ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HAS DEVELOPED A STALLING ISSUE EVERY TIME I FILL WITH GAS. I HAVE TRIED DIFFERENT THINGS AS FAR AS NOT FILLING TO THE TOP OR NOT TOPPING IT OFF WITH GAS. I FILLED WITH GAS ALONG AN INTERSTATE AND WHEN I WAS TRYING TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE IT QUIT ON ME DOWN THE OFF RAMP WHEN I WAS TO MERGE WITH TRAFFIC. WAS ABLE TO GET CAR TO THE SIDE OF THE INTERSTATE AND RE-START BUT DIED AGAIN. STARTED AGAIN AND THEN IT RAN WITH NO ISSUES. NOW IT HAS ISSUES EVERY TIME IT IS GASSED UP. I FILLED UP YESTERDAY AND SAME THING DIED OUT AT A STOP SIGN TRYING TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HEARD THIS IS A BIG ISSUE WITH THESE CARS AND I'M SURPRISED THAT THERE HASN'T BEEN ANYTHING DONE TO DODGE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. I'VE HEARD IT COULD COST UP TO $1,500 TO FIX. I LIKE THE CAR BUT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE IT. PLEASE HELP! THANKS

THERE IS A RECALL K#39 FOR 2005-2007 DODGE CHARGERS FOR WHEN THE CAR WILL NOT LEAVE THE PARKED POSITION. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING MY CAR IS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE 2005 AND 2006 DATES OF CARS THAT WERE AFFECTED!. I WANT CLARIFICATION OF WHY MY CAR IS NOT COVERED WHEN IT FITS EVERY DESCRIPTION IN THE RECALL. THEY HAD ME TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW SAYING I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT WITH THE ROAD AND TRACK OPTION WILL INTERMITTENTLY LOOSE POWER AND OFTEN DIE AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. EVEN IF YOU DON'T COMPLETELY FILL IT STILL WILL DIE UNEXPECTEDLY. I NEVER TOP THE TANK OFF WITH MORE GAS. IN ADDITION WHEN CAR DIES GOING AROUND A CURVE, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT MAKING DRIVING REALLY DANGEROUS. THE ENGINE DIES AT NEARLY ANY CONDITION. WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AFTER ACCELERATING AFTER STOPPING. IT HAPPENS MOST DURING ACCELERATION AFTER TURNS.

AFTER FUELING CAR UP, I TRAVELED A SHORT DISTANCE, STOPPED AT THE MAIN INTERSECTION OF THE CITY I WAS DRIVING IN, THE LIGHT CHANGED, I ACCELERATED TO TURN LEFT AND MY CHARGER DIED RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF BUSY INTERSECTION. I HAD MY DAUGHTER WITH ME, SO I TOLD HER TO GET OUT AND PUSH, SCARED THAT I WAS GOING TO BE T-BONED. WE DISCOVERED HOW HEAVY MY HEMI WAS, BUT THANKFULLY 2 MEN JUMPED OUT OF THERE VEHICLES AND PUSHED US TO SAFETY IN A NEARBY PARKING SPACE. I CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND HAD TO BE TOWED HOME AFTER TRYING TO GET IT TO START AGAIN AND IT WOULDN'T STAY RUNNING. IF YOU KNOW WHAT MY PROBLEM IS, PLEASE HELP ME. MY CAR HAS 95,000 MILES ON IT.

CAR WAS OPERATING JUST FINE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE STOPPED AT WAL-MART AND WAS IN STORE FOR ABOUT 30 MINS.. CAME OUT AND WENT TO START CAR AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A POPCORN POPPER FULL OF METAL AND STARTED SMOKING SO BAD IT FILLED ENTIRE PARKING LOT WITH SMOKE SO THICK THAT YOU COULDN'T SEE 3 FEET BEYOND YOUR FACE.. SO HAD TO PULL CAR HOME AND WHEN I PULLED VALVE COVER AND PLUGS ON LEFT SIDE I NOTICED MERAL SHAVINGS IN CYLINDER 1 AND PLUGS IN CYLINDER 4 WERE COMPLETELY SMASHED SMASHED IN ON THEMSELVES ( GAP GONE ).. APPARENTLY THE VALVE SEATS DROPPED INTO CYLINDERS AND PUCTURED PISTONS... I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PRETTY REGULAR OCCURRENCE WITH OTHER 2006 HEMI CHARGERS...

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RECENTLY, AFTER PUMPING GAS INTO MY CAR AND AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MOMENTS, THE CAR STOPS AS I APPROACH A STOP SIGN OR A LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IMMEDIATELY AFTER AT LEAST 3 RECENT GAS FILL-UPS. I SHUT OFF MY CAR AND START IT UP AGAIN AND AFTER DRIVING A SHORT PERIOD, IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER I PUMP GAS INTO MY VEHICLE (2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AS I AM FEARFUL OF GOING ON THE EXPRESSWAYS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF IT STALLING AND STOPPING. I BELIEVE THERE IS A FAULTY VALVE OR GAS TANK SITUATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER REFUELING AND IF I LEAVE THE PUMP, BUT NOT THE STATION, I EXPERIENCE BUCKING AND/OR STALLING AND LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS HAPPENS EVEN UP TO A COUPLE OF MILES OF DRIVING. MY CAR BUCKS VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND EVEN STALLS. IF I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, IT STALLS. IT HAPPENS ON A SOFT OR HARD ACCELERATION. I TRIED THEM BOTH. IF I DO LEAVE THE STATION IMMEDIATELY, IT WILL THEN HAPPEN ON A CITY STREET, ROAD, EVEN ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL-UP, SO TRAVEL IS NOT ONLY UNNERVING, IT'S UNSAFE... LOSING STEERING OR BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO TOP OFF AT THE GAS PUMP. I DON'T. IT HAPPENS ON THE FLAT, UP HILL, DOWN HILL, TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT, WARM WEATHER OR COLD WEATHER, HIGH OR LOW HUMIDITY, IT STILL HAPPENS. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS ABOUT A $1500 FIX. IF I HAD $1500, I WOULDN'T BE DRIVING A 13 YEAR OLD CAR.
