The contact stated that on various occasions after refueling the vehicle over half tank, the vehicle would stall and then lose motive power while driving at slower speeds or while coming to a stop. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that she was only able to restart the vehicle after refueling again. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the passenger’s side fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that she was unable to refuel the vehicle past half tank without the failure recurring. The local dealer was then made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in a recall.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND CONTINUE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER (NISSAN BROS NISSAN, 5750 MESMER AVE, STE. A, CULVER CITY, CA 90230) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VAPOR RECOVERING SYSTEM FAILED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. *TT *TR CONSUMER STATED UPON REFUELING AND PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION, CONSUMER'S CAR STARTED TO STRUGGLE WITH POWER, THE POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES SEEMED TO BE SEVERLY REDUCED, AND THEN THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN. HAPPENED SECOND TIME. CONSUMER GOOGLED AND FOUND "2006 DODGE CHARGER STALLS AFTER FUELING" UPDATED 9/4/18*JB

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 BY 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? *TR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER KEEP STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT GETTING TO READY TO TURN AND THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. THANKFUL IT WAS A TURN SIGNAL OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE CAR JUST STALLS THEN - YOU CAN WAIT ABOUT 5 MIN. AND IT WILL START BACK UP. UPON DOING MY RESEARCH I AM UNSURE TO WHY THEIR HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT STARTS TO STALL THEN I HIT THE GAS AND IT KEEPS GOING. *TR

Mileage: 28,000

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

CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO REPLACEMENT PARTS NOT AVAILABLE TO COMPLETE FUEL TANK AND AIRBAG RECALL NOTICES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, THE VEHICLE WOULD THEN STALL. FOR THE NEXT YEAR, THE VEHICLE STALLED OCCASIONALLY. IN MAY OF 2014, THE CONSUMER RECEIVED A NOTICE REGARDING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK.

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AFTER HAVING JUST LEFT A GAS STATION AND FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES NOW AT SLOW SPEEDS AS WELL. DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME, BUT DOES OCCUR OFTEN AND ALWAYS WITHIN MINUTES OF REFUELING. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEGAN TO STALL AFTER A GAS FILL-UP. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING. I HAD IT STALL ABOUT 5 TIMES AFTER FILLING UP TODAY. ONE IN WHICH I WAS GOING 40 MPH. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP AND IT IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY IF MYSELF AND FAMILY. *TR

Mileage: 64,000

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

Mileage: 76,000

MY CAR WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING. I HAVE TRIED TO RESEARCH WHAT THE PROBLEM, OTHERS INDICATED A FUEL PURGE VALVE. MY CARS RUNS FINE OTHER WISE BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPEN. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP AT GAS STATION, CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC WHEN FUEL IS SUCKED INTO VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM. DEALER SAYS FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALLS. *TR

FULL TANK FILL FOR TRIP TO FLORIDA FROM NORTH CAROLINA. CAR STALLED WITHIN IN FEW BLOCKS FROM GAS STATION. RESTART AND STALL SEVERAL TIMES. LET IDLE FOR AWHILE AND NOTICED RPM'S GOING UP AND DOWN AT IDLE. FINALLY GOT GOING AND FUELED WITH A FULL TANK 2 TIMES ON WAY TO FLORIDA, SAME PROBLEM EACH TIME. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP IN DELAND FLORIDA AND WAS TOLD I HAD A FAULTY FUEL FLOAT AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE FUEL TANK OR I COULD WAIT UNTIL I GOT BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA. THEY SAID IF I ONLY FILLED TO 3/4 IT SHOULD BE FINE. I DID THAT AND GOT BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP IN GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA. THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BY FILLING FUEL TANK AND ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER FOR WARRANTY. CHRYSLER DENIED IT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND GOT A CASE NUMBER. I TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK. NONE OF THEM CALLED BACK, SO I HAD TO MAKE CALLS. THEY DENIED FOR REASONS: VIN NOT COVERED, CAR BUILT IN WRONG MONTH, CAR HAS SALVAGE TITLE, NOT COVERED UNDER X53 OR CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN #14-002-14 ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 2014.. I ASKED FOR A LETTER OF DENIAL. THEY REFUSED. SAID I COULD CONTACT AN ATTORNEY IF I WANTED A LETTER. THE COST FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM WILL BE $1,250.00. I HAVE HAD DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES SINE 1969. NOT A WAY TO TREAT A GOOD CUSTOMER. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK AND DRIVING OFF THE GAS STATION LOT ONTO A MAIN ROAD MY CAR STALLED AND DIED ALMOST CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. MY CAR CONTINUED TO STALL ALL THE WAY HOME. IT RESTARTED AFTER STALLING BUT PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR ANYWHERE IN FEAR THAT IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED (MONEY WHICH I DO NOT HAVE) TO A SERVICE STATION WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE OF A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. I CALLED THE CAR DEALER AND THEY DID IN FACT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THE FUEL TANK WILL BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING SEVERAL MONTHS FOR A GAS TANK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT RECEIVING ANY FUEL TANKS. I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL. I CAN NOT GET A JOB BECAUSE I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM. THIS IS REALLY PUT A HARDSHIP ON ME. I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY ARE THERE NO TANKS BEING SENT TO THE DEALERSHIPS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? I CAN NOT DRIVE A CAR THAT PUTS MY LIFE IN DANGER AS WELL AS THE LIVES OF OTHERS. *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.

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

THIS CAR STALLS FOR THE FIRST 20-30 MILES AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. IT STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS, WHILE IDLING, WHEN CRUISING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ETC... *TR

Mileage: 120,154

AFTER FILL UP CAR STALLED SHORTLY AFTER ,WHILE IN TRAFFIC, CAR STARTED UP AND SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME, BUT CAR KEPT TURNING ON AND SHUTTING DOWN AT IDLE AND LOW SPEED. *TR

Mileage: 42,150

I WAS STOPPED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I BEGAN MAKING A LEFT AND THE CAR STALLED. AN ONCOMING VAN NEARLY T'D MY CAR AT 40 MPH. THIS WAS THE THIRD INCIDENT IN THE PAST MONTH. THIS CAR SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE CHRYSLER/DODGE FACES A SIMILAR FATE AS GM. *TR

Mileage: 117,000

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER STALLS AND DIES WHEN I AM DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN I STOP. THIS USUALLY OCCURS AFTER I HAVE REFUELED MY CAR. ON THE LAST OCCURRENCE MY CAR DIED IN AN INTERSECTION. THE CAR USUALLY RESTARTS AFTER I TURN THE KEY. HOWEVER, THE OTHER DAY IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO RESTART IT AGAIN. *TR

Mileage: 105,000

JUST AN UPDATE SINCE MY FIRST COMPLAINT IN JUNE 2014. THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL SEVERAL TIMES AFTER EVERY FILL UP. TODAY, IT DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION TWICE (WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC) AND THEN DIED A THIRD TIME WHEN I WAS PAST THE INTERSECTION BUT WITHIN THE SAME BLOCK. I WISH MY HUSBAND HAD NEVER PURCHASED THIS CAR. *TR

Mileage: 63,653

I WAS SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. I PROCEEDED TO GO THROUGH THE LIGHT AND INTERSECTION (4-WAY VERY BUSY HIGHWAY) AND THE CAR STALLED LOCKING UP THE STEERING WHEEL, LIGHTING UP THE DASH. I MANAGED TO MANEUVER JUST ENOUGH TO GET TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE REAR ENDED ME. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED BUT THIS WAS ONE OF THE TIMES MY CHILD WAS WITH ME DURING A VERY HECTIC DAY AND IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR CRASH. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THE FUEL CUTTING OFF OR WHATEVER IS CAUSING THE CAR TO CUT OFF AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR, IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE PUT GAS IN THE CAR. *TR

Mileage: 180,000

I HAD A 2006 CHARGER (RECENTLY SOLD) WITH THE WELL DOCUMENTED STALLING ISSUES AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR DIED I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AFTER 2 ADDITIONAL STALLS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALER WHO COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM & SOLD ME A NEW GAS CAP. GAS CAP DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. FOR THE NEXT 18 MONTHS I COULD ONLY FILL THE TANK 3/4 FULL TO ENABLE ME TO USE MY CAR SAFELY. I REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND OTHER COMPONENTS IN 2012 TO THE TUNE OF $1.8K. NOW CHRYSLER/DODGE TELLS ME THAT EVEN THOUGH MY CHARGER FITS ALL THE CRITERIA FOR THE LIFETIME WARRANTY, MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE WARRANTY. I WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED NOW AND POSSIBLY NOT EVER, ALL BECAUSE OF A LETTER BEHIND THE 3 DIGIT SALES CODE. NONE OF THE DOCUMENTATION I RECEIVED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR CONTAINS THE SALES CODE SO I HAVE TO RECOURSE TO PROVE ME RIGHT AND THEM WRONG. *TR

Mileage: 75,000

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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND STALLED WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO CAPACITY. THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR OVER A SIX MONTH PERIOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING HOWEVER, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

Mileage: 48,000

WHEN I FULLY FILL AND TOP OFF MY GAS TANK THE CAR STALLS AND SPUTTERS. I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AS I HAVE SEEN PEOPLE COMPLAINING ONLINE. MY CAR IS A DODGE CHARGER RT 2006. THIS IS UNSAFE AND THERE SHOULD BE AN IMMEDIATE RECALL THE FIX THE VAPOR CANISTER AND THE GAS TANK. IT MIGHT BE EXPENSIVE BUT IF YOUR CAR IS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60 MPH AND POWER STEERING FAILS WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING IT COULD BE FATAL. FIX THIS IMMEDIATELY. *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

