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

Valve in the top of the tank to release vapor through the purge system is stuck open allowing fuel in the system, is available for inspection. Car stalls while driving and at stops, stalled infront of ambulance. Has not been reproduced of confirmed by dealer, but it has happened everytime i fully refuel the car. Has not been inspected. No symptoms or warnings prior to issue occurring.

On 3/10/2023 my vehicle suddenly starting trembling and shaking profusely! It terrified me severely. I immediately called my mechanic and it was towed in to be repaired. I was told it needed a tune- up. Towing, 3-Direct Ignition coils replaced, 6-spark plugs replaced and 1- fuel injection plenum gasket set replaced. Four weeks later on 4/16/2023 a warning sign of a backwards meeting parenthesis with a lightening bolt between to the two backwards parenthesis showed up on my warning lamp-Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator symbol; causing my vehicle on shake, jump and stall as I was driving on 29S heading toward 70W towards Baltimore to get home. I was able to drive to side of the road and my car completely stopped. A the horrific sounds of the traffic wizzed by me and my 12 year old child, I immediately called AAA, as we were in danger and severely terrified. We were finally picked up after 3 long hours!!!!! My car was the towed up the street from my home because the huge tow truck was unable to get directly in front of my door at that late hour. As I called AAA back the next morning to have my car towed to my mechanic shop, I was told I could only get 1 tow/ breakdown. I was totally in disbelieve after all we endured the evening/ night before. After explaining to a supervisor at AAA, she agreed that we had such a horrible experience the night before and adjusted the policy to accommodate my vehicle to be towed to my mechanic for repairs. This time, my fuel pump needed to be replaced and it has been. My vehicle still feels hesitate in its acceleration and as of today my engine light is on on my warning panel. I have been contacted by a NHTS recall team agent and have been scheduled for an appt

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.

After filling up the car with fuel (93 octane) the car stalls after a couple of minutes. This has caused unsafe situations as the car has stalled in the middle of intersections and on the road. This has happened consistently after filling up. The car does not start immediately after stalling. After a couple of minutes post stall, I am able to restart the car. At times, the car studders while moving. This all happens after topping off with fuel. The vehicle has approximately 106,000 miles.

My Dodge charger has 4 codes I can't figure out and one is a is a manufacturer code that popped up and lost connection to tcm and something to do with the fuel

Engine stalled while driving 3-5 times. Almost caused a collision

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.

I've owned this car a little over a month. I filled up the gas tank today, after leaving the gas station the car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. thankfully no one was coming the opposite direction at the time before i could get the car restarted. at the next light it stalled again, and then was able to restart the car. i was able to pull into a parking lot to access any issues. nothing looked wrong visibly. while idling the car stalled again. i researched the issue and found other similar issues with this year and make of the car stalling after filling the tank. this is a huge safety issue as there was no warning and the car completely stalled and had no function. if cars were coming at me in the intersection or i was on the highway which was the next exit, it could have been worse for me and others on the road.

IN THAT SPLIT SECOND THAT IT SHUTS OFF, THE CAR LOSES POWER COMPLETELY AND NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, AND DODGE SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL IMMEDIATELY TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEEN HESITATING AND DYING IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP MY FUEL TANK, EVERY TIME. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING PROBLEM AS OF THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I'VE READ IN MULTIPLE ONLINE DODGE FORUMS THAT THIS HAS TO DO WITH A FAULTY 'EVAPORATION VALVE' IN THE FUEL TANK AND THAT THERE ARE MANY 2006 DODGE OWNERS WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THERE ARE NO CODES IN THE VEHICLE'S COMPUTER & THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT TAKEN OWNERSHIP OF THE PROBLEM CREATED BY THEIR DESIGN & CREATED A RECALL OF THE GAS TANK OR 'EVAPORATION VALVE'. I WAS DIRECTED TO THIS WEBSITE TO NOTIFY YOU OF THIS PROBLEM IN HOPES OF ALERTING DODGE OF THE ISSUE. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. IN THE EVENT THAT THIS HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC OR WHILE TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION, THE VEHICLE MAY EASILY BECOME UNCONTROLLABLE, AS ALL POWER STEERING & POWER BRAKES ARE RENDERED USELESS.

THE FIRST TIME MY MOTOR FAILED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 70MPH AND SOMEONE CUT ME OFF I HIT THE BRAKES GOOD ENOUGH TO BARELY AVOID THEM CRASHING INTO ME , WHEN I TRIED TO PUSH THE THROTTLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE MOTOR STARTED JUMPING BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT WANTED TO JUMP OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY , TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID TWO OF MY CYLINDERS WERE ONLY RUNNING AT HALF THE COMPRESSION MEANING I HAD A VALVE ISSUE LIKE THESE CARS ARE WELL KNOWN TO HAVE NOW. WELL $5,000 LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM DODGE WITH ONE HEAD REPLACED , JUST ABOUT 60K MILES LATER THE OTHER HEAD FAILED ON ME AND TRAVELED INTO MY OTHER HEAD DESTROYING THAT ONE AND MY PISTONS , JUST SPENT $9,000 TO HAVE THE MOTOR REPLACED AND NOT EVEN A 1,000 MILES LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE . THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE I STILL OWE MONEY ON THE CAR AND I'VE SPENT UPWARDS OF $14,000 TO KEEP THIS CAR RUNNING . IT'S LEFT ME WITH NO WAY TO GET ME TO WORK IT'S LEFT ME STRANDED I'VE LOST A JOB BECAUSE I COULDN'T BE THERE I'VE MISSED OUT ON OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS CAR I'M 23 YEARS OLD AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON 4 YEARS NOW .

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.

CAR WILL RUN FINE ONE DAY NEXT DAY IT WON'T, CAR CUTS OFF WHEN STOPPING AN STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. CAR JERKS WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL TOO HARD, GAS ODORS COMING FROM MUFFLER.

PCM SHUTS DOWN BRIEFLY WITHOUT WARNING AT SEEMINGLY RANDOM TIMES, ALTHOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STATIONARY SUCH AS AT A STOPLIGHT. SOMETIMES THE OUTRAGE IS EXTREMELY SHORT AND THERE IS A DING FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, SOMETIMES IT IS LONGER WITH ONE OR MORE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE BRIEFLY INCLUDING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE, AND SOMETIMES THE CEL WILL ILLUMINATE. OUTAGE NEVER SEEMS TO LAST MORE THAN A FRACTION OF A SECOND. IF THE CEL COMES ON THE CODE IS U0100 LOST COMM. W/PCM. IF SPEED IS ABOVE ABOUT 15 MPH THE ENGINE DOESN'T ACTUALLY STOP, THERE'S JUST A BIG JOLT, AS IF THEY HEY HAD BEEN TURNED OFF AND THEN RAPIDLY BACK ON. AT SLOWER SPEEDS THE ENGINE STOPS AND MUST BE RESTARTED WITH THE KEY. THIS HAS RESULTED IN NEAR ACCIDENTS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY STOPPING. DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK, AT FIRST COULDN'T DUPLICATE BUT WHEN IT DID HAPPEN THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TCM AND CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER (WHICH WERE DUE ANYWAY) AND REPLACED THE BATTERY FOR LACK OF ANY BETTER IDEAS. THIS PROBLEM CAN GO A WEEK OR TWO WITHOUT HAPPENING OR HAPPEN 10 TIMES IN 3 DAYS. I ADDED A RECORDING VOLTMETER TO MONITOR KEY VOLTAGES IN AND OUT OF THE PCM (MEASURED AND RECORDED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES PER SECOND) AND THIS SHOWED THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE IS THE AUTO SHUTDOWN RELAY CONTROL VOLTAGE OUT OF THE PCM GOING TO ZERO WHILE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE AND KEYSWITCH 'RUN' VOLTAGES BOTH REMAINED HIGH(~14.2 VOLTS). I REPLACED THE PCM WITH A REFURBISHED ONE (COULD NOT LOCATE A NEW REPLACEMENT) AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT OBSERVED FOR TWO MONTHS, BUT THEN RESUMED. MULTIPLE SIMILAR REPORTS ON THE INTERNET, MOSTLY RELATED TO FILLING THE GAS TANK BUT MY PROBLEM HAS NO CORRELATION TO REFUELING OR FUEL LEVEL.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER COMPLETELY DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ALONE ON A CITY ROAD BUT LOST ALL CONTROL AND FELT I WAS BARLEY BRAKING AND STEERING WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. I WAS ABLE TURN EVERYTHING OFF IN THE CAR AND RESTART BUT IT HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. AT ONE POINT WHILE TURNING LEFT ON A HIGHWAY IT DIED; I WAS ALMOST TO A POINT TO HITTING OTHER CARS TURNING LEFT IN SAME DIRECTION AND OTHERS BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 4 MILES TODAY WITHOUT INCIDENT HOWEVER AFTER RESEARCHING THIS EXACT ISSUE AMONG OTHER CHARGER OWNERS I SEARCHED FOR A RECALL AND NOTHING HAS BEEN SAID BY DODGE. THIS ISSUE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE FROM PERSONAL ACTIONS BUT A FLAW IN A SYSTEM ON THIS MAKE/MODEL. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE BEFORE A FEW YEARS AGO HOWEVER I READ SOMETHING ABOUT A GAS CAP AND FELT IT WAS ISOLATED. AFTER LAST NIGHT AND READING BLOGS TODAY I SEE THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND NOT CAUSED BY NOT MAINTAINING A VEHICLE OR BAD DRIVING. THIS IS AN ISSUE IN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN ANY OTHER DRIVING SETTING DURING RUSH HOUR SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I NOTIFIED DODGE AND REPORTED THE ISSUE BUT THEY SAID I WOULD NOT BE CONTACTED AND TO KEEP RECEIPTS IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG IN CASE THEY DO RECALL SOMETHING. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN CORRECTED AFTER ALL THESE REPORTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE TO THIS MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES? THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I REPORTED IT IN JAN OF 2017 ON SAFERCAR.GOV. NO ACTION OR CONTACT HAS BEEN MADE.

I WILL ATTEMPT TO RESTART AND THE CAR WILL START UP, STALL UP AND THEN SHUT OFF AGAIN - WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I LOSE POWER STEERING. I HAVE TO SWITCH GEARS FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND THEN TURN THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN IN HOPES IT WILL START. AS YOU'RE DRIVING, YOU CAN FEEL WHEN THE CAR IS ABOUT TO CUT OFF, IT THROTTLES AHEAD A BIT AND REVS, THEN THE CAR BEEPS AND TURNS OFF, WHILE THE GEAR IS IN DRIVE AND TURNING MY WHEEL DOES NOTHING. I NOTICE THAT THIS ISSUE WOULD USUALLY HAPPEN AFTER A FILL UP MY GAS TANK, SO I STARTED ONLY FILLING UP HALFWAY ,BUT THE ISSUE STILL PERSISTS. THIS ISSUE BECAME HEAVILY FREQUENT YESTERDAY WHERE THE CAR STALLED AND CUT OFF AT LEAST 4 DIFFERENT TIMES WHILE MAKING A 7 MILE DRIVE BACK HOME. THIS WAS VERY VERY SCARY IN MY EYES, ESPECIALLY WITH A PASSENGER IN MY SEAT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE IN MOTION AND POWERING STEERING IS LOST. IF THIS HAPPENS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60+ MILES PER HOUR, OR TURNING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, THERE IS A GUARANTEED ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I BELIEVE THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK AND THE EVAP CANISTER THAT CAUSES THE SENSORS TO THINK THAT GAS IS OVERFILLING THE ENGINE, WHICH SHUTS OFF THE CAR. THIS WAS FILED UNDER NHTSA PE13-016 (WHICH APPEARS TO BE CLOSED OR INACCESSIBLE- HTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/DOCUMENTLIST.XHTML?DOCID=PE13016&DOCTYPE=INV). THIS SAFETY CONCERN REALLY NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

CAR STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AT STOPLIGHTS AS WELL AS ON THE ROAD. IF IF THE CAR IS MOVING THE ENGINE WILL USUALLY CATCH AND RESTART BUT DUE TO THE WAY THE TRANSMISSION OPERATES, THERE IS A PERIOD OF TIME BEFORE THE TRANSMISSION REENGAGES SO THE CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS IN NEUTRAL WHICH IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAS CAUSED MANY CLOSE CALLS WITH CONFLICTING TRAFFIC AT INTERSECTIONS. A QUICK SEARCH ON GOOGLE WILL SHOW THIS IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS AND THERE IS NO KNOWN ROOT CAUSE AND DODGE HAS NOT DONE ANYTHING TO INVESTIGATE THE ROOT CAUSE. AS A RESULT IT HAS BEEN LEFT TO THE OWNER TO SPEND POTENTIALLY THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR PARTS SWAPPING TO TROUBLESHOOT THE PROBLEM BUT WITH LITTLE SUCCESS. IN MOST CASES THE PROBLEM IS NEVER RESOLVED OR SIMPLY RETURNS SHORTLY AFTER BEING "FIXED" BY THE DEALER. NOTE: THIS IS NOT RELATED TO THE GAS TANK ISSUE WHICH HAS SIMILAR SYMPTOMS. I HAVE REPLACED THE GAS TANK IN MY CAR HOPING IT WOULD RESOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT IT DID NOT.

AFTER DROPPING MY DAUGHTER AT SCHOOL THAT DAY IN MY CAR, I WENT HOME AND PARKED THE VEHICLE IN MY DRIVEWAY. WHEN I WENT TO PICK HER UP THAT AFTERNOON MY CAR WOULD NOT TURN OVER. IT NEVER LEFT MY DRIVEWAY BEFORE IT WAS TOWED TO A MECHANIC. DODGE HEMI 5.7 L ARE NOTORIOUS FOR PREMATURE ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. THE VALVE SEAT DROPS INTO THE PISTON CAUSING CATASTROPHIC AND SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE. THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE COST INVOLVED TO REPLACE MY TRANSPORTATION. THE DAMAGE HAS BEEN SAID AND DONE. THE REASON FOR THIS COMPLAINT IS THE THOUGHT THAT MY CAR'S ENGINE HAPPENED TO FAIL MINUTES BEFORE MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CAR. HONESTLY, IF THE ENGINE FAILURE WOULD HAVE HAPPENED WHILE THE CAR WAS IN MOTION, WHETHER IT BE IT IN A 20 MPH SCHOOL ZONE OR ON THE FREEWAY AT 70 MPH TO HER FAVORITE STORE TO GET A TREAT AFTER SCHOOL; I PROBABLY WOULD'VE NOT KNOWN WHAT TO DO. THIS DEFECT COULD HAVE VERY WELL CAUSED A WRECK HURTING ME MY EIGHT-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER AND POSSIBLY OTHER PEOPLE. I TRULY JUST DON'T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONES LITTLE GIRL OR ANYBODY. CAN YOU PLEASE RESEARCH AND INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED OR HURT? IT'S JUST NOT RIGHT AND DODGE IS HOLDING NO RESPONSIBILITY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

AFTER CHECKING FOR ANY COMPUTER ISSUES I HAD THE CAR TOWED MY THE DEALERSHIP.

IF THIS VALVE SEAT DROPPED 30 SECONDS EARLIER, IT WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY PUTTING THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AT RISK.

AFTER FILLING UP, MY CAR ENGINE STALLS. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT. I LOOKED IT UP ON YOUR SITE AND INDEED FOUND PE13016 BUT DISAGREE WITH THE FINDING BEING THAT IT IS A LOW SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE I WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHERE I CAN'T STEER THE CAR WHATSOEVER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FUEL VAPOR LOCK IN WHICH THE EVAP VALVE STAYS OPEN AND DUE TO IT, THE ENGINE RUNS RICH BECAUSE OF THE FUEL. I WAS TOLD NOT TO OVERFILL IN WHICH I HAVE STOPPED, HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENS JUST BY FILLING UP. I HAVE HAD TO REV THE ENGINE TO BURN OFF GAS UNTIL THE ENGINE STOPS STALLING. EVERY TIME, I'VE STOPPED TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IT HAS HAPPENED AT NIGHT AS WELL WHERE VISIBILITY IS LOW AND ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE TURNING IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THANKFUL THAT IT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE I MADE THE TURN. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I'VE BEEN IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND A FEW TIMES ON A HIGHWAY BUT EVERY TIME I WAS ABOUT TO TURN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I DIDN'T KNOW AND GOT THE TOW TRUCK TO TOW THE CAR AND HAD THE POLICE TO COME BEHIND ME BECAUSE IN HIS WORDS, I WAS IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION, SO THAT NO OTHER ONCOMING VEHICLES WOULD HIT ME. THE DATE THAT I PLACED ON WHEN IT HAPPENED IS THE LAST DATE IT HAS HAPPENED THUS FAR AS OF THIS WRITING.

HAS A BLOWN MOTOR AND AFTER HAVING IT CHECKED BY A MECHANIC IT HAS BEEN DETERMINE AND TOLD TO ME THAT IT WAS A BAD DESIGN FROM DODGE THIS PARTICULAR YEAR WITH THE CHARGER ENGINES BECAUSE OF THE PLASTIC CAVE SEATS MELTING AND NOT ALLOWING THE OIL TO FLOW TO THE BOTTOM HALF OF ENGINE AND CAUSING SEVERE DAMAGE LIKE MY ENGINE.

AT ONE POINT WHILE TURNING LEFT ON A HIGHWAY IT DIED; I WAS ALMOST TO A POINT TO HITTING OTHER CARS TURNING LEFT IN SAME DIRECTION AND OTHERS BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 4 MILES TODAY WITHOUT INCIDENT HOWEVER AFTER RESEARCHING THIS EXACT ISSUE AMONG OTHER CHARGER OWNERS I SEARCHED FOR A RECALL AND NOTHING HAS BEEN SAID BY DODGE.

IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE BEFORE A FEW YEARS AGO HOWEVER I READ SOMETHING ABOUT A GAS CAP AND FELT IT WAS ISOLATED. AFTER LAST NIGHT AND READING BLOGS TODAY I SEE THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND NOT CAUSED BY NOT MAINTAINING A VEHICLE OR BAD DRIVING. THIS IS AN ISSUE IN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING.

AS PER DODGE/CHRYSLER MECHANIC, #4 CYLINDER VALVE SEAT DROPPED AND INTERNALLY DESTROYED MY 5.7 HEMI ENGINE.

(DROPPED VALVE SEAT) I WAS ON MY WAY TO LUNCH WHEN I REALIZED I LEFT AN ITEM IN MY DESK THAT WAS NEEDED. I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK TO THE OFFICE. I PARKED MY CAR, RAN BACK IN TO THE OFFICE AND RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE WITHIN 5 MINUTES. WHEN I TRIED TO START MY ENGINE, IT WOULD NOT START. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL MACHINE SHOP. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT A VALVE SEAT DROPPED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. MY MECHANIC WAS QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS. AS HE STATED THAT IT HAPPENED VERY OFTEN WITH DODGE HEMI 5.7 ENGINES. HE STATED THAT THE VALVE SEATS WERE MADE OF POOR METAL MATERIAL. HE ALSO STATED THAT CHRYSLER WAS VERY AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND WHAT IT CAN CAUSE. I DID MY RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF THREADS WITH PEOPLE THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAD TO BUY A BRAND NEW ENGINE AND SEVERAL OTHER ENGINE PARTS THAT FAILED DUE TO THIS CATASTROPHE. NOT TO MENTION MAJOR LABOR COSTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE CONTACT HEARD A NOISE FROM THE GEAR SHIFTER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT OIL LEAKED ONTO THE VALVE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 76,000.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE I'M TURNING A CORNER ON A CITY STREET OR STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT STALLS, I DO NOT HAVE POWER STEERING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I COULD GET HIT. SOMETIMES IT STALLS MORE OFTEN AFTER I FILL UP WITH GAS. I DO NOT OVERFILL. I HAVE BEEN FILING MY GAS TANK THE SAME WAY FOR 10 YEARS AND UNTIL OCTOBER OF 2016 IT HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM.

Mileage: 40,000

AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK, VEHICLE WILL RAPIDLY LOSE RPMS AND STALL WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. I THEN PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND AM ABLE TO RESTART IT, BUT IT WILL STALL AGAIN WHILE MOVING RIGHT AFTER. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH MULTIPLE TIMES. I ONLY BOUGHT THE CAR 12 DAYS AGO AND IT HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE READ THE MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS, AND HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE PCM, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED REPLACING THE GAS TANK BECAUSE THE STALL COULD BE CAUSED BY THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM FAILING FOLLOWING REFUELING. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO NHTSA ACTION PE13016. THE VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT WILL STALL WHILE MOVING AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED ON 11/7/16, AND OCCURRED AGAIN ON 11/15/16, BOTH TIMES AFTER I REFUELED. IT WILL NOT OCCUR IF THE GAS IS BELOW 3/4 FULL. I REPLACED THE PCM ON 11/10/16, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

Mileage: 70,805

CHARGER IS STALLING FREQUENTLY. AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. STALLED AND WENT INTO SOME SAFE MODE WHERE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO SECOND GEAR. STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, SIDE ROADS AND WHILE MAKING A TURN. WHILE MAKING THE TURN IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHILE A TRUCK WAS COMING AT US. I HAD MY SON IN THE CAR AND WE WERE STRANDED IN THE ROAD. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! I HAVE READ UP ON THIS AND IT SEAMS TO BE A FAULTY SENSOR AT THE GAS TANK FILL UP. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. GREAT COMPANY!!!

Mileage: 40,000

MY 2006 CHARGER WILL STALL AND OR JOLT VIOLENTLY AS SOON AS I LEAVE THE GAS STATION, AND IT IS ONLY WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE TWICE AND DRIVING A SHORT WHILE I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK. I KNOW THAT NEWER VEHICLE FUEL TANKS ARE DESIGNED NOT TO BE FORCE FILLED DUE TO THE SPECIAL EVAP SYSTEM. I ONLY FILL THE TANK TILL THE STATION PUMP NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD HOW TO FILL THESE NEWER VEHICLES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER SEVERAL MONTHS, THOUGH I HAVE NOT HAD ANY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, I FEAR THAT THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

Mileage: 102,600

THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 50-55 MPH. EVERYTHING WENT OUT. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED. NOW, WHEN I STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT STALLS OUT.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA 5.7L ENGINE HAD A PROBLEM WITH A VALVE SEAL/LIFTER / SOLENOID IN 2015, WHICH WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALER IN DECEMBER. NOW, 7 MONTHS LATER, IT HAS LOST A PISTON IN THE ENGINE, AND NEEDS A NEW ENGINE. WHEN THE LIFTER PROBLEM OCCURRED, THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN, AND STARTED TO MISFIRE. WHEN THE PISTON WENT (THE DEALER SAYS THAT IS WHAT IT IS), THE ENGINE WAS BEING STARTED. WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, IT MISFIRED, AND STARTED CLANKING. AND THEN DIED.

