2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A COMPLAINT WAS FILED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 117,235.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HEMI POLICE INTERCEPTOR I PURCHASED FROM THE STATE OF OREGON AT 137,000 RANDOMLY DIES. THE LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL CODE COMES ON. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THE PCM $750 HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE PLUGS $350 HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL. I ALSO GET TCM CODES. MY CAR HAS DIED AT VERY DANGEROUS TIMES, WHEN PASSING OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR WAS CONSTANTLY ILLLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V352000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER STATED THAT A DIAGNOSTIC FEE WOULD BE APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 64,000.

IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FUEL FILL UP THE ENGINE WILL STALL SEVERAL TIMES IN FORWARD OR REVERSE. THIS WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE ENGINE HAS OPERATED FOR 4 TO 5 MINUTES. THE ENGINE HAS FAILED ON ME SEVERAL TIMES AT INTERSECTIONS AND WHEN PULLING ONTO ROADWAYS...VERY DANGEROUS PLACE TO STALL. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS MADE TO THE NHTSB AND DODGE FORUMS ON THIS ISSUE. I JUST HAD MY FUEL CANNISTER REPLACED AND THE PROBLEM REMAINS.

THE GEAR SHIFT TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR IS STUCK AND ITS KEEPS THE CAR FROM COMING OUT OF PARK. YOU HAVE TO PRESS THE RELEASE BUTTON TO PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE.

TAKATA RECALL THE SUSPENSION IS SHOT. I AM HAVING TO REPLACE THE MY TIRES DUE TO THE BUSHINGS BEING JUNK AND HAVE ATE MY TIRES AWAY ON THE INSIDE DOWN TO THE METAL DUE TO THE TOE POSITIONING BEING INCORRECT. THE CONTROL ARMS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, BUT I AM IN FEAR THE REAR CAMBER MAY BE COMPLETELY OUT. ALSO, SOMETIMES MY CAR DOES NOT WANT TO TURN OVER, BUT YET THE BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR ARE FINE. ALSO, MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS A MESS. I CAN'T ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW UNLESS I SHUT OFF MY AIR OR HEAT. THEN WHEN I TURN ON MY AIR OR HEAT ALL MY INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OUT. PLUS, SOMETIMES MY TACHOMETER DOESN'T WANT TO WORK. I HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, IT IS ALWAYS MAINTAINED, BUT YET I FEEL LIKE I AM ABOUT TO HAVE TO DUMP THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS CHEAPLY MADE SUSPENSION. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CHARGER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR STATING THEY HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES AND IF A RECALL CAN NOT BE DONE THEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD BE PUT INTO MOTION. I'M HOPING DODGE WILL GIVE US A CHANCE TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS, BECAUSE AT THIS MORNING I AM READY TO GIVE UP. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A DODGE FAN, BUT THIS TIME, ON MY FAVORITE LOOKING CAR, YOU ALL HAVE DROPPED THE BALL!

WHILE MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE MY ENGINE SHUT COMPLETELY OFF; I LOST POWER STEERING AND ALL THROTTLE CONTROL. AFTER PULLING ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I WAS ABLE TO TURN THE IGNITION ON AND DRIVE AWAY LIKE NORMAL. I HAVE A 5.7L HEMI AND THE CAR HAS 37,700 MILES.

VEHICLE STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING AT TRAFFIC CONTROL DEVICES. SOMETIMES AFTER REFUELING. MOSTLY AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING 55 OR 60 MPH AND WHILE SLOWING TO TURN CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE ALL POWERS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, OIL AND ETC ALL COME ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THIS VEHICLE ONLY HAS 48,000 ORIGINAL MILES. VERY DANGEROUS WHILE DRIVING WITH MY PRECIOUS GRANDBABIES IN THE CAR. HAVE HAD TO THE CAR TO TWO DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND THEY CAN NOT FIND A PROBLEM. I HAVE EVEN REPLACE THE COMPUTER AND IT DID NOT CORRECT THE PERFORMANCE OF THE VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LEVER FAILED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO REMAIN IN PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER LEVER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

TAKATA RECALL FCA HAS YET TO REPAIR MY AIRBAG INFLATORS AS OF 19 MARCH 2017 IN RESPONSE TO TAKATA PASSENGER AIRBAG RECALL S43 ISSUED ON 26 MAY 2016. THIS IS AN UNACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO WAIT GIVEN THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE.
