FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
WHEN FUELING THE VEHICLE THE GAS PUMP CLICKS OFF AS IF ITS FULL AND I HAVE TO SQUEEZE THE PUMP HANDLE AGAIN IT PUTS OUT ABOUT 1/2 GALLON AT A TIME, I SPEND ALMOST 30 MINUTES TO FILL MY TANK, WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY KNEW EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, AND TOLD ME TO BE CAREFUL CAUSE IT CAN SPIT THE GAS BACK AT YOU. I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER SXT WITH 78,000 MILES. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL CAUSE, CAUSE A LOT OF PEOPLE WAS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. ITS CAUSED BY THE FUEL FILLER NECK AS PER DEALER

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO DIE RANDOMLY. THIS TIME, THE VEHICLE DIED WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE ONTO THE INTERSTATE (FROM THE RAMP). THIS TIME WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND SAID NOTHING ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT IT COULD BE RELATED TO THE FUEL TANK VALVE. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC BELIEVES IT IS THE FUEL TANK VALVE AND RECOMMENDED WE CONTACT DODGE BECAUSE THE CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE TSB AND THE TANK BE REPLACED...UPDATED 08/25/15*BF THE CONSUMER STATED THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER EACH FILL UP OF THE GAS TANK.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2006 CHARGER RT BEGINS TO STALL OUT EVERY TIME AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. IN FACT, ANYTHING PAST 2/3 OF A TANK WILL CAUSE THIS ISSUE. THE STALL GENERALLY HAPPENS WHILE AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, WHEN THE RPMS ARE LOW. THE ONLY WAY TO CONTINUE IS TO TURN THE CAR COMPLETELY OFF AND RESTART IT WHILE PUMPING THE GAS. IF I AM ABLE TO GET TO THE HIGHWAY AND UP TO SPEED BEFORE STALLING OUT THE ENGINE SPUTTERS AND THE RPMS DIP A COUPLE OF TIMES BEFORE STABILIZING. THIS ONLY HAPPENS ~3-10 MINUTES AFTER PUTTING GAS IN THE TANK. I DRIVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT. IT JUST RECENTLY PASSED THE 100K MILEAGE AFTER A ~600 MILE TRIP HOME TO SEE THE FAMILY. I'VE HAD THIS PROBLEM OCCUR MANY TIMES OVER THE PAST 1-2 YEARS AND I AM BECOMING WORRIED THAT THIS MAY BE A COMMON ISSUE. AFTER A BIT OF RESEARCH, I'VE FOUND THAT THIS IS ACTUALLY PRETTY COMMON WITH 2006 CHARGERS AND FEEL THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT DODGE AUGHT TO ADDRESS. PROBLEMS WITH THE GAS TANK AND EVAP SYSTEM IN THIS VEHICLE APPEAR TO BE A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE AND CAN RESULT IN VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. THIS HAS BEEN A MINOR INCONVENIENCE AS OF YET BUT I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS COULD CAUSE VERY SERIOUS PROBLEMS IN THE FUTURE, IF THEY HAVEN'T ALREADY.

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