FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, TURNING LEFT, AND MY VEHICLE JUST TURNS OFF. VERY UNSAFE FOR A CAR TO TURN OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. LUCKILY THIS DIDN'T CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. 2 OTHER INSTANCES, I WAS TURNING OUT ONTO A BUSY STREET, PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION AFTER FILLING UP. IT MAKES ME NERVOUS TO PUT GAS IN THE CAR AND WONDERING WHEN THE CAR WILL DIE OUT. THE SHUTTING DOWN OF THE VEHICLE HAPPENS AFTER EVERYTIME I PUT GAS INTO IT. ITS NOT AN ISSUE OF OVERFILLING THE TANK BECAUSE I,VE BEEN FILLING UP A VEHICLE GAS TANK FOR OVER 20 YEARS AND HAVE NEVER HAD AN ISSUE. EVEN IF I DON'T FILL IT UP COMPLETELY, THIS OCCURS. I HAVE HEARD FROM MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SAME YEAR CHARGERS. OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME ISSUE HAVE SAID ITS THE VAPOR PURGE VALVE ON TOP OF THE GAS TANK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FIILLING THE GAS TANK OF THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T THE CHARGER HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION. THE CHARGER WOULD RESTART. THIS IS A VEHICLE SAFETY ISSUE. THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T HAS ALSO STALLED OUT ON HIGHWAY ON RAMPS A COUPLE OF TIMES. THE CHARGER WOULD RESTART BUT THE CARS BEHIND WERE NOT VERY HAPPY. THIS IS ALSO TRAFFIC SAFETY PROBLEM.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FUELING THE CAR, IT STALLS OUT WHEN I LEAVE THE GAS STATION. IT HAS STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, DURING A TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED. AFTER STALLING, IT STARTS BACK UP AND EITHER STALLS AGAIN OR STARTS TO DO A HARD STUTTER/BUCKING.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN MOTION, THE DASH LIGHTS BLINK AND POWER IS LOST. SOMETIMES IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT MOVE. ON OTHER DAYS IT RUNS JUST FINE. THERE ARE NO CODES THAT FLASH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON EXCEPT FOR WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. A SIMPLE SEARCH WILL VERIFY WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT. IT IS NOT THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS WHILE STILL AND HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION. A WHILE BACK I WAS TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND IT HAPPEDEN AT THAT POINT. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE SINCE ABOUT 50,000 MILES AND WE ARE AT 80,000 NOW.. IT STAYS PARKED ALOT FOR BEING 10 YRS OLD.

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

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK MY CAR STALLED ON THE FREEWAY. THE NEXT TIME I FILLED MY TANK MY CAR STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE VAPOR PURGE VALVE. I CAN ONLY FILL MY TANK PARTIALLY OR I STALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AT 105000 MILES I NOTICED THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AFTER FILLING IT THE CAR REPEATEDLY STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC, AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHILE GOING AROUND A TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS. ONCE THE TANK WAS AROUND 3/4 FULL I NOTICED IT STOPPING. IT RESTARTED, BUT CAUSED ME TO STOP IN TRAFFIC AND WAIT A SECOND TO PUT IN N OR P TO RESTART AND THEN BACK INTO GEAR. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD AND SURPRISED IT HASN'T ELEVATED TO A RECALL. I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD FUEL - THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, 2 FILL UPS LATER IT STILL OCCURRED LEAVING NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR ME TO TROUBLE SHOOT. THAT LEAD ME TO THE INTERNET AND I FOUND INVESTIGATION PE 13-016 WHICH SOUNDS EXACTLY WHAT MY ISSUE IS. I CALLED THE DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE RECALLED AIRBAG FIXED. I ASKED THEM TO REMEDY THIS CONCURRENTLY BUT THEY ACTED REAL STUPID ON THE PHONE - I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE PARTS WERE ON HAND TO FIX IT AT THIS TIME. I HOPE THEY HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND DON'T REMEMBER GETTING THE LETTER SENT TO ME ON THIS MATTER. I AM CURIOUS FROM THIS REPAIR WHAT THEY WILL NOT COVER AND IF THEY WILL OVERCHARGE FOR OTHER ITEMS THAT "THEY FIND". I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THEY ARE COVERING UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY?
