2006 DODGE CHARGER Electrical System Problems

I was almost rear-ended by a semi when the vehicle stalled at a light while picking my son up from work. It seems to stall at stop signs or waiting at lights completely. It stalls while idling here and there sometimes. Sometimes when driving on the e-way it jerks as it wants to stall but not completely. The main codes that pop up is u0100. Sometimes p0700 pops up and then sometimes the u0100 pops up along with a bunch of other codes. This has just started happening with my previous 2006 Dodge Charger 5.7 which has happened once or twice and a u0100 code pops up when scanned. I've scoured the internet for solutions and notice. There's a lot of people going through this similar situation and it so happens to be the 2006 year that's plagued with this problem. Even getting a new PCM doesn't solve the problem. Whomever is in charge of the Dodge company needs to figure out the exact cause of this problem before a driver/passengers gets injured or killed in an accident because of it. Please put some fire under their butt

My car has been stalling intermittently. But lately it's becoming more frequent. I've taken it to 3 different repair shops. Diagnostics shows P0700 and U1000 codes. The last shop charged me 150 dollars just to tell me that they don't know what's causing my car to stall. So I'm kind of lost here. Please help me.

Vehicles pcm failed causing the vehicle to shutdown randomly with no warning leaving you with a non running car in the middle of running traffic the PCM is not available for inspection sadly but have found through research that this is a common issue the PCM was found to be faulty by a technician at south pointe cjdr

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the vehicle would start after the second attempt. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle shut off while driving from a complete stop. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure occurred while driving at various speeds. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The contact restarted the vehicle and continued driving. The contact also stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked and shuddered. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that there was a communication failure to the transmission. The independent mechanic cleaned the throttle body; however, the failure persisted. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000. The VIN was not available.

Car will stall and not start after filling with gas. After awhile car will run but shut off randomly. This can happen while driving. Car has been stuck at intersections and will stall even doing highway speeds. All lights will appear on dash engine car will lose all power. Small ding before it dies.

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.

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.

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.

HEADLIGHTS AND DASH RANDOMLY FLICKER AND SHUT OFF WHILE CAR IS ON AND WHILE DRIVING. TESTING INDICATES THE PROBLEM IS IN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OR WIRING TO THE SWITCH. WHEN HEADLIGHT SWITCH REMOVED, HEADLIGHTS ARE IN ALWAYS ON MODE, AND THERE IS NO FLICKERING OR SHUTTING OFF. HEADLIGHT SWITCH MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL FLICKERS WITH NEW SWITCH/KNOB. DEALER UNABLE TO FIND AND FIX ISSUE DUE TO INTERMITTENT NATURE OF PROBLEM. SEVERE PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AND NIGHT AND LIGHTS TURN OFF. PROBLEM ALSO IS IRRITATING AS IT LOOKS LIKE I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT OTHER VEHICLES.

I TOOK MY 06 CHARGER IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL AND WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER MY CAR SHUT OFF AT EVERY LIGHTS AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF GOING 40 50 MILES AN HOUR. IT CONTINUES TO DO THAT MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT SO MANY OF THE 6TH GENERATION DODGE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY A PROBLEM THAT CAUSES YOU TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IS NOT ADDRESSED. FIRST IT START TELLING ME THAT IT WAS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEM, THEN IT'S NOW TELLING ME THAT IS A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE AND THE ECM. THIS HAPPENED EXACTLY ONE MINUTE AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER GETTING MY AIRBAGS RECALLED. IT STALLS AT WHEN STATIONARY, WHEN MOVING, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, AND EVERY COUPLE MINUTES. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING ADDRESSED.

Mileage: 105,000

I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS. FIRST WHILE DRIVING ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON THEN GO RIGHT OFF. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS MY CAR WILL TURN OVER AND SOMETIMES START BUT DIE IMMEDIATELY.

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 HAD TO RESTART IT FOUR MORE TIMES. I'VE GOT ROUGHLY 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE AND WITH ANY REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. I SEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE EVEN THOUGH A LOT OF PEOPLE SEEM TO BE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM NOT ONLY WITH THE CHARGERS BUT WITH THREE HUNDREDS AS WELL

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 THIS EVERYWHERE ON THE INTERNET AND FORUMS, SOME SAY ECM NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OTHER SAY THE FUEL TANK AND THE OTHER SAYS SOMETHING ABOUT THE KEY FOB NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEY. I WANT THIS INVESTIGATED AND A RECALL TO BE ISSUED. FROM EVERYONE I HAVE SPOKEN TO EVERY SINGLE 2006 DODGE CHARGER HAS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 5.7 LT WITH THE HEMI.

IT NOW AFFECTS MY HEADLIGHTS BY MAKING THEM FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE PAST YEAR AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. THERE IS A PAST TIME DEVICE INSTALLED WHICH INTERFERED WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK OUT THE SECURITY SYSTEM AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE ENGINE STALLS BEGAN. ENGINE STALLS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT NOT OFTEN. THE HEADLIGHTS HAPPEN EVERYDAY AND IS GETTING WORSE.

