THE FIRST TIME MY MOTOR FAILED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 70MPH AND SOMEONE CUT ME OFF I HIT THE BRAKES GOOD ENOUGH TO BARELY AVOID THEM CRASHING INTO ME , WHEN I TRIED TO PUSH THE THROTTLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE MOTOR STARTED JUMPING BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT WANTED TO JUMP OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY , TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID TWO OF MY CYLINDERS WERE ONLY RUNNING AT HALF THE COMPRESSION MEANING I HAD A VALVE ISSUE LIKE THESE CARS ARE WELL KNOWN TO HAVE NOW. WELL $5,000 LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM DODGE WITH ONE HEAD REPLACED , JUST ABOUT 60K MILES LATER THE OTHER HEAD FAILED ON ME AND TRAVELED INTO MY OTHER HEAD DESTROYING THAT ONE AND MY PISTONS , JUST SPENT $9,000 TO HAVE THE MOTOR REPLACED AND NOT EVEN A 1,000 MILES LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE . THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE I STILL OWE MONEY ON THE CAR AND I'VE SPENT UPWARDS OF $14,000 TO KEEP THIS CAR RUNNING . IT'S LEFT ME WITH NO WAY TO GET ME TO WORK IT'S LEFT ME STRANDED I'VE LOST A JOB BECAUSE I COULDN'T BE THERE I'VE MISSED OUT ON OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS CAR I'M 23 YEARS OLD AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON 4 YEARS NOW . I MAKE MINIMUM WAGE WORK 50HRS A WEEK THIS CAR HAS TAKEN A YEARS WORTH OF SALARY FROM ME AND MADE MY LIFE SO STRESSFUL I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH , THIS HAS MADE MY LIFE VERY DIFFICULT IN THESE PAST 4 YEARS ... THE CAR IS CURRENTLY DOWN BECAUSE CYLINDER #2 ONLY HAS ABOUT 90PSI AND I DON'T KNOW WHY TO DO ANYMORE ... I HAVE NO CAR I WALK OR TAKE THE BUS TO WORK EVERYDAY I CAN NOT DO THIS MUCH LONGER ..

I TOOK MY 06 CHARGER IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL AND WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER MY CAR SHUT OFF AT EVERY LIGHTS AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF GOING 40 50 MILES AN HOUR. IT CONTINUES TO DO THAT MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT SO MANY OF THE 6TH GENERATION DODGE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY A PROBLEM THAT CAUSES YOU TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IS NOT ADDRESSED. FIRST IT START TELLING ME THAT IT WAS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEM, THEN IT'S NOW TELLING ME THAT IS A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE AND THE ECM. THIS HAPPENED EXACTLY ONE MINUTE AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER GETTING MY AIRBAGS RECALLED. IT STALLS AT WHEN STATIONARY, WHEN MOVING, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, AND EVERY COUPLE MINUTES. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING ADDRESSED.

I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS. FIRST WHILE DRIVING ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON THEN GO RIGHT OFF. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS MY CAR WILL TURN OVER AND SOMETIMES START BUT DIE IMMEDIATELY. ONCE I GET IT STARTED IT WILL GO FINE FOR A WHILE BEFORE DOING IT AGAIN. BY THE LOOKS OF MY RESEARCH BOTH PROBLEMS ARE PRETTY COMMON IN 2006 CHARGERS.

Engine, Sep 16, 2019
PCM SHUTS DOWN BRIEFLY WITHOUT WARNING AT SEEMINGLY RANDOM TIMES, ALTHOUGH THIS SEEMS TO BE MORE COMMON WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STATIONARY SUCH AS AT A STOPLIGHT. SOMETIMES THE OUTRAGE IS EXTREMELY SHORT AND THERE IS A DING FROM THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, SOMETIMES IT IS LONGER WITH ONE OR MORE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATE BRIEFLY INCLUDING THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE, AND SOMETIMES THE CEL WILL ILLUMINATE. OUTAGE NEVER SEEMS TO LAST MORE THAN A FRACTION OF A SECOND. IF THE CEL COMES ON THE CODE IS U0100 LOST COMM. W/PCM. IF SPEED IS ABOVE ABOUT 15 MPH THE ENGINE DOESN'T ACTUALLY STOP, THERE'S JUST A BIG JOLT, AS IF THEY HEY HAD BEEN TURNED OFF AND THEN RAPIDLY BACK ON. AT SLOWER SPEEDS THE ENGINE STOPS AND MUST BE RESTARTED WITH THE KEY. THIS HAS RESULTED IN NEAR ACCIDENTS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND SUDDENLY STOPPING. DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK, AT FIRST COULDN'T DUPLICATE BUT WHEN IT DID HAPPEN THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE. THEY REPROGRAMMED THE TCM AND CHANGED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER (WHICH WERE DUE ANYWAY) AND REPLACED THE BATTERY FOR LACK OF ANY BETTER IDEAS. THIS PROBLEM CAN GO A WEEK OR TWO WITHOUT HAPPENING OR HAPPEN 10 TIMES IN 3 DAYS. I ADDED A RECORDING VOLTMETER TO MONITOR KEY VOLTAGES IN AND OUT OF THE PCM (MEASURED AND RECORDED APPROXIMATELY 20 TIMES PER SECOND) AND THIS SHOWED THE FIRST SIGN OF TROUBLE IS THE AUTO SHUTDOWN RELAY CONTROL VOLTAGE OUT OF THE PCM GOING TO ZERO WHILE THE BATTERY VOLTAGE AND KEYSWITCH 'RUN' VOLTAGES BOTH REMAINED HIGH(~14.2 VOLTS). I REPLACED THE PCM WITH A REFURBISHED ONE (COULD NOT LOCATE A NEW REPLACEMENT) AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT OBSERVED FOR TWO MONTHS, BUT THEN RESUMED. MULTIPLE SIMILAR REPORTS ON THE INTERNET, MOSTLY RELATED TO FILLING THE GAS TANK BUT MY PROBLEM HAS NO CORRELATION TO REFUELING OR FUEL LEVEL.

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

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.
