AFTER FILLING UP GAS ON MY DODGE CHARGER 2006 RT, THE ENGINE STALLS AND STOP WHILE AT THE TRAFFIC STOP. TRIED TO RE-START THE ENGINE A FEW TIMES BUT WON'T START. WAITED 2 MINUTES AND TRIED TO RE-START THE ENGINE IT DID START AND WAS ABLE TO CROSS TO TRAFFIC LIGHT AND AVOID HOLDING THE OTHER CARS BEHIND ME. BUT AFTER A FEW AT LEAST A HUNDRED FEET, THE ENGINE STARTS STALL AGAIN THIS TIME HAVE TO ROLL MY CAR INTO THE SIDE ROAD. TRIED A FEW TIMES TO RESTART, ENGINE BUT DID NOT START.

I HAVE RESEARCH THIS TYPE OF ENGINE STALL AND IT SEEMS THIS IS COMMON TO MY CAR MODEL/YEAR.

ENGINE
2006 DODGE CHARGER RT CAR SHUTS OFF WITH NO WARNING SHUTS OFF AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. WHEN I'M DRIVING UNDER 60 MPH IT STALLS AS IF IT'S GOING TO STOP AND THE ELECTRICAL LIGHT POPS ON AND GOES OFF BUT IT DOES NOT SHUT OFF. WHEN I AM DRIVING UNDER 40 IT WILL SHUT OFF AND I HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES AND PUT IT IN PARK OR NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT. BUT THE BEST PART OF THIS WHICH IT'S REALLY NOT A BEST PART THAT IT STARTS RITE UP AFTER EACH ENCOUNTER. THERE IS NO ENGINE LIGHT THROUGH OUT THIS ISSUE SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND OF CODE IT'S GOING TO READ. I TOOK IT TO NAPLETON DODGE IN LANSING, IL YESTERDAY AND TOLD THEM THE ISSUE AND SHOWED THEM THE EDMUNDS REPORT FOR THE EXTENDED FUEL TANK WARRANTY BUT OFF COURSE THEY WANT TO TRY TO GET SOME KIND OF MONEY FROM ME ($125) FOR A DIAGNOSTICS WHICH I'M TELLING THEM AND SHOWING THEM THE REPORT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING
AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, CHIMES WHEN OFF IN THE CAR THEN THE CAR JUST COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. I RESTARTED AND CAR DROVE FINE. THE EXACT SET OF INCIDENTS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES A DAY OVER A COURSE OF A FEW MONTHS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A LOCAL DODGE DEALER. AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS GETTING, TCM, ECM, MAJOR TUNE-UP, SPARK PLUG COILS, SENSORS REPAIRED THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I HAVE HAD OVER THREE DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED EVEN MORE FREQUENTLY AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. DRIVING LIKE THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE. THIS CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. AFTER READING SEVERAL ONLINE THREADS IT APPEARS THAT OTHER 06 CHARGER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND IT TENDS TO POINT TO A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. I NEED THIS MATTER RESOLVED. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY CAR WAS STUCK IN PARK.UPON REVIEWING MY PROBLEMS ONLINE I REALIZED THERE IS A KNOWN RECALL FOR THIS MAKE/MODEL OF MY CAR :CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. ADVISED TO CALL CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING. MY CAR WAS REPAIRED BY THE DEALERSHIP AT MY EXPENSE FOR THE EXACT RECALL WORK. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. CHRYSLER NEED TO EXPAND THE RECALL TO INCLUDED ALL DODGE CHARGERS FROM 2005-2007 NOT "SOME" MODELS.

I HAVE ORDERED THE RECALLED PART FROM THE DEALERSHIP ON 20 JULY. I RETURNED A CALL ON 03 AUG. AND WAS TOLD THAT ONLY A FEW PARTS WERE BEING SENT TO THE DEALERSHIPS PER MONTH. IT IS NOW 17 AUG AND I HAVE BEEN ON YOUR HOTLINE FOR AN HOUR AND A HALF. I LIVE IN A HIGH HUMIDITY AREA, AND I AM VERY CONCERNED THAT THERE IS NO REGARD TO THE SAFETY ISSUES OF THIS VEHICLE. PERHAPS THE MEDIA WOULD LIKE THE INFORMATION FOR ANOTHER STORY ON HOW THE MANUFACTURERS ARE FAILING THE PUBLIC.

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

ENGINE
I HAVE HAD MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND HAVE KEPT ALL THE OIL CHANGES AND FLUID FILLED. I HAD NO ISSUE OTHER THAN A BAD FUEL TANK OUT OF THE CAR, UNTIL I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY HEADING TO WORK WHEN I HEARD WHAT SOUNDED LIKE A POP. THEN MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. I BARELY MADE IT TO WORK WHERE I HAD TO GET IT TOWED. I LATER FOUND OUT IT HAD DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND THAT DODGE WOULD CHARGE ME OVER $8000 TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I WILL INCLUDE A LINK THAT SHOWS THIS IS A MANUFACTURING ISSUE. THE BLOCK AND VALVE SEAT WAS MADE FROM TWO DIFFERENT METALS THAT EXPAND AT DIFFERENT RATES AND LENGTHS. I HAVE TRIED CONTACTING DODGE TO NO LUCK. THIS SHOULD BE SERIOUSLY INVESTIGATED BECAUSE IT IS COSTING DODGE CONSUMERS THOUSANDS WHEN IT WAS AVOIDABLE BY PINNING THE VALVE SEATS OR USING THE SAME METALS. DODGE HAS WENT THRU AND PINNED THE VALVE SEATS IN MOTORS THEIR MANUFACTURING, SO THEY KNOW IT'S AN ISSUE BUT ARE NOT HELPING THE CONSUMERS WHO PAID FOR THIS PRODUCT PRIOR TO THEM FIXING IT. [XXX] IS MY VIN AND THE WEBSITE THAT LIST SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS IS HTTP://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/DODGE/CHARGER/2006/ENGINE/PREMATURE_ENGINE_FAILURE.SHTML . I AM JUST ASKING SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE
WE HAD NO WARNING (E.I. ENGINE LIGHT NOT LIT, NOT RUNNING HOT, NO STRANGE SOUNDS, ETC.). THE CAR DIED SO WHEN IT WOULDN'T START UP AFTER TRYING FOR A SECOND TIME, WE TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AFTER HOURS. THE NEXT MORNING WE GET A CALL SAYING THAT THE VALVE SEAT GUIDE FAILED AND AND THE PISTONS WEREN'T GETTING ANY OIL IN THE 4TH CYLINDER OF THE MOTOR. SO THE MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND IT'S GONNA $8000. IT'S BEEN SITTING AT THE DEALERSHIP GOING ON THREE MONTHS. WITH ALL THESE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME THING, DODGE SHOULD BE DOING SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE DODGE! I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THIS EVERY SINCE MY CAR MALFUNCTIONED. DODGE/DIAMLER CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE SUED! I AM WAITING FOR A CLASS ACTION LAW-SUIT TO BE ANNOUNCED-
