2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

I've owned this car a little over a month. I filled up the gas tank today, after leaving the gas station the car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. thankfully no one was coming the opposite direction at the time before i could get the car restarted. at the next light it stalled again, and then was able to restart the car. i was able to pull into a parking lot to access any issues. nothing looked wrong visibly. while idling the car stalled again. i researched the issue and found other similar issues with this year and make of the car stalling after filling the tank. this is a huge safety issue as there was no warning and the car completely stalled and had no function. if cars were coming at me in the intersection or i was on the highway which was the next exit, it could have been worse for me and others on the road.

Since owning this car everytime I fill up the gas (not over filling) or even going above 7/8 of a tank, my car stalls 3-10 times and chuggs while driving. I have already replaced the purge valve with no luck. After doing much research it has come to my attention that there has been a recall on cars just like mine. But when I look up my Vin it says no recall available. I am terrified to drive my car after putting gas in because I don't want to get into an accident.

Rocker arms in the 2006 and above have a major problem in the rocker arms. Bad arms go bad or seize up cause veichle engine to stop running scary if your on the fwy with your family.I researched the problem online and there are thousands of complaints if not more

Filled my gas up. Drove down road and it stalled in the dark on a busy road. Had my kids in car too.

The transmission console shift lever stays in Park. The console shift lever will not go into Reverse. Sunday morning my wife was on her way to church and found that the Dodge Charger RT transmission would not go into reverse. I tried it and she was right. My concern is if this happened while in traffic the vehicle could be rear ended or could cause a traffic night mare. My wife was in New Hampshire as the driver of our car with three other ladies just prior to this problem. . She was about sixty miles away and if the transmission locked up there with the four of them they would have been stranded. The plastic shift lock out located in the console is a plastic piece and should be replaced with a metal or aluminum piece by a Recall or at least a Technical Bulletin. The following is the current vehicle replacement Shift Interlock Repair Kit P/N 68088259AB. If any more information is required please feel free to contact me.

The failing component is the same one that only "some" 2006 Dodge Chargers were covered. Even though my failed parts match the failed parts of the recall, I don't qualify because Chrysler didn't pick my VIN as one to replace. So after filling my vehilce with gas I went to turn and in the middle of the intersection my car shut off and all systems went down, meaning I lost power steering and the engine stalled. It would not restart. Four people nearly died, because we were almost hit by a gravel train truck. In the middle of the intersection, and could do nothing..If you win the Chrysler VIN lotterey, yours gets fixed and if you don't have that VIN, too bad for you. So I have a car that has the potential to kill many people because. of a known safety issue that Chrysler fixed on some cars but not all cars. NHTSA allows a huge safety problem as one that impacts the entire operation of the vehicle to still be on the road without the recall applying to it? One second difference and I and 3 occupants would have been dead. ONE SECOND. No warning lights, no codes, the problem has been seen by every dealer in the USA according to the technicians that looked at my car. They said it's sad that money means more to Chrysler than Safety. It first started happening just a few weeks ago, I only drive in the summer with this car, so it is low miles also. According to the recall the fuel tank and it's system fail. QUOTE from CHRYSLER " a condition where the fuel shut-off float, in the multifunction control valve sticks, which may result in the vehicle stalling after fueling." According to the dealer, my part numbers match the recall, just not my VIN.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated while driving 45 mph, the vehicle loss motive power and stalled without warning. The contact restarted the vehicle and drove to his destination. The failure recurred several times. The contact called and notified the local dealer of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 165,000.

After filling fuel to proper level the vehicle shakes and as car continues to drive at normal speeds car shuts down and loses steering and power. This may be related to the fuel tank issue these have with the built in valves. The fuel pump works just fine so i know its not that. again symptoms only happen when filling the gas tank to full which is the proper level. I don't understand why this car was not recalled along with the rest. although I'm starting to be really hesitant of ever buying any dodge or Chrysler vehicle again.

MY VEHICLE STALLS AFTER I FUEL IT. I GOOGLED IT AND SAW THAT SIMILAR CHARGERS (2006 RTS WITH 5.7 LITER ENGINES) WERE PART OF A RECALL. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER RECALL CENTER AND THEY SAID MY VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED ON THE LIFETIME REPLACEMENT /FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE ISSUE WAS 'VIN SPECIFIC'. MY CAR DOES ALL OF THE SAME THINGS THAT THE RECALLED VEHICLES DO - IT STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS AND WHEN STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS RIGHT AFTER I FUEL IT. IT DOES NOT STALL/DIE AT HIGH SPEEDS, BUT INSTEAD 'SPUTTERS'. IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 20 MILES AFTER FUELING FOR THE STALLING/ 'DYING' TO STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT WAS GETTING A JUMPSTART TO THE VEHICLE AND AS HE WAS UNPLUGGING THE JUMPER CABLES, HE NOTICED THAT THERE WERE FLAMES COMING FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE ON THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT OUT THE FIRE AND A FIRE DEPARTMENT REPORT WAS FILED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 175,000.
