT HAPPENING AFTER I WOULD PUT GAS INTO MY TANK. I FINALLY TOOK IT IN, JANUARY DUE TO I WAS ALMOST REARED END WHILE TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL. I JUST FOUND OUT IT WAS THE FUEL TANK AND IT WILL COST ME 1800 DOLLARS TO REPLACE THE PART. *TR

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT STOPPED OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN . I HAVE HAD PCM, ECM, COILS, AND SPARK PLUGS AND STILL EXPERIENCING SAME SHUT OFF. *TR

WHEN I FILL MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER UP WITH GAS. IT WILL RUN ABOUT 1/4 MILE THEN STOP RUNNING. IT WILL CRANK BACK UP. RUN JUST A LITTLE WAYS AND STALL AGAIN. IT DOES THIS THREE TIMES. THEN RUNS GOOD UNTIL I FILL THE GAS TANK UP AGAIN AND IT STARTS TO STALL THE SAME WAY .THIS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH ON 75 SOUTH. THIS CAR DOES NOT SHOW ANY CODES CALLED DETROIT THEY SAY THAT THEY DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS, BUT ON THE NET HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR STALLED. NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO GET THE CAR STARTED FAILED. CAR WOULD TRY TO START, BUT WOULD NOT CATCH. AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT, CAR WOULD START. NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER FILLING, THE CAR WOULD CHUG AND LOSE POWER OR KILL ALL TOGETHER. *TR

AFTER FILLING TANK TO FULL AND LEAVING GAS STATION TO MAKE A LEFT TURN ON GREEN, VEHICLE ENGINE STOPPED AND HAD TO RESTART TWICE IN ORDER TO MAKE THE TURN SAFELY. ENGINE CONTINUED STALLING UNTIL AFTER APPROXIMATELY 4 MILES IT FINALLY STAYED RUNNING. THIS SAME OCCURRENCE HAPPENED BEFORE ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, AND READ ABOUT OTHER 2006 CHARGER 5.7 HEMI OWNERS HAVING SAME ISSUES. THE CAR CANNOT BE FILLED UP WITH FUEL COMPLETELY WHICH IS A GREAT INCONVENIENCE AND DANGER, ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU NEED TO ENTER TRAFFIC OR MAKE A SAFE LEFT OR RIGHT TURN. DODGE REFUSES TO REPAIR OR ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUES , CANNOT GET RID OF THE CAR AND PURCHASE SOMETHING ELSE AS I AM A DISABLED VETERAN. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FILL-UP! ACTS AS THOUGH IT'S FLOODED AND DIES. ONLY HAPPENS AFTER FILING IT UP WITH GAS. DRIVE ABOUT A 1/4 MILE THEN IT STARTS TO DIE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW ABOUT A RECALL? *TR

FILLED MY TANK AT GAS STATION, GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLED (AT OVER 60MPH). CAR WOULD RESTART W/OUT PROBLEM, BUT IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. IT CLEARED UP AND I ASSUMED IT WAS BAD GAS (WATER, PERHAPS). HAD COMPANY IN TOWN THE NEXT WEEK. SAME, FILLED TANK, GOT ON IH-35, AND THE CAR STALLED ON A FLYOVER (MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF THOSE DRIVING BEHIND ME). I LOST POWER STEERING/BRAKING AND ALMOST RAN INTO TO WALL (WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR). I FOUND OTHERS WHO'D HAD SIMILAR TROUBLE, AND KNEW I COULDN'T AFFORD THE NEW TANK. RECENTLY, I SAW THAT DODGE HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TANK; SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I GET MY MAINTENANCE DONE. THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS A FUEL TANK PROBLEM (THE SAME OTHERS HAVE HAD), BUT DENIED THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THEY SAID THE SAME. I KNOW OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT BOTH TIMES IT OCCURRED GOING OVER 60MPH FOR ME, AND I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

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

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

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

VEHICLE STOPPED AFTER FILLING WITH GAS. STARTED UP AGAIN AND SHUT DOWN RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAPPENS FREQUENTLY AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. COULD ONLY PUT IN ONE INCIDENT BUT THIS IS AN ON GOING ISSUE. IT APPEARS THERE IS AN AGREEMENT IN HAND FOR CORRECTION WHY ISN'T IT PUBLISHED? *JS

I OWN A 2006 DODGE CHARGER SRT8 WITH ABOUT 31,000 MILES ON IT. I JUST GOT THE VEHICLE ON OCTOBER 25, 2013 AND HAVE ONLY HAD IT FOR A MONTH. A COUPLE WEEKS AFTER I HAD THE CAR, I NOTICED A BIG PROBLEM. MY ENGINE WOULD JUST SHUT OF WHEN I WAS IDLING. USUALLY THIS WOULD HAPPEN WHEN I WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC, OR AT A RED LIGHT, OR AT A STOP SIGN AT AN INTERSECTION. THE ENTIRE CAR WOULD JUST SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY AND I WOULD HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE VEHICLE. THERE WAS NO WAY OF BEING ABLE TO TELL WHEN THIS PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR BECAUSE THERE WERE NO EARLY WARNING SIGNS SUCH AS CHUGGING OR NOISES COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT STARTED GETTING REALLY BAD TO THE POINT WHERE I NEED TO GET IT FIXED. I WAS RESEARCHING ONLINE AND READING FORUMS AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER ENGINES OF THIS MODEL. HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. APPARENTLY, IT IS A FAULTY FUEL VAPOR VALVE ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE ONLY WAY TO REPAIR IT IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK WHICH IS GOING TO COST ME WELL OVER $1000. I WANT TO KNOW WHY THIS ISN'T A SAFETY RECALL AND WHY IT HASN'T BEEN. *TR

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