Mileage: 90,000

I DROVE MY VEHICLE TO THE STORE AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. I CAME OUT AN HOUR LATER AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR BUT IT WOULDN'T START. I ATTEMPTED TO START IT AGAIN AND IT STARTED BUT THE ENGINE SOUNDED HORRIBLE SO I TURNED IT OFF IMMEDIATELY. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC WHO SAID THERE WAS NO COMPRESSION ON CYLINDER #3 AND THE VALVE WAS UNSEATED CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER. I TAKE METICULOUS CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND THIS TYPE OF ENGINE FAILURE SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED WITH ONLY 105K MILES ON IT. UPON READING SEVERAL THOUSAND REVIEWS ON THIS 5.7L HEMI ENGINE, THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM AND HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THE BELOW IS THE DIAGNOSIS FOR THIS EARLY ENGINE FAILURE: "FAULTY VALVE SEATS ACCORDING TO THE ENGINE COMPANY, THE ORIGINAL CHRYSLER DESIGN PRESSES THE VALVE SEATS INTO THE CYLINDER HEADS. THE PROBLEM RESULTS WHEN THE POWDERED METAL THE VALVE SEATS ARE MADE OF EXPANDS, CAUSING IT TO DROP INTO CONTACT WITH THE VALVE AND PISTONS, WHICH LEADS TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE. IN THIS PROCESS THE SEAT BREAKS INTO MANY PIECES CAUSING DETERIORATION OF THE PISTON, CYLINDER WALL, VALVE AND CYLINDER HEAD. THIS METAL CAN EVEN GET INTO THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ' IF NOT CLEANED PROPERLY, IT CAN LEAD TO A FAILURE IN REPLACEMENT ENGINES. PISTON RING LANDINGS AGAIN ACCORDING TO PP, A FLAW IN THE ENGINEERING OF THE PISTON RING LANDINGS RESULTS IN THE ENGINES RUNNING MUCH HOTTER THAN THEY SHOULD. COUPLED WITH WHAT THEY CALL OVERLY SMALL DRAIN HOLES IN THE HEADS AND BLOCK, THIS OVERHEATING BREAKS DOWN NEW OIL, LEAVING SLUDGE IN THE ENGINE, ULTIMATELY BLOCKING IT. CONSEQUENT OIL-STARVATION CAN LEAD TO ENGINE BLOCK SEIZURE."

DURING TRAVEL FROM FT. BELVOIR, VA TO FAYETTEVILLE, NC THE CAR BEGAN SPUTTERING AND ACTING LIKE IT WAS OUT OF FUEL. IT HAD 3/4 OF A TANK. MADE IT TO THE NEXT EXIT WHERE THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING. ABLE TO GIVE IT THROTTLE AND GET IT STARTED YOU CAN HEAR RATTLING IN THE TOP END OF THE MOTOR. HAD IT TOWED TO CROWN DODGE IN FAYETTEVILLE, NC WHERE THE DIAGNOSIS WAS A BROKEN VALVE SEAT WHICH FELL INSIDE THE CYLINDER SCARRING THE CYLINDER WALLS. THE WARRANTY COMPANY WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR COSTS ON THE CAR. THIS VEHICLE IS MAINTAINED BY A MECHANIC WITH OVER 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE WITH REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE. IT IS A DESIGN FLAW WHERE THE POWDERED METAL VALVE SEATS EXPAND AT A DIFFERENT RATE THAN THE ALUMINUM HEAD LEADING TO SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. DODGE KNOWS OF THIS PROBLEM AND FIXED THEIR DESIGN IN THE 2010-UP MODELS, HOWEVER HAS FAILED THE PUBLIC IN COMPENSATING THOSE THAT HAVE HAD ENGINE FAILURE IN 2006-2009 MODELS.

I DROVE MY CHARGER OUT TO LUNCH, WAS RUNNING IMPECCABLE, AFTER HAVING MY MEAL, WE GOT BACK IN THE CAR, TRIED STARTING IT, IT SOUNDED LIKE A HARD, DIFFICULT START AND ONCE IT IGNITED THE CYLINDERS, THE ENGINE STARTED MAKING HORRIBLE BANGING NOISES, AND KILLED ITSELF. THERE WAS NO WARNING, NO OVERHEATING, MY CAR HAS 88,000 MILES ON IT. I'VE ALWAYS TAKEN EXTREMELY GOOD CARE OF IT, AS I SHOULD KNOW HOW TO BEING A MECHANIC. I PULLED THE MOTOR OUT OF THE CAR, AND OPENED IT UP TO FIND A DESTROYED COMBUSTION CHAMBER, AND A DESTROYED PISTON. THERE ARE MUCH MORE UNRELIABLE CARS OUT THERE THAT CAN MAKE IT PAST 88,000 MILES WITHOUT SEVERE ENGINE DAMAGE. SO DOES THAT MAKE DODGE THE MOST UNRELIABLE MANUFACTURER? IF DODGE DOES NOT ASSIST IN FIXING THE PROBLEM (A PARTIAL REFUND TO HELP COVER THE MASSIVE COST) I WILL NEVER BE BUYING ANOTHER DODGE.

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.

I NOTICE THAT NUMEROUS 2006 DODGE CHARGERS HAVE HAD PRE MATURE ENGINE FAILURE. NUMEROUS OF THEM HAVE A "DROPPED VALVE". I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER THAT HAS BEEN EXTREMELY WELL MAINTAINED AND HAD THE SAME ISSUE. I DROVE MY VEHICLE WHICH WAS RUNNING FINE WITH NO ISSUES AND PARKED IT AT THE STORE. WHEN I FINISHED AT THE STORE, I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE, GOT IN AND I ATTEMPTED TO START IT AT WHICH TIME THE ENGINE MADE A HORRIFIC NOISE AS IF IT WAS GOING TO FALL APART OR EXPLODE. I SHUT IT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. WHITE SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE TAILPIPE SO I HAD IT TOWED TO A SHOP WHERE I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A NEW ENGINE. I HAD IT TOWED BACK TO MY HOME. I CALLED DODGE IN 2013 AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAD NOT HEARD OF SUCH A PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD TAKE IT TO A SHOP. THE VEHICLE SAT (UNDRIVABLE) FOR ALMOST 2 YEARS AS I WAS TOLD BY A DEALERSHIP THAT REPAIRS COULD AMOUNT TO ALMOST 7000.00. I HAVE FINALLY TAKEN IT TO A LOCAL SHOP AND AFTER COMPRESSION TESTING AND HEAD REMOVAL, IT WAS DETERMINED THE SAME THING HAPPENED AS IN THE REPORTS I HAVE READ, WHICH IS A DROPPED VALVE IN CYLINDER 6. I CONTACTED DODGE ONCE AGAIN WITH NO ANSWERS OR ASSISTANCE. IN REVIEW OF THE EXISTING COMPLAINTS, I NOTICE THAT THE 11TH DIGIT OF THE VIN IS THE SAME WITH MOST OF THE COMPLAINTS THAT CONTAIN A VIN NUMBER. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW IN THE HEAD THAT IS CAUSING THIS MALFUNCTION WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WHEN VEHICLES DIE AND QUIT RUNNING FOR NO APPARENT REASON AND WITHOUT WARNING. HAD I HAVE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IT COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. HOW DOES THIS GET INVESTIGATED, AND HOW MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE TO BE GENERATED TO HAVE DODGE LOOK INTO THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT CAUSING SAFETY ISSUES? I HAVE PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE VALVE SEAT BUT I AM HAVING A DIFFICULT TIME UPLOADING. I CAN E-MAIL THEM ON REQUEST

BUT AFTER A FEW AT LEAST A HUNDRED FEET, THE ENGINE STARTS STALL AGAIN THIS TIME HAVE TO ROLL MY CAR INTO THE SIDE ROAD. TRIED A FEW TIMES TO RESTART, ENGINE BUT DID NOT START. AT THAT POINT DECIDED TO CALL FOR HELP AND WHILE WAITING ON THE SIDE ROAD FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES, TRIED TO RE-START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THIS TIME AROUND THE ENGINE STEADIED AND RUNS NORMAL AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT.

WHEN I AM DRIVING UNDER 40 IT WILL SHUT OFF AND I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES AND PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. BUT THE BEST PART OF THIS WHICH IT'S REALLY NOT A BEST PART THAT IT STARTS RITE UP AFTER EACH ENCOUNTER. THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHT THROUGH OUT THIS ISSUE SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF CODE IT'S GOING TO READ. I TOOK IT TO NAPLETON DODGE IN LANSING, IL YESTERDAY AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND SHOWED THEM THE EDMUNDS REPORT FOR THE EXTENDED FUEL TANK WARRANTY BUT OFF COURSE THEY WANT TO TRY TO GET SOME KIND OF MONEY FROM ME ($125) FOR A DIAGNOSTICS WHICH I'M TELLING THEM AND SHOWING THEM THE REPORT.

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

I HAVE HAD MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND HAVE KEPT ALL THE OIL CHANGES AND FLUID FILLED. I HAD NO ISSUE OTHER THAN A BAD FUEL TANK OUT OF THE CAR, UNTIL I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY HEADING TO WORK WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A POP. THEN MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I BARELY MADE IT TO WORK WHERE I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. I LATER FOUND OUT IT HAD DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND THAT DODGE WOULD CHARGE ME OVER $8000 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I WILL INCLUDE A LINK THAT SHOWS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. THE BLOCK AND VALVE SEAT WAS MADE FROM TWO DIFFERENT METALS THAT EXPAND AT DIFFERENT RATES AND LENGTHS. I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING DODGE TO NO LUCK. THIS SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT IS COSTING DODGE CONSUMERS THOUSANDS WHEN IT WAS AVOIDABLE BY PINNING THE VALVE SEATS OR USING THE SAME METALS. DODGE HAS WENT THRU AND PINNED THE VALVE SEATS IN MOTORS THEIR MANUFACTURING, SO THEY KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE BUT ARE NOT HELPING THE CONSUMERS WHO PAID FOR THIS PRODUCT PRIOR TO THEM FIXING IT.

SO THE MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT'S GONNA $8000. IT'S BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP GOING ON THREE MONTHS. WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, DODGE SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE DODGE! I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS EVERY SINCE MY CAR MALFUNCTIONED.

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.

I FILLED MY GAS TANK (BUT DID NOT TOP IT OFF WITH FUEL) AND LEFT THE GAS STATION AT THE FIRST INTERSECTION. THE CAR STALLED WHILE BRAKING, THE CAR CAME BACK ON, ACCELERATED AGAINST BRAKES, DIED AGAIN AND WOULDN'T TURN OVER AFTERWARD. HAD TO TURN THE CAR ALL THE WAY OFF AND BACK ON TO RESTART THE CAR, ONLY TO HAVE IT DO IT THREE MORE TIMES ON THE WAY HOME. IT FEELS LIKE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. I READ UP ON THE ISSUE AND FOUND THAT IT'S VERY COMMON. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. WE PAID FOR A VEHICLE TO SAFELY TRANSPORT US -- THIS IS NOT SAFE.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN SHUTTING OFF WHILE IDLE ABOUT ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT STARTED BACK UP IMMEDIATELY AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. INITIALLY THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS THAT CAME UP. IT SOON HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY PULLED SOME CODES THAT THEY SAID THE DEALER HAD TO REPAIR. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE DEALER THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I SHARED THE OTHER DIAGNOSTIC WITH THEM BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS REALLY WRONG. IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN MONTHS LATER AND I TOOK IT TO YET ANOTHER MECHANIC. THIS MECHANIC 'RESET THE COMPUTER" AND MADE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURN OFF. IT STOPPED FOR A TIME BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. THIS TIME (140,000 MILES) THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY! I WAS SLIGHTLY TAPPED ON THE REAR BY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. ANOTHER TIME A SEMI TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME AND I STALLED. LUCKILY WE WERE IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. AGAIN AT HIGH SPEEDS THE ENGINE WOULD TURN BACK ON BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY BABY IN THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE A TON OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON DODGE FORUMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES!!!