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.

THERE ARE NO CODES THAT FLASH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON EXCEPT FOR WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. A SIMPLE SEARCH WILL VERIFY WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT. IT IS NOT THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS WHILE STILL AND HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION. A WHILE BACK I WAS TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND IT HAPPEDEN AT THAT POINT.

I HAVE COMPLAINED ON THIS VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. IT CONTINUES TO HAVE A RANDOMLY STALLING ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT IS NOT THE GAS TANK. IT HAS FINALLY STARTED CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON (YAY! IT MIGHT ACTUALLY GET FIXED). JUST KIDDING! THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE CODES THAT SHOW UP ARE GENERAL PCM CODES THAT MEAN NOTHING. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS IT MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE PCM, ECM, OR NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS. EITHER WAY, MOST OF US GO WITHOUT CARS FOR WEEKS WHILE MECHANICS CANNOT FIND THE ACTUAL CAUSE THUS CANNOT FIX A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. MOST OF US DON'T WANT TO DRIVE VEHICLES THAT STALL WHILE GOING 40 MPH.

WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE DRIVEABILITY OF THE CAR (BRAKES, TRANS, ETC. ALL STILL FUNCTION).

I GOT MY FUEL TANK REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (NEW FUEL TANK & O-RING PART #S: CNSTX531AA AND CNSTX532AA) AND NOW STALLING IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. ENGINE WANTS TO STALL ANYWHERE FROM 0-30 MPH NOW WHETHER THE TANK IS FULL, HALF EMPTY OR NEAR EMPTY. THE CAR'S STALLING CAN BE PREVENTED BY PROVIDING QUICK ACCELERATION, WHICH WILL TEMPORARY FIX THE ISSUE, ONLY TO HAVE IT COME BACK LATER. THE CHOICE BETWEEN STALLING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND LOSING POWER STEERING & OTHER NECESSITIES, OR QUICKLY ACCELERATING TO PREVENT A STALL, LEAVE DRIVERS WITH TWO UNSAFE, DANGEROUS CHOICES EACH. THE FUEL TANK RECALL DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. IF ANYTHING, IT MADE IT WORSE, MORE DANGEROUS, AND MADE A MINOR DEFECT/ANNOYANCE INTO A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAN NOT BE "BURNT OFF" LIKE THE EXCESS GAS IN THE PREVIOUS FUEL TANK. DEALERSHIPS GIVE US THE RUN AROUND. SAYING THEY EITHER DON'T HAVE THE PIECE, OR THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE THE NEW, YET STILL FAULTY, FUEL TANK. IT'S BECOMING A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH NO REAL REMEDY IN SIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP BLAMES CHRYSLER/DODGE AND CHRYSLER/DODGE BLAMES THE DEALERSHIP. THE TWO POINT FINGERS AND SCAPEGOAT EACH OTHER, LEAVING THE CUSTOMER TO EITHER REPLACE EVERYTHING OUT-OF-POCKET OR DRIVE A SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED AND DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I WENT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH TWO MINOR DTC CODES THAT I PLANNED ON REPAIRING (THEY WERE NONIMMEDIATE AND NOT SERIOUS) AND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WITH 15 CODES. CHRYSLER EVEN GAVE ME A "CASE MANAGER" FOR THIS, BUT THE CASE MANAGER SAID ALL THEY CAN DO IS RELY ON THE DEALERSHIP'S DIAGNOSTICS... LITERALLY JUST A WASTE OF TIME. WHY EVEN ASSIGN A CASE MANAGER? I TOOK THE CAR IN TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (AKA FREE)... I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT WITH NO FINANCES FOR REPAIR. NOW, I'M LEFT WITH A FAULTY, UNSAFE, NEARLY INOPERABLE VEHICLE WITH NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN.

WHILE DRIVING FROM POINT A TO POINT B APPROXIMATELY 17 MILES, THIS VEHICLE STALLED 7 TIMES. MOSTLY STALLING WHILE AT A LIGHT IT HAS INCREASED TO WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. ONE TIME SPECIFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION CAUSING A BACK UP IN TRAFFIC AND NEAR ACCIDENT. WHILE UNDERSTANDING THIS ISSUE HAS MAINLY BEEN INVESTIGATED AND REPORTED AFTER FILL UP, THIS INSTANCE IS NOT. THIS IS A DAILY ISSUE THAT DEMANDS ATTENTION. MECHANICAL TECHS CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH THIS APPARENTLY HAS HAPPEN ENOUGH WITHOUT RESOLUTION BUT HOW MANY CLOSE CALLS ARE GOING TO TURN TO FATALITIES BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE?

