2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

I WAS DRIVING AROUND WITH SOME FRIENDS ONE NIGHT AND STOPPED TO TALK TO THEM FOR A MINUTE. I DROVE AROUND THE BLOCK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WHEN I WENT TO START THE CAR, IT WOULDN'T START AND WHEN IT FINALLY DID, IT SHOOK VIOLENTLY AND SHUT OFF. IT TURNS OUT THAT THE CAR DROPPED A VALVE SEAT AND RUINED THE MOTOR OF THE CAR. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE 5.7 HEMI IN THE CHARGERS. I HAVE SEVERAL FRIENDS THAT HAVE HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THEIR CHARGER.

CAR WOULDN'T START AFTER THREE TRIES. SOUNDED LIKE SOMETHING BLEW UP THE FIRST TIME I TRIED STARTING IT. HAD CAR TOWED TO DODGE. IT WAS THERE A WEEK BEFORE THEY LOOKED AT. THEY CALLED US ON A WEDNESDAY SAID THE HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN WAS GONNA COST $4500 TO FIX. THEN THEY CALLED BACK ON A FRIDAY SAID THE PISTONS WERENT' GETTING ANY OIL, ENGINE, NEED TO REPLACE ENGINE. NOW IT'S GONNA COST $8,000. HOW YOU GO FROM $4500 TO $8000 IN A MATTER OF TWO DAYS???

DROVE TO A DENTIST APPOINTMENT, CAME OUT, STARTED CAR, IT MADE A LOUD BOOM THEN SHUT DOWN. TRIED STARTING AGAIN, NO BUENO, WOULDN'T START. HAD IT TOWED TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP. THEY SAY OIL IS NOT GOING INTO THE PISTONS. CYLINDER IS SHOT, NEEDS NEW ENGINE. IT'S BEEN SITTING AT THE SHOP FOR OVER A MONTH NOW. REALLY...A NEW ENGINE THAT'S GONNA COST ME $8,000 NO WARNING, NO SENSORS....NOTHING! JUST HAD CAR SERVICE A FEW MONTHS PRIOR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE CAR STALLED WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ENGINE MISFIRE/STUTTERING. THE STALL WAS AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. THE CAR COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTART WAS ATTEMPTED AND THE CAR STARTED PERFECTLY, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AFTER A FEW MILES, RESTARTED AND IT STALLED AGAIN - THIS CONTINUED, EACH TIME WITH THE TIME DRIVEN BEING LESS. ALL THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. I FINALLY MADE IT TO A SHOP WHERE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE STALLING ISSUE. THE CAR WILL HAVE THE PCM REPLACED IN HOPE THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE FAILURE ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS - THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE INTO THE SHOULDER WHEN IT STALLS (NO POWER STEERING). THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT CAN BE CATASTROPHIC.

FIRST TIME IT SHUT DOWN ON ME I WAS AT STOP LIGHT GOING TO WORK IN LELAND NC. THE OTHER TIME IT SHUT DOWN ON ME I PUT GAS IN THE CAR IN CHARLOTTE NC. I WAS AWAY FROM HOME.THE SYSTEM SHUT CAN'T WANT CRANK .I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET ON MY WAY TO WORK IN LELAND THE FIRST TIME. LEAVING THE GAS STATION THE SECOND TIME SHUT DOWN AT THE LIGHT AGAIN. *TR