I WAS DRIVING AROUND WITH SOME FRIENDS ONE NIGHT AND STOPPED TO TALK TO THEM FOR A MINUTE. I DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR, IT WOULDN'T START AND WHEN IT FINALLY DID, IT SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND SHUT OFF. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE CAR DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND RUINED THE MOTOR OF THE CAR. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 5.7 HEMI IN THE CHARGERS. I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS THAT HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR CHARGER.

DROVE TO A DENTIST APPOINTMENT, CAME OUT, STARTED CAR, IT MADE A LOUD BOOM THEN SHUT DOWN. TRIED STARTING AGAIN, NO BUENO, WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY OIL IS NOT GOING INTO THE PISTONS. CYLINDER IS SHOT, NEEDS NEW ENGINE. IT'S BEEN SITTING AT THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. REALLY...A NEW ENGINE THAT'S GONNA COST ME $8,000 NO WARNING, NO SENSORS....NOTHING! JUST HAD CAR SERVICE A FEW MONTHS PRIOR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE CAR STALLED WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ENGINE MISFIRE/STUTTERING. THE STALL WAS AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. THE CAR COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTART WAS ATTEMPTED AND THE CAR STARTED PERFECTLY, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AFTER A FEW MILES, RESTARTED AND IT STALLED AGAIN - THIS CONTINUED, EACH TIME WITH THE TIME DRIVEN BEING LESS. ALL THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. I FINALLY MADE IT TO A SHOP WHERE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE STALLING ISSUE. THE CAR WILL HAVE THE PCM REPLACED IN HOPE THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE FAILURE ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS - THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE INTO THE SHOULDER WHEN IT STALLS (NO POWER STEERING). THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT CAN BE CATASTROPHIC.

MY CAR IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE CHECKED NUMEROUS FORUMS AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FATALITY. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CARE AGAIN UNTIL I GOT IT BACK IN PARK. IT HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES NOW.

Mileage: 101,000

NOTE: I AM DOCUMENTING MY MOST RECENT DATE OF INCIDENT BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN SO MANY INCONSISTENT, UNPREDICTABLE INCIDENCES TO RECALL THE FIRST. THESE ISSUES HAVE GONE ON FOR PROBABLY AT LEAST 3 MONTHS NOW. TODAY WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT, MY CAR DIED AS LIGHT TURNED GREEN AND I GOT READY TO GO. I WAS STILL IN IDLE/ NO ACCELERATION. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND ATTEMPTED TO START. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND MOVING BEFORE THE LIGHT CHANGED BUT NOT SOON ENOUGH. I EVEN PUT FLASHERS ON SO DRIVERS BEHIND ME WOULD KNOW I WASN'T GETTING ANYWHERE ON FIRST ATTEMPT AT MOVING. (THIS OCCURRED 2 DAYS PRIOR WHILE WAITING IN LINE OF TRAFFIC---TWICE IN THE PARKING LOT. ON SUNDAY IT DIED AT LEAST 5 TIMES WHILE WAITING IN LONG LINE OF TRAFFIC/CONGESTED PARKING LOT AFTER AN EVENT.) ONCE I ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION TONIGHT, I DECIDED TO CHECK FOR CODE AND GOT NONE. THEN AFTER IDLING ABOUT 5 MINUTES IT DIED. I AGAIN STARTED IT AND LET IT IDLE. IT DIED AGAIN. I DID THIS A FEW MORE TIMES WITH SAME RESULT IN EVEN LESS IDLE TIME. I DID NOTICE THAT THE LAST TIME SHOWED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE OIL LIGHT. I'M NOT SURE IF THIS IS PART OF THE FUEL TANK ISSUE FOR WHICH I GOT A RECALL LETTER LAST MAY OR NOT. THIS IS GETTING FRUSTRATING. (BY THE WAY, I HAVE A HALF TANK OF GAS. I HAVEN'T REFUELED IN A FEW DAYS.) PRIOR TO THIS RANDOM STALLING IT WOULD 'HICCUP' DURING ACCELERATION. THE RPM'S WOULD PLUMMET AND A CHIME WOULD GO OFF. THIS LASTED MAYBE A SECOND AND THEN RETURNED TO NORMAL. SOME HICCUPS HAVE BEEN MILD WHILE OTHERS WERE JERKY. WHEN I TALKED TO DODGE SERVICE DEPT ABOUT HICCUP THEY DIDN'T THINK THIS WAS FUEL TANK ISSUE. FORTUNATELY, BOTH PROBLEMS AREN'T OCCURRING AT SAME TIME BUT BOTH HAVE BEEN FRUSTRATING. THE HICCUPS HAVEN'T OCCURRED SINCE THE DIEING STARTED. I AM FRUSTRATED AND CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SAFETY.

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? IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COME TO INJURIES OR WORSE FOR THIS COMMON PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *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".

THE THIRD TIME OCCURRED WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A THREE LANE ROAD TRAVELING AT 50MPH. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION CAUSING MY VEHICLE TO BLOCK TRAFFIC. EACH TIME WAS IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS. I USE ONLY PREMIUM FUEL IN THE CAR AND THE FUEL WAS PURCHASED AT DIFFERENT BUSINESSES. AFTER ALLOWING THE CAR TO SIT FOR A MINUTE OR SO, THE CAR WILL RESTART AND RUNS AS NORMAL. I HAVE CALLED A LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND THAT THERE IS NO WAY FOR THEM TO DIAGNOSE WHAT COULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY OTHER DODGE CHARGER AND CHRYSLER 300 OWNERS THAT THEY TOO HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE; CAR SHUTTING OFF AFTER FUELING. MY CONCERN IS THAT BY STALLING IN AN INTERSECTION OR AT HIGH SPEED, EVENTUALLY A WRECK WILL OCCUR. I AM ALSO CONCERNED BY THE DODGE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLING ME THERE IS NO WAY TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE. *TR

THIS WENT ON SEVERAL MONTHS AND AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FOR "PROBLEMS" NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS ISSUE I TOOK TO A NEIGHBORHOOD MECHANIC WHO AFTER HAVING THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS DETERMINED IT NEEDED A NEW THROTTLE SWITCH (DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM) AND FINALLY REBUILDING THE COMPUTER.

SYMPTOM WENT AWAY FOR 1 1/2 MONTHS AFTER CHANGING OUT SPARK PLUGS, AS A DODGE TECH RECOMMENDED. HE ALSO SAYS THE IGNITION COILS DETERIORATE OVER TIME, AND THE INTERNAL SHIELDING DOES NOT KEEP STRAY 'NOISE' FROM TRAVELLING INTO THE ENGINE CONTROLLER, EFFECTIVELY RESETTING IT, AND SHOWING NO CODES. HAVING 8 FACTORY COILS TO REPLACE AT $55 EACH IS QUITE A GAMBLE THAT MAY NOT FIX THE ISSUE. AFTERMARKET COILS APPARENTLY DO NOT FIX THIS, EITHER. I HAVE TIGHTENED EVERY ELECTRICAL GROUNDING POINT I CAN FIND ON THE CAR, UNPLUGGED/PLUGGED NUMEROUS CONNECTORS TO RESEAT THEM. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE, AND IT APPEARS ON '06 AND SOME 07 CHARGERS.

RE:PE13-016 RE: DODGE/CHRYSLER X53 - 19 FUEL TANK VEHICLE BEGAN SHUTTING OFF ABOUT A MILE DOWN THE ROAD AFTER REFUELING. UPON RECEIVING "EXTENDED WARRANTY" LETTER FROM CHRYSLER - MAY 8, 2014, CALLED DEALER TO HAVE PART REPLACED. PART HAS BEEN ON "BACKORDER" FOR LAST 2 MONTHS. I KEEP GETTING TOLD "YOU ARE NEXT IN LINE TO RECEIVE PART" FROM THE DEALER AND THE DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER TOLL FREE LINE. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND FOR NO REASON OR FAULT OF YOURS, THE CAR BEGINS TO STALL OR CUT OFF COMPLETELY. MY CAR HAS CUT OFF WHILE MAKING A TURN ACROSS TWO LANES OF TRAFFIC - LUCKILY NO ONE WAS COMING AND I WAS ABLE TO COAST ACROSS THE LANES..."SAFELY". MY CAR HAS CUT OFF GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40-50 MILES AN HOUR. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. AND TRUTH BE KNOW, THIS NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND HANDLED PROMPTLY BY CHRYSLER. I HAVE SEVERAL DOCUMENTED CALLS INTO CHRYSLER. NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN PART WILL BE ORDERED OR SENT TO DEALER OR STATUS OF SITUATION. PLEASE HELP CONSUMERS GET THIS PROBLEM ESCALATED. THANK YOU. *TR

IT IS HARD STARTING AND WILL STALL ANYWHERE BETWEEN 0 TO 45 MPH. WHEN IT STARTS ROUGH IT WILL NOT GO FORWARD OR REVERSE WITHOUT STALLING. IT SEEMS TO BE WORSE AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. WHEN THE CAR STALLS IT DOES SO WITH NO WARNING AND CAN LEAVE YOU WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. IT DID IT OFF AND ON AT FIRST BUT NOW DOES ALMOST EVERY TIME I RUN IT. I TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALER AND GAVE HIM A COPY OF THE LIFETIME WARRANTY GAS TANK PROBLEM AND TOLD HIM OF THE SYMPTOMS OF THE CAR. HE IGNORED ME AND DID 4 FLASHES ON THE CAR PLUS $110 OF "CLEANUP" WORK ON THE CAR AND TOLD ME IT WAS FIXED. ON THE WAY HOME IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND SHE HAD NO STEERING. THE DEALER PAPERWORK SAID THEY PULLED UP 4 CODES ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER, WHICH I GOT NONE OF WHEN I RAN MY CODE READER ON IT BEFORE TAKING IT TO THEM. ONE OF THE REPORTED CODES DOES NOT EVEN SHOW ON THE CHART AND ANOTHER ONE WAS A "C" CODE FOR A CHASSE PROBLEM. UPON GETTING THE CAR HOME, AFTER STALLING SEVERAL TIMES ON THE WAY HOME, I CALLED THE BANK AND STOPPED THE PAYMENT FOR THE WORK THEY SAY THEY DID. I HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER I BOUGHT THE CAR FROM (FARTHER AWAY) BUT HOW DO I GET THEM TO DO THE REPAIR I WANT, NOT WHAT THEY FEEL LIKE DOING? THANKS. *TR

