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
