ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ENGINE STALLS SEVERAL TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE YOU LOOSE STEERING AND POWER BRAKES IN TRAFFIC. THE DODGE DEALER SAYS THAT IT DOES THIS BECAUSE THERE IS GASOLINE IN THE VAPOR CANISTER. I BELIEVE THIS IS BECAUSE SOMETHING IN THE FUEL TANK IS CAUSING FUEL TO GET INTO THE CANISTER WHERE IT DOES NOT BELONG. CHANGING THE CANISTER IS NOT GOING TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR AND I'M AFRAID TO BUY ANOTHER DODGE OR CHRYSLER.

THE DRIVER SIDE WHEEL FELL OFF WHEN IT WAS PUT UP ON THE RACK AT THE DEALERSHIP TO FIX THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP. AGAIN, THE UPPER BALL JOINT FAILED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
MY CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ON ME AS I WAS DRIVING IT. THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON 01/13/17 AS I WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION (AFTER REFUELING). I WAS MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AT THE TIME, WHICH TURNED OUT TO BE A BLESSING AS I WAS ABLE TO MERGE INTO A SAFE LOCATION ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER READING ABOUT SIMILAR CASES ONLINE, I FOUND THIS TO BE A RECURRING ISSUE IN THE 06 CHARGERS / CHRYSLER MODELS. THIS IS DEFINITELY A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL YET ?? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER COMPLETELY DIED ON ME WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH. LUCKILY I WAS ALONE ON A CITY ROAD BUT LOST ALL CONTROL AND FELT I WAS BARLEY BRAKING AND STEERING WAS NEAR IMPOSSIBLE. I WAS ABLE TURN EVERYTHING OFF IN THE CAR AND RESTART BUT IT HAPPENED 3 OTHER TIMES WITHIN 2 MILES. AT ONE POINT WHILE TURNING LEFT ON A HIGHWAY IT DIED; I WAS ALMOST TO A POINT TO HITTING OTHER CARS TURNING LEFT IN SAME DIRECTION AND OTHERS BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE 4 MILES TODAY WITHOUT INCIDENT HOWEVER AFTER RESEARCHING THIS EXACT ISSUE AMONG OTHER CHARGER OWNERS I SEARCHED FOR A RECALL AND NOTHING HAS BEEN SAID BY DODGE. THIS ISSUE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE FROM PERSONAL ACTIONS BUT A FLAW IN A SYSTEM ON THIS MAKE/MODEL. IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME TWICE BEFORE A FEW YEARS AGO HOWEVER I READ SOMETHING ABOUT A GAS CAP AND FELT IT WAS ISOLATED. AFTER LAST NIGHT AND READING BLOGS TODAY I SEE THAT THIS IS A WIDE SPREAD ISSUE AND NOT CAUSED BY NOT MAINTAINING A VEHICLE OR BAD DRIVING. THIS IS AN ISSUE IN DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING. HAD THIS HAPPENED IN ANY OTHER DRIVING SETTING DURING RUSH HOUR SOMEONE COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I NOTIFIED DODGE AND REPORTED THE ISSUE BY THEY SAID I WOULD NOT BE CONTACTED AND TO KEEP RECEIPTS IF SOMETHING WAS WRONG IN CASE THEY DO RECALL SOMETHING. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN CORRECTED AFTER ALL THESE REPORTS FOR THE SAME ISSUE TO THIS MANY OF THE SAME VEHICLES? *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
2006 DODGE CHARGER HAS A KNOWN ISSUE INVOLVING VEHICLE STALLING IF THE GAS TANK IS FILLED. DODGE NEGOTIATED A LIFETIME WARRANTY FOR REPAIR OF THIS DEFECT IN LIEU OF A RECALL. I WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THIS WARRANTY. MY FUEL PUMP HAS FAILED DUE TO CHRONICALLY RUNNING HOT DUE TO INABILITY TO FILL THE GAS TANK. THE FUEL PUMP DESIGN DEPENDS ON THE COOLER TEMPERATURE OF THE GASOLINE IN THE TANK TO KEEP IT COOLED. IN OTHER WORDS, NOT BEING ABLE TO KEEP ADEQUATE GAS TANK LEVELS HAS DIRECTLY LED TO FUEL PUMP OVERHEATING AND FAILURE. DODGE WILL NOT COVER THE COST OF FUEL PUMP REPAIR BUT WILL REPLACE THE FUEL TANK THAT CAUSED THE DAMAGE. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION LEAVING THE PARKING LOT AT. *TR

TAKATA RECALL - I NEVER RECEIVED A NOTIFICATION THAT I HAD A RECALL ON MY AIRBAGS - I WILL BE LOOKING INTO THIS SHORTLY -- ALSO, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY, MY ENGINE STALLS AFTER I REFUEL -- THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS ISSUE BUT APPARENTLY IT HAPPENS A LOT AS I DID SEE THAT THERE WAS AN INQUIRY INTO THIS -- THIS JUST STARTED TO HAPPEN TO MY CAR IN THE LAST 2 YEARS AND SO THEREFORE IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY.

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER KEEP STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT GETTING TO READY TO TURN AND THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. THANKFUL IT WAS A TURN SIGNAL OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE CAR JUST STALLS THEN - YOU CAN WAIT ABOUT 5 MIN. AND IT WILL START BACK UP. UPON DOING MY RESEARCH I AM UNSURE TO WHY THEIR HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT STARTS TO STALL THEN I HIT THE GAS AND IT KEEPS GOING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
2006 DODGE CHARGES WITH 5.7 HEMI V8 - EXPERIENCING RANDOM STALLING. HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING AND ABS. FIRST HAPPENED WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY AND I HAD TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A SEMI-TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WITH MY YOUNG CHILD IN THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE GAS TANK, FUEL CANISTER, AND PURGE VALVE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE AND REGARDLESS OF WHEN IT WAS REFUELED. EVEN THOUGH THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AND EVEN TRIED CHARGING ME FOR UNNECESSARY DIAGNOSTICS. CAR DOES NOT FLASH A CODE SO AFTER REPLACING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ISSUE, DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT IF IT IS FIXED. THIS HAS LEAD TO A FEW DANGEROUS CLOSE CALLS. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT BECAUSE THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. THANK YOU, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, THE CAR WILL STALL OUT RANDOMLY AT ALL SPEEDS OF TRAVEL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS SHT DOWN THE CAR WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY IN FRONT OF SEMI-TRUCKS ONLY TO HAVE POWER STEERING AND PROPULSION STOP. LUCKILY TRUCK WAS PAYING ATTENTION AND HONKED AND SWERVED AROUND, WHILE I RODE OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. THEN IT RESTARTED, RAN FOR ANOTHER MINUTE AND STALLED AGAIN WHILE TRYING TO GET BACK OFF THE SHOULDER. I ENDED UP LETTING IT IDLE FOR 5 MIN BEFORE BEING ABLE TO MERGE SUCCESSFULLY AND GET HOME. ONLINE I HAVE SEEN MANY PEOPLE SAYING THEY HAVE SAME OR SIMILAR ISSUES WITH THEIR 2006 DODGE VEHICLES AS WELL. PLEASE HELP TO GET THIS RESOLVED AS THIS COULD HAVE VERY WELL KILLED SOMEONE.