I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE, AND HAVE REGULARLY MAINTAINED IT AND PERFORMED ALL THE SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE AT THE MANUFACTURER'S SUGGESTED INTERVALS. THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY, WITH NO INDICATIONS OF ANY ISSUES. ON 8/12/14, I WENT TO START MY VEHICLE AND IT MADE A HORRENDOUS BANGING NOISE BEFORE IMMEDIATELY SHUTTING DOWN. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED HOME (AS I WAS THIRTY MILES AWAY) AND DISCOVERED THE ENGINE VALVE IN PISTON #2 HAD BROKEN AND SHATTERED, CAUSING AN ENGINE FAILURE, WITH THE ONLY REPAIR BEING A COMPLETE ENGINE REBUILD OR REPLACEMENT. A CHECK ON-LINE SHOWED THIS IS A COMMON AND RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND ENGINE TYPE (2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T). I REPORTED THE ISSUE TO DODGE, AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO KNOWN ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE OF VALVES, HOWEVER THE DODGE TECHNICIAN AT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE EVIDENCE TO THIS IS THE ENGINE PARTS NEEDED TO FIX THIS (BLOCK, VALVES, ETC.) ARE ON A 2 TO 6 MONTH BACK-ORDER. PLEASE HELP! I CAN NOT AFFORD TO BASICALLY PAY FOR A NEW CAR FOR A KNOWN ISSUE THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

I BOUGHT MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER 3.5L V6 NEW IN MAY 2006. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS CAR UNTIL SUMMER OF 2009 JUST AFTER MY WARRANTY EXPIRED, MY GEAR SHIFTER STUCK IN THE PARK POSITION AND HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. I CALLED DODGE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT HAD SAME ISSUE. WAS TOLD NO, I PAID TO HAVE IT FIXED SOMEWHERE AROUND $450-500. ON MONDAY I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED BECAUSE IT BROKE DOWN ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK. IT SOUNDED LIKE THE CAR WAS GOING TO EXPLODE LIKE IN A CARTOON. IT WAS MAKING KNOCKING NOISES AND SOUNDED LIKE A DIESEL TRUCK. MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY ENGINE WAS SHOT. HOW COULD THIS BE? MY CAR HAS 67,716 MILES ON IT!!! VERY LOW MILEAGE FOR A 2006 VEHICLE. CALLED DODGE AND ASKED IF THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE ENGINE PROBLEM. I READ OF MANY, MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. NO RECALL, BUT IF I CAN HAVE IT TOWED TO AN APPROVED DODGE DEALER AND GET A DIAGNOSIS FROM THEIR MECHANIC, CALL BACK. I WAS GIVEN A CLAIM # FROM DODGE HQ. I HAVE AN INSURANCE ADJUSTER GOING OUT TOMORROW MORNING TO ASSESS THE DAMAGE AND THE PROBLEM. I AM FURIOUS! I SPENT A LOT OF MONEY ON THIS CAR AND IT SHOULD LAST MORE THAN 67K MILES! UPDATE FROM AUG 5, 2014 UPDATE: 8/5/14 INSURANCE TOLD ME THAT IT IS A KNOWN COMMON ISSUE WITH THE DODGE CHARGER AND BECAUSE OF THIS, THERE ARE NOT MANY RECYCLED ENGINES AVAILABLE OR IF THEY ARE FOUND, IT MIGHT HAVE SAME ISSUE AS MINE DID. ADJUSTER SAID THAT IT WAS A PRESSURE LEAK THAT ONLY HAPPENS WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE FILTER TO EXPAND AND OIL TO LEAK. MY ENGINE IS BEYOND REPAIR! I CALLED DODGE HQ AGAIN AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AFTER CHECKING MY VIN#. ALSO TOLD ME THEY WILL NOT HELP ME. THEY TOLD ME I CAN FILE A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA. MEANWHILE I AM TAKING THE BUS. NOT A HAPPY CAMPER! *TR

SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL PUSH THROUGH AND KEEP MOVING OTHER TIMES IT WILL STALL COMPLETELY AND NEED TO BE RESTARTED.

I WAS DRIVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR STARTED TO STALL DO TO A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE FORWARD AND BACK VERY HARD THEN THE ENGINE WOULD RACE ALMOST TO REDLINE THEN THE CAR WOULD STALL. IT DID THIS THREE TIMES BUT ON THE THIRD TIME I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE MEDAL HITTING MEDAL. THE THIRD TIME I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND HEARD THIS LOUD TICKING SOUND. I CUT THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE SOUND WAS STILL THERE. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOOK APART MY ENGINE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A ROD BEARING ISSUE AND MY ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS GOING TO COST ME $6300. I DON'T BELIEVE THIS IS FAIR DUE TO THE REPEATED ENGINE STALLING AND JUMPING IS WHAT CAUSED MY ISSUE IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE DEALERSHIP ORIGINALLY TOLD ME THAT THE STALLING AND JUMPING IS THE CAUSE OF MY ISSUE AND BECAUSE THERE IS A WARRANTY ON THE GAS TANK THEY WOULD REPLACE ANY DAMAGE THAT IT CAUSED. AFTER REQUESTING THE FUNDS FROM CHRYSLER CORP. THE DEALERSHIP STATED MY ISSUE COULD NOT BE CAUSED BY THE JUMPING AND STALLING. I QUESTION THEIR HONESTY. I CALLED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY REFUSE TO COVER ANY DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE DUE TO THE MILEAGE AND IT CANNOT BE PROVEN WHAT CAUSED MY ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THEY TOLD ME THAT THE REPEATED JUMPING AND STALLING COULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. *TR

IN MAY 2014 I RECIEVED A LETTER FROM CHRYSLER IN REGARDS TO THE FAULTY FUEL TANK IN MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT. THEY WROTE TO LET ME KNOW THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF A FAULTY FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT IN MY GAS TANK THAT WILL CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. I CALLED TO SCHEDULE THE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT CHRYSLER IS ONLY SENDING OUT ONE FUEL TANK PER DEALERSHIP PER WEEK AND THAT I WAS 7TH IN LINE TO HAVE MY WORK PERFORMED. SO THAT MEANT THAT I WOULD HAVE TO DRIVE A VEHICLE THAT WAS CONTINUALLY CUTTING OFF FOR 2 MONTHS EVEN BEFORE THEY WOULD FIX IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO INQUIRE WHY IT WOULD TAKE SO LONG TO FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW IS CAUSING NUMEROUS VEHICLES TO CUT OFF AND THEY SAID THAT THE PARTS ARE ON BACKORDER. I INDICATED TO THEM THAT I HAD COME CLOSE TO HAVING NUMEROUS ACCIDENTS BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS STALLING IN TRAFFIC AND YET THEY DIDNT SEEM TO CARE ONE IOTA. AFTER WAITING 2 MONTHS FOR MY TIME IN LINE TO COME AROUND I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHEN THE WORK WOULD BE ABLE TO BE DONE AND WAS TOLD THAT I WAS NEXT IN LINE BUT THE PART WAS STILL ON BACKORDER AND COULD NOT HAVE MY VEHICLE FIXED YET. THEY COULD NOT GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE AS TO WHEN THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE PARTS IN. I FIND IT VERY HARD TO FATHOM THAT A MAJOR AUTOMAKER SUCH AS CHRYSLER/DODGE, KNOWING ABOUT A PROBLEM WITH THEIR VEHICLES THAT ARE CAUSING THEM TO SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC AND ARE NOT EXPEDITING THE PROCESS OF HAVING THOSE VEHICLES FIXED. I HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY THUS FAR BY NOT HAVING A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT DUE TO MY CAR STALLING BUT I FEAR THAT SOMEONE ELSE MAY NOT BE SO LUCKY AND THAT SOMEONE IS GOING TO BE SERIOUSLY HURT. THERE ARE NUMEROUS VEHICLES LIKE MINE ON THE ROAD WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND ITS A SHAME THAT SOMEONE HAS TO RISK SERIOUS INJURY DUE TO CHRYSLER'S INABILITY TO DO WHATS RIGHT. *TR

WE PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE CHARGER 3.5L FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP WITH AROUND 63,000 MILES. THEY FILLED THE TANK UP BEFORE WE LEFT. OTHER THAN THE CUSTOMARY LAP AROUND TOWN WITH THE "NEW" CAR, I DIDN'T DRIVE IT FOR TWO DAYS. I DROVE THE CAR 70 MILES TO ANOTHER TOWN FOR AN APPOINTMENT WITH NO ISSUES. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE MY APPOINTMENT, I STARTED THE CAR AND ATTEMPTED TO BACK OUT OF MY PARKING SPOT. THE CAR DIED AS SOON AS I PLACED IT IN REVERSE. I PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK, RESTARTED AND TRIED TO SHIFT TO REVERSE AGAIN. THE CAR DIED AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. I ATTEMPTED THE SAME PROCESS AGAIN AND IT DIED YET AGAIN. I THOUGHT OF REVVING THE ENGINE WHILE REVERSING TO GET THE CAR TO MOVE, BUT I DIDN'T DO IT BECAUSE OF SAFETY ISSUES. I WAS BLINDLY BACKING INTO A STREET AND DIDN'T WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. MY BROTHER HAPPENS TO WORK IN THE SAME TOWN I WAS IN. HE CAME TO HELP. I STOOD IN THE STREET TO BLOCK TRAFFIC. HE REVVED UP THE ENGINE (TWO FOOTED THE BRAKE AND GAS) AND MANAGED TO BACK IT INTO THE STREET. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ON. I TWO FOOTED THE CAR THE 70 MILES BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP I HAD PURCHASED IT FROM. THE DEALERSHIP I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM SENT IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP SAYS THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY CAR AND THAT THEY COULDN'T REPLICATE THE ENGINE DYING. THEY STATED THAT I WAS DRIVING WITH THE PARKING/EMERGENCY BRAKE ON. I NEVER USE MY PARKING BRAKE (ALL MY CARS HAVE BEEN AUTOMATICS). MY PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT ON AT ANY TIME. MY BROTHER STATED THE PARKING BRAKE WAS NOT ON. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AND I AM NOT SATISFIED WITH HOW THE DEALERSHIP HANDLED IT. I COULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. WHAT IF IT HAD DIED IN THE ROAD WHEN I HAD TO STOP AT LIGHTS OR FOR OTHER VEHICLES TURNING IN FRONT OF ME? I FOUND SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER DODGE OWNERS ONLINE. SEE INVESTIGATION PE 13-016. *TR

TOWED IT HOME. LIFTED THE PLASTIC ENGINE COVER FOUND A LARGE HOLE AND THREE INNER ENGINE PARTS (ONE WAS A SPRING, POSSIBLE PARTS TO A ROD) THAT HAD BLOWN OUT OF THE HOLE.

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.