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT COULD BE ANYTHING IN THE FRONT END CAUSING A SHORT AND HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS BUT THIS IS NOT A DETERMINED RECALL AT THIS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AND WANTS TO CHARGE EXTRA MONEY JUST TO LOOK AT IT. CONSIDERING I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER DRIVERS WITH THE SAME MAKE/ MODEL/ YEAR VEHICLE IN CAR FORUMS AND BLOGS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE, I'M HOPING THIS REPORT WILL HELP PUSH FOR AN INVESTIGATION AS I HAVE TO DRIVE FOR MY EMPLOYMENT AND DO NOT WANT TO GET A TRAFFIC TICKET FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *TR

DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM BUT THE CAR WILL ALSO SURGE FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED LIKE I HAVE STEPPED ON THE GAS BUT MY FOOT WOULD BE ON THE BRAKE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT SCARES ME TO DEATH. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURE.

VEHICLE JERKS WHILE DRIVING AS IF SOMETHING IS STARTING TO DIE OR GO OUT, THEN STARTS RUNNING AGAIN. ONLY APPEARS TO HAPPEN AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK TO COMPLETELY FULL. VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WITHIN SEVERAL FEET AFTER FUELING UP, THEN RESTART AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. YOU DRIVE MAYBE AN EIGHTH OF A MILE AND AS YOU SLOW TO A STOP, THE CAR WILL STALL OUT AND DIE AGAIN. USUALLY FINE FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING. VEHICLE EVENTUALLY SHUTS OFF WHEN I COME TO A NEAR STOP OR AM STOPPED. OIL LAMP LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN THE CAR DIES. TRIED RESTARTING TWICE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THEN WAITED A FEW MINUTES. TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND WAS SUCCESSFUL. IT SEEMS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS, BUT IT SEEMS I HAVE TO DRIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BURN OFF SOME GAS TO KEEP THE GAS TANK UNDER FULL AT ALL TIMES TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM. *TR

MY CAR WAS USING WAY TOO MUCH GAS COMPARED TO WHAT IT USED TO AND WAS RUNNING POORLY SO I TOOK IT IN FOR A TUNE UP. THE FILTERS, PLUGS, FLUIDS, ETC. WERE DONE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THE TUNE UP I BEGAN TO HAVE TROUBLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SHOP THAT HAD DONE THE TUNE UP BUT AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF LETTERS FROM OTHER PEOPLE, I KNOW NOW THAT IT IS THE CAR. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS: WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT STOP SIGN, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND DIED WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF THE STOP SIGN. THE CAR STARTED UP AND SEEMED FINE. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, AGAIN, I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STALLED ABOUT 4 BLOCKS FROM THE STOP SIGN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL SEPTEMBER15, 2014, WHEN THE CAR DIED WHEN I WAS APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I HAVE 5 GRANDCHILDREN THAT I TRANSPORT DAILY AND THIS CAR IS JUST NOT SAFE TO DO SO ANYMORE. THANK GOODNESS I HAVE NOT GONE OUT OF TOWN WITH A CAR LOAD OF CHILDREN AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN.

2006 DODGE CHARGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE HAD A TRANSMISSION LEAK, AND IT SHUDDERED, THE SUN ROOF RATTLED AND THE SIDE TRIM FELL OFF. A FORMER TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST, INFORMED THE CONSUMER, THE CONDENSATION DRAIN FOR THE AIR CONDITION DRIPPED ONTO THE TRANSMISSION AND POOLED AROUND THE TRANSMISSION FILLER TUBE. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHED A 140,000 MILES, IT BEGAN EMITTING WHITE SMOKE, TO THE POINT WHERE THE CONSUMER WAS UNABLE TO SEE OUT OF HIS REAR VIEW MIRROR. AN INSPECTION REVEALED THE VALVE SEAT OF THE #3 CYLINDER HAD DROPPED OUT, SMASHING TWO LARGE HOLES ONE ON EACH SIDE OF THE PISTON, THE SIZE OF A QUARTER. THERE WAS ALSO A HAIRLINE CRACK ACROSS THE APEX OF THE PISTON HOLE-TO-HOLE, THE DEBRIS HAD PUMMELED THE CYLINDER HEAD. ALSO, DEBRIS FROM THE DAMAGE HAD BEEN SUCKED BACK INTO THE INLET MANIFOLD DEPOSITING METAL CHUNKS INTO THE #1 AND #2 CYLINDERS DAMAGING THE PISTONS AND HEADS WITH SMALL CHUNKS OF METAL EMBEDDED IN THEM. *JB UPDATED 08/28/14

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN FLAWLESS SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2006. IN NOV. 2013 IT STALLED WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND WAS FINE FOR 5 MILES THEN STALLED AGAIN. EVER SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLING WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS OR MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS CAR IN MONTHS DUE TO THIS AS IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $2,000.00 IN MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS VEHICLE FOLLOWING REPAIR MANUAL PROCEDURES VIA THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD THE PCM, REPLACED TWICE (FIRST ONE WAS DEFECTIVE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX), TCM REPLACED, BATTERY REPLACED, THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, MAP SENSOR REPLACED, ASD RELAY REPLACED AND SPARK PLUGS REPLACED WITH ZERO IMPROVEMENTS. I USED TO ENJOY THIS VEHICLE AND NOW IT IS A DEATH TRAP WITH THE WAY IT IS BEHAVING.

THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM THAT WE'VE BEEN CHASING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY WITHOUT WARNING SOMETIMES THE GAUGES WILL DROP AND THE WARNING "DING" WILL SOUND. MOST OF THE TIME THE CAR WILL RESTART, HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCES THAT IT HAS TO SIT FOR AWHILE BEFORE RESTARTING. IN ANY CASE, IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS ON CITY STREETS. THERE ARE TIMES IN WHICH WE HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER TO GET THE GAUGES AND HEADLIGHTS TO TURN ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TAIL LIGHTS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK EITHER.

THIS USUALLY OCCURS AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY FULL AFTER A TRIP TO THE GAS STATION. MY CAR HAS ALSO DONE THIS WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED UP TO 70 MPH WHILE TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR ACTUALLY "COUGHED" THEN JUST SORT OF STALLING, SUDDENLY STARTED PERFORMING NORMALLY. THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED SO MANY TIMES AT STOPLIGHTS IN TRAFFIC THAT MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER HAS INSTALLED TWO DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULES IN THE CAR IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT TO NO AVAIL.

I'M HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AS EVERYONE ELSE SO I'M NOT GOING TO TYPE IT UP IN DETAIL. BUT THERE IS NO REASON WHY A CAR CAN STALL ITSELF AND RESTART BACK UP WITH NO TRACE IT EVER HAPPEN. IT'S DANGEROUS TO THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS AND INCOMING TRAFFIC. MY CAR HAS BEEN CHECKED FROM THE ENGINE OWN AND ITS SHOWING NOTHING. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT CHAPMAN DODGE CHRYSLER AND JEEP AND I GOT THE CALL TODAY SAYING ITS NOTHING SHOWING WRONG.

THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CHIMED, MY RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO, THEN JUST AS SUDDENLY THEY ALL WENT RIGHT BACK TO NORMAL AND THE ENGINE JERKED US FORWARD AS THE TRANNY FIGURED OUT WHAT GEAR IT BELONGED IN. IT STARTED LIKE THAT, ONLY HAPPENING ON OCCASION. NOW, I CAN'T MAKE IT MORE THAN 1-2 MILES (LITERALLY) WITHOUT STALLING OUT OR LOSING ENGINE FIRE. IF IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M AT A LOW MPH THE CAR JUST STALLS OUT AND DIED. NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT THE LIGHTS AND RADIO ARE WORKING. ON THE HWY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT LURCHES AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. ON THE ON-RAMP, HOWEVER, IT BECOMES A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING ON A DOWNHILL RAMP WITH A BIG RIG WAILING UP BEHIND ME. I HAVE BEEN MISSED BY TRULY ONLY INCHES ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR, THEY CAN'T FIND WHAT'S WRONG WITH MINE, AND I CAN'T SELL A VEHICLE THAT WON'T MAKE IT FOR A TEST DRIVE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH IN THE CENTER LANE DURING BUSY TRAFFIC AND IT WAS DARK, THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I ALSO HAD A MY 14 MONTH BABY IN THE CAR. THERE WAS LOST OF POWER, STEERING WAS LOST. I HAD TO SHIFT IT IN NEUTRAL AND GLIDE TO THE SHOULDER LANE ALMOST BEING HIT BY A TRUCK. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED, WHEN I SHIFTED IT IN DRIVE AND PROCEEDED TO TRY AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THE ENGINE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL & ELECTRICAL LIGHT WAS ON. I TRIED RESTARTING IT AND IT STARTED AND DROVE LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED, EVEN THE LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND SAYS THAT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING, THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD KEEP MY VEHICLE AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON, IF THEY DON'T FIND ANYTHING THAN THEY WOULD KEEP IT AND TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I COULD BE WITHOUT MY CAR UNTIL THEY FIGURE IT OUT. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEASE 10 MORE TIMES. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THERE IS NOW AN INVESTIGATION ONGOING BUT UNTIL THEN MANY OWNERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM OR GO WITHOUT THEIR VEHICLE. MANY HAVE SAID THAT IT HAPPENED AFTER REFUELING THEIR CAR, FOR ME IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES AFTER REFUELING, BUT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IT WAS AT 1/2 AND 1/4 TANK. A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT TO INCLUDE SERIOUS INJURIES AND OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER CAN HAPPEN AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN? BEFORE THIS OCCURS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY AND THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO CORRECT HIS ISSUE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY ALL SEEM TO LOSE POWER, ALL NEEDLES FALL TO 0, OR THEIR TURNED OFF POSITION, THEN ONCE THEY HIT THE STOPS THEY ALL POWER BACK UP AGAIN, SWING BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, AND THEN EXTINGUISH AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THIS ENTIRE TIME THERE IS NOT CHANGE IN SPEED, OR THE ENGINE, WHEN I AM IN CRUISE CONTROL, THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T WITH THE 5.7. AT LEAST ONCE PER DAY (AND OFTEN MUCH MORE OFTEN), DURING ACCELERATION, CAR WILL GO INTO "LIMP" MODE, WHERE THE ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION WILL STOP PRODUCING POWER TO THE WHEELS. ENGINE LIGHT WILL "DING" AND RPM WILL DROP FROM ACCELERATION RPM DOWN TO ABOUT 2000 RPM AND CAUSE THE CAR TO HESITATE, CREATING AN ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION ON HIGHWAY MERGING. CAR WILL COME BACK ON LINE AFTER ABOUT 1-2 SECONDS, AND RUN NORMALLY. THE MORE I PUSH THE ACCELERATION, THE MORE LIKELY TO OCCUR. ALSO, CAR WILL SIMPLY STALL AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE IN IDLE. I BOUGHT THE CAR ABOUT 30 DAYS AGO, AND REPORTED TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY, AND THEY DUPLICATED THE ISSUE. THEY THOUGHT IT COULD BE A SHORT, BUT AFTER 3 HOURS LABOR (THEY COVERED THIS COST), DID NOT CORRECT IT. THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS, AND ARE NEXT LOOKING INTO A TORQUE CONVERTER POSSIBILITY, AND ALSO LOOKING AT THE THROTTLE BODY. NOT SURE AT THIS TIME IF THEY WILL COME GOOD FOR THE FIX IN THE LONG TERM. THIS STALLING LOSS OF POWER AND GOING INTO "LIMP MODE" SEEMS TO BE EXCESSIVELY COMMON ON THESE CARS, ACCORDING TO BLOGS AND DODGE SITES ONLINE. WHILE THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND GREAT WORK WITH SO FAR, THIS SHOULD FALL ON DODGE ITSELF, NOT THE DEALER, TO MAKE GOOD FOR, AS IT SEEMS TO BE A PREVALENT AND DANGEROUS ISSUE. VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AND DODGE/CHRYSLER SHOULD MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR EVERYONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 60MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT WITH NO WARNING CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE ALL POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MY CAR WAS NEARLY HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHER CARS AS I TRIED TO CHANGE LANES IN ORDER TO REACH THE EMERGENCY LANE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. I RESTARTED THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE CAR ENGINE HAS QUIT FOR NO REASON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES WITH NO WARNING IN THE LAST YEAR WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS ISSUE A RECALL, OR BE LIABLE FOR ANY LAWSUITS RESULTING FROM ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEMS IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR

TOOK CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR TUNE-UP;AND TRANSMISSION SERVICE ON MARCH13, 2013; ON APRIL 17, 2013 THE CAR TOTALLY SHUTDOWN AS I TURNED INTO THE GAS STATION. I GOT IT STARTED, IT JERKED AS IF IT WAS CHOKING,I MANAGED TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN,JUST BEFORE I MADE IT UP TO THE SERVICE LANE AT THE DEALERSHIP. I WAS TOLD THAT THE REAR AXLE SEALS WERE LEAKING, WHICH I HAD REPAIRED,ALSO THAT AN UPDATED MEMORY CHIP SHOULD HAVE BEEN INSTALLED IN MARCH,SO THAT WAS DONE. PICKUP MY CAR ON APRIL 18, 2013 AND WHILE SITTING IN TRAFFIC, THE CAR WAS SHAKING AND FELT AS THOUGH IT WAS ABOUT TO CUTOFF. I PUT IN PARK WHILE AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT AND PRESSED ON THE GAS TO RAISE THE ENGINE;AS I TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY, IT STALLED AGAIN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP,THEY INITIALLY SAID THERE WAS A COIL THAT WAS MISFIRING BUT THE DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE COULD NOT DETECT IT. I PICKED MY CAR UP ON APRIL 25, 2013 ONLY TO HAVE SOMETHING ELECTRICALLY DRAINING MY BATTERY DOWN TO 4 OR 5 VOLTS EVERY OTHER DAY. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, TECHNICIAN SAID THEIR DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE COULDN'T FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BATTERY,ALTERNATOR NOR ANY OF ELECTRICAL PARTS. I HAD NO PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR PRIOR TO HAVING THE ABOVE SERVICES DONE. AFTER SPEAKING WITH A MECHANIC, I WAS TOLD THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON HAVING THESE TYPE OF PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY AFTER A NEW SOFTWARE CHIP HAS BEEN INSTALLED. PERHAPS THIS AND OTHER ISSUES NEED TO REALLY BE ADDRESSED WITH CHRYSLER. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH FUEL ONE DAY, IT BEGAN TO STALL OUT WHEN STOPPED. WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS IT SEEMS TO MOMENTARILY LOSE ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL POWER, THEN A WARNING SOUND WILL CHIME AND EVERYTHING RETURNS TO NORMAL... TEMPORARILY. HOWEVER, WHILE ON A ROAD TRIP AND TRAVELING AT SPEEDS OVER 70MPH WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON, WE DIDN'T EXPERIENCE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS UNTIL WE HAD TO REDUCE OUR SPEED WHEN APPROACHING TOWNS. ALSO, THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL SHUT OFF IF IT IS BEING USED WHEN "POWER SURGE" HAPPENS AND HAS TO BE MANUALLY RESET. *TR

