2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

LEAVING WORK ONE DAY AND STOPPED AT THE GAS STATION TO FILL UP THE TANK. I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE AND GOT OUT TO PUMP THE GAS. ONCE I FILLED UP MY TANK I GET BACK IN THE CAR TRIED TO START THE CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START.

EVERY TIME I FILL CAR WITH FUEL RIGHT AFTER FUELING IT DIES . SOMETIMES 2-3 TIMES. CAN BE HARD TO RESTART. ALREADY REPLACED EVAP SOLENOID DID NOT CORRECT. THIS IS KNOW ISSUE WITH FCA VIN RANGE SHOULD BE EXPANDED.

VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FILLING UP, ESPECIALLY ON TURNS AT SLOW SPEED. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES INTERMITTENTLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK DODGE (81 MACKENAN DR, CARY NC 27511, (919) 439-5394) WHERE AN ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300,000.

AFTER I FILLED UP ON GAS I DROVE OUT OF THE STATION AND A BLOCK LATER WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH MY CAR COMPLETELY TURNED OFF AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I COULD NOT STEER OR BRAKE. I GOT OUT OF THE ROAD PUT IT IN PARK AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. I DECIDED TO DRIVE TWO BLOCKS FARTHER TO THE OIL CHANGE PLACE AND IT DID IT AGAIN JUST DIED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET BUT STARTED RIGHT UP. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC WHO COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES OR ANY PROBLEMS.

FOR THE PAST COUPLE OF MONTHS WHEN I FILL UP OR TOP OFF IN GAS, AS SOON AS I START TO DRIVE THE CAR EITHE STALLS OR COMPLETELY CUT NOT WHILE DRIVING. I'M BIEBER HAS HAPPENED WHILE IN THE HIGHWAY AFTER FUELING UP AS WELL AS ON THE CITY STREETS. DUE THIS MALFUNCTION, I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED.

CAR CONTINUES TO CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, MAKES A LOT NOISE AND ALL THE LIGHTS ON DASH CUT ON AND DOES NOT MOVE WHEN IN GEAR.

MY DODGE CHARGER CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING OR WHILE SITTING AT STOP LIGHTS. I AM ABLE TO START UP AGAIN BUT THEN IT SHUTS OFF AT THE NEXT STOP LIGHT OR WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE. THERE IS NO TROUBLE CODES OR CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS.

AFTER FILLING UP, MY CAR ENGINE STALLS. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT. I LOOKED IT UP ON YOUR SITE AND INDEED FOUND PE13016 BUT DISAGREE WITH THE FINDING BEING THAT IT IS A LOW SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE I WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHERE I CAN'T STEER THE CAR WHATSOEVER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FUEL VAPOR LOCK IN WHICH THE EVAP VALVE STAYS OPEN AND DUE TO IT, THE ENGINE RUNS RICH BECAUSE OF THE FUEL. I WAS TOLD NOT TO OVERFILL IN WHICH I HAVE STOPPED, HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENS JUST BY FILLING UP. I HAVE HAD TO REV THE ENGINE TO BURN OFF GAS UNTIL THE ENGINE STOPS STALLING. EVERY TIME, I'VE STOPPED TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IT HAS HAPPENED AT NIGHT AS WELL WHERE VISIBILITY IS LOW AND ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE TURNING IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THANKFUL THAT IT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE I MADE THE TURN. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I'VE BEEN IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND A FEW TIMES ON A HIGHWAY BUT EVERY TIME I WAS ABOUT TO TURN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I DIDN'T KNOW AND GOT THE TOW TRUCK TO TOW THE CAR AND HAD THE POLICE TO COME BEHIND ME BECAUSE IN HIS WORDS, I WAS IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION, SO THAT NO OTHER ONCOMING VEHICLES WOULD HIT ME. THE DATE THAT I PLACED ON WHEN IT HAPPENED IS THE LAST DATE IT HAS HAPPENED THUS FAR AS OF THIS WRITING.

SHORTLY AFTER FILL UP THE CAR WILL DIE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER FILLING UP AND IT HAS HAPPENED AFTER MULTIPLE FILL UPS. THE CAR WILL START MOVING AND I WILL BEGIN DRIVING WHEN THE CAR DIES AND I LOSE POWER STEERING. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY SAID THAT IT IS A KNOWN SAFETY ISSUE WITH 2006 DODGE CHARGERS. THE FUEL TANK AND THE EVAP CANISTER NEEDS TO BE REPLACED.