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, ENGINE HESITATES AND/OR STALLS. I ONLY FILL UP UNTIL THE FUEL PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, I DO NOT ADD ANY MORE FUEL THAN THAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED UP WITH FUEL. MOST OF THE STALLING/HESITATION OCCURS WHEN COASTING OR DECELERATING (COMING TO A STOP). THIS HAS CREATED MULTIPLE VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS DUE TO THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING AND I HAVE A LOSS OF THE POWER ASSIST TO THE STEERING. OCCASIONALLY THE ENGINE HAS A DIFFICULT TIME RESTARTING AFTER THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS WILL OCCUR APPROXIMATELY 4-8 TIMES AFTER A FILL-UP OF FUEL. *TR

I OWN A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T WITH THE 5.7 LITER HEMI ENGINE. I PURCHASED IT NEW IN JUNE OF 2006 WITH 5 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. AFTER 6 YEARS OF FILLING UP MY CAR BY LETTING THE GAS PUMP STOP AUTOMATICALLY WITH NO ISSUES; THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL RIGHT AFTER FILLING-UP WHEN TOPPING OFF THE TANK, STARTING AROUND MAY OF 2012. I CALLED AUTONATION DODGE IN ROSEVILLE, CALIFORNIA AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WAS FAMILIAR WITH MY ISSUE. HE ASKED IF I HAD FILLED UP THE TANK BY TOPPING IT OFF. I TOLD HIM, AFFIRMATIVE. HE ADVISED ME TO NOT TOP OFF THE TANK AT ALL DURING FILL-UPS OR TO BUY A NEW FUEL TANK AT THE COST OF $2000-3000 WITH INSTALLATION. FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS, I'VE BEEN LUCKY TO NOT TOP OFF THE FUEL TANK, BUT IT HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST 4 TIMES WHEN I MADE THE MISTAKE OF TOPPING OFF THE GAS. THE LAST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS YESTERDAY. AFTER BUYING GAS AND HAVING THE PUMP STOP AUTOMATICALLY, I DROVE INTO A MAJOR INTERSECTION AND STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT. THE CAR TURNED OFF, AND IT TOOK ABOUT 3 TRIES OF RE-STARTING THE IGNITION IN PARK BEFORE THE CAR LUCKILY POWERED ON AGAIN. WHEN MY LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE CAR WOULD JUMP AND LOSE POWER WHILE SHIFTING INTO SECOND AND THIRD GEARS. I WAS VERY FORTUNATE TO NOT HAVE ANY CARS BEHIND ME, BECAUSE THIS ISSUE OF THE CAR STALLING COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THIS STALLING HAZARD HAPPENED AGAIN YESTERDAY ON MY WAY HOME AND ALSO THIS MORNING. I FEEL CHRYSLER/FIAT SHOULD REPLACE ALL EFFECTED 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/TS WITH THIS ISSUE BY REPLACING THE TANK OR WHATEVER REPAIR IT WOULD TAKE TO FIX THIS SAFETY HAZARD. I FEEL THAT MOST OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE WON'T BE AWARE OF THIS ISSUE UNTIL IT HAPPENS TO THEM PERSONALLY. IT SHOULD BE MANDATORY FOR CHRYSLER/FIAT TO ISSUE A RECALL WITH ALL EXPENSES COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT 5.7L WITH ABOUT 100K MILES ON IT. FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO MY VEHICLE WILL ACT AS IF IT IS CUTTING OFF AND THEN WILL START BACK UP IMMEDIATELY. MY DASH LIGHTS FLASH AND I HEAR A CHIME EACH TIME THIS HAPPENS. ON OTHER OCCASIONS, MY VEHICLE WILL CUT OFF COMPLETELY WHILE IDLING AT A STOPLIGHT,INTERSECTION,STOP SIGN, ETC. MY VEHICLE WILL ALSO CUT OFF AND RIGHT BACK ON WHEN I TRY TO ACCELERATE AND OTHER TIMES IT WILL CUT OFF COMPLETELY. THIS IS REALLY SCARY WHEN IT CUTS OFF AS I TRY TO TURN AS A VEHICLE IS COMING, HOPING THE VEHICLE SEES ME AND DOESN'T T-BONE ME IN THE MIDDLE OF HE STREET AS I TRY TO GET THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN. I REALLY HOPE DODGE FINDS OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS AND AT LEAST INFORM THEIR CUSTOMERS HOW TO FIX IT OR BETTER YET, ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX A PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW EXISTS. *TR

THIS ISN'T THE 1ST TIME THAT THE ENGINE HAS STALLED AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK. MOST RECENT EPISODE HAPPENED AS I WAS PREPARING TO ENTER THE GAS STATIONS DRIVE-THRU CAR WASH...I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO ENTER THE CODE FOR THE WASH AND JUST AS I STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD THE ENGINE STALLED. HAPPENED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ON THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT (JUST AFTER A FUEL UP AND JUST BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY). ANOTHER TIME I WAS IN MOTION AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE STALLING AFFECTS THE TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE IS WARM WHEN THIS OCCURS. IT TAKES ABOUT 3 ATTEMPTS TO SUCCESSFULLY RESTART. *TR

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

OVERHEATED AND BLEW THE TOP RADIATOR HOSE,FIXED IT WITH AN OEM HOSE FROM DEALERSHIP NEXT DAY AND I TOPPED OF THE FLUID AND " BURPED" IT AND GOT ALL THE BUBBLES OUT. SAME DAY IT WAS FIXED I WAS IN A DRIVE THRU LINE AT A FAST FOOD PLACE AND IT WAS STILL OVERHEATING EVEN WITH MY HEATER TURNED ALL THE WAY UP TO RELIEVE SOME HEAT STRESS FROM THE MOTOR SO I HAD TO KEEP SHUTTING OFF THE CAR AND RESTARTING IT TO MOVE UP IN THE DRIVE THRU LINE JUST SO THE GAUGE NEVER REACHED THE RED LINE ON THE TEMP GAUGE AND I FINALLY RECEIVED MY FOOD AND THEN IT DID NOT WANT TO START OR ANYTHING SO DUE TO THE FACT OF COMMON COURTESY OF THE OTHER CUSTOMERS IN LINE DID NOT WANT TO HOLD THEM UP I JUMPED OUT AND PUSHED MY CAR OUT OF THE WAY AND INTO A PARKING SPOT AND THAT'S WHEN THE INJURY HAPPENED BY PUSHING IT I INJURED MY BACK SEVERELY. AFTER IT WAS IN A PARKING SPOT I TRIED ONCE AGAIN TO START IT AND IT STARTED BUT WITH A LOUD KNOCK COMING FROM THE MOTOR, AND BLACK AND WHITE SMOKE FROM THE TAILPIPES. SO I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE AND HAD MY FRIEND WHOM IS A MECHANIC AT THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP COME OVER AND LOOK INTO IT FOR ME JUST TO FIND OUT A VALVE SEAT DROPPED AND DAMAGE THE INTERNALS ON MY MOTOR. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM NOW WITH DODGE WITH MANY COMPLAINTS AROUND THE WORLD SO WHY THE HECK ISN'T THIS PROBLEM BEING RECALLED???? JUST SO ANYONE WHO READS THIS KNOWS, MY CAR IS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T 5.7L HEMI WITH ONLY 110,000 MILES ON IT AND DEALERSHIP MAINTAINED SO THIS KINDA STUFF WOULDN'T HAPPEN BUT WHAT DO YOU KNOW GOOD OL DODGE SCREWING THERE CUSTOMERS BY NOT FIXING THE PROBLEM.

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

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

Mileage: 98,000

I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN ABOUT FIVE TIMES. AFTER FILLING UP MY CAR WITH GAS (I DO NOT OVERFILL), I NOTICE THAT MY CAR WILL ALL OF THE SUDDEN TURN OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND ON THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL VERY ANXIOUS AND SCARED WHEN I DRIVE NOW BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. AFTER DISCOVERING ONLINE THAT MANY OTHER 2006 DODGE CHARGERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE, I AM HOPING THERE IS AN HONEST SOLUTION OUT THERE. CHRYSLER/DODGE HAVE NOT RESPONDED TO ANY OF MY CORRESPONDENCE, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF AN AUTOMATED RESPONSE. FROM HERE ON OUT, I WILL BE FORCED TO ONLY FILL MY CAR WITH HALF A TANK OF GAS.

Mileage: 141,000

INITIALLY, AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE (2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T WITH 5.7L HEMI) AT A GAS STATION, THE ENGINE WOULD HESITATE AND STUMBLE A MILE OR SO LATER, AND OPERATE NORMALLY AFTER A FEW MOMENTS. HOWEVER, BEGINNING WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, WHENEVER I REFUEL AT THE GAS STATION, THE ENGINE WILL HESITATE AND THEN STALL.THE OBD DOES NOT ILLUMINATE THE MIL OR REGISTER A DTC. THE ENGINE IS THEN HARD TO RESTART, AND ONCE RESTARTED AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BEGIN TO MOVE IMMEDIATELY UPON PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. THE STALLING HAPPENS WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION, WHEN STOPPED AND IDLING, AND HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS AS THE UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER HAPPENS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS CONDITION CONTINUES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND MILES. I HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE PRACTICE OF REFUELING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT HOME TO PARK THE CAR OVERNIGHT, AS IT SEEMS TO DRIVE BETTER GIVEN TIME TO SIT AFTER REFUELING. *TR

IT ALSO STALLS EVERY TIME DRIVING WITHIN THE FIRST 2 MILES OF FILLING UP WITH GAS. IT IS VERY SCARY DRIVING WITH MY FAMILY IN THE CAR AND FEARING THAT MY CAR WILL STALL IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

ON OR ABOUT 03 OCTOBER 2013, THE ENGINE (5.7L HEMI) STALLED GOING AT 30-35 MPH. THE ENGINE SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT DISAPPEARED WHEN I RESTARTED THE ENGINE. SINCE THAT DAY, I HAVE EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ENGINE STALL INCIDENTS (ABOUT 10 TIMES) USUALLY AT A TRAFFIC STOP BEING IDLE OR APPROACHING A STOP, AND DURING REVERSE. IN NOVEMBER, WHILE CRUISING ON A HIGHWAY, THE ENGINE ACTED AS IF TO STALL AGAIN WITH ALL THE LIGHTS AND CHIMING ON THE EVIC ON AND OFF, BUT DID NOT STALL PROBABLY DUE TO THE MOMENTUM OR INERTIA. AT THAT TIME, I HAD MY ENTIRE FAMILY (SIZE OF FOUR) WITH ME IN THE VEHICLE AND FEARED FOR THEIR SAFETY. I WENT TO MULTIPLE CHRYSLER DEALERS AND SERVICE CENTERS, BUT COULD NOT PREVENT THE PROBLEM FROM REOCCURING AGAIN. IT APPEARS FROM MY ONLINE RESEARCH AND READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON NHTSA WEBSITE THAT THE SYMPTOMS I AM EXPERIENCING ARE PROBABLY CONSISTENT WITH THE FAULTY SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. *TR

THE DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS BLOWN DUE OIL SLUDGE. I VERY ANGRY ESPECIALLY SINCE DODGE ONLY CHANGED MY OIL AND WAS NOT TOLD ABOUT THIS EARLIER. MY COUSIN HAS DODGE CHARGER AS WELL AND ENGINE BLOWN 8 MONTHS BEFORE MINE FOR THE SAME REASON. WHEN I TOLD THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY TOLD ME I SHOULDN'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING I HEAR.

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

AS I PULLED OUT OF THE STATION @UNDER 15MPH, MY CAR STALLED-ENGINE DIED, OIL LIGHT & BELL APPEARED, & STEERING LOCKED UP. IT TOOK 2-ATTEMPTS THE 1ST TIME TO RESTART IT W/ IT ACTING LIKE THE ENGINE HAD FLOODED. I DROVE APPROX. 2-BLOCKS & IT AGAIN STALLED (INCLUDING ALL OF THE ABOVE) AS I WAS SLOWING FOR A STOPLIGHT. IT TOOK 2-3 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. I DROVE APPROX 1-1/2BLOCKS, INCLUDING A SLIGHT INCLINE, TO A STOPLIGHT WHERE IT AGAIN STALLED, THOUGH THIS TIME IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED. AFTER DRIVING 3-BLOCKS MORE, AS I SLOWED FOR A STOPLIGHT IT AGAIN BEGAN TO SPUTTER & BUCK AS THOUGH GOING TO STALL; I CONT'D TO BRAKE BUT MAINTAINED PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR ATTEMPTING TO MAINTAIN RPMS & OIL PRESSURE; HOWEVER AS I TURNED THE CORNER IT AGAIN STALLED & TOOK 4-ATTEMPTS TO RESTART.