WHEN TRAVELING AT HWY. SPEED THE CAR LOSES POWER AND SHUTS OFF AND BACK ON BY ITSELF. IF IM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT AND IT DOES IT I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND CRANK IT BACK UP BUT THEN IT TAKES A 10-15 SECONDS BEFORE IT WILL GO INTO GEAR. THE PROBLEM USE TO HAPPEN ONCE OR TWICE IN A DAY AND THEN IT MAY BE 2 WEEKS BEFORE IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. NOW THE CAR IS NOT DRIVABLE AS IT DOES THIS CONSTANT.

I TURNED MY IGNITION KEY TO START THE VEHICLE AND HEARD AN EXPLOSION IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I OPENED MY TRUNK WITH THE KEY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. I DISCOVERED THAT THE BATTERY HAD EXPLODED AND SPRAYED BATTERY ACID IN THE TRUNK AREA. THE TRUNK WAS FILLED WITH WHITE SMOKE AND SMELLED LIKE CHEMICALS. MY PROPERTY INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT ALSO HAD A STRONG CHEMICAL ODOR TO IT. AFTER LOOKING AT THE BATTERY, IT APPEARED TO HAVE EXPLODED FROM THE REAR AND THE MAIN THING THAT KEPT IT FROM SENDING ACID SOAKED DEBRIS WAS THE NYLON STRAP THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY IN PLACE. I AM WORRIED THAT THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE IS NOW COATED WITH ACID FUMES/POWDER FROM THE EXPLOSION. I SPOKE WITH HUNTINGTON BEACH DODGE AND THEY SAID I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS OF REPAIRS BECAUSE THE BATTERY ONLY HAS A 12 MONTH/12K MILE WARRANTY. I UNDERSTAND THAT A BATTERY GOES DEAD, BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND A BATTERY EXPLODING! MY 2 CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION, BUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE INJURY TO MY KIDS IF THEY WERE THERE? BATTERY ACID IN THE FACE AND EYES, ACID SOAKED DEBRIS STRIKING THEM OR HEARING LOSS FROM THE EXPLOSION? I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR HAVING MY CHILDREN IN IT. MCPEEK DODGE IN ANAHEIM REPLACED THE BATTERY AND CLEANED THE TRUNK AT A COST OF $250.00 (20% DISCOUNT THEY SAID), BUT STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE REASON FOR THE INCIDENT. *TR

THE NEXT TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS AT A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I CALLED A POLICE OFFICER BECAUSE I THOUGHT I MIGHT GET REAR-ENDED.

NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK. I REALLY DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN WHILE I'M ON THE FREEWAY AND A SEMI COMING DOWN ON ME. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM.

FAILURE TO ACCELERATE IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CAN RESULT IN COLLISION INCLUDING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. UPON DOING RESEARCH (YOU CAN GOOGLE THIS EASILY) THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WHICH DODGE HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE.

RECENTLY I STARTED HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY CHARGER. UPON ENTERING A HIGH WAY AND ATTEMPTING TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC DURING MORNING RUSH HOUR, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER UPON ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE DID NOT STALL BUT THE TACHOMETER DROPPED TO NEAR ZERO, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND POWER LIGHT FLASHED BRIEFLY AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE AGAIN AND SAME THING HAPPENED. FORTUNATELY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID A PRETTY SIGNIFICANT ACCIDENT WITH THE CARS BEHIND ME AND THE ONES I WAS MERGING ON TO THE HIGHWAY WITH. THE SYMPTOMS DISAPPEARED FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEN STARTED AGAIN AND PROGRESSIVELY BECAME WORSE. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER THAT INVESTIGATED AND FOUND IT TO BE THE POWER CONTROL MODULE WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE QUITE EXPENSIVE. I DID SOME RESEARCH ON A FORUM THAT I BELONG TO AND FOUND MANY INSTANCES OF THIS. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND SIMPLY PUT THEY DID NOT SEEM TO CARE. THERE ARE MANY DEFECTS ON THIS YEAR OF CHARGER AND NOT ONE OF THEM HAS EVER BEEN COVERED, AT LEAST THE ONES THAT I HAVE. I CONSIDER THIS LATEST INCIDENT TO BE SERIOUS SAFETY PROBLEM AND HOPE THAT IT GETS INVESTIGATED. AS FOR ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT, NEVER AGAIN IN MY LIFETIME.

