THE CAR KEEPS STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND ALSO AT AT COMPLETE STOP. LIKE A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I LOVE MY CAR BUT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND, WITH THIS BEING A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE 06 MODEL. WHY ISN'T THERE A RECALL ON THESE CARS. I ONLY HAVE 62K ON IT AND I KEEP UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE. IF SOMEONE IS READING THIS PLEASE HELP ME.

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING ALONG HWY, NOTICED ENGINE TEMP GETTING WARM (APPARENTLY ANOTHER RADIATOR HAD BLOWN AND WAS DUMPING COOLANT UNDER CAR), SO I STARTED TRYING TO GET TO SIDE LANES. THEN SAW TEMP WAS CLOSE TO RED, SO I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF (AT SPEED) AND COASTED OFF TO SHOULDER. DETERMINED RADIATOR WAS UNFIXABLE AND WAITED FOR TOW. ENGINE HAD COOLED SO TRIED TO START THE ENGINE TO BRIEFLY ADJUST IT TO BE PICKED UP BY TOW TRUCK. ENGINE WAS HARD TO START, THEN BEGAN MAKING AWFUL CLANKING, PINGING, RATTLING NOISES FOR A BIT, THEN STALLED OUT. HAD IT BROUGHT HOME AND ENDED UP FINDING THAT THE INTAKE VALVE SEATS FOR CYLINDERS #4 AND 8 HAD DROPPED OUT OF THE HEAD AND HAD BEEN RATTLING AROUND AGAINST VALVES AND MADE SEVERAL DINGS IN PISTONS. ENDED UP COSTING ME OVER $2500 TO FIX THE TOP END, BUT I MAY STILL BE DEALING WITH PISTON RING DAMAGE ISSUES.

AIR BAGS
TAKATA RECALL I RECEIVED ANOTHER POSTCARD THIS WEEK REMINDING ME THAT I NEED TO GET MY AIRBAGS REPLACED. I CHECKED YOUR WEBSITE FOR PARTS AVAILABILITY AND FOUND THAT BOTH S43 AND R45 ARE BOTH AVAILABLE. I CALLED FIRKINS IN BRADENTON FL TO SCHEDULE MY REPLACEMENT OF BOTH AIRBAGS, ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT THEY ONLY HAVE THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG IN STOCK. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR BOTH PARTS TO BE AVAILABLE SO THAT I WOULD ONLY HAVE TO MAKE ONE APPOINTMENT. CAN YOU FIND OUT WHEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG REPLACEMENT WILL BE AVAILABLE? THANK YOU.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FUEL FILL UP THE ENGINE WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. THIS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS OPERATED FOR 4 TO 5 MINUTES. THE ENGINE HAS FAILED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES AT INTERSECTIONS AND WHEN PULLING ONTO ROADWAYS...VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO STALL. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS MADE TO THE NHTSB AND DODGE FORUMS ON THIS ISSUE. I JUST HAD MY FUEL CANNISTER REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS.

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SUSPENSION
TAKATA RECALL THE SUSPENSION IS SHOT. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE MY TIRES DUE TO THE BUSHINGS BEING JUNK AND HAVE ATE MY TIRES AWAY ON THE INSIDE DOWN TO THE METAL DUE TO THE TOE POSITIONING BEING INCORRECT. THE CONTROL ARMS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, BUT I AM IN FEAR THE REAR CAMBER MAY BE COMPLETELY OUT. ALSO, SOMETIMES MY CAR DOES NOT WANT TO TURN OVER, BUT YET THE BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR ARE FINE. ALSO, MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS A MESS. I CAN'T ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW UNLESS I SHUT OFF MY AIR OR HEAT. THEN WHEN I TURN ON MY AIR OR HEAT ALL MY INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OUT. PLUS, SOMETIMES MY TACHOMETER DOESN'T WANT TO WORK. I HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, IT IS ALWAYS MAINTAINED, BUT YET I FEEL LIKE I AM ABOUT TO HAVE TO DUMP THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS CHEAPLY MADE SUSPENSION. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CHARGER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR STATING THEY HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES AND IF A RECALL CAN NOT BE DONE THEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD BE PUT INTO MOTION. I'M HOPING DODGE WILL GIVE US A CHANCE TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS, BECAUSE AT THIS MORNING I AM READY TO GIVE UP. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DODGE FAN, BUT THIS TIME, ON MY FAVORITE LOOKING CAR, YOU ALL HAVE DROPPED THE BALL!
