ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
11/16/13 I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY GAS TANK ON I95 AT LADYSMITH, VA AND WAS COMING DOWN THE RAMP NORTHBOUND WHEN THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STALLED JUST AS I MERGED ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I PULLED OVER AFTER GETTING BLASTED BY TRUCKERS HORNS FOR MAKING THEM SLAM ON BRAKES. AFTER A COUPLE ATTEMPTS IT RESTARTED AND I TOOK OFF AGAIN, ONLY TO HAVE IT STALL AGAIN. IT DID THIS THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED AND DID NOT STALL. SINCE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, I FIGURED I JUST GOT SOME BAD GAS. THEN IT HAPPENED THE NEXT TIME I FILLED UP. AND THE NEXT. AND THE NEXT. I CHECKED ON-LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS WHO HAD EXPERIENCED THIS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAS BEING FILLED TO THE BRIM THAT CAUSED IT. I TRIED FILLING UP LESS THAN A FULL TANK AND THIS DID SEEM TO WORK. ONLY PROBLEM IS I NOW WANT TO SELL OR TRADE IN THE CAR AND I DON'T FEEL RIGHT PASSING THIS PROBLEM ALONG TO SOMEONE ELSE. I SAW THE ARTICLE ABOUT NHTSA FORCING CHRYSLER TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON 2006 HEMI CHARGERS AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR $1100. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER SET UP A PROGRAM FOR THESE REPLACEMENTS? IS THERE A LIST OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED BY THE NEW EXTENDED WARRANTY? CAN I PLEASE SEE IF MY CAR IS ON IT AND IF NOT WHY NOT? *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, STEERING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUELING VEHICLE TO REGULAR CAPACITY AND AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF - NO "TOPPING OFF". LEFT THE FILLING STATION AND THE CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES, EACH TIME IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION SUCH AS DECELERATING TO MAKE A TURN OR COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT. CAR DIES LOSING POWER STEERING AND BREAKS. THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE BAD GAS BUT IT HAS SINCE REPEATED EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFELY CONCERN AS THE CONDITION IS COMMON DURING THE FIRST 50 OR SO MILES OF DRIVING AFTER A FILL UP. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER THEY BLAMED THE ISSUE ON THE END USER OVERFILLING THE TANK. AS THE ONLY USER OF THE VEHICLE IT IS NEVER OVERFILLED NOR ?TOPPED OFF?. *TR

ENGINE
MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER WAS PURCHASED USED IN DEC 2013. SINCE THEN IT HAS OCCASIONALLY LOST POWER WHEN DRIVING.. BUT AFTER A FEW SECONDS RESTORED TO NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS. MONDAY 3/10/14, WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH ON HIGHWAY 251 IN ROCKFORD IT BEGAN LOOSING POWER AND STALLED COMPLETELY.. I BARELY HAD TIME TO GET TO THE RIGHT HAND LANE CURB. IT WAS A BUSY TRAFFIC SITUATION, AND I HAD STALLED JUST BEFORE CONSTRUCTION ZONE WHERE TRAFFIC WAS MERGING TO ONE LANE. AS I SAT AGAINST THE CURB A CAR WAS FORCED OVER STRIKING MY MIRROR OFF MY CAR... IT COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE. NOT AN EXAGGERATION, I FELT MY LIFE WAS GREATLY JEOPARDIZED. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART AND NEEDED TOWED AWAY. THE SITUATION WAS ONLY SAFE BY A POLICE CAR POLLING UP BEHIND ME UNTIL THE TOW TRUCK CAME. SO FAR THE CAR SERVICE HAS NOT FOUND A CAUSE.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STEERING
AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, WITHIN MINUTES I WAS TURNING LEFT IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT AND AN ACCIDENT WAS BARELY AVOIDED. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IN FACT I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY TWO VEHICLES, ONE COMING AT ME AND THE OTHER BEHIND ME. I RESTARTED THE CAR, DROVE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS AND THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN, SAME STEERING DIFFICULTIES. STARTED THE CAR A THIRD TIME AND IT MOVED FORWARD WITH NO MORE STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 MORE TIME IN THE PAST 3 YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS, IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT FUEL INTO THE TANK. IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 20 MINUTES BECAUSE THE NOZZLE WOULD SHUT OFF. I COULD ONLY PUT IN VERY SMALL AMOUNTS EACH SQUEEZE OF THE HANDLE. I FIND THIS NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT ALSO QUESTION THE DESIGN OF THE WHOLE FUEL RECEIVING AND STORAGE SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ASKED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND WAS ADVISED THAT A NEW GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE INSTALLED FOR APPROXIMATELY $1,200! A NEW GAS TANK? THAT WOULD CONFIRM IN MY MIND THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED ABSOLUTELY BY A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED ASAP BEFORE THERE ARE FATALITIES LINKED TO THIS FLAW.