FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

STEERING, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAVE HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY CAR STALLING AND IT SEEMS THERE ARE MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THE FACT THAT THIS IS NOT BEING LOOKED AT AS A SAFETY CONCERN IS BEYOND ME. JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T REACH 90MPH WHEN IT STALLS DOES NOT MEAN ACCIDENTS WILL NOT OCCUR. IF I AM TURNING INTO A STREET AND TRAFFIC IS COMING IN MY DIRECTION AND I STALL SHOULD I JUST "RESTART" MY VEHICLE IN HOPES THAT SOMEONE DOESN'T T-BONE ME? SOUNDS LIKE A BAD PLOT TO THE START OF A MOVIE. JUST DO THE RIGHT THING HERE AND FIX THIS WORLD WIDE ISSUE AND LET US MOVE ON WITH OUR MUSCULAR CARS! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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