FILLED GAS TANK AND THEN APPROX 10 MILES INTO MY DRIVE CAR CHUG CHUGGED A COUPLE TIMES THEN STALLED. AT FIRST CAR WOULDN'T RESTART BUT WHEN I PRESSED GAS PEDAL AND TURNED KEY ON NEXT ATTEMPT IT TURNED OVER. DROVE SHORT DISTANCE AND STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AND AGAIN WHEN I FILLED MY TANK TO FULL. EVENTUALLY I FOUND THAT IF I DID NOT FILL TANK TO FULL I WAS OK. *TR

Mileage: 50,000

WHEN ENTERING AN INTERSECTION AND DURING A LEFT TURN, THE ENGINE FAILED RENDERING THE POWER STEERING INOPERABLE AND REDUCING BRAKING ABILITY. EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS CONTROLLABLE ALTHOUGH WITH SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN REQUIRED FORCE. I ALMOST WENT OFF THE ROAD AS A RESULT OF THE PARTIAL LOSS OF CONTROL BUT MANAGED TO RECOVER. SOMEONE WITH LESS STRENGTH MAY NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO RECOVER. IN THIS CASE, NON-RECOVERY WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN HITTING AN OVERPASS. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS DEFECT BUT HAS NOT CLASSIFIED IT AS A RECALL. IT IS CLASSIFIED AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND REQUIRES THE DEALER TO ORDER A FUEL TANK AND REPLACE THE ONE IN THE VEHICLE. PARTS ARE NOW RESTRICTED AND I WAS ADVISED THAT THEY MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE FOR MONTHS. THIS IS NOT A CONVENIENCE PROBLEM\, THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE MAJOR INJURY OR DEATH. *TR

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

Mileage: 85,000

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

Mileage: 85,000

IN THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF IF THE GAS IS FULL OR CLOSE TO FULL. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE R/T MODEL. DODGE HAS KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS AND ALSO THE DEALERSHIPS. AFTER FILLING THE TANK THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF IN TURN LOSING POWER STEERING BRAKES AND ENGINE POWER EVEN WHILE YOUR FOOT IS ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND DODGE REFUSES TO CALL A RECALL. *TR

2006 DODGE CHARGER THIS HAPPENED ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS. AFTER A FILL UP AT A GAS STATION, THE CAR WOULD STALL OUT, USUALLY WHEN JUST LEAVING THE GAS STATION. ALL THREE OCCASIONS, THE STALL OUT WAS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD TURNING ON TO. LUCKILY, EVERYONE WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND NO WRECK ENSUED. ACCORDING TO DODGE, THE PROBLEM IS SOME KIND OF GAS VALVE FAILED CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL. UNFORTUNATELY, DODGE SAID THE VALVE COULD NOT BE REPLACED. THE WHOLE GAS TANK HAD TO BE REPLACED. COST OF APPROXIMATELY $2500. SAFETY PROBLEMS AS I SEE IT: 1. VALVE SHOULD NOT FAIL AND CAUSE A STALL OUT. DANGER OF SERIOUS CRASH. 2. DESIGN IS DEFICIENT THAT YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE GAS TANK OUT AND PUT A NEW ONE IN TO FIX A DEFECTIVE VALVE. MILEAGE IS AN ESTIMATE FOR THE TIME OF THE LAST INCIDENT. *TR

Mileage: 170,000

THE ENGINE DIED JUST AFTER FUEL FILL-UP WHEN I WAS LEAVING THE LOT AND GETTING ONTO THE STREET. WHILE FILLING THE TANK, THE PUMP STOPPED AS IF THE TANK WAS FULL, BUT WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR AFTER FILL-UP, THE GAS GAUGE READ ONLY 3/4 FULL. WHEN THE ENGINE DIED, THERE WAS TRAFFIC BEHIND ME AND TRAFFIC AHEAD. I COULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT OR CAUSED ONE. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, AND COASTED AND RE-STARTED THE CAR. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. IT IS DANGEROUS FOR ME, FOR MY FAMILY, FOR MY WIFE WHEN SHE IS DRIVING, AS WELL AS THE MOTORISTS AROUND ME. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THE ENGINE STARTED MISS FIRING AS SOON AS I LEFT THE FORECOURT, A FEW SECONDS LATER THE CAR STALLED IN HEAVY TRAFFIC, IT STARTED AGAIN BUT CONTINUED STALLING. AS I TRIED TO GET OUT OF THE TRAFFIC IT STALLED AGAIN HALF WAY ACROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND CAME VERY CLOSE TO HAVING AN ACCIDENT WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC. EVENTUALLY IT BEGAN TO RUN OK AND I GOT HOME, WHEN I LOOKED ONLINE THERE IS A LARGE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS HAPPENING TO MANY OWNERS OF 2006 CHARGERS AND ALL WITH THE SAME STORY. THIS FAULT COULD RESULT IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I WILL SPEAK WITH MY NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALER. *TR

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. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND DEALER TECHS UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THEM. *TR

Mileage: 103,354

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WOULD STUMBLE, MISS AND START JERKING. WAS MAKING A 90 DEGREE RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN, I HAD NO POWER STEERING NOR BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS AS I ENDED UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET. CAR RESTARTED AND RAN A FEW FEET BEFORE THE STUMBLING, JERKING AND MISSING STARTED TO OCCUR ONCE AGAIN. AFTER READING UP ON THIS PROBLEM, I HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED, AS IT (THE TANK) HAD ALL OF THE SIGNS OF A BAD "ROLL-OVER" VALVE. THIS VALVE IS MOLDED INTO THE GAS TANK AND IS NON-REPLACEABLE. ONCE THE TANK WAS REPLACED, THE PROBLEM HAS GONE AWAY AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE SINCE. *TR

Mileage: 80,475

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES AT SLOW SPEEDS OR ONCE YOU MAKE A COMPLETE STOP. IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE 2012. I TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS WHICH I CHANGED THE GAS OCTANE AND STILL THE SAME RESULTS. I THOUGHT THE ISSUE WOULD PASS BUT IT HASN'T. I HAVE STALLED IN TRAFFIC BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WASN'T HIT. TOOK THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES THEY STILL CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A REASON AS TO WHY IT STALLS. I TALKED WITH A GUY ONE DAY AND HE SAID THAT HIS WIFE CAR HAS DONE IT AND NOT TO FILL UP OR REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. WHY WOULD I NOT FILL UP IF I'M TRAVELING ESPECIALLY OUT OF TOWN AND WHY REPLACE THE SAME FUEL SYSTEM THAT'S GOING TO EVENTUALLY GIVE THE SAME RESULTS. SOONER OR LATER SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. REALLY, WHO KNOWS IF IT'S GOING TO STALL EVEN IF YOU DON'T FILL UP AND STALL AT THE WRONG TIME AND SOMEONE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR POSSIBLY DEATH DUE TO SOMETHING AS FILLING UP A VEHICLE. RIDICULOUS YOUR LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER DUE TO PUTTING FUEL IN YOUR VEHICLE AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THERE'S A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT LOOKS LIKE NOTHING WILL GET DONE UNTIL SOMEONE ACTUALLY LOSE THEIR LIFE. MORE THAN LIKELY THAT'S HOW IT WORKS NOTHING IS EVER DONE UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. THE CAR STALLED TODAY 4/26/2014. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK UP, I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR STALLED OUT 7 TIMES. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK UP. THE STEERING ALSO GOES OUT. THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME STARTING BACK UP ONCE IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY ALSO. *TR

RIGHT AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION FROM FILLING UP MY CARS' GAS TANK MY ENGINE STALLED WHEN I CAME TO A STOP ON A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN BUT IT TURNED OFF ON ME AGAIN, REPEATED THE PROCESS TWICE UNTIL THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. DROVE AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD MAKING MULTIPLE STOPS TO SEE IT IF HAPPENED AGAIN IN WHICH THE ENGINE ONLY TURNED OFF ONCE MORE. *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING THE TANK. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY DEALER TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED. IN REVIEWING THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN ALREADY BEEN INVESTIGATED AND CHRYSLER AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON "CERTAIN" HEMI VEHICLES WITH A 19 GALLON FUEL TANK. INVESTIGATION PE 13-016. UPON SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH MY DEALER (DODGE OF NAPERVILLE), THEY INDICATED THAT MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER WITH A HEMI AND 19 GALLON TANK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY $1700 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THEY SAID IF IT WAS RECALLED AT A LATER DATE, I COULD APPLY FOR REIMBURSEMENT. *TR

UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH GAS, I PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SHUT OFF (STALLED) AFTER ABOUT A BLOCK OF TRAVEL. AFTER ABOUT 5 ATTEMPTS AND WAITING ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR THE CAR STARTED AND REMAINED STARTED. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK (PROPER FILLING, NOT TOPPING OFF). I CANNOT FUEL UP WITHOUT FEAR OF THE VEHICLE STALLING SOON AFTER. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER WORK MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND I LOST CONTROL. I HAD TO STRONG ARM THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO VEER ONTO THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER LANE. VEHICLES BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND HONKED THEIR HORNS TRYING TO AVOID HITTING MY VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THE EVENT I FILLED MY GAS TANK. AFTER GIVING THE VEHICLE A FEW MINUTES I TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THE VEHICLE STARTED. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OVER 35 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND STALLED THE ENTIRE RIDE HOME. THAT WAS 3 WEEKS AGO AND THE ISSUE HAS WORSENED. MY VEHICLE IS STALLING IN MID-SECTIONS. IT'S SHAKING AND ALONG WITH THE FUEL LIGHT THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY DINGS. MY CODE READS ENGINE MISFIRING AND FUEL VALVE FAILURES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE UNDER NHTSA.ORG. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AND I DO HAVE A SMALL CHILD I MUST TRANSPORT IN THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A FATALITY FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED BY THE PARTIES RESPONSIBLE. *TR

