FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
PE13-016, THIS ISSUE APPLIES TO MY CHARGER R/T AND ANYTIME I FILL UP MY GAS TANK THE CAR WILL STALL AT ANY SPEED. I'VE HAD THIS HAPPEN AT ANY SPEED FROM THE LOW SPEEDS MENTIONED TO AS HIGH AS 45 WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING AND I HAD SLOSHED THE GAS TANK. ANYWAY, I HAVE TALKED WITH MULTIPLE DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE ALL TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT AND THAT THEY HAVE NOTHING IN THEIR SYSTEM THAT WOULD SHOW THEM MY CAR WAS AFFECTED. I FEEL THAT THIS IS CRAZY AND NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED. I HAVE A CAR THAT WILL KILL ITSELF AFTER ANY FILLUP AND I CAN'T GET THE MANUFACTURER TO OWN UP TO WHAT THEY PROMISED. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
VEHICLE STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY STREET WHILE DRIVING DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. LUCKILY NO ONE HIT ME (ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR). I HAD JUST FILLED UP THE GAS TANK (DID NOT OVERFILL--GAS IS WAY TOO EXPENSIVE FOR THAT). HAD IT TOWED AND THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK, O-RING UNIT, VAPOR CANISTER, SOLENOID-PROPORTIONAL PURGE AND SOME MISC. PINS ETC. COST ME $1900.00 OUT OF MY POCKET WITH THE DEALER GIVING ME A 10% SERVICE DISCOUNT. THEY ALSO INFORMED ME THAT WITH THE VAPOR CANISTER FAILING, IF YOU WERE IN A ROLLOVER ACCIDENT THE CAR MOST LIKELY WOULD CATCH FIRE WHICH WOULD DEFINITELY DECREASE YOUR CHANCES OF SURVIVING. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ANYONE THAT IS DRIVING OR RIDING IN THE VEHICLE EVEN IF IT ONLY SHUTS OFF. YOU CAN NOT BRAKE OR STEER WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF SO GETTING OUT OF HARMS WAY IS A CHALLENGE WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. I SEE THAT THERE ARE A HUGE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE PUT OUT AS A SERVICE RECALL. NOT AN ALERT OR BULLETIN BUT AN ACTUAL RECALL. I GUESS WHEN PEOPLE START LOSING THEIR LIVES AND THE LIVES OF THEIR LOVED ONES THAT ARE PASSENGERS THEN MAYBE DODGE WILL DO THE RIGHT THING. I SEE THAT THERE IS SOME INFO OUT THERE THAT DODGE WAS EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK/SYSTEM AND LETTERS WERE TO BE SENT TO THE CAR OWNERS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANYTHING I HONESTLY BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED. DODGE USED TO HAVE "SAFETY FIRST" ON THEIR WEBSITE. ODD, I DON'T SEE THAT ANYMORE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
FILLED MY TANK AT GAS STATION, GOT BACK ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR STALLED (AT OVER 60MPH). CAR WOULD RESTART W/OUT PROBLEM, BUT IT HAPPENED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. IT CLEARED UP AND I ASSUMED IT WAS BAD GAS (WATER, PERHAPS). HAD COMPANY IN TOWN THE NEXT WEEK. SAME, FILLED TANK, GOT ON IH-35, AND THE CAR STALLED ON A FLYOVER (MUCH TO THE DISMAY OF THOSE DRIVING BEHIND ME). I LOST POWER STEERING/BRAKING AND ALMOST RAN INTO TO WALL (WITH 3 OTHER PEOPLE IN THE CAR). I FOUND OTHERS WHO'D HAD SIMILAR TROUBLE, AND KNEW I COULDN'T AFFORD THE NEW TANK. RECENTLY, I SAW THAT DODGE HAD EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE TANK; SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I GET MY MAINTENANCE DONE. THEY CONFIRMED IT WAS A FUEL TANK PROBLEM (THE SAME OTHERS HAVE HAD), BUT DENIED THAT THE WARRANTY WOULD COVER IT. I CALLED DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE, AND THEY SAID THE SAME. I KNOW OTHERS HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN AT LOW SPEEDS, BUT BOTH TIMES IT OCCURRED GOING OVER 60MPH FOR ME, AND I FEEL IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER REFUELING, CAR STALLS NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. I ONLY HAVE 50,700 MILES ON THE CAR. I UNDERSTAND THE NHTSA HAS STUDIED THE ISSUE, PE13-016 AND REQUIRED CHRYSLER TO EXTEND THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY INDEFINITELY. I HAVE THE CAR AT CERRITOS DODGE IN CERRITOS, CA AND THEY INDICATE THAT THERE IS NO EXTENSION AND WANT $2200.00 TO REPAIR. CHRYSLER DOESN'T ADMIT TO ANY EXTENSION AS WELL. PLEASE HELP! THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN VEHICLE GETS FILLED UP WITH FUEL, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND ALSO QUIT RUNNING AT IDLE AND WHILE ACCELERATING. CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING ABOUT THE PROBLEM. SEARCHED ONLINE AND FOUND THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION HAS CLOSED AN INVESTIGATION ON THIS PROBLEM. SUPPOSEDLY CHRYSLER IS FIXING IT, BUT LIKE I PREVIOUSLY WROTE, THE LAWTON CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE DEALERSHIP HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHAT IS GOING ON. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