I OWN A 2006 CHARGER 3.5L. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS CAR'S SYSTEM ISSUES BEGAN AROUND 31K MILES WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS CONTINUED UNTIL EVEN RECENTLY. THE CONSENSUS AMONG REPAIR FACILITIES IS THAT IT COULD LIKELY BE THE COMPUTER UNIT WITH THE SECONDARY CONCERN BEING THE POOR WIRING HARNESSES THAT DODGE IS KNOWN FOR. THE ISSUES ARE AS FOLLOWS: - ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT WARNING AND FLASH CONTINUOUSLY FOR 10-15 SECONDS OR SO AND THEN GO OUT AGAIN- VARIOUS SPEEDS - ALL INSTRUMENT NEEDLES BEGIN TO SWEEP BACK AND FORTH LIKE WINDSHIELD WIPERS - SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL ACT LIKE ITS STALLING BUT SPUTTERS ALONG NEVERTHELESS UNTIL I TURN IT OFF. WHEN I TURN IT RIGHT BACK ON IT DOESN'T DO IT- THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN I PULL INTO THE GARAGE AND IT SITS IN IDLE. - SOMETIMES ALL DASH LIGHTS JUST GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING- VARIOUS SPEEDS - RECENTLY (4-20-11) ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, KEY CHIME KEPT CHIMING AND ENGINE BEGAN TO FALTER AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ACCELERATION...AT ALL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CHARGER AND MY CONCERNS TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE FIRST 3 YEARS (OUT OF BUSINESS NOW, IN THE CHRYSLER REORGANIZATION) AND WAS TOLD EACH TIME: "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG; WE CAN'T DUPLICATE WHAT YOU ARE TELLING US. AND I WASN'T TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I HAVE STRONGLY VOICED MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS ISSUE TELLING DODGE THAT A COMPUTER FAILURE OUT OF WARRANTY IS VERY COSTLY, BUT THEY REFERRED ME TO CHRYSLER CORPORATE, WHO ESSENTIALLY IN SO MANY WORDS JUST BLEW ME OFF. THIS KIND OF DISRESPECT FOR A CUSTOMER WITH, AT THAT TIME, AN ENFORCEABLE WARRANTY IS DISGRACEFUL, AND I HOPE YOU WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A RATHER COMMON OCCURRENCE AMONG CHARGER OWNERS. I FOUND THIS WEBSITE BY ACCIDENT OTHERWISE I WOULD BE PART OF THE GREATER MASSES OF CHARGER OWNERS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR IN WHAT SHOULD BECOME A RECALL (AND FINANCIAL RESTITUTION IF I HAVE TO GET IT FIXED ON MY OWN BEFORE THE RECALL) ACTION BY THE GOVERNMENT. *TR

PLEASE HELP ME PREVENT ACCIDENTS AND/OR FATALITIES THAT WILL RESULT FROM CHRYSLER'S REFUSAL TO ADDRESS A DANGEROUS SITUATION. RECENTLY MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER BEGAN STALLING, NUMEROUS TIME, WITH THE STEERING LOCKING SOMETIMES AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. A POTENTIALLY DISASTROUS SITUATION FOR EVERYONE ON THE ROAD. MY CAR'S BEEN TOWED TO THE DEALER THREE TIMES AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS A MYSTERY TO THE TECHNICIANS. THEY'VE CHANGED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM), WITH NO CHANGE. THE CAR CONTINUES TO INTERMITTENTLY REGISTER 'LOST COMM WITH THE PCM' DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES. AT TIMES THE CAR PERFORMS FLAWLESS, AND OTHER TIMES IT STALLS AND WON'T RESTART SOMETIMES FOR DAYS. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH CHARGERS, OLD AND NEW, AND ONE THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS SUFFER. A CHRYSLER REP TOLD ME THEY WERE AWARE OF A STALL PROBLEM, BUT SAID THAT SINCE THEY DON'T KNOW THE EXACT CAUSE, THERE IS NOTHING THEY WILL DO UNLESS THE CUSTOMER PAYS FOR EXPENSIVE AND EXPERIMENTAL DIAGNOSES. WHY IS IT UP TO THE CONSUMER TO FIND A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT COULD KILL MOTORISTS? WHEN DO THEY INTEND TO ADDRESS IT? AFTER A FAMILY IS WIPED OUT? THIS IS A DISASTER WAITING TO HAPPEN. AND A PREVENTABLE ONE IF WE CAN CONVINCE CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND AFFECT A RECALL TO FIX IT. CHRYSLER'S DISREGARD FOR THE AMERICAN CONSUMER AT THE VERY LEAST, AND TOWARD THE PUBLIC AT LARGE AT MOST, IS ALARMING. I CANNOT FATHOM HOW AN AMERICAN CORPORATION THESE DAYS CAN SO BRASHLY TURN A BLIND EYE TO A KNOWN AND POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I TOOK IT HOME, AND IT HAS DONE IT 5 MORE TIMES , 3 TIMES IN ONE AFTERNOON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE SAME STALLING PROBLEM, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE DONE ALL THE THEY COULD. WE HAVE REFRAIMED FROM DRIVING THE 1994 VEHICLE BECAUSE WE NO LONGER FELT SAFE DRIVING IT. *AK

