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.
Power train, Electrical system, Engine, Dec 30, 2016
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

(DROPPED VALVE SEAT) I WAS ON MY WAY TO LUNCH WHEN I REALIZED I LEFT AN ITEM IN MY DESK THAT WAS NEEDED. I TURNED AROUND AND HEADED BACK TO THE OFFICE. I PARKED MY CAR, RAN BACK IN TO THE OFFICE AND RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE WITHIN 5 MINUTES. WHEN I TRIED TO START MY ENGINE, IT WOULD NOT START. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO MY LOCAL MACHINE SHOP. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT A VALVE SEAT DROPPED AND THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. MY MECHANIC WAS QUITE KNOWLEDGEABLE ABOUT THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS. AS HE STATED THAT IT HAPPENED VERY OFTEN WITH DODGE HEMI 5.7 ENGINES. HE STATED THAT THE VALVE SEATS WERE MADE OF POOR METAL MATERIAL. HE ALSO STATED THAT CHRYSLER WAS VERY AWARE OF THE DEFECT AND WHAT IT CAN CAUSE. I DID MY RESEARCH ONLINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF THREADS WITH PEOPLE THAT EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I HAD TO BUY A BRAND NEW ENGINE AND SEVERAL OTHER ENGINE PARTS THAT FAILED DUE TO THIS CATASTROPHE. NOT TO MENTION MAJOR LABOR COSTS. *TR

"TAKATA RECALL" I RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF SAFETY RECALL S43 JULY 23RD AND TO DATE DEALER STILL HAS NO PARTS. THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO ME TO BE ACCEPTABLE WHEN POSSIBLE INJURY MAY OCCUR. AND I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY BOTH SIDES WERE NOT DONE LAST YEAR WHEN THE DRIVERS SIDE RECALL CAME UP. CHRYSLER CORP. SHOULD CARE MORE FOR THEIR CUSTOMERS SAFETY. I SURE HOPE WE DO NOT EXPERIENCE A PROBLEM BEFORE RECALL GETS DONE..IT COULD BE COSTLY.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT STALLS INTERMITTENTLY WHILE I'M TURNING A CORNER ON A CITY STREET OR STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN IT STALLS, I DO NOT HAVE POWER STEERING. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE I COULD GET HIT. SOMETIMES IT STALLS MORE OFTEN AFTER I FILL UP WITH GAS. I DO NOT OVERFILL. I HAVE BEEN FILING MY GAS TANK THE SAME WAY FOR 10 YEARS AND UNTIL OCTOBER OF 2016 IT HAS NEVER BEEN A PROBLEM.

WHILE SITTING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IT CUTS OFF. WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE CUTS OFF. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE 2014. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO DARCARS HILLCREST HGTS AND NEW CARROLLTON BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AND THEY HAVE YET TO TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS
Engine, Fuel/propulsion system, Nov 15, 2016
CHARGER IS STALLING FREQUENTLY. AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. STALLED AND WENT INTO SOME SAFE MODE WHERE IT WOULDN'T GO INTO SECOND GEAR. STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, SIDE ROADS AND WHILE MAKING A TURN. WHILE MAKING THE TURN IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHILE A TRUCK WAS COMING AT US. I HAD MY SON IN THE CAR AND WE WERE STRANDED IN THE ROAD. WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!! I HAVE READ UP ON THIS AND IT SEAMS TO BE A FAULTY SENSOR AT THE GAS TANK FILL UP. WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED? SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO GET KILLED BEFORE DOING ANYTHING. GREAT COMPANY!!!

AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK, VEHICLE WILL RAPIDLY LOSE RPMS AND STALL WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS OR STOP SIGNS. I THEN PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND AM ABLE TO RESTART IT, BUT IT WILL STALL AGAIN WHILE MOVING RIGHT AFTER. THIS CAUSES A LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHICH HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH MULTIPLE TIMES. I ONLY BOUGHT THE CAR 12 DAYS AGO AND IT HAS DONE THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE READ THE MULTIPLE OTHER COMPLAINTS, AND HAVE TRIED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE PCM, BUT THAT DID NOT WORK. OTHERS HAVE SUGGESTED REPLACING THE GAS TANK BECAUSE THE STALL COULD BE CAUSED BY THE VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM FAILING FOLLOWING REFUELING. I BELIEVE THIS ISSUE IS RELATED TO NHTSA ACTION PE13016. THE VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AS IT WILL STALL WHILE MOVING AND LOSE POWER STEERING. THE PROBLEM FIRST OCCURRED ON 11/7/16, AND OCCURRED AGAIN ON 11/15/16, BOTH TIMES AFTER I REFUELED. IT WILL NOT OCCUR IF THE GAS IS BELOW 3/4 FULL. I REPLACED THE PCM ON 11/10/16, BUT THAT DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM.
Fuel system, Gasoline, Engine, Nov 1, 2016
MY 2006 CHARGER WILL STALL AND OR JOLT VIOLENTLY AS SOON AS I LEAVE THE GAS STATION, AND IT IS ONLY WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE TWICE AND DRIVING A SHORT WHILE I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK. I KNOW THAT NEWER VEHICLE FUEL TANKS ARE DESIGNED NOT TO BE FORCE FILLED DUE TO THE SPECIAL EVAP SYSTEM. I ONLY FILL THE TANK TILL THE STATION PUMP NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD HOW TO FILL THESE NEWER VEHICLES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER SEVERAL MONTHS, THOUGH I HAVE NOT HAD ANY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, I FEAR THAT THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR
