ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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. THANKS! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
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

ENGINE
MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. USUALLY WHEN I FILL THE GAS TANK. THE CAR JUST STOPS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I CAN RESTART THE CAR BUT IT WILL HAPPEN ATLEAST 5 OR 6 MORE TIMES AFTER. I USE THE BOOK RECOMMENDED LEVEL OF GAS AT TWO DIFFERENT REPUTABLE GAS STATIONS, WITH THE THOUGHT THAT IT WAS BAD GAS. I DROPPED OFF MY CAR TO MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND IT COST ME $130.35 FOR THEM TO JUST LOOK FOR THE PROBLEM. THEY SAID THAT IT IS THE "ROLL OVER VALVE" AND IT WOULD COST OVER $1200.00 TO FIX! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
5.7L HEMI ENGINE. FOR THE PAST 2 YRS, ENGINE WILL STALL AFTER FILLING-UP THE GAS TANK. THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN AFTER EVERY FILL-UP, BUT OCCURS AT RANDOM FILL-UP INTERVALS. THE ENGINE WILL STALL MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL IT'S BURNED OFF APPROXIMATELY 1 GALLON OF GAS, THEN OPERATES NORMALLY. STALLING MOSTLY OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE COMES TO A STOP. HOWEVER, I'VE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHEN THE STALL OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
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

MY CAR HAS STALLED 3 SEPARATE TIMES RIGHT AFTER I HAVE RE-FUELED. WHEN DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION AND ONTO THE STREET IT HAS SPUTTERED AND THEN TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. MY VEHICLE WILL CONSTANTLY TURN OFF MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE ONCE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED, I AM LUCKY I WAS NOT STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAVING THIS HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING. *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

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE OIL WARNING LAMP. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

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

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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