CAR STALLS OUT AND LOSS OF POWER WHILE STOPPING FOR STOP LIGHT. OIL LIGHT COMES ON AFTER STALLING OUT BUT NO ENGINE LIGHT OR FAULT CODE SHOWS UP. CAR USUALLY STARTS UP RIGHT AWAY BUT DOES TAKE A COUPLE OF TRIES AT TIMES. CAR ALSO JERKS AROUND LIKE STARVING FOR FUEL. HAD A TUNE UP DONE, FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SHOP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DISCERNING TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY DUE TO SAFETY. A CAR THAT STALLS FOR NO REASON OR WARNING IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

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

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

VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN TODAY (OCTOBER 19TH, 2013) WITH NO WARNING WHILE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. FILLED UP EARLIER TODAY WITH NO TOP OFF. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES PRIOR SINCE (MAY 2013). DEALER CAN NOT DIAGNOSE. NORMALLY HAPPENS AFTER FUEL FILL UP. AFTER COMPLAINING MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALER, REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND PERFORMED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND RE FLASHED THE PCM AT MY EXPENSE, DESPITE HAVING WARRANTY COVERAGE THROUGH 2015 120K MILES BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM ON A 5 MINUTE TEST DRIVE.

AFTER FUELING UP, I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND ONTO A MAIN ROAD. ABOUT 300YARDS FROM THE GAS STATION. I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION MY CAR "DINGED" THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I LOST ALL ABILITY TO TURN, OR BREAK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I FEARED FOR MY LIFE. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I LET THE FUEL LEVELS GET TOO LOW, AFTER, I REALIZED IF I FILL UP ALL THE WAY, THIS ALWAYS OCCURS. GOD FORBID IF I WERE TO BE ENTERING ON TO A FREEWAY AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3+ TIMES, I AM VERY SCARED AND NERVOUS TO DRIVE MY CAR. SOMETHING AS TO BE DONE. PLEASE, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE THE GAS TANK AND EVAP CANISTER ARE SCREWY! I. ANT GET ANY DEALERSHIP OR MECHANIC TO FIX IT WITHOUT REPLACING THE WHOLE TANK,($$$$$$$). *TR

EVERY TIME YOU FILL UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR WANTS TO STALL. I'M TOLD THERE IS A SOLENOID IN THE GAS TANK THAT FAILS AND IT LETS RAW FUEL GO TO THE EVAP CANISTER CAUSING A STALL CONDITION. THIS SOLENOID VALVE IS MOLDED INTO THE GAS TANK AND THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. THIS STALL CAN HAPPEN WHILE YOUR SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT OR JUST PULLING OUT INTO AN INTERSECTION. THE INTERSECTION SITUATION IS VERY DANGEROUS. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 MILES, THE CAR STALLED AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE HOME. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AGAIN AFTER MAKING A TURN AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE, BUT IT DIDN'T. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN DECEMBER OF 2012 WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 40000 MILES ON IT. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I STOPPED TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT RE-OCCUR UNTIL OCTOBER 2013. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND EVEN IF I DON'T FILL THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL AFTER DRIVING IT A FEW MILES. FORTUNATELY, EVERY TIME THE CAR STALLED I WAS TURNING ON TO A QUIET STREET WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC, BUT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES A RECALL FROM DODGE. *TR

2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR YEARS, I READ ABOUT OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES AND DECIDED TO CONTRIBUTE MINE AS WELL AS IT HAPPENED AGAIN THE OTHER DAY WHEN I ACCIDENTALLY REFILLED ALL THE WAY. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY, THE VEHICLE STALLS IMMEDIATELY AND WILL CONTINUE STALLING UNTIL THE GAS TANK IS NO LONGER "COMPLETELY FULL." THE ONLY EASY WAY TO FIX WITHOUT TAKING SOMETHING APART IS TO REPEATEDLY RESTART THE CAR UNTIL ENOUGH GAS BURNS OFF. EVEN WITH TAKING CARE TO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY, GOING UP CERTAIN HILLS SEEM TO CAUSE THE STALL AS WELL. NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, JUST POWER CUTS OFF. ONE SINGLE CHIME FROM THE CAR AS THE OIL LIGHT TURNS ON. YOU CAN RESTART IT BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS IS BAD WHEN IT HAPPENS IN TRAFFIC. SEEMS TO STALL MOST AT STOPLIGHTS AND OTHER IDLE CONDITIONS BUT CAN ALSO STALL IN LOW SPEED SCENARIOS. NEVER GOT FAST ENOUGH TO TELL IF IT WOULD HAPPEN THERE TOO. ACCORDING TO BOTH INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND DEALER, THIS IS A VALVE INSIDE THE FUEL TANK WHICH WOULD REQUIRE AN EXPENSIVE FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT TO FIX - THE MECHANIC SAID THEY HAD SEEN A LOT OF THEM, BUT THERE WAS NO RECALL SO IT WOULD BE AT MY EXPENSE TO FIX. *TR

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. IT IS CLEAR THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THESE CARS, I HOPE DODGE TAKES CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND RESOLVES THE ISSUES THAT ARE OCCURRING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

HAVE READ SEVERAL POSTING AND DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THIS ISSUE WITH SAME MODEL/YEAR CARS. HEARD ABOUT POSSIBLE INVESTIGATION FOR FAULTY FUEL/VAPOR SEPARATOR VALVE WITH CUTS OFF FUEL TO ENGINE AND CAUSES ENGINE TO STALL. HAD THIS HAPPENED TO A DRIVER WHO DID NOT KNOW HOW TO REACT PROPERLY, OR HAD A DISTRACTED DRIVER NOT SEE MY CAR STALLED OR STOPPED, THIS COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A SERIOUS PROBLEM.

FIRST INSTANCE WAS ON SUNDAY, 6 MAY 2012. CAR STALLED AFTER TURNING ONTO CITY STREET WHILE ACCELERATING TO POSTED SPEED: 35 MPH. IF FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO CLICK ON GAS PUMP (FULL TANK) THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY IN VERY HUMID WEATHER CONDITIONS/RAIN. CAR HAS ALSO STALLED ON HILLS AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND HAS STALLED AT ON-RAMPS TO LOCAL INTERSTATE HIGHWAY/CITY BYPASS, GIVEN THE ABOVE FULL FUEL TANK ISSUE. IF I DON'T FILL THE TANK ABOVE THE 7/8 MARK ON THE FUEL GAGE INDICATOR, THE CAR DOES NOT STALL. IF I EXCEED THE 7/8 MARK, THEN THE CAR DOES STALL, MULTIPLE TIMES IF VERY HUMID CONDITIONS EXIST AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE FUEL TANK IS AT OR BELOW 7/8 CAPACITY. I'VE HAD APPROXIMATELY 22 STALLS SINCE SUNDAY 6 MAY 2012.

IN ADDITION TO THE STALLING, ON ONE OCCASION THE ENGINE CUT OFF COMPLETELY. THANKFULLY, I WAS IN A LOW TRAFFIC AREA AND IT DIDN'T CAUSE A CRASH. THE STALLING DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN THE ENGINE IS FILLED UP PARTIALLY OR WITH ABOUT $20.00 WORTH OF GASOLINE. ON SEPTEMBER 1ST AFTER LEAVING THE GROCERY STORE, MY HUSBAND WENT TO START THE CAR AND IT STARTED SMOKING PROFUSELY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP.

MINUTES AFTER FILLING MY TANK WITH GAS, I DROVE LESS THAN A MILE AND TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT. I WAS STILL DRIVING, AROUND 15 MPH, WHEN I HEARD A DING, AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND QUICKLY NOTICED A LOSS OF BRAKING AS WELL. IT WAS THEN I REALIZED THE CAR HAD STALLED WHILE I WAS STILL MOVING! THANKFULLY I HAD NO ONE AROUND AND WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH WHERE I COULD SLOWLY COME TO A STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE, AND THE CAR PROCEEDED TO STALL OUT 2 MORE TIMES JUST SITTING THERE. THERE WAS NO WARNING SYMPTOMS AHEAD OF TIME - PERFECTLY SMOOTH IDLE AT THE CORRECT RPM, THEN IT JUST DROPS TO 0 AS IF THE KEY WERE TURNED OFF. I RAN INTO THE STORE FOR LESS THAN 2 MINUTES, CAME OUT AND DROVE HOME. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY PROBLEMS SINCE THEN (THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO). THERE WERE NO CODES THROWN.

I'VE HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WOULD DIE. BUT I'VE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TERRIBLE LOUD NOISE OF THE ENGINE. IT'S CLEAR THIS ENGINE SHOULDN'T HAVE HAD THIS MALFUNCTION AT THE MILEAGE THE CAR IS CURRENTLY AT, I BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE AS I TOWED THE CAR TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP FOR INSPECTION OF THE ENGINE AND THEY HAD STATED THIS MALFUNCTION SHOULDN'T HAVE HAPPENED AT THIS MILEAGE IF AT ALL. DODGE REFUSES TO OPEN THE ENGINE TO DETERMINE THE EXACT ISSUE WITH THE ENGINE WITHOUT MY FRONTING 480.00.

DROVE TO A BUSINESS AND ONCE PLACED IN PARK, THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME STUCK. CALLED AAA, THEY WERE GOING TO TOW IT, THEN ANOTHER DRIVER SHOWED UP FOR AAA AND KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO. HE TAKES APART THE CASE THAT GOES AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT AND PRESSES ON A PINK COLORED EMERGENCY PARK RELEASE LEVER, ( WHY IS THAT EVEN AN OPTION??!!! ) IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT ATTACHED TO ANY THING AS IT FELL DOWN INTO THE SPACE AROUND THE SHIFTER AND STILL RESIDES THERE. THE DISCUSSION OF TOWING IT CAME UP AGAIN, THEN WE NOTICED A CABLE ATTACHED TO THE SHIFTER AND AFTER PLAYING WITH IT HAVE DEVELOPED A SYSTEM TO UNLATCH IT FROM PARK. YOU HAVE TO PULL THE CABLE TO THE LEFT WITH A PEN TO DISABLE THE GEAR SHIFT. TODAY I TOOK IT TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP KNEW JUST WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, BUT DENIES A RECALL ON THIS. I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE IT FIXED MONDAY THE 12TH. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT, THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DISASTER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE FRONT END HAS BEEN FIXED ABOUT 4 TIMES FOR VIGOROUSLY SHAKING AND A GOD AWFUL RATTLING NOISE ( GOES AWAY FOR A SHORT TIME THEN RETURNS SHORTLY AFTER BEING FIXED!!), NUMEROUS TIRES HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BECAUSE THAT MUST BE THE PROBLEM TOO ( OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF THE DEALERSHIP), THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STAYS ON, THE ABS LIGHT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND HAS LEFT ME WITH A NO BRAKE SENSATION ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

AFTER REFUELING, THE CAR STALLED UPON MODERATE ACCELERATION. I THOUGHT IT WAS A ONE TIME ISSUE, BUT TOOK IT TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP AFTER THE THIRD INCIDENT. THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. AFTER EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND THAT THE PROBLEM IS APPARENTLY WITH A PURGE SOLENOID VALVE THAT CANNOT BE REPLACED WITHOUT THE ENTIRE GAS TANK BEING REPLACED, AS WELL AS THE EVAP CANISTER. THE CAR HAS BEEN DOING THIS MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY, ALMOST TO THE POINT OF DOING IT EVERY FILL UP. IF IT DOESN'T STALL WHEN THE ENGINE IS RESTARTED, IT DOES IT RANDOMLY WITHIN A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING. EITHER WHILE ACCELERATING, OR CRUISING. THIS IS A LARGE SAFETY ISSUE, AS MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR INTO THE CITY OF CINCINNATI FOR WORK, AND THE CAR HAS STALLED AFTER SHE REFUELS. WE ARE NOT LEAVING THE ENGINE RUNNING DURING REFUELING, AND WE ARE NOT TOPPING OFF THE TANK. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH ONLINE AND IT APPEARS TO BE HAPPENING TO SEVERAL PEOPLE. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED SPORADICALLY ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS, AND I HAVE BARELY AVOIDED CRASHING A FEW TIMES WHEN THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS TURNING.

