2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

ALTHOUGH THE RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED, CHRYSLER HAS NOT RELEASED THE REPLACEMENT PARTS TO ANY DEALER IN MY AREA (CENTRAL FLORIDA). FURTHER, THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NO DATE BY WHICH THEY EXPECT TO RECEIVE THE PARTS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

CAR STALLS AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, AT SPEED OR IDLING. NO CODES OR OTHER INDICATIONS. *TR

TYPICAL PROBLEM RELATED BY MANY AFTER REFUELING THE ENGINE DIES AND THUS, FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, I NEVER FILL TO MORE THAN 16 GALLONS. BUT, IF ONE TURNS LEFT WITH FUEL LEVEL AROUND 16 GALLONS, THE ENGINE QUICKLY DIES LEAVING THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITHOUT STEERING OR BRAKES. LEFT HAND TURNS NOW HAVE TO BE MADE AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AFTER REFUELING WHICH CAN ALSO CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS CLEARLY A RECALL ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS SORRY ISSUE WITH A PRESTIGIOUS AUTOMOBILE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP AT GAS STATION, CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC WHEN FUEL IS SUCKED INTO VAPOR RECOVERY SYSTEM. DEALER SAYS FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT IS NOT COVERED BY ANY RECALLS. *TR

MY CAR WILL STALL OUT WHILE DRIVING OR SITTING. I HAVE TRIED TO RESEARCH WHAT THE PROBLEM, OTHERS INDICATED A FUEL PURGE VALVE. MY CARS RUNS FINE OTHER WISE BUT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPEN. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY CAR LIGHTS WENT OUT. THE CAR JUST DIED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. DODGE SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

FULL TANK FILL FOR TRIP TO FLORIDA FROM NORTH CAROLINA. CAR STALLED WITHIN IN FEW BLOCKS FROM GAS STATION. RESTART AND STALL SEVERAL TIMES. LET IDLE FOR AWHILE AND NOTICED RPM'S GOING UP AND DOWN AT IDLE. FINALLY GOT GOING AND FUELED WITH A FULL TANK 2 TIMES ON WAY TO FLORIDA, SAME PROBLEM EACH TIME. CONTACTED DEALERSHIP IN DELAND FLORIDA AND WAS TOLD I HAD A FAULTY FUEL FLOAT AND WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE FUEL TANK OR I COULD WAIT UNTIL I GOT BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA. THEY SAID IF I ONLY FILLED TO 3/4 IT SHOULD BE FINE. I DID THAT AND GOT BACK TO NORTH CAROLINA. TOOK CAR TO DEALERSHIP IN GREENSBORO, NORTH CAROLINA. THEY WERE FAMILIAR WITH THIS PROBLEM. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BY FILLING FUEL TANK AND ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY CONTACTED CHRYSLER FOR WARRANTY. CHRYSLER DENIED IT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND GOT A CASE NUMBER. I TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD CALL ME BACK. NONE OF THEM CALLED BACK, SO I HAD TO MAKE CALLS. THEY DENIED FOR REASONS: VIN NOT COVERED, CAR BUILT IN WRONG MONTH, CAR HAS SALVAGE TITLE, NOT COVERED UNDER X53 OR CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN #14-002-14 ISSUED IN FEBRUARY 2014.. I ASKED FOR A LETTER OF DENIAL. THEY REFUSED. SAID I COULD CONTACT AN ATTORNEY IF I WANTED A LETTER. THE COST FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM WILL BE $1,250.00. I HAVE HAD DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES SINE 1969. NOT A WAY TO TREAT A GOOD CUSTOMER. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY GAS TANK AND DRIVING OFF THE GAS STATION LOT ONTO A MAIN ROAD MY CAR STALLED AND DIED ALMOST CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND ME TO RUN INTO THE BACK OF MY CAR. MY CAR CONTINUED TO STALL ALL THE WAY HOME. IT RESTARTED AFTER STALLING BUT PUT ME IN A VERY DANGEROUS POSITION. I COULD NOT DRIVE THE CAR ANYWHERE IN FEAR THAT IT WOULD STALL AGAIN. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE IT TOWED (MONEY WHICH I DO NOT HAVE) TO A SERVICE STATION WHERE THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A KNOWN ISSUE OF A FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM. I CALLED THE CAR DEALER AND THEY DID IN FACT ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND THE FUEL TANK WILL BE REPLACED AT NO CHARGE. I HAVE NOW BEEN WAITING SEVERAL MONTHS FOR A GAS TANK. THE DEALERSHIP HAS STATED THAT THEY ARE NOT RECEIVING ANY FUEL TANKS. I NEED MY VEHICLE TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO SCHOOL. I CAN NOT GET A JOB BECAUSE I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM. THIS IS REALLY PUT A HARDSHIP ON ME. I CALLED ANOTHER DEALERSHIP ONLY TO FIND THAT THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. WHY ARE THERE NO TANKS BEING SENT TO THE DEALERSHIPS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? I CAN NOT DRIVE A CAR THAT PUTS MY LIFE IN DANGER AS WELL AS THE LIVES OF OTHERS. *TR

CAR LOCKED IN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERED FOR 2-3 SECONDS THEN ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES SHUT DOWN THIS INCLUDED THE HEADLIGHTS AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING 55 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND THE CAR STOPPING. DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM BUT THE CAR WILL ALSO SURGE FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED LIKE I HAVE STEPPED ON THE GAS BUT MY FOOT WOULD BE ON THE BRAKE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT SCARES ME TO DEATH. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURE. DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. THIS WILL BE THE LAST DODGE I PURCHASE EVEN THOUGH I LIKE TO BUY AMERICAN MADE. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS. I WILL BE CALLING DETROIT WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR