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

THIS ISSUE RELATES TO PE13-016. MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER FUEL TANK CANNOT BE FILLED TO OVER 3/4 CAPACITY. WHEN IT IS FILLED BEYOND THIS LEVEL, THE ENGINE WILL STALL, PARTICULARLY AFTER MAKING A LH TURN. I HAVE BEEN ENDURING THIS PROBLEM FOR YEARS AND HAVE BECOME FAIRLY ADEPT AT RE-STARTING MY CAR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS AND FORTUNATELY HAVE NOT BEEN INVOLVED IN ANY COLLISIONS AS A RESULT. I UNDERSTAND CHRYSLER NEGOTIATED A SETTLEMENT WITH NHTSA TO TREAT THIS AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY CONDITION BEFORE A FULL BLOWN RECALL ORDER WAS ISSUED. HOWEVER, EVEN THOUGH CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT BEING A 2006 CHARGER WITH A 5.7L ENGINE MATCHES ALL THE CRITERIA TO BE INCLUDED IN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, MY VEHICLE'S VIN IS NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIST OF EFFECTED VEHICLES AND REFUSES TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THERE IS OBVIOUS CULPABILITY AND CHRYSLER'S PART AND THEY APPEAR TO BE HIDING BEHIND AN ADMINISTRATIVE TECHNICALITY TO AVOID DOING WHAT THEY AGREED TO DO IN THEIR SETTLEMENT OF PE13-016 WITH NHTSA. *TR

I CALLED THE DEALER THEY NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND I SHOULD BRING IT IN AND IT COULD BE SEVERAL DIFFERENT THINGS WITH A DIAGNOSTIC FEE $145.00. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND WAS ASTOUNDED HOW MANY CAR OWNERS WITH SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY LARGE SAFETY ISSUE AND MY DEALER WITH MY VIN STATED THERE ARE NO RECALLS WITH YOUR PROBLEM.

I PULL OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND IT SHUTS OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. DEALER CAN'T FIND THE PROBLEM. IT'S VERY FRUSTRATING. MY MAIN CONCERN IS SAFETY AND THE REPEATED SERVICE VISITS AND COST.

I MANAGED TO GET HOME BUT THE CAR SHUT OFF SEVERAL TIMES DURING THE DRIVE. *JS

I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT HONORING THE AGREEMENT OF EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANKS AS STATED. ITS BEEN MONTHS AND CHRYSLER EITHER ISN'T GOING TO WARRANTY THE TANKS OR THEY ARE BEING VERY SELECTIVE ON WHICH TANKS THEY CONSIDER DEFECTIVE. MY VIN IS NOT SHOWING BEING COVERED BY THIS WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT MEETS ALL THE QUALIFICATIONS. THIS IS THE MESSAGE I RECEIVED FROM THE LOCAL DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REGARDING MY FUEL TANK ISSUE ON APRIL 10, 2014: IN CHECKING ON CHRYSLER'S WEBSITE, THERE IS NO LISTED EXTENDED COVERAGE REGARDING YOUR FUEL TANK PERTAINING TO YOUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE AT THIS TIME. RECALL'S ARE VIN SPECIFIC AND AFTER CHECKING YOURS ON CHRYSLERS WEBSITE IT DOES NOT SHOW ANY EXTENDED LIFETIME COVERAGE REGARDING YOUR VEHICLE IN PARTICULAR. IF YOU HAVE ANY OTHER QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS REGARDING THIS MATTER PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT CHRYSLER/DODGE AT 1-800-423-6343.

THIS HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. AFTER FILLING THE VEHICLE WITH A FULL TANK, SHORTLY AFTERWARDS CAR WILL STALL WITHOUT WARNING. SOMETIMES AS I EXIT THE FUEL STATION, OTHER TIMES IT'S 10 MINUTES LATER WHEN I'M ON THE ROAD. SEVERAL TIMES WHEN DRIVING IT'LL BUCK, STALL AND THEN START BACK UP AS IT'S COASTING. MOST OF THE TIME IT'LL STALL AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN IT STALLS, IT'LL START BACK UP, BUT THERE'S A COMPUTER-RELATED DELAY THAT PREVENTS THE CAR FROM GOING INTO GEAR FOR ABOUT 10-20 SECONDS... WHICH SEEMS LIKE AN ETERNITY WHEN YOU'RE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I'VE HAD SOME VERY CLOSE CALLS DUE TO THIS, HAVE LEARNED NOT TO TRUST THE CAR, AND HAVE NOW LEARNED NOT TO FILL IT UP FULLY. NOTE THIS CAN HAPPEN WHEN IT'S ANYTHING OVER 3/4 FULL. I'VE HAD THE CAR SINCE NEW, IT'S WELL MAINTAINED, AND NOW HAS 102K MILES. THE STALLING PROBLEM IS THE ONLY SAFELY RELATED ISSUE THAT I'VE HAD. *TR

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

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

IT CLEARED UP AND I ASSUMED IT WAS BAD GAS (WATER, PERHAPS). HAD COMPANY IN TOWN THE NEXT WEEK. SAME, FILLED TANK, GOT ON IH-35, AND THE CAR STALLED ON A FLYOVER (MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF THOSE DRIVING BEHIND ME). I LOST POWER STEERING/BRAKING AND ALMOST RAN INTO TO WALL (WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR). I FOUND OTHERS WHO'D HAD SIMILAR TROUBLE, AND KNEW I COULDN'T AFFORD THE NEW TANK. RECENTLY, I SAW THAT DODGE HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TANK; SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I GET MY MAINTENANCE DONE. THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS A FUEL TANK PROBLEM (THE SAME OTHERS HAVE HAD), BUT DENIED THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THEY SAID THE SAME.

VEHICLE IS STALLING AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. OCCURS WHEN IDLING (SUCH AS AT A STOPLIGHT) OR WHEN DECELERATING AT WHICH IT ALSO LOSES THE POWER STEERING. HIGHLY CONCERNED THIS WILL OCCUR IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. CAN RESTART THE CAR USUALLY AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS. MAY GO TO THE NEXT LIGHT/STOP AND SAME INCIDENT WILL REPEAT ITSELF. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A FEW MILES... (PRESUMABLY AS THE FUEL LEVEL GOES DOWN)... CAR BEHAVES AS NORMAL - WITHOUT ISSUE. SYMPTOMS ARE VERY MUCH LIKE A BAD TANK OF GAS. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS AND NO ISSUES ARE REPORTED. DODGE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL DEALER CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. YET, THERE IS THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION THAT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED (PE13016) - HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/CARS/PROBLEMS/DEFECT/RESULTS.CFM?ACTION_NUMBER=PE13016&SEARCHTYPE=QUICKSEARCH&SUMMARY=TRUE WHERE CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM WITH MY 5.7L ENGINE.

I HAD BEEN WAITING TO RECEIVE MY LETTER, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY BEGAN BEING MAILED OUT IN JANUARY 2014, SO I COULD HAVE THIS FIXED. I TALKED TO MY DEALERSHIP IN MARCH WHO SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY SUGGESTED CALLING CHRYSLER. I CALLED CHRYSLER ON APRIL 4, 2014, AND THEY SAID THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD JUST WAIT FOR THE LETTER.

LIKE A NUMBER OF OTHERS IN THE DATABASE WE HAD JUST FILLED THE GAS TANK AND DRIVEN A FEW MILES. AFTER STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT WE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WE JUST CLEARED THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR BUCKED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ENGINE DIED. WE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THE CAR STARTED UP, IDLED OK, AND WE PROCEEDED ON. THE NEXT TIME WE FILLED UP THE CAR THE SAME THING HAPPENED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET WE FOUND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM AS LIQUID GAS GETTING INTO THE FUEL VENT LINE WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FILLED. WE SUBSEQUENTLY GOT GAS TWICE WITHOUT TOTALLY FILLING THE TANK AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. THE INTERNET SITE WE FOUND INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE EITHER THE PURGE SOLENOID VALVE OR A VALVE INTEGRAL TO THE GAS TANK. SINCE THE PURGE SOLENOID VALVE WAS THE CHEAPER FIX WE TRIED THAT FIRST. THAT FIX WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL AS THE CAR STALLED AFTER BEING FILLED UP. WE REPLACED THE GAS TANK YESTERDAY, FILLED THE GAS TANK, AND HAD NO STALLING OR HESITATION. SO, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. HOWEVER, I COULD ENVISION A NUMBER OF SITUATIONS WHERE ONE COULD BE IN A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION IF THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. *TR

I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE BUT AFTER THE REPAIR IT CONTINUED WITH THE STALLING.

I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE13016 HAS BEEN FILED FOR THIS IDENTICAL ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING.

MY DEALER HAS BEEN HELPFUL BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT COVER ME UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY UNLESS IT APPEARED WITH MY VIN # IN THE CHRYSLER SYSTEM. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE FUELING UP NEAR A HIGHWAY AND THEN GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY.

