2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS) HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

AFTER FUELING THE CAR, IT STALLS OUT WHEN I LEAVE THE GAS STATION. IT HAS STALLED WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT, DURING A TURN THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AND WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT SPEED. AFTER STALLING, IT STARTS BACK UP AND EITHER STALLS AGAIN OR STARTS TO DO A HARD STUTTER/BUCKING.

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN MOTION, THE DASH LIGHTS BLINK AND POWER IS LOST. SOMETIMES IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT MOVE. ON OTHER DAYS IT RUNS JUST FINE. THERE ARE NO CODES THAT FLASH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON EXCEPT FOR WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. A SIMPLE SEARCH WILL VERIFY WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT. IT IS NOT THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS WHILE STILL AND HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION. A WHILE BACK I WAS TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND IT HAPPEDEN AT THAT POINT. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE SINCE ABOUT 50,000 MILES AND WE ARE AT 80,000 NOW.. IT STAYS PARKED ALOT FOR BEING 10 YRS OLD.

I HAVE COMPLAINED ON THIS VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. IT CONTINUES TO HAVE A RANDOMLY STALLING ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT IS NOT THE GAS TANK. IT HAS FINALLY STARTED CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON (YAY! IT MIGHT ACTUALLY GET FIXED). JUST KIDDING! THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE CODES THAT SHOW UP ARE GENERAL PCM CODES THAT MEAN NOTHING. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS IT MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE PCM, ECM, OR NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS. EITHER WAY, MOST OF US GO WITHOUT CARS FOR WEEKS WHILE MECHANICS CANNOT FIND THE ACTUAL CAUSE THUS CANNOT FIX A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. MOST OF US DON'T WANT TO DRIVE VEHICLES THAT STALL WHILE GOING 40 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THE VEHICLE SHIFT LEVER WAS PLACED INTO THE PARK POSITION BUT THE GEAR FAILED TO ENGAGE. THE VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 08V583000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK MY CAR STALLED ON THE FREEWAY. THE NEXT TIME I FILLED MY TANK MY CAR STALLED TWICE WHILE DRIVING ON SIDE STREETS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS THE VAPOR PURGE VALVE. I CAN ONLY FILL MY TANK PARTIALLY OR I STALL. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.

AT 105000 MILES I NOTICED THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME IN SEPTEMBER 2015 AFTER FILLING IT THE CAR REPEATEDLY STALLED WHILE IN TRAFFIC, AT A STOP LIGHT AND WHILE GOING AROUND A TURN AT SLOW SPEEDS. ONCE THE TANK WAS AROUND 3/4 FULL I NOTICED IT STOPPING. IT RESTARTED, BUT CAUSED ME TO STOP IN TRAFFIC AND WAIT A SECOND TO PUT IN N OR P TO RESTART AND THEN BACK INTO GEAR. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY HAZARD AND SURPRISED IT HASN'T ELEVATED TO A RECALL. I THOUGHT IT WAS BAD FUEL - THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, 2 FILL UPS LATER IT STILL OCCURRED LEAVING NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR ME TO TROUBLE SHOOT. THAT LEAD ME TO THE INTERNET AND I FOUND INVESTIGATION PE 13-016 WHICH SOUNDS EXACTLY WHAT MY ISSUE IS. I CALLED THE DEALER TO SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE RECALLED AIRBAG FIXED. I ASKED THEM TO REMEDY THIS CONCURRENTLY BUT THEY ACTED REAL STUPID ON THE PHONE - I WANTED TO MAKE SURE THE PARTS WERE ON HAND TO FIX IT AT THIS TIME. I HOPE THEY HONOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY AS I AM THE ONLY OWNER AND DON'T REMEMBER GETTING THE LETTER SENT TO ME ON THIS MATTER. I AM CURIOUS FROM THIS REPAIR WHAT THEY WILL NOT COVER AND IF THEY WILL OVERCHARGE FOR OTHER ITEMS THAT "THEY FIND". I AM NOT EXACTLY SURE WHAT THEY ARE COVERING UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY?