VEHICLE IS STALLING AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. OCCURS WHEN IDLING (SUCH AS AT A STOPLIGHT) OR WHEN DECELERATING AT WHICH IT ALSO LOSES THE POWER STEERING. HIGHLY CONCERNED THIS WILL OCCUR IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. CAN RESTART THE CAR USUALLY AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS. MAY GO TO THE NEXT LIGHT/STOP AND SAME INCIDENT WILL REPEAT ITSELF. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A FEW MILES... (PRESUMABLY AS THE FUEL LEVEL GOES DOWN)... CAR BEHAVES AS NORMAL - WITHOUT ISSUE. SYMPTOMS ARE VERY MUCH LIKE A BAD TANK OF GAS. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS AND NO ISSUES ARE REPORTED. DODGE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL DEALER CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. YET, THERE IS THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION THAT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED (PE13016) - HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/CARS/PROBLEMS/DEFECT/RESULTS.CFM?ACTION_NUMBER=PE13016&SEARCHTYPE=QUICKSEARCH&SUMMARY=TRUE WHERE CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM WITH MY 5.7L ENGINE. IS FRUSTRATING AS CAN TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SHORTLY AFTER THE PROBLEM (WHEN IT IS OCCURRING) AND THEY INSPECT TO FIND EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE IN FIND WORKING ORDER. YET, I CERTAINLY KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS. :-( *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I CONTINUE TO HAVE A PROBLEM WITH MY CAR STALLING AFTER REFUELING. I KNOW THAT NHTSA HAS BEEN INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE FOR A WHILE (PE-13-016) AND THAT THEY CLOSED THIS INVESTIGATION ON FEB 10, 2014, AFTER CHRYSLER AGREED TO PROVIDE A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALVE ON FUEL TANK. I HAD BEEN WAITING TO RECEIVE MY LETTER, WHICH SUPPOSEDLY BEGAN BEING MAILED OUT IN JANUARY 2014, SO I COULD HAVE THIS FIXED. I TALKED TO MY DEALERSHIP IN MARCH WHO SAID THEY KNEW NOTHING OF THE PROBLEM AND THEY SUGGESTED CALLING CHRYSLER. I CALLED CHRYSLER ON APRIL 4, 2014, AND THEY SAID THEY ARE STILL INVESTIGATING THE PROBLEM AND THAT I SHOULD JUST WAIT FOR THE LETTER. I HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH MY CAR STALLING OUT FOR NEARLY A YEAR AND WHEN I THOUGHT IT WAS NEARLY OVER, I WAS TOLD TO WAIT SOME MORE? WHY ISN'T CHRYSLER HONORING THEIR AGREEMENT WITH NHTSA? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON THE LAST 2 OCCASIONS OF FILLING OUR VEHICLE WITH GAS THE CAR WILL PURGE AND STALL, LOOSING ALL POWER. I HAPPENS FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN GOES AWAY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANY CODES, THEY ALSO TOLD US DO NOT FILL THE TANK. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. I HAVE NOT BEEN FILLING THE TANK AND SO FAR SO GOOD BUT NOT THE ANSWER. ITS VERY SCARY TO JUST STALL AFTER FILLING YOUR CAR WITH GAS AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. I NEED HELP.. *TR

STEERING
HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE BEEN NOTICING CLUNKING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHAKING PROBLEMS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER INSPECTED CAR AND FOUND LEFT AND RIGHT BALL JOINTS CRACKED AND BROKEN POWER STEERING LINE, ALONG WITH A BROKEN TIE ROD ON THE LEFT SIDE. I FIND THIS VERY DIFFICULT TO DIGEST AS THE CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 25,000 MILES ON IT, IT IS NEVER DRIVEN IN SNOW, AND IS CONSTANTLY IN MY GARAGE. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN ON AVERAGE OF 4,000 MILES A YEAR, AND MAINLY ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN IT IS DRIVEN. NOW I AM FACING A 1500.00 REPAIR BILL TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND OTHERS HAVE NEEDED TO DO THIS SAME REPAIR NUMEROUS TIMES ON THEIR VEHICLES AS WELL. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD STEP FORWARD AND ADMIT THAT THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE. THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY LUBRICATION ZERKS TO HELP PREVENT FUTURE ISSUES WITH THIS. NOW THAT SPRING IS HERE I WANTED TO GET THE CAR READY FOR SUMMER, NOW WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT GETS FIXED, BUT ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE FOUND, I CAN EXPECT TO HAVE THIS DONE AGAIN IN ANOTHER 25,000 MILES. I DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND ENGINE STOPS RUNNING AFTER FILLING WITH GAS. REPORTED PROBLEM TO DODGE AFTER SEVERAL INSTANCES, ONCE GOING 50 MPH WHEN CAR COMPLETELY DIED WHILE IN TRAFFIC JUST MISSING GETTING REARENDED. DODGE STATES THERE IS A FUEL TANK PROBLEM AND A REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED AT A COST OF 1500.00 THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS LISTED ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE TO FILL MY CAR TO ONLY THE 3/4 FULL MARK TO KEEP IT RUNNING WITHOUT INCIDENT. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
I WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION AFTER I FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GASOLINE AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND TURNED ON THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, DROVE TO THE STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THE CAR KEPT STALLING EVERY TIME I WOULD STOP FOR THE NEXT THREE MILES. THE CAR RAN FINE UNTIL I TOPPED OFF THE FUEL TANK AND THEN THE CAR BEGAN STALLING AGAIN. THE CAR STALLS AT EVERY STOP FOR THE NEXT TWO TO THREE MILES EVERY TIME THAT I TOP OFF THE FUEL TANK. I CANNOT AND HAVE NOT TOPPED OFF THE FUEL SINCE THEN FOR FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL STALL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR