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

Mileage: 86,845

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUELING VEHICLE TO REGULAR CAPACITY AND AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF - NO "TOPPING OFF". LEFT THE FILLING STATION AND THE CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES, EACH TIME IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION SUCH AS DECELERATING TO MAKE A TURN OR COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT. CAR DIES LOSING POWER STEERING AND BREAKS. THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE BAD GAS BUT IT HAS SINCE REPEATED EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFELY CONCERN AS THE CONDITION IS COMMON DURING THE FIRST 50 OR SO MILES OF DRIVING AFTER A FILL UP. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER THEY BLAMED THE ISSUE ON THE END USER OVERFILLING THE TANK. AS THE ONLY USER OF THE VEHICLE IT IS NEVER OVERFILLED NOR ?TOPPED OFF?. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 2 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE DUAL FUEL TANK ASSEMBLY WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 66,200 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 66,258. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, WITHIN MINUTES I WAS TURNING LEFT IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT AND AN ACCIDENT WAS BARELY AVOIDED. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IN FACT I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY TWO VEHICLES, ONE COMING AT ME AND THE OTHER BEHIND ME. I RESTARTED THE CAR, DROVE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS AND THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN, SAME STEERING DIFFICULTIES. STARTED THE CAR A THIRD TIME AND IT MOVED FORWARD WITH NO MORE STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 MORE TIME IN THE PAST 3 YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS, IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT FUEL INTO THE TANK. IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 20 MINUTES BECAUSE THE NOZZLE WOULD SHUT OFF. I COULD ONLY PUT IN VERY SMALL AMOUNTS EACH SQUEEZE OF THE HANDLE. I FIND THIS NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT ALSO QUESTION THE DESIGN OF THE WHOLE FUEL RECEIVING AND STORAGE SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ASKED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND WAS ADVISED THAT A NEW GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE INSTALLED FOR APPROXIMATELY $1,200! A NEW GAS TANK? THAT WOULD CONFIRM IN MY MIND THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED ABSOLUTELY BY A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED ASAP BEFORE THERE ARE FATALITIES LINKED TO THIS FLAW.

3/1/14....MY HUSBANDS 2006 DODGE CHARGER/HEMI, A FEW MONTHS AFTER HE PURCHASED VEHICLE, WOULD STALL SUDDENLY AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH GAS. HE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY ALWAYS TOLD HIM THERE WAS NOTHING SERIOUSLY WRONG, PERHAPS A LITTLE DIRT GOT INTO THE FUEL INJECTION AND IT SHOULD CLEAR UP ON ITS OWN. THIS KEPT HAPPENING BUT THE DEALER STILL WOULD NOT ADMIT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG. THEN WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS IT WOULD SUDDEN STALL EVEN WITHOUT FUELING AND/OR WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. HE BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER DEALER, AS THE ONE WHERE HE PURCHASED THE AUTO CLOSED, AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT TO BE A DEFECTED FUEL TANK. BY NOW, OF COURSE, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE OUT OF POCKET. THIS WAS DONE ON 1/14/14 AND IT WAS EXPENSIVE. WE DEFINITELY FEEL THAT THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER SINCE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WHILE IN WARRANTY AND EXPECTING SOME TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT. RESEARCHING THIS I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I THINK THEY WILL AGREE WITH ME. THANK YOU. *TR

WHILE DRIVING WITH CRUISE CONTROL ON THE CAR JUST STALLED OUT FOR ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS AND KICKED BACK ON. THIS HAS NOW BECOME MORE FREQUENT AND ALSO STALLS WHILE STOPPED NOW.

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

I OWN A 2006 5.7 HEMI DODGE CHARGER. DURING MY TRIP INTO WORK MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY IN PARK, SO I WENT THROUGH 4 CYCLES OF RESTARTING MY ENGINE. FINALLY I GOT THE CAR STARTED AND PROCEEDED DOWN MY STREET ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. AS I GAVE MY CAR GAS THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND I WENT THROUGH THE CYCLE AGAIN. I CALLED ONE OF THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLES AND THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS ON THE PROBLEM. AS I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE SPEED OF 70MPH THE ENGINE WAS HESITATING AGAIN, BUT DID NOT FULLY SHUTDOWN. I AM SURE DODGE HAS HEARD THIS COMPLAINT FROM MULTIPLE OWNERS AND I FEEL DODGE SHOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TRAVELING ON A BUSY ROAD. *TR

AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE IT STALLS AND SHUTS OFF. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND I HAVE HAD THE EVAP REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM TILL REMAINS.

CAR WAS RUNNING FINE, STOPPED AT A GAS STATION AND FILLED THE TANK. AFTER LEAVING THE STATION AND PULLING INTO TRAFFIC THE CAR ENGINE DIED. ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED DUE TO THE CAR STOPPING INSTEAD OF ACCELERATING. PULLED OVER TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE LANE AND TRIED TO RESTART. SECOND ATTEMPT THE CAR STARTED AND I PULLED OUT INTO THE LANE AND DROVE ABOUT A BLOCK AND THE CAR ENGINE SHUT OFF AGAIN IN AN INTERSECTION. ANOTHER CLOSE CALL WITH OTHER VEHICLES. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND PULLED INTO A PARKING LOT AND DROVE AROUND TO SEE IF THE ENGINE WOULD QUIT AGAIN, IT DID, 2 MORE TIMES. FINALLY IT STAYED RUNNING FOR AWHILE SO I DROVE IT HOME APPROX 10 MILES WITH NO PROBLEMS. THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN BAD GAS OR WATER IN THE FUEL. DROVE IT FOR A WEEK NO PROBLEMS. THE NEXT TIME I REFUELED AT A DIFFERENT GAS STATION AND IT HAPPENED ALL OVER AGAIN, SAME SYMPTOMS. THE PROBLEM IS ASSOCIATED WITH FILLING THE FUEL TANK. SEEMS TO MATCH NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016. *TR

WHEN OUT OF TOWN I FILLED UP MY DODGE CHARGER AND HEADED TO A HOTEL. ON THE ROAD MY CAR BEGAN TO STALL, BUT NOT COMPLETELY LOSE POWER. WHEN I SLOWED TO MAKE A TURN IT COMPLETELY DIED. AT THE TIME I THOUGHT I HAD GOTTEN BAD GAS, AND HAD MY CAR TOWED AND REPAIRED. HOWEVER, IT CONTINUED TO DO THE SAME THING ONLY AFTER FILLING MY TANK. I TOOK MY CAR TO FIRESTONE FOR A DIAGNOSTIC AND THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW FUEL TANK. HE TOLD ME THAT MANY PEOPLE WITH MY CAR HAVE BEEN HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I GOOGLED THE ISSUES I WAS HAVING AND SURE ENOUGH HE WAS CORRECT. I EVENTUALLY GOT THE GAS TANK REPLACED AT FIRESTONE AND THERE HASN'T BEEN ANY ISSUES SINCE. *TR

Mileage: 110,000

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

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

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

AFTER FILLING CAR WITH GAS THE ENGINE STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THE FIRST FEW MILES.THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME A FEW HUNDRED TIMES OVER THE YEARS,I HAVE ALMOST BEEN T BONED AND REAR ENDED MULTIPLE TIMES DUE TO THIS DEFECT.

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

I REFUELED THE GAS TANK WITH HIGH OCTANE GAS, AND WHILE DRIVING THE SHORT DISTANCE HOME, THE ENGINE STALLED THREE TIMES. THIS MADE BRAKING DIFFICULT AND SCARY, AS I WAS IN TRAFFIC. EACH TIME IT STARTED BACK UP, BUT LEFT ME VERY AFRAID OF WRECKING FROM POSSIBLY NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP THE CAR. *TR

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

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

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

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

MY CAR STALLED LESS THAN 1 MILE AFTER PULLING OUT OF A GAS STATION AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO RESTART BEFORE SUCCESSFULLY ABLE TO DRIVE AGAIN. I THOUGHT BAD GAS. BUT IT NOW HAPPENS EVERY TIME AFTER I FILL MY TANK FULL OF GAS. MY CAR'S RPMS WILL SPUTTER FOR THE FIRST COUPLE MILES AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. 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. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR DIAGNOSTIC CODES FOR THIS. JUST THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AND THE ENGINE DIES, POWER STEERING FAILS, AND ABS ARE NOT WORKING. *TR

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

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 CAR STALLED JUST AFTER FUELING WHEN ATTEMPTING TO CROSS A BUSY ROAD. I WAS LUCK THAT I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER A FEW TRYS AND GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC.

THE CAR WAS TOWED TO A DEALER SINCE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANY LONGER. *TR

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED AND THIS IS FLAT OUT DANGEROUS! AFTER DRIVING ALL DAY I WAS ALMOST OUT OF GAS SO I STOPPED AT ONE OF MY REGULARLY USED GAS STATIONS. AS LIKE I ALWAYS DO WHEN I GET GAS I GOT A FULL TANK AND I DO NOT OVERFILL, ONCE THE HANDLE POPS I'M DONE PUMPING. VEHICLE STARTED FINE AND I DROVE OFF THE GAS STATION WITH NO PROBLEMS. ONCE ON THE MAIN ROAD I APPROACHED MY FIRST TURN AND IN MID TURN GOING ABOUT 20MPH MY VEHICLE JUST STALLED,NO WARNING OR NOTHING IT JUST RANDOMLY STALLED. ONCE THE CAR ROLLED OFF THE MAIN STREET I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED TO START IT UP AGAIN. NO LUCK, THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. IT TOOK A FEW TRIES BUT MANAGED TO GET IT RUNNING AGAIN. TO MY SURPRISE I DIDN'T HAVE A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT SO I SAT THERE FOR A WHILE REVVING THE ENGINE AND EVEN SHUT IT OFF AND RESTARTED IT, EVERYTHING SEEMED FINE SO I WENT ON MY WAY. SHORTLY AFTER I DROVE OFF IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME I WAS JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. FROM THE GAS STATION TO MY HOME IS ABOUT 10MIN AND IN THAT SHORT TIME FRAME THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLED 4 TIMES! THIS WENT ON FOR A FEW DAYS UNTIL MY FUEL LVL WAS ABOUT 3/4 FULL? AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE ON DODGE FORUMS I WAS ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT MAY AND MOST LIKELY BE THE ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. SOME SAY ITS A COLLAPSED GAS TANK WHICH AFFECTS A CHECK VALVE IN THE GAS TANK THAT IS FOR THE EVAP SYSTEM. WHEN YOU HAVE A FULL TANK AND THE SYSTEM OPENS UP TO RELEASE GAS VAPORS BACK INTO THE ENGINE IT'S ACTUALLY SENDING RAW FUEL BACK INTO THE ENGINE WHICH IN TURN FLOODS THE VEHICLE AND CAUSES THE STALL. OF COURSE THIS PART CAN'T BE REPLACED OR FIXED SINCE THE TANK AND THOSE PARTS ARE SOLD AS ONE PIECE WHICH IS BIG $$$! MY ONLY FIX FOR THIS UNTIL THIS IS RECALLED IS I DON'T GET A FULL TANK ANYMORE. THIS IS A SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE WHICH SHOULD BE RECALLED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INTO A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL AFTER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.

