ON THE NIGHT OF JUNE 3, 2016 I PARKED MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T IN MY DRIVE AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT AN HOUR. I WENT BACK OUT TO LEAVE AGAIN AND THE CAR WOULD NOT START. AFTER CHECKING FOR ANY COMPUTER ISSUES I HAD THE CAR TOWED MY THE DEALERSHIP. THEY PERFORMED TESTS AND DETERMINED THAT MY INTAKE VALVE SEAT IN MY #1 CYLINDER DROPPED AND CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING. THE DEALERSHIP WANTED TO CHARGE ME $3200 TO REPLACE THE CYLINDER HEAD. I CHOSE NOT TO HAVE THEM PERFORM THE WORK, INSTEAD I REMOVED THE CYLINDER HEAD AND TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MACHINE SHOP WHERE THE FIXED THE ISSUE ON THE CYLINDER HEAD AND I WAS ABLE TO INSTALL IT BACK INTO MY VEHICLE AND GET IT RUNNING AGAIN. THIS ISSUE STILL COST ME OVER $1200.

MY 2006 CHARGER RT JUST STOPS FOR NO REASON WHEN I'M AT A RED LIGHT OR AS SIMPLE AS A STOP.CANT FIND A RECALL IT'S VERY DANGEROUS DON'T KNOW WHY IT'S NOT A RECALL. I TOOK IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COUNT FIND A THE PROBLEM AND GAVE UP AND GAVE THE CAR BACK.

2006 DODGE CHARGER DAYTONA R/T 5.7 HEMI VALVE SEAT DROPPED AT 144K MILES. ALWAYS DEALER SERVICED. ALWAYS ON SCHEDULE, PLUGS, OIL AIR FILTER EVERYTHING. ISSUE LEADING UP TO IT WAS RANDOM MULTIPLE CYLINDER MISFIRE STEMMING FROM FAULTY WATER TEMP SENSOR, WHICH WAS FIXED. DROPPED VALVE SEAT WHEN BRIEFLY TURNING OF VEHICLE AFTER DROPPING FAMILY HOME PRIOR TO GOING TO WORK. MOTOR NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. JUST PRIOR TO FAILURE SPENT AROUND $4K TO MAKE SURE THE CAR WAS RUNNING PERFECT. MECHANIC HAD TOLD ME THE CAR WAS IN PERFECT RUNNING ORDER AND COMPRESSION WAS LIKE IT WAS ALMOST BRAND NEW. ENGINE SHOULD HAVE EASILY MADE IT TO 250K MILES. CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO PRETTY MUCH LIED AND TOLD ME THIS WAS NOT A COMMON OCCURRENCE. DEALER WAS NOT WILLING TO HELP ME TOWARDS THE REPAIR. IF THIS VALVE SEAT DROPPED 30 SECONDS EARLIER, IT WOULD HAVE LOCKED UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FREEWAY PUTTING THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY AND MYSELF AT RISK. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD AND KNOWN ISSUE AND CHRYSLER IS NOT DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THIS IS A DISGRACE.

WE HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT DAYTONA 'TOP BANANA'. CAR WAS DRIVING FINE TIL ONE DAY MY MOM DROVE HOME FROM TRAIN STATION (LESS THAN 5 MILES). SHE WENT IN TO CHANGE CLOTHES THEN WENT TO LEAVE AGAIN. CAR WOULDN'T START UP, LOUD BANGING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER HOOD AS WELL AS ENGINE APPEARED TO BE SHAKING VIOLENTLY. HAD TOWED TO SHOP. ONCE THERE, CAR STARTED TO SMOKE AND SHOP SAID THERE WAS HOLE IN THE PISTON AND ENGINE COULD NOT BE REPAIRED. SHOP ESTIMATE WAS 7,000 TOTAL. COULD NOT AFFORD AT THE TIME SO THE CAR SAT IN OUR DRIVEWAY FOR MONTHS.CAR JUST HAD NEW REBUILT ENGINE, AS WELL AS NEW INTAKE MANIFOLDWATER PUMP, AND OTHER NEW PARTS THAT WERE DAMAGED DUE TO THE ENGINE . I WILL INCLUDE PHOTOS OF THE ENGINE ETC.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR CONDITIONING WENT OUT IN THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. DURING THAT TIME, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE THERMOSTAT WAS LEAKING ANTIFREEZE. THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INFORMED THE CONTACT THAT CERTAIN VEHICLES WERE ON A RECALL LIST FOR THE THERMOSTAT. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 141,050.

THE CAR STALLED AS I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE LOOKED UP THIS ISSUE BEFORE AND PEOPLE HAVE SAID IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE FUEL TANK. A DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED THE FUEL TANK A FEW MONTHS BACK AND TODAY IT STALLED AGAIN. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED SINCE REPLACING THE FUEL TANK. IT APPEARS THIS IS A BIGGER PROBLEM THAN JUST THE FUEL TANK. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL PLACED BEFORE PEOPLE ARE SERIOUSLY HURT AND/OR KILLED. THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IF IT IS ON THE FREEWAY THEN IT'LL BE CATASTROPHIC ON WHAT CAN HAPPEN. THE CAR ALSO LOSES STEERING WHEN IT SHUTS OFF CAUSING A BIGGER PROBLEM.

EVERY TIME I GET GAS AND START THE ENGINE, IT JERKS AND DIES AFTER DRIVING A FEW HUNDRED FEET. I START IT AGAIN AND IT KEEPS DOING THE SAME THING REPEATEDLY. I'M AFRAID TO PULL INTO TRAFFIC BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHEN IT'S GOING TO JUST STOP RUNNING. I FEEL THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW. LAST NIGHT WAS THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE.

THERE IS DETERIORATION IN THE UPPER PARTS OF THE FILLER PIPE. THE VENT (CAN'T RECALL THE PROPER NAME) CAUSES THE SENSORS TO THINK THAT GAS IS OVERFILLING WHICH SHUTS OFF THE CAR (LIKE SOME CARS THAT WILL NOT START IF THE GAS CAP IS NOT ON COMPLETELY.) REPLACING THIS PART WILL NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM LONG TERM.
