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.

CAR WAS OPERATING JUST FINE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE STOPPED AT WAL-MART AND WAS IN STORE FOR ABOUT 30 MINS.. CAME OUT AND WENT TO START CAR AND IT SOUNDED LIKE A POPCORN POPPER FULL OF METAL AND STARTED SMOKING SO BAD IT FILLED ENTIRE PARKING LOT WITH SMOKE SO THICK THAT YOU COULDN'T SEE 3 FEET BEYOND YOUR FACE.. SO HAD TO PULL CAR HOME AND WHEN I PULLED VALVE COVER AND PLUGS ON LEFT SIDE I NOTICED MERAL SHAVINGS IN CYLINDER 1 AND PLUGS IN CYLINDER 4 WERE COMPLETELY SMASHED SMASHED IN ON THEMSELVES ( GAP GONE ).. APPARENTLY THE VALVE SEATS DROPPED INTO CYLINDERS AND PUCTURED PISTONS... I HAVE LOOKED ONLINE AND IT SEEMS THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PRETTY REGULAR OCCURRENCE WITH OTHER 2006 HEMI CHARGERS...
Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 16, 2019
RECENTLY, AFTER PUMPING GAS INTO MY CAR AND AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MOMENTS, THE CAR STOPS AS I APPROACH A STOP SIGN OR A LIGHT. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IMMEDIATELY AFTER AT LEAST 3 RECENT GAS FILL-UPS. I SHUT OFF MY CAR AND START IT UP AGAIN AND AFTER DRIVING A SHORT PERIOD, IT HAPPENS AGAIN. THIS ONLY HAPPENS AFTER I PUMP GAS INTO MY VEHICLE (2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T). THIS HAS HAPPENED ON CITY STREETS AS I AM FEARFUL OF GOING ON THE EXPRESSWAYS WITH THE POSSIBILITY OF IT STALLING AND STOPPING. I BELIEVE THERE IS A FAULTY VALVE OR GAS TANK SITUATION.
Fuel/propulsion system, Apr 5, 2019
AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE IT WILL STALL AT LOW STEEDS. SOMETIMES IT WILL STALL AT A STOP AND OTHERS WHEN MAKING A TURN IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR THE PAST 3 YEARS SO IT MOSTLY THE CAR SITS IN THE GARAGE.

ALSO, IT IS EMBARRASSING FOR MY CAR TO 'CONK OUT'. - I AM CURRENTLY BROKEN DOWN DUE TO THE FUEL PUMPS' INCORRECT ASSERTIONS OF GAS. DISAPPOINTED ANDNEED ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR SAID ISSUES. THANK YOU

AFTER FILLING GAS A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE VEHICLE STALLS WHILE BEING STOPPED AT LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD ALL EMISSIONS COMPONENTS REPLACED EXCEPT FOR THE EVAPORATOR CANISTER AND FUEL TANK.

ON MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER, AN UNPRECEDENTED MECHANICAL PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH THE IGNITION. IT IS UNPRECEDENTED AS IT WORKED PERFECTLY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE IGNITION WILL ONLY TURN FROM 'OFF' TO 'A/C' AND FINALLY TO 'ON' BUT IT WILL NOT TURN ANY FURTHER TO 'START'. THIS MEANS THE ENGINE CAN NOT BE STARTED. WITH FURTHER RESEARCH, IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT SAME GENERATION CHARGERS AND MAGNUMS ARE AFFECTED BY THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH OWNERS REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH THE ACTUATOR PIN. MY CAR IS STATIONARY AND AS OF LATE CAN'T MOVE WITH AN OUTSIDE SOURCE.

AFTER REFUELING AND IF I LEAVE THE PUMP, BUT NOT THE STATION, I EXPERIENCE BUCKING AND/OR STALLING AND LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS HAPPENS EVEN UP TO A COUPLE OF MILES OF DRIVING. MY CAR BUCKS VIOLENTLY AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND EVEN STALLS. IF I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, IT STALLS. IT HAPPENS ON A SOFT OR HARD ACCELERATION. I TRIED THEM BOTH. IF I DO LEAVE THE STATION IMMEDIATELY, IT WILL THEN HAPPEN ON A CITY STREET, ROAD, EVEN ON THE INTERSTATE. IT HAPPENS AFTER EVERY FILL-UP, SO TRAVEL IS NOT ONLY UNNERVING, IT'S UNSAFE... LOSING STEERING OR BRAKES. THEY TOLD ME NOT TO TOP OFF AT THE GAS PUMP. I DON'T. IT HAPPENS ON THE FLAT, UP HILL, DOWN HILL, TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT, WARM WEATHER OR COLD WEATHER, HIGH OR LOW HUMIDITY, IT STILL HAPPENS. I WAS TOLD THAT IT IS ABOUT A $1500 FIX. IF I HAD $1500, I WOULDN'T BE DRIVING A 13 YEAR OLD CAR.
Fuel/propulsion system, Mar 14, 2019
AFTER FILLING UP GAS TANK (NOT TOPPING OFF AT ALL) THE CAR WILL STALL RANDOMLY FOR ABOUT 15 MINUTES AFTER FILL UP EVEN WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHER SPEEDS. VERY DANGEROUS. STEERING IS LOST AND EVEN WHEN RESTARTING IT TAKES A SECOND FOR THE TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING WITH MY VEHICLE FOR ABOUT A YEAR NOW.