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

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

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

AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK, WITHOUT OVER FILLING BY ROUNDING OFF, THE CAR WILL STALL OUT WITHIN 1/4 MILE OF RUNNING. IT TAKES TIME CRANKING ENGINE TO START, THEN WILL BUCK AND STALL OCCASIONALLY UNTIL IT IS DRIVEN AT LEAST 2-3 MILES. ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES ARE LOST AT THIS TIME AS WELL. *TR

CONTINUES TO STALL AFTER GAS FILL-UP IN TRAFFIC CAUSING OTHER CARS TO DODGE TO RIGHT OF LEFT TO AVOID COLLUSION. MAKES FOR DANGEROUS DRIVING AFTER FILL-UP.

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

AFTER FILLING UP FUEL, WENT TO ACCELERATE AND CAR STARTED SPUTTERING, THIS HAPPENED WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY. SECOND TIME WAS WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, LIGHT TURNED GREEN, PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR DIED. WAS ABLE TO COAST 2 LANES OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. CAR WOULD RESTART BUT DIE AFTER 30 SECONDS. HAD TO CAR TOWED HOME. THIRD TIME, CAR DIED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND MOVED TO A SAFE PLACE. FOURTH TIME IT DIED WHILE TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAULT IN THE CAR AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND PAID BY CHRYSLER, LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH SOMEONE REAR ENDING ME. MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH A $2000 CHARGE TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PAYING THIS, AS IT IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR ITSELF!! *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND SEEMS TO BE INCREASING IN FREQUENCY. WHEN AT IDLE, FOR EXAMPLE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR IN STOP-AND-GO TRAFFIC, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN LAST NIGHT AS WELL AS THIS MORNING AND IT HAS ME CONCERNED. I HAVE READ THAT OTHERS COMPLAIN OF THIS HAPPENING WITH A FULL TANK BUT THAT IS NOT TRUE FOR ME. I NEVER HAVE OVER-FILLED THE TANK AND EVEN WITH IT BEING A LITTLE OVER 1/2 FULL CURRENTLY AND IT HAS STALLED TWICE. I'VE FOUND THE ACTIVE INVESTIGATION (PE13016) AND WOULD LIKE TO BE ADDED TO THAT GROUP PLEASE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT ELSE I CAN PROVIDE TO HELP WITH THIS INVESTIGATION AND POSSIBLE RESOLUTIONS.

I GASSED UP, AND THEN DROVE OFF. WHEN SLOWING DOWN FOR A STOP LIGHT, MY CAR'S OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND STALLED OUT. IT RESTARTED, BUT THEN SHUT OFF AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO RE-START AND THEN TRAVEL 35 MILES EACH WAY VISITING FAMILY. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN ON DECEMBER 3RD AFTER GASSING UP, IT SHUT DOWN ON ME WHEN I GOT TO WORK IN THE MORNING, THEN STALLED AGAIN ON THE WAY HOME. THEN AGAIN YESTERDAY, DEC. 4TH 2013 WHEN I GOT TO WORK, I BACKED INTO MY PARKING SPOT, AND IT SHUT DOWN. THEN LEAVING FOR THE DAY, I WAS GOING DOWN THE PARKING GARAGE ABOUT TO EXIT, AND IT SHUT OFF BEFORE I COULD LEAVE MY BUILDING. I THEN DROVE IT AROUND THE BLOCK, AND IT SHUT DOWN AGAIN, AND I HAD A HARD TIME STARTING IT. IT FINALLY STARTED, AND I HEADED HOME, AND IT STALLED IN TRAFFIC AGAIN, NOT EVEN 10 MINUTES LATER. I WAS ABLE TO START IT, AND MAKE IT HOME. AND IT'S SITTING AT HOME TODAY, DECEMBER 5TH, 2013. *TR

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

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

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

ON 10/30/13 AT APPROX 9:30AM I REFUELED MY '06 DODGE CHARGER 5.7L HEMI RT/DAYTONA EDITION @THE GAS STATION W/89-OCTANE FUEL. 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. AFTER SITTING FOR 15MINS I HAD NO OTHER ISSUES THIS DATE. TODAY(11/25/13) I REFUELED & EXPERIENCED THE SPUTTERING, BUCKING, STALLING, ENGINE DYING, OIL LIGHT, ZERO OIL PSI, ETC W/ 10-FULL STALLS(ENGINE FAILURE EPISODES) IN LESS THAN 20-MINS. AFTER ALLOWING IT TO SIT FOR 2+ HOURS THE ENGINE DIDN'T FULLY DIE BUT DID BUCK SEVERAL TIMES ON THE DRIVE HOME. THERE WAS AT LEAST 1 ADD'L DAY BETWEEN 10/30/13 & 11/25/13 THAT I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS. ALL STALLS HAVE HAPPENED AT 35MPH OR LESS. PRIOR TO THE PROBLEMS AFTER REFUELING, I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS FILLING THE GAS TANK. I ATTEMPTED TO REFUEL THE CAR & THE AUTO PUMP SHUTOFF ENGAGED AFTER LESS THAN 1/2-GAL ENTERING THE TANK; THE AUTO PUMP SHUTOFF WOULD ENGAGE 3-5XS PER REFUEL & REQUIRED MULTIPLE READJUSTMENTS OF THE PUMP NOZZLE TO FILL MY GAS TANK. I HAVEN'T HAD THE CAR IN FOR DIAGNOSTICS B/C OF THE NEG REPORTS ON THE FORUMS INDICATING DIAGNOSTICS SHOW NO DISCERNIBLE PROBLEMS. SOUNDS LIKE TSB#1803015 TO ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T WITH A 5.7L ENGINE. MY CAR HAS STARTED TO RANDOMLY STALL MOSTLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT OR MAKING A TURN. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, IT JUST SPUTTERS, BUCKS AND THEN STALLS. THERE ARE NO CODES AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR. IT WILL RESTART IF I PUT IT IN EITHER PARK OR NEUTRAL BUT CONTINUES TO CHUG AND SPUTTER AFTER RESTARTING. IT WILL DO THIS FOR AWHILE AND THEN WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR SOME TIME. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO DO IT OR HOW LONG IT WILL LAST. IT IS VERY UNNERVING SINCE IT HAPPENS AT LIGHTS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY RESTART IT IN NEUTRAL AND NOT GET INTO A BAD SITUATION! IT'S VERY FRIGHTENING SINCE I LIVE IN A BIG CITY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!!! AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND SEEING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. A RECALL WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. *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

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

IT STATED IN OCTOBER, I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND WAS DRIVING HOME AND THE CAR STALLED OUT WHEN COMING TO A STOP. DID THINK ANYTHING OF IT AND RESTARTED MY CAR, GOT TO MY HOUSE AND I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO TURN IN IT STALLED OUT AGAIN. WAITED FOR ABOUT 15MINS AND WENT OUT AND STARTED THE CAR IN THE GARAGE STARTED THE CAR AND LET IT RUN AND AS IT RAN IT DIED WHILE IN IDLE. I WAS GLAD I WAS ONLY A MILE FROM MY HOME AND VERY LITTLE TRAFFIC AT THE TIME, WITH THE LOSE OF POWER TO THE CAR I COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I DO NOT FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY SINCE ITS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE FILLED UP MY CAR ONLY ONE MORE TIME AFTER THAT TO SEE IF IT WAS CONSISTENT, AND IT WAS. IT HAPPENS AT IDLE AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN CITY SPEEDS. I WILL NOT GET ON THE HIGHWAY FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS. I HAVE NOT DRIVE MY CAR UNLESS IT IS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. *TR

ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AT AROUND 65,000 MILES, MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T STARTED SPUTTERING AND CUTTING OFF AFTER FILLING WITH FUEL. A STRONG ODOR WOULD COME FROM UNDERNEATH. IT WILL LAST FOR ABOUT 5-10 MILES AND STOP. I HAVE NO MORE PROBLEMS WITH IT UNTIL I FILL UP AGAIN. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES WITH ME PAYING FOR DIAGNOSTICS BUT THEY CAN NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG.I HAVE EXPLAINED TO THEM IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I PUT FUEL IN IT. NOW THAT I AM SEEING THESE COMPLAINTS, I AM CONTACTING THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THIS IS MY PROBLEM. IT IS DANGEROUS DRIVING THIS CAR LIKE THIS. I HAVE TO MAKE SURE I DON'T PUT FUEL IN IT IN THE CITY BECAUSE YOU WILL GET STUCK IN TRAFFIC AND RISK GETTING IN AND ACCIDENT. WHY WANT THE COMPANY DO A RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM, IT IS VERY SERIOUS AND NEED TO BE FIX BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR KILLED.. *TR

FILLED MY CAR WITH GAS, DRIVE APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE TO A STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR DIED. RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM BUT DIED AGAIN WHEN STOPPING AT THE NEXT LIGHT, ABOUT 1 MILE FARTHER..RESTARTED AND DROVE VERY BADLY FOR THE NEXT 6 MILES...DIDN'T DO IT AGAIN UNTIL I FILLED WITH GAS. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ERROR CODE WAS CONTAMINATED OIL. I HAD RECENTLY HAD OIL CHANGED, BUT HE CHANGED IT AGAIN AND IT DIDN'T DO IT FOR A FEW MONTHS.