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
3/1/14....MY HUSBANDS 2006 DODGE CHARGER/HEMI, A FEW MONTHS AFTER HE PURCHASED VEHICLE, WOULD STALL SUDDENLY AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK WITH GAS. HE BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER, WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THEY ALWAYS TOLD HIM THERE WAS NOTHING SERIOUSLY WRONG, PERHAPS A LITTLE DIRT GOT INTO THE FUEL INJECTION AND IT SHOULD CLEAR UP ON ITS OWN. THIS KEPT HAPPENING BUT THE DEALER STILL WOULD NOT ADMIT THERE WAS ANYTHING WRONG. THEN WITHIN THE LAST FEW MONTHS IT WOULD SUDDEN STALL EVEN WITHOUT FUELING AND/OR WHILE HE WAS DRIVING, A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE. HE BROUGHT IT TO ANOTHER DEALER, AS THE ONE WHERE HE PURCHASED THE AUTO CLOSED, AND THEY DIAGNOSED IT TO BE A DEFECTED FUEL TANK. BY NOW, OF COURSE, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY, SO WE HAD TO PAY FOR THE SERVICE OUT OF POCKET. THIS WAS DONE ON 1/14/14 AND IT WAS EXPENSIVE. WE DEFINITELY FEEL THAT THIS IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER SINCE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN REPAIRED WHILE IN WARRANTY AND EXPECTING SOME TYPE OF REIMBURSEMENT. RESEARCHING THIS I FOUND MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE AND I THINK THEY WILL AGREE WITH ME. THANK YOU. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
CAR WILL STALL WHILE DECELERATING ON FREEWAY AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT IS KNOWN WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE EXTENDED THE TANK WARRANTY TO LIFETIME UNDER NVS-213KRH; PE13-106 THEY ARE STILL NOT COMMUNICATING TO THE DEALERS THAT THIS ISSUE EXISTS AND WHAT THE PROPER FIX IS. I ALSO CAN NOT GET THEM TO CONFIRM OR DENY THAT MY VIN IS PART OF THE GROUP OF CARS THAT THIS PROBLEM PERTAINS TO, HOWEVER I HAD THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AS ALL OTHER DRIVES WITH THE CAR STOPPING AFTER REFUELING THE SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP TRIES TO BLAME THE CUSTOMER FOR 'OVER-FUELING' BUT I FIND IT RIDICULOUS THAT YOU CAN NOT FILL YOUR ENGINE TO FULL ( 7/8 OR ABOVE) WITHOUT THIS ISSUE HAPPENING. WHEN YOU BRING IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SHOW RAW FUEL IN THE CANNISTER AND WANT TO TROUBLE SHOOT IT AS A CUSTOMER ERROR. SO FAR THIS ISSUE HAS COST ME $2500 (TANK, LABOR, RENTAL, 2 CANISTERS NOW) TO FIX ON MY OWN AND CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP ARE OF NO HELP. *TR

ENGINE
ENGINE STALLS AFTER FILING UP WITH GAS. IT HAPPENS AT LOW RPM TYPICALLY WHEN APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR STOP. ONCE DRIVING FOR A WHILE IT STOPS HAPPENING. MOST TIMES IT WILL RESTART RIGHT AWAY. ON ONE OCCURRENCE I WAS STUCK ON A VERY BUSY ROAD WITH TRUCK TRAFFIC AND IT WOULD NOT START FOR A FEW MINUTES. THIS HAPPENED ONCE TO ME IN THE PAST BUT NOW IT'S HAPPENING AFTER EVERY FILL UP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
I OWN A 2006 5.7 HEMI DODGE CHARGER. DURING MY TRIP INTO WORK MY ENGINE SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY IN PARK, SO I WENT THROUGH 4 CYCLES OF RESTARTING MY ENGINE. FINALLY I GOT THE CAR STARTED AND PROCEEDED DOWN MY STREET ONTO THE MAIN ROAD. AS I GAVE MY CAR GAS THE ENGINE SHUTDOWN AND I WENT THROUGH THE CYCLE AGAIN. I CALLED ONE OF THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIPS WHERE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLES AND THEY HAD NO COMPLAINTS ON THE PROBLEM. AS I DROVE TO THE DEALERSHIP I GOT ON THE INTERSTATE AT THE SPEED OF 70MPH THE ENGINE WAS HESITATING AGAIN, BUT DID NOT FULLY SHUTDOWN. I AM SURE DODGE HAS HEARD THIS COMPLAINT FROM MULTIPLE OWNERS AND I FEEL DODGE SHOULD CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE TRAVELING ON A BUSY ROAD. *TR