PURCHASED JULY 14, 2006. IT RAN GREAT WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL JULY 26. I WENT TO TAKE A LEFT OUT OF MY COMPANY'S PARKING LOT AND THE CAR SPUTTERED AND WOULD ACCELERATE FAST. I HAD TO PULL OFF ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND GAVE IT SOME GAS. I ATTEMPTED TO GO AGAIN WHEN THE TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR AND IT SPUTTERED MORE UNTIL I GAVE IT A LOT OF GAS AND THEN IT DROVE FINE. I THOUGH IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT SO I DROVE IT HOME. THAT NIGHT MY WIFE, SON AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MALL. UPON LEAVING THE MALL IT DID IT AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE DEALERSHIP WAS STILL OPEN AND CLOSE BY SO I DROVE IT DIRECTLY THERE. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER TO DRIVE WHILE THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT. ON AUGUST 9, THEY GAVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. THAT NIGHT IT DID IT AGAIN, EXCEPT THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY DIED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IS SAT FOR 37 DAYS WHILE THEY TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY REPLACED ALL THE OXYGEN SENSORS, THE POWER CONTROL MODULE, THE WIRING HARNESSES AND I AM SURE THERE WERE SOME OTHER THINGS. THEY TEST DROVE IT FOR 9 KEY CYCLES AND 250 MILES AND WERE 98% CONFIDENT THEY FIXED IT SO I GOT THE CAR BACK ON SEPTEMBER 15. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME PROBLEM RETURNED AND I WAS 50 MILES FROM HOME AND THIS TIME THE IDLING OF THE CAR WAS SO ROUGH THAT THE CAR WAS VISIBLY SHAKING. I HAD A FRIEND FOLLOW ME HOME AND SINCE IT WAS A SATURDAY NIGHT, THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT OPEN AND WOULD NOT BE UNTIL MONDAY. MONDAY MORNING I STARTED THE CAR UP AND LET IT IDLE 5 MINUTES BEFORE LEAVING. WHEN I GOT IN, IT WAS IDLING ROUGH AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I SHUT IT DOWN, CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND IT IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WILL STAY BECAUSE I AM NOT TAKING IT BACK. I HAVE REQUESTED VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FROM CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP. NOW HERE I AM 5 DAYS LATER AND THERE IS STILL NO ANSWER AS TO WHEN I WILL GET A NEW VEHICLE. *NM

THE CAR STOPS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. NO POWER TO THE GAS PEDAL WHILE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER 2ND TIME IN SHOP WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF BUYING CAR, THE POWER CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. DAIMLER CHRYSLER ASSURED ME IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. IT DID AND I AM FILING UNDER THE LEMON LAW FOR A NEW CAR. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 17 DAYS OUT OF THE FIRST 30 I OWNED IT. IT IS GOING IN AGAIN. *JB

I AM ABOUT TO FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT BECAUSE DODGE HAS BEEN "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" THE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEMS THAT HAVE PLAGUED MY VEHICLE, A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T, SINCE DAY FOUR OF MY OWNERSHIP. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 68 DAYS AND OF THOSE, I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE FUNCTIONING CAR FOR 19 DAYS. THEY HAVE FIXED A NUMBER OF MINOR ISSUES AND NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO FIX OR DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX AT THIS TIME, SOME MINOR ISSUES INCLUDING THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR PROBLEMS (WHICH THEY SAY THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE". THE SERIOUS ISSUES THAT ARE OCCURRING WHEN IT IDLES, WHEN IT ACCELERATES AND WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE SUSPENSION AND POSSIBLY BOTH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. OF THOSE 68 DAYS, THEY HAVE COME TO PICK UP MY CAR ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS TO TRY AND FIX IT, THE LAST TIME (WHICH CONTINUES CURRENTLY) THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR FOUR WEEKS. I HAPPEN TO KNOW (UPON RESEARCHING AFTER THE PROLONGED PERIOD THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR) THAT TSB'S OR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR EVERY PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING WITH MY CAR. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS (ONE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND ONE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC) THAT HAVE WITNESSED THESE MALFUNCTIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE LEGALLY FOR GETTING SOME KIND OF RESOLUTION. *JB