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

I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 4 MORE BLOCKS AT 15 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP THAT I USE. THE MECHANIC AT THE SHOP DROVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF 2 TIMES WHILE THE MECHANIC DROVE IT. VEHICLE WAS SCANNED FOR CODES. NO CODES WERE DISPLAYED. THE MECHANIC CLEANED OUT THE THROTTLE BODY.

ON 10/30/13 MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER STALLED ON A MAJOR STREET WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAD JUST FILLED THE GAS TANK AND WAS DRIVING BACK TO WORK. I HAD REACHED A SPEED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 40-50 WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND PULL INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND SHUT IT OFF. I WAS SHAKEN BY THE EVENT, AFTER COLLECTING MY THOUGHTS I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR THINKING IF I LET IT IDLE FOR A BIT IT MIGHT BE ALRIGHT. THE CAR RAN MOMENTARILY THEN SORT OF CHOKED AND JOLTED THEN DIED. I TRIED ONCE MORE BUT TO NO AVAIL THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY CALLED THE FOLLOWING DAY STATING THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND WE COULD PICK IT UP. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE ABOUT THIS SAME TIME LAST YEAR ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. STALLING SEVERAL TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN BOTH INCIDENCES. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS I HAVE JUST FILLED THE TANK USING PREMIUM FUEL. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE AWARE OF A PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM THERE ARE CURRENTLY 54 CLAIMS ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE DEFINITELY IS A PROBLEM AND I PRAY THAT SOMEONE FINDS A SOLUTION BEFORE SOME IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER. *TR

THE CAR BUCKED AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL ENTERING THE FREEWAY. THIS HAPPENED AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL AT THE GAS STATION. THIS CONDITION HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORST. WHEN I FILL UP, I CAN ONLY FILL TO APPROXIMATELY 3/4 FULL TANK IN ORDER TO PREVENT STALLING WHEN STOPPING OR ACCELERATING AROUND A TURN. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROLL OVER VALVE ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. IT STOPS WORKING OVER TIME AND ALLOWS RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM THAT IS ONLY DESIGNED TO HANDLE VAPORS. THIS CAUSES THE BUCKING, STALLING CONDITION. THIS CONDITION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. THIS VALVE IS NOT A SERVICED ITEM AND ONLY COMES WITH THE FUEL TANK. THE COST OF A NEW FUEL TANK IS ABOUT $800 + LABOR. DODGE SHOULD REPLACE THE TANK FOR A MINIMAL FEE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. PLEASE PURSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR AND PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY OF THE GAS STATION HAD APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION MAKING A LEFT TURN THE OIL LIGHT WENT ON AND VEHICLE DIED SUDDENLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET REPAIRS, WAS TOLD AT FIRST IT WAS THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. WHEN REPLACED THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON WITH A CODE READING THE OIL PRESSURE SENOR LOW VOLTAGE. NOW THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE CONNECTOR/HARNESS THAT I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER-DODGE NO LONGER MAKES THAT PART. VERY COSTLY REPAIR. *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 FUELING UP/TOPPING OFF TO THE FIRST SHUT-OFF ONLY, AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP, THE CAR HESITATED, STALLED AND FAILED TO RESTART RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN INCREASING THIS BEHAVIOR FROM RARELY TO ALMOST EVERY TIME I FUEL UP - I AM NOW AT 171,*** MILES. LAST NIGHT I FUELED UP, DROVE ABOUT 300 YARDS AND PARKED FOR THE NIGHT. THIS MORNING THE CAR FAILED TO START. AFTER ABOUT 6 ATTEMPTS, I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR WHILE CRANKING AND THE CAR STARTED. AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHERE I WAS PARKED AND ONTO THE HIGHWAY, HE CAR SPUTTERED/HESITATED 4 TIMES (KIND OF LIKE A BUCKING BRONCO) ABOUT 70 YARDS DOWN THE ROAD, WITH TRAFFIC CATCHING UP TO ME AND THEN IT SETTLED BACK TO ITS NORMAL SELF. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH TENNESSEE, I FUELED UP, PULLED INTO THE STREET AND APPROACHED A RED LIGHT AND I STOPPED AT WHICH TIME THE CAR DID ITS HESITATION AND STALLED. I TRIED TO START THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I HIT THE 4-WAY FLASHERS AND I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 25 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE STARTED AGAIN. I DON'T USE CHEAP GAS, I DON'T GAS UP AT A STATION IF I SEE A TANKER TRUCK FILLING THE TANKS (OR PULLING OUT OF THE STATION) AND I STOP FILLING AFTER THE INITIAL SHUT-OFF OF THE PUMP. ON A SIDE NOTE, SINCE DAY ONE (SEP 2005), WHEN GASSING UP, I HAVE TO REST THE PUMP HANDLE ON THE FILLER DOOR, WHICH ENDS UP PUTTING THE PUMP HANDLE UPSIDE DOWN AT ABOUT THE 10 OR 11 O'CLOCK POSITION DEPENDING ON THE PADDING OF THE HANDLE. ANY OTHER POSITION WOULD CAUSE THE PUMP HANDLE TO CLICK OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON VARIOUS CHARGER FORUMS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THE ABOVE "PROBLEMS". I AM AFRAID ONE OF THESE DAYS THIS BEHAVIOR WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT WITH SOMEBODY GETTING HURT OR POSSIBLY EVEN KILLED, EITHER IN A REAR-END COLLISION OR A T-BONE COLLISION. *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

I HAD REFUELED THE CAR AND DROVE ABOUT 10 MILES TOWARD MY HOME, AS I TURNED INTO MY NEIGHBORHOOD THE CAR STALLED AND WOULD NOT RESTART. I COASTED TO MY RESIDENCE AND STOPPED THE CAR AND TURNED THE KEY TO THE OFF POSITION. AFTER 10 MINUTES I TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT DID, THEN SURGED AND DIED AGAIN.

I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY CAR AND WAS PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROADWAY. MY STEERING AND BRAKES CUT OUT AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE STALLING. I TRY TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE ABOUT 150' DOWN THE ROAD WHEN IT STALLS AGAIN. I FINALLY PULL OVER, RESTART THE ENGINE AND LET IT BURN OFF SOME GAS BEFORE CONTINUING. EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED UP MY TANK THE PROBLEM REAPPEARS. IF I DON'T FILL UP MY TANK I HAVE NO ISSUES. *JS

AFTER FUELING VEHICLE, THE ENGINE DIED WITHIN HALF MILE ON ROAD. PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL TO START ENGINE, DROVE ANOTHER 1-2 MILES WHERE CAR STALLED AND DIED AGAIN. HAS HAPPENED AFTER FILLING UP CAR AND ONLY WITH FULL TANK, STALLING OCCURS WITHIN 0-15 MILES, THEN DOES NOT STALL. 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. I HAD NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES AND WAS NOT ABLE TO IMMEDIATELY RESTART VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC, AFTER MOMENTARY LOSS OF POWER AND FINALLY ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE WAS I ABLE TO MANEUVER OFF THE ROADWAY SAFELY. *TR

IT TOOK ME TEN MINUTES TO GET MY CAR RESTARTED. ENGINE WOULD TURN OVER BUT NOT REMAIN ON. BUT AFTER TEN MINUTES OF TRYING THIS, CAR REMAINED ON AND I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME. I THOUGHT THAT I HAD BEEN GIVEN SOME BAD GAS, UNTIL THE INCIDENT REPEATED ITSELF AGAIN AFTER A FILL UP SEVEN DAYS AGO AT A GAS STATION NEAR MY HOME. THE OWNER THERE SAYS HE HAS SEEN A SIMILAR PROBLEM WITH OTHER CHARGERS AFTER FILL UP. I THEN CALLED CHRYSLER AT 1-800-992-1997 ([XXX]?) AND CHRYSLER CLAIMED THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AND THAT I WILL HAVE TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND HAVE IT REPAIRED AT MY OWN COST, BUT IF THEY'VE NEVER HEARD OF ANY PROBLEM LIKE THIS BEFORE THEN HOW DO THEY KNOW THE DEALER WILL KNOW HOW TO REPAIR IT?

