TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS) AND STATED THAT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE WITHIN A REASONABLE TIMEFRAME TO SCHEDULE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT CALLED TWO DEALERS AND WAS NOT ABLE TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE DEALER DID NOT GIVE A SPECIFIC DATE FOR WHEN THE PART WOULD BECOME AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND COULD NOT PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED DATE FOR WHEN THE CONTACTS VEHICLE WOULD RECEIVE THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT WAS NOT EXPERIENCING A FAILURE.

WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THEN GO DARK (ALL OF THEM). AT THE SAME TIME, ALL THE GAUGES DROP TO ZERO, BOUNCE TO THEIR MAX AND THEN DROP TO A NULL STATE AGAIN. AFTER THIS BLINKING EVENT HAPPENS A FEW TIMES, ALL OF THE MONITORING SYSTEMS AND GAUGES RETURN TO A WORKING STATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE DRIVEABILITY OF THE CAR (BRAKES, TRANS, ETC. ALL STILL FUNCTION). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT CAUSED GREAT CONCERN FOR SAFETY, AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION WHILE UNDER WAY. THE ORIGINAL DATE AND MILEAGE ARE ESTIMATED.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILS TO RETRACT COMPLETELY, CAUSING THE METAL CLIP TO GET CAUGHT IN THE DOOR WELL WHEN THE DOOR IS CLOSED. THE CLIP WEDGES THE DOOR SHUT AND THE DOOR CANNOT BE OPENED FROM INSIDE, TRAPPING THE DRIVER INSIDE THE CAR. THE DOOR CAN BE OPENED FROM OUTSIDE WITH CONSIDERABLE EFFORT. DENTS REMAIN IN THE DOOR WELL AS EVIDENCE OF THE CLIP WEDGING THE DOOR SHUT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES. DATE OF THE FIRST INCIDENCE AND MILEAGE ARE ESTIMATED.

CAR STALLED 100 FEET FROM SERVICE STATION AFTER FILL UP WITH PREMIUM GAS. SINCE THEN THE CAR IS RUN WITH 1/4 TO 3/4 TANK OF GAS AND NEVER FILLED COMPLETELY UP. CAR SHUTS OFF DURING ACCELERATION FROM STOP LIGHT NUMEROUS TIMES. CAR SHUTS OFF AT VARIOUS SPEEDS AND STARTS BACK RUNNING WITH A SURGE IN ACCELERATION. THIS HAPPENS WITH AND WITHOUT CRUISE CONTROL ON. GOING UP OR DOWN HILLS AND ON LEVEL PAVEMENT. AMOUNT OF GAS IN TANK DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. CHANGED TO DIFFERENT KEY NO KEYRING WITHOUT CHANGE IN SYMPTOMS. MOBILE 1 SYNTHETIC OIL CHANGED REGULARLY. CAR IS DRIVEN BY OLDER DRIVER WITHIN SPEED LIMIT. PURCHASED CAR NEW WITH NO MILES ON IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT WILL GET SOMEONE KILLED. LAST DRIVE WAS 20 MILES. CAR SHUT DOWN AND RESTARTED ITSELF 5 TIMES GOING DOWN THE ROAD AT 40 MPH. I WANT TO REPAIR THE CAR BUT CHRYSLER/DODGE WILL NOT ISSUE A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM. FIRST DODGE I HAVE EVER OWNED.

AFTER FILLING UP GAS ON MY DODGE CHARGER 2006 RT, THE ENGINE STALLS AND STOP WHILE AT THE TRAFFIC STOP. TRIED TO RE-START THE ENGINE A FEW TIMES BUT WON'T START. WAITED 2 MINUTES AND TRIED TO RE-START THE ENGINE IT DID START AND WAS ABLE TO CROSS TO TRAFFIC LIGHT AND AVOID HOLDING THE OTHER CARS BEHIND ME. BUT AFTER A FEW AT LEAST A HUNDRED FEET, THE ENGINE STARTS STALL AGAIN THIS TIME HAVE TO ROLL MY CAR INTO THE SIDE ROAD. TRIED A FEW TIMES TO RESTART, ENGINE BUT DID NOT START. AT THAT POINT DECIDED TO CALL FOR HELP AND WHILE WAITING ON THE SIDE ROAD FOR 5 TO 10 MINUTES, TRIED TO RE-START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND THIS TIME AROUND THE ENGINE STEADIED AND RUNS NORMAL AS IF NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I HAVE RESEARCH THIS TYPE OF ENGINE STALL AND IT SEEMS THIS IS COMMON TO MY CAR MODEL/YEAR.