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER REFUELING AND PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION (INTO TRAFFIC). THEN, IT IS HARD TO START AND SPUTTERS AND STALLS FOR SOME TIME. IT APPEARS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK VENT VALVE FAILING TO SHUT OFF WHEN THE TANK IF FULL. THIS ALLOWS RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE EVAPORATION SYSTEM WHICH PROBABLY RUINS THE EVAPORATION CANISTER AS WELL. THE FUEL TANK VENT VALVE IS INTEGRATED INTO THE FUEL TANK SO, THE FUEL TANK HAS TO BE REPLACED IN ORDER TO FIX THE PRIMARY ISSUE. OTHER COMPONENTS IN THE EVAPORATION SYSTEM MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED AS THEY WERE NOT DESIGNED TO HAVE RAW FUEL IN THEM. *TR

I TOOK TO LOCAL MIDAS SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHOM ADVISED THERE WAS A GENERAL RECALL NOTICE. I CALLED LOCAL DEALERSHIP THAT DENIED COMPLAINTS OR LIABILITY FOR MY VIN. I THEN CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THAT ALSO DENIED KNOWLEDGE OF ANY SAFETY NOTICES. I REQUESTED THE COST FOR REPAIR; HOWEVER, 1.5 LATER NO ESTIMATE.

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.

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

WAS COMING DOWN A HILL WHEN MY ENGINE DIED AND THE DASHBOARD CHIME STARTED RINGING, PLUS THE OIL PRESSURE LIGHT CAME ON. WAS VERY LUCKY BEING ABLE TO WRESTLE THE CAR, STILL GOING DOWNHILL WITH NO POWER DRIVING OR POWER BRAKE ASSIST, INTO A 7-11 JUST BEFORE A MAJOR INTERSECTION (FOUR LANES ONE WAY, SIX LANES CROSSWISE). CALLED A TOW TRUCK. HAD BEEN SITTING THERE FOR A HALF HOUR AND ON A LARK WE TRIED TO START IT UP AGAIN--AND IT DID START (IMMEDIATELY AFTER INCIDENT, I COULD NOT START). BUT I WAS UNSURE OF RELIABILITY SO HAD IT TOWED TO SHOP, WHICH COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. DROVE IT AWAY THE NEXT DAY AND DID RESEARCH, AND FOUND MULTIPLE REPORTS IN AN ENTHUSIAST FORUM (CHARGERFORUMS.COM) SAYING THIS ISSUE AFFECTED THEM AFTER THE GAS TANK WAS FILLED. BELIEF IS FLAW IN VALVE LEADING TO EVAP SYSTEM--NO ONE WITH NEW CHARGERS SEEMS TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM, PERHAPS RESIDE BUILDUP OVER TIME (ONE FORUM MEMBER, AFTER REPLACING TANK, CUT SECTION AWAY WITH VALVE AND REPORTED ACCUMULATED RESIDE ON VALVE). ONLY KNOWN SOLUTION SAID TO BE REPLACEMENT OF GAS TANK (BECAUSE VALVE IS BURIED IN TANK) OR NOT FILLING UP ALL THE WAY. SINCE THEN, I HAVE ONLY FILLED GAS TANK TO 3/4 MARK MOST OF THE TIME. THAT ELIMINATED THE PROBLEM EXCEPT FOR TWO MORE INCIDENTS WHEN I WAS CARELESS AND LET IT FILL CLOSE TO TOTALLY FULL. *EVERYONE* WHO GETS NEW GAS TANK REPORTS THIS PROBLEM AS SOLVED.

TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED MY FRONT TIRES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND/OR ROTATED TO THE BACK DUE TO AN UNUSUAL WEARING ON THE TIRES. THE WEAR WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRES.THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN PARK POSITION AND THERE IT STAYED WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEAR TO ANYTHING AND HAD TO TAKE THE CONSOLE AROUND THE LEVER APART TO SHIFT GEARS. AND THE BRAKES SQUEAK ALL THE TIME EVEN AFTER HAVING THEM REPLACED AND THE ROTORS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE STRUTS. WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING IN IDLE, THE LIGHTS DIMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A SHORTAGE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I LET MY 17YR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVE MY CAR TO SCHOOL AND WHEN SHE GOT TO A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS IS DANGEROUS, SO I DON'T LET HER DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE.

I JUST READ AN ARTICLE ON YAHOO STATING AN INVESTIGATION IN THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER ENGINE STALLING. FOR 2 YEARS I HAD THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS INADVERTENT BUT DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY WHEN DRIVING INTERSTATE SPEEDS. THE ENGINE WOULD STALL OUT, ALMOST LIKE YOU TURNED THE KEY OFF AND THEN BACK ON. IT ALMOST COST ME A WRECK ON THE INTERSTATE. IT WOULD ALSO DO IT AT IDLE SPEEDS BUT AT THAT RPM IT WOULD KILL THE ENGINE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS AND BECAUSE THE PROBLEM WAS INTERMITTENT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE IT. WHEN IT FINALLY GOT WORSE, I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED NEW PLUGS. I CHANGED THEM AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. THEN THEY CHANGED ALL 8 COILS AND IT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM. FINALLY AS A LAST RESORT THEY REPLACED THE COMPUTER AND IT FIXED THE PROBLEM. THIS WHOLE PROCESS COST ME ABOUT $4,000.

ON JULY 4TH 2009, AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T (5.7L HEMI WITH APPROXIMATELY 38,000 MILES), IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH. IT RAN/IDLED ROUGH WHEN RESTARTED. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT, IT REPEATS THE STALLING ISSUE RANDOMLY AFTER REFUELING AND HAS CONTINUED UNTIL CURRENT DAY (5/14/2013). IT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, CAUSING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS THAT PUT MY LIFE, AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS IN DANGER, BUT USUALLY STALLS WHEN STOPPING AT STOP/YIELD SIGNS. AFTER REFUELING, IT IS UNSAFE FOR ME TO TRY AND MERGE ONTO THE FREEWAY UNLESS I CIRCLE TOWN ON LOW SPEED CITY ROADS UNTIL THE CAR STALLS OR I FEEL IT WILL NOT BE AN ISSUE AT THE TIME - THIS IS A GROSS WASTE OF FUEL THAT SHOULD NOT BE NECESSARY BUT UNDER CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES, IT IS. THROUGH MY OWN INVESTIGATION THRU ON-LINE SOURCES AND MEMBERS WITHIN MY LOCAL CAR CLUB, I HAVE FOUND THE ISSUE TO LIKELY BE A FAULTY ROLL-OVER VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL TANK, WHICH IS NON-SERVICEABLE AND REQUIRES REPLACING THE ENTIRE FUEL TANK (ABOUT $750~900 FOR PARTS AND 3~6 HOURS OF LABOR). *TR

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.

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.

HE STATED THE CAR WAS OVERHEATING WHEN THE GAUGE NEVER DOCUMENTED SUCH A THING. HE ALSO STATED THAT THERE IS A DAMAGED HEAD GASKET AND MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE VEHICLE IS MAKING A "WEIRD" NOISE AND THE ONLY WAY TO DIAGNOSE ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS IS THROUGH TAKING THE ENGINE APART. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS COULD HAPPEN TO A 2006 VEHICLE. NEVER PURCHASING ANOTHER DODGE EVER AGAIN. THIS VEHICLE NEVER GAVE ME ANY PROBLEMS AND NOW ALL THIS MECHANICAL STUFF HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE. ALL THE FLUIDS AND EVERYTHING HAS BEEN UP TO DATE AND NO THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

THIS PROBLEM IS RELATED TO THE PURGE SOLENOID. THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEM STORES FUEL VAPORS FROM THE TANK AND THEN BURNS THEM IN THE ENGINE, TO KEEP THE VAPORS FROM GOING INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. WHEN YOU FILL THE TANK WITH FUEL THE AIR AND VAPOR THAT THE FUEL DISPLACES HAS TO GO INTO THE EVAP SYSTEM. THERE IS A VALVE ON TOP OF THE TANK THAT ALLOWS THE VAPOR OUT, BUT IS SUPPOSED TO SHUT OFF WHEN LIQUID FUEL HITS IT AS THE TANK FILLS. WHAT HAPPENS IS THIS VALVE FAILS AND IT ALLOWS YOU TO PUSH LIQUID FUEL INTO THE EVAP SYSTEM WHEN YOU PUSH TOO MUCH FUEL INTO THE TANK. THIS LIQUID FUEL GOES INTO THE VAPOR CANISTER AND LINES. WHEN YOU START THE ENGINE A COUPLE MINUTES LATER THE PURGE SOLENOID WILL COME ON TO DO IT'S JOB AND BURN THESE VAPORS, BUT WITH THIS FAILED VALVE IT SUCKS UP LIQUID FUEL INSTEAD, SO THE ENGINE RUNS ROUGH AND CAN DIE AT IDLE. THE VEHICLE STALLS FOR THE NEXT 5 MILES OR SO WHENEVER YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS, I.E. TAKING A TURN OR SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. THE VEHICLE BUCKS VIOLENTLY AS WELL. WHEN THE ENGINE STALLS IT CUTS ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE CAUSING YOU TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND THE ABS. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS VAPOR LOCKED IT WILL NOT RESTART IMMEDIATELY. MY FEAR IS THAT I AM GOING TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND BE INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLS AND WILL NOT RESTART OR I'LL BE INJURED WHEN IT HAPPENS TAKING A CURVE OR TURN. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER SAYS THEY HAVE NO SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE ELSE HAS COMPLAINED ABOUT. A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH (DODGE CHARGER STALL AFTER FILLING WITH GAS) SHOWS IT IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE NOT ONLY WITH THE CHARGER BUT THE MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300 AS WELL.

I WAS TRAVELING ALONG THE INTERSTATE AND NOTICED A HESITATION IN MY AUTOMOBILE DUE TO A SEIZED UP ENGINE. JUST BEFORE IT SEIZED UP I HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A GARAGE. THE SERVICE PERSON DID AN INVESTIGATION AN INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE WAS DAMAGED AND WOULD NEED A COMPLETE OVERHAUL OR REPLACEMENT. I WAS TOLD BY THE MACHANIC THAT THE ENGINE IN THE VEHICLE IS NOTORIOUS FOR FAILURE DUE TO A MALFUCTIONING OIL PUMP OR DEFECTIVE CONNECTING ROD BEARING. I DID SOME RESEARCH AN FOUND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ASSOCIATED WITH A FAILED CONNECTING ROD BEARING. ONE OF MY CO-WORKERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING WITH HIS AUTOMOBILE WHICH IS A CHRYSLER/DODGE PRODUCT. THIS ENGINE IS A SAFETY HAZARD IN THAT BY SEIZING UP WHILE IN MOTION IT COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO LOOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. *TT