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. IT'S INCONVENIENT TO HAVE TO GUESS WHEN TO STOP THE FUEL PUMP AT GAS STATIONS AND VERY FRIGHTENING TO STALL IN TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY AT ON-RAMPS TO HIGHWAYS. *TR

I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE LIKE IT WAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WAS STALLING, THE CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC. WE STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT AND REALIZED THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, REMOVED THE KEY, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART. IT ATTEMPTED 3-4 TIMES TO RESTART WITH NO LUCK. I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO ENDURE THE GAS CAP WAS ON AND IT WAS. AFTER WAITING FOR ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AND WAS SUCCESSFUL. THIS WAS ABOUT 2 MILES AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. THIS SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CURRENTLY PENDING INVESTIGATION. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE BUT I HAVE NOT FILLED UP THE GAS TANK SINCE EITHER. *TR

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS IN THE PAST 6-8 MONTHS I HAVE EXPERIENCED ENGINE STALLING AFTER FILLING MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER UP WITH GASOLINE. 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. ACCORDING TO THE DEALERSHIP THERE WAS OIL IN THE GAS TANK AND, THE ENGINE WAS DESTROYED. ONE OF THE DIAGNOSIS CODES INDICATED THAT CYLINDER # 5 HAD MISFIRED. THIS PROBLEM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CHRYSLER DOESN'T SEEM TO CARE AT ALL. *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED THE GAS TANK AND WHEN I MADE A TURN THE ENGINE DIED WHILE I WAS TURNING. I PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR A FEW TIMES AND IT FINALLY STARTED. WHEN THE ENGINE FAILED THE POWER STEERING WAS DISABLED AND IT MADE ME ALMOST HIT ANOTHER CAR WHO HAD TO ADJUST HIS ROUTE SO I WOULD NOT HAVE A COLLISION WITH HIM. THERE IS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS AS WELL. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH THE MOTOR DYING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE CHECK OIL LIGHT COMES ON BUT NOT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE MOTOR ONLY FAILS WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK MORE THAN 3/4 FULL. I HAVE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR CUTTING OFF AFTER FILLING THE TANK COMPLETELY FOR SEVERAL YEARS. TO AVOID THIS DANGEROUS SCENARIO I HAVE HAD TO ESTIMATE THE GAS REMAINING TO ADJUST FILLING TO ABOUT 3/4 OF A TANK. I UNDERSTAND AFTER READING DODGE BLOGS THAT THERE IS A VERY EXPENSIVE FIX FOR THIS BY REPLACING THE GAS TANK. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE IN A POSITION TO ONLY FILL MY TANK 3/4 FULL TO AVOID A POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT THAT THE MANUFACTURE IS AWARE OF AFTER READING THE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS. *TR

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 OWNED THIS CAR SINCE '07 WHEN IT HAD 5K MILES ON IT. WITH A LITTLE OVER 88K MILES I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. NEEDLESS TO SAY IF THIS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC IT WOULD BE HIGHLY DANGEROUS. NOTE: THIS IS A 2006 DAYTONA R/T. EARLY MANUFACTURE DATE OF 9/22/2005. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND HESITATE. THIS HAPPENED WITHIN SEVERAL MILES OF THE GAS STATION. I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD FUEL. LATER AFTER FILLING UP AT A DIFFERENT GAS STATION THE SAME THING OCCURRED. THE THIRD OR FOURTH TIME THIS HAPPENED THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND DIED AND THE OIL SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON. THIS LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED AS I WAS HEADING FOR A BUSY HIGHWAY. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPT. WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT I WOULD NEED A NEW GAS TANK TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS ONE OF THE PARTS THAT FAILED WAS PART OF THE GAS TANK. I ASKED WHAT WOULD CAUSE THIS AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TANK IS A "WISHBONE" DESIGN THAT STRADDLES THE DRIVE SHAFT AND OVER TIME THE TANK SAGGED ON THE OUTER ENDS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM STOPS AFTER THE GAS LEVEL GOES DOWN. I NO LONGER FILL THE TANK ALL THE WAY AND THE SPUTTERING HASN'T HAPPENED AGAIN. I DON'T OVER FILL THE TANK AND I DON'T LET THE VEHICLE RUN WHILE FUELING. A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY CAR UP AT A GAS STATION I WAS ENTERING THE FREEWAY AND MY CAR SPUTTERED AND STALLED ON ME ON THE ON RAMP TO THE FREEWAY. I WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED AND THE CAR LOCKED UP AND IT WAS DIFFICULT TO STEER. FURTHER DIAGNOSES FROM THE DEALERSHIP SHOWED THAT THE EVAP VALVE WAS BAD ON THE CAR AND NEEDED A NEW GAS TANK.

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK WITH FUEL I DROVE MY CAR ABOUT 16 MILES AND IT STALLED OUT, I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT DID START BACK UP. NEXT DAY I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MY ADVISER ASKED ME IF I TOPPED OFF MY TANK AFTER FILLING UP AND I SAID YES, SO HE TOLD ME NOT TO DO THAT BECAUSE THE 06 MODEL CHARGERS HAVE A DEFECT WITH THE GAS TANKS THAT CAUSE'S THE CAR TO STALL OUT AFTER TOPPING IT OFF. I TOOK HIS ADVISE AND MY CAR DIDN'T STALL OUT FOR ABOUT 7 MONTH'S. ON 08/01/13 I FILLED UP MY GAS TANK WITHOUT TOPPING IT OFF, GOT ON THE HIGHWAY DROVE ABOUT 16 MILES AGAIN AND EXITED, AS I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN THE CAR STALLED OUT AGAIN AND IT DID THAT TWO MORE TIMES AS I WAS DRIVING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THIS TIME MY ADVISER TOLD ME TO ONLY FILL UP 3/4 OF A TANK.THE COST FOR THIS REPAIR IS RIDICULOUS AND THE CUSTOMERS WHO PAID 30K TO 45K FOR THESE CARS SHOULD NOT BE STUCK WITH THE BILL. THERE SHOULD BE A URGENT RECALL ON ALL OF THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR TURN'S INTO ROAD KILL ON THE HIGHWAY. *TR

2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T (CLOSE TO 70K MILES) FAILED TO ACCELERATE SHORTLY AFTER FUEL TANK WAS PARTIALLY FILLED (3/4 OF GAS TANK). INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN ON A 2 WAY/DOUBLE LANE CITY STREET. AS I PROCEEDED TO MAKE A LEFT TURN WHEN A CLEAR SECTION OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS PRESENT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OPPOSITE "ONCOMING" TRAFFIC AND FAILED TO ACCELERATE. IN ORDER TO ACHIEVE PROPER ACCELERATION, I HAD TO RESTART THE VEHICLE (WHILE ONCOMING TRAFFIC WAS FORCED TO STOP, ABRUPTLY). FORTUNATELY THE INCIDENT DID NOT INVOLVE ANY INJURIES NOR FATALITIES. THEREFORE THE REASON WHY THIS SAFETY COMPLAINT IS BEING SUBMITTED. NO PREVIOUS SIGNS OF THIS ISSUE WAS EVER NOTICED, NOR DID IT HAPPENED BEFORE. *TR

AFTER REFUELING OF VEHICLE AND DRIVING FROM GAS STATION VEHICLE STALLS AND HARD TO START. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET IT APPEARS THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL. NOW WHEN TRYING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE THE PUMP KICKS OFF EVERY FEW SECONDS, UNABLE TO REFUEL AT A GAS STATION AT THIS POINT. ONLY WAY TO REFUEL AT THIS POINT IS BY USING A FIVE GALLON GAS CAN SO THAT THE AIR CAN ESCAPE THE GAS TANK THROUGH THE GAS TANK FILLER TUBE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THE CHECK VALVE ON THE GAS EVAP SYSTEM IS DEFECTIVE WHICH IS INTERGRATED WITHIN THE GAS TANK. DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THEY HAVE SEEN THIS MANY TIMES AND THE CHECK VALVE CANNOT BE REPLACED. TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM A NEW GAS TANK WILL NEED TO BE INSTALLED AT A COST OF $1,350. *TR

WHEN I GOT INTO THE CAR TO LEAVE WORK I COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK. I GOT A RIDE HOME AND RETURNED THE NEXT DAY AND CALLED THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN NUMEROUS TIMES AND THAT IT COULD HAPPEN ANYWHERE. ONE OF THE MECHANICS HAD IT HAPPEN WHEN HE STOPPED FOR FUEL. THE PART COST $7 AND THE LABOR IS $175. I FEEL I WAS FORTUNATE THAT IT DID NOT HAPPEN WHILE I HAD MY INFANT GRANDKIDS WITH ME AND THAT IT HAPPENED AT WORK, SO AT LEAST I WAS NOT STRANDED SOMEWHERE ALONE. EVIDENTLY DODGE IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAID THEY USED TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE SHIFT MECHANISM AND NOW DODGE HAS COME OUT WITH A CHEAPER PART TO FIX IT. IT EVIDENTLY DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE YEAR BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN ON BRAND NEW VEHICLES AS WELL AS OLDER MODELS. *TR

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

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 BOUGHT MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T BRAND NEW IN JUNE OF 2006. I ALWAYS FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS UNTIL THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTOFF. I NEVER TOPPED OFF WITH GAS OR CONTINUED FILLING THE TANK ONCE THE PUMP WOULD AUTOMATICALLY STOP. THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM FOR 5 YEARS. LAST YEAR IN OCTOBER OF 2011 AT AROUND 73,000 MILES THE CAR WOULD STALL AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE OCCASIONALLY RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP IN LIVE TRAFFIC USUALLY AT A STOP LIGHT OR PARKING LOT DRIVEWAY. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO PARK SINCE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM. TODAY AT 75,600 MILES ON MARCH 27, 2012; I FILLED UP AS USUAL AND THE CAR ENGINE TURNED OFF IN TRAFFIC ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I READ ON CHRYSLER OWNERS' FORUMS ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PLENTY OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT. THE FIX IS A WHOLE NEW FUEL TANK WITH A BETTER FUEL VAPOR VALVE AND THE COST WOULD RUN $1300-$2000 FOR VARIOUS CAR, VAN, AND TRUCK OWNERS. THE ONLY OTHER METHOD I WAS ADVISED BY A DODGE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS NOT TO FILL THE CAR UP ALL THE WAY, PERHAPS TO 3/4 OF A TANK FULL. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ANY DRIVER WHEN A CAR ENGINE STOPS, STEERING LOCKS, AND THERE IS TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU. SOME DRIVERS WILL NOT KNOW HOW TO REACT IN THIS SITUATION. CHRYSLER SHOULD OFFER A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK INSTEAD OF CHARGING THE OWNER. *TR

THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER I FILL THE FUEL TANK AND LEAVE THE GAS STATION . USUALLY THIS OCCURS WITHIN A BLOCK OR SO AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND IT CONTINUES FOR SEVERAL MILES OF DRIVING. I DO NOT 'TOP OFF' THE TANK, AND I HAVE MINDFUL LATELY TO NOT EVEN FILL UP ALL THE WAY IF POSSIBLE. THIS ISSUE HAS CAUSED SEVERAL 'NEAR ACCIDENTS' WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS IN THE LANES OF TRAFFIC. IT CAUSES ME TO BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS AFTER FILLING UP. I DO NOT TRUST THAT I CAN ANY LONGER DRIVE WITH OTHER TRAFFIC AFTER FILLING UP, FORCING ME TO DRIVE ON SIDE ROADS/ACCESS ROADS FOR SEVERAL MINUTES TO MINIMIZE THE POSSIBILITY OF AN ACCIDENT, IN THE EVENT THE ENGINE STALLS. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VENTILATION VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK AND THE ONLY WAY TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE IS TO HAVE THE FUEL TANK REPLACED. *TR

THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED DURING THE LAST TWO FILL UPS. THE CARS ENGINE WILL REV UP AND THEN START TO RUN ROUGH AND THEN EVENTUALLY STALL. ONCE CAR IS RESTARTED IT SEEMS TO RUN FINE. THEN WILL DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE WILL REV UP AND CAR WILL JUMP FORWARD. IT MAY RUN ROUGH OR STALL YOU JUST NEVER KNOW. THIS ALL CONTINUES TO HAPPEN UNTIL THE GAS LEVEL IN THE TANK DROPS DOWN SOME AFTER DRIVING FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS OR IF THE GAS CAP IS LEFT LOOSE. WHAT IS HAPPENING IS THE EVAP VENT ON THE FUEL TANK DETERIORATES AND EVENTUALLY ALLOWS FUEL TO PASS THREW IT INTO THE PURGE SOLENOID AND THEN INTO THE INTAKE ON THE MOTOR. THIS EXTRA FUEL BEING DUMPED INTO THE MOTOR CAUSES IT TO REV UP AND JERK FORWARD WHEN THIS OCCURS. SO EVERY TIME THE EVAP PURGE SOLENOID COMES ON IT WILL SUCK GAS INTO THE MOTOR INSTEAD OF VAPORS. THIS EXTRA FUEL IS LIKE HITTING THE GAS PEDAL EACH TIME. LEAVING THE CAP LOOSE WON'T LET THE SYSTEM SEAL AND WORK AS DESIGNED, IT'S A CRUTCH TO AVOID THE PROBLEM. EACH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED WITH MY CAR I REMOVED THE PURGE SOLENOID AND POURED GAS OUT OF IT. THERE SHOULD NEVER BE GAS IN THESE PURGE SOLENOIDS. THE ONLY FIX IS A FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AT OVER $600.00 FOR THE TANK ALONE. ONE DAY I'M AFRAID I'LL RUN INTO SOMETHING OR SOMEBODY WHEN THIS ENGINE REVS UP AND JUMPS FORWARD. *KB

APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH AGO, THIS PROBLEM STARTED TO OCCUR; AFTER FUELING UP THE VEHICLE WILL START TO STALL RANDOMLY AND CONTINUOUSLY. NO MATTER WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT OR TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AFTER LOOKING THE PROBLEM UP ON THE INTERNET, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE, ALONG WITH SIMILAR MODEL VEHICLE, AS I AM. APPARENTLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURER DEFECT THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF BUT DO NOT WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM OR RECALL IT TO HAVE IT FIXED. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING ON THE INTERNET THE PROBLEM IS OCCURRING IN THE FUEL TANK, WHERE THE FUEL CONTROL VALVE ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK (ONLY SERVICED WITH THE TANK), FAILS AND ALLOWS RAW LIQUID FUEL TO ENTER THE EVAP SYSTEM. A SHORT TIME AFTER START UP, THE PCM ACTUATES THE PURGE SOLENOID TO PURGE THE VAPORS FROM THE CANISTER. SINCE THERE IS RAW FUEL IN THE CANISTER AND LINES, THE RESULT IS AN OVERLY RICH MIXTURE THAT FLOODS THE ENGINE, CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STALL. I AM TRAINED AND EMPLOYED LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA AND AM WELL TRAINED IN REACTING TO HIGH STRESS INCIDENT TO INCLUDE WITH HIGH STRESS DRIVING AND BELIEVE THIS IS WHAT HAS AVOIDED ANY CRASHES TO OCCUR WHILE I AM IN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I BELIEVE SOMEONE MAY OVER REACT OR NOT KNOW HOW TO REACT TO THIS SITUATION AND MAY BECOME INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS CRASH CAUSING SERIOUS BODILY HARM OR POSSIBLY DEATH WITHOUT A IMMEDIATE RECALL ON THIS PROBLEM. WHICH AGAIN DODGE IS WELL AWARE OF THE DESIGN/MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT. ANY ASSISTANCE IN RECALLING THIS DEFECT IMMEDIATELY WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED ON MY BEHAVE, BUT WITHOUT IMMEDIATELY RECALL COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO BECOME INJURED OR A LOSS OF LIFE.

MY CAR WAS RECALLED FOR THE COOLING FANS LETTING MY CAR OVERHEAT. THE DEALER REPLACES THE FANS AND THE ASKS IF I WANT HIM TO FIX MY OVERHEATING ISSUE. I THOUGHT THAT WAS WHY MY COOLING FANS WERE THE ISSUE. IT STOPPED OVERHEATING FOR A MONTH MAYBE AT MOST THE I HAD TO HAVE A NEW RADIATOR, T-STAT, AND WATER PUMP. WITHIN A COUPLE WEEKS ON MY WAY TO MY DOCTOR THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE DROPPED TO 140 AND DIED. I STARTED IT UP AND IT HAS A QUICK KNOCKING NOISE THAT SEEM TO TICK TOO QUICKLY TO BE A ROD PLUS THE CAR DOESN'T DIE. I TURNED IT OFF AFTER HEARING THE KNOCKING AND HAD IT TOWED HOME. NOW MY BROTHER IS LETTING ME DRIVE HIS CAR AND MINE IS A YARD ORNAMENT. *TR

CAR ENGINE STALLS AND DIE EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE FUEL TANK, DEALER IS TELLING ME SOMETHING BAD WITH THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE GAS TANK AND THEY ARE CHARGING ME $1600 FOR THE REPAIR. I FOUND ON THE INTERNET FORUMS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. :-( *TR

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

THE ENGINES' ROCKER ARMS & LIFTERS ARE TAPPING & CAUSING ENGINE TO STALL & CONSUME MORE GAS ALL BECAUSE THE CHRYSLER-DODGE DEALERSHIP HAVE BEEN REPLACING ONLY 5QTS OF OIL RATHER THAN THE 6QTS THE MANUAL INSTRUCTS. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY THE DEALER TO CORRECT THIS MAINTENANCE ISSUE. *TR

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES TO HAVE ISSUES FIXED. EACH TIME I GOT THE CAR BACK, IT WAS WORSE. I HAD 13 ISSUES ORIGINALLY WITH THE CAR. I ENDED UP SUING, AND GOT A VERY SMALL SETTLEMENT- DODGE REFUSED TO COOPERATE. I STILL HAVE EACH AND EVERY PROBLEM, AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. MY CAR DIES WHILE IN REVERSE, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTION CONSTANTLY, THE WINDOW PANEL REMAINS BROKEN DUE TO THEIR INEPT WORK, THE RADIO CUTS OFF, THE DASH LIGHTS DIE @ NIGHT, ETC. I WOULD TRULY APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD ACTUALLY HELP ME. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I LOVE MY CAR DEARLY, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THE DATE I PUT AS DATE OF INCIDENT IS WHEN THIS ALL STARTED. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER IN OCTOBER 06. SINCE MY PURCHASE I HAVE MAINTAINED MY CAR REGULARLY. I WAS DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY WITH MY WIFE WHEN SHE SPOTTED SMOKE COMING FOR THE FRONT HOOD. AS I STARTED TO PULL OVER FLAMES WERE COMING OUT. SHE YELLED FOR US TO RUN FROM THE CAR AND AS WE DID THE GLASS BURST OUT AND THE CAR WAS ENGULFED IN FLAMES. MY CAR INSURANCE COMPANY DID FORENSIC TESTING AND SAYS IT WAS STARTED BY SOMETHING IGNITING (FLUID). CHRYSLER CLAIMS THERE WAS NO MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND NOW I AM OUT OF A CAR AND MONEY. CHRYSLER PRETTY MUCH TOLD ME I AM SCREWED AND THEY WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT ME GETTING A NEW CAR OR REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE TWO YEARS I PAID INTO THE CAR. THEY DEFINITELY DO NOT TO CARE AND SENT A FORM LETTER INSTEAD OF ANYONE PERSONALLY CALLING. WE COULD HAVE DIED OR BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED AND WHEN I CALLED CORPORATE THEY SAID THE INVESTIGATORS DECISION WAS FINAL. SO LIKE I SAID I AM SCREWED BIG TIME. *TR

DURING NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, THE FUEL TANK WAS PUNCTURED AND A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF GAS STREAMED OUT OF THE TANK. TO THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGER'S KNOWLEDGE, NO FOREIGN OBJECTS WERE STRUCK BY THE VEHICLE. DURING THE SUBSEQUENT REPAIR BY THE DEALER, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE GAS TANK IS MADE OUT OF PLASTIC, AND THE CORNER THAT WAS PUNCTURED WAS NOT PROTECTED BY AN ADDITIONAL SHIELDING DEVICE. *NM

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
