I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T AND EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING, SOMETIMES AT SLOW SPEEDS OR ONCE YOU MAKE A COMPLETE STOP. IT HAS HAPPENED SINCE 2012. I TAKE CARE OF THIS VEHICLE. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS WHICH I CHANGED THE GAS OCTANE AND STILL THE SAME RESULTS. I THOUGHT THE ISSUE WOULD PASS BUT IT HASN'T. I HAVE STALLED IN TRAFFIC BY THE GRACE OF GOD I WASN'T HIT. TOOK THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES THEY STILL CAN'T SEEM TO FIND A REASON AS TO WHY IT STALLS. I TALKED WITH A GUY ONE DAY AND HE SAID THAT HIS WIFE CAR HAS DONE IT AND NOT TO FILL UP OR REPLACE THE ENTIRE FUEL SYSTEM. WHY WOULD I NOT FILL UP IF I'M TRAVELING ESPECIALLY OUT OF TOWN AND WHY REPLACE THE SAME FUEL SYSTEM THAT'S GOING TO EVENTUALLY GIVE THE SAME RESULTS. SOONER OR LATER SOMETHING BAD IS GOING TO HAPPEN AND SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. REALLY, WHO KNOWS IF IT'S GOING TO STALL EVEN IF YOU DON'T FILL UP AND STALL AT THE WRONG TIME AND SOMEONE GETS IN AN ACCIDENT GETTING SERIOUSLY INJURED OR POSSIBLY DEATH DUE TO SOMETHING AS FILLING UP A VEHICLE. RIDICULOUS YOUR LIFE COULD BE IN DANGER DUE TO PUTTING FUEL IN YOUR VEHICLE AND NO MATTER HOW MANY TIMES THERE'S A COMPLAINT ABOUT IT LOOKS LIKE NOTHING WILL GET DONE UNTIL SOMEONE ACTUALLY LOSE THEIR LIFE. MORE THAN LIKELY THAT'S HOW IT WORKS NOTHING IS EVER DONE UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS. THE CAR STALLED TODAY 4/26/2014. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WOULD STUMBLE, MISS AND START JERKING. WAS MAKING A 90 DEGREE RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN, I HAD NO POWER STEERING NOR BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS AS I ENDED UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET. CAR RESTARTED AND RAN A FEW FEET BEFORE THE STUMBLING, JERKING AND MISSING STARTED TO OCCUR ONCE AGAIN. AFTER READING UP ON THIS PROBLEM, I HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED, AS IT (THE TANK) HAD ALL OF THE SIGNS OF A BAD "ROLL-OVER" VALVE. THIS VALVE IS MOLDED INTO THE GAS TANK AND IS NON-REPLACEABLE. ONCE THE TANK WAS REPLACED, THE PROBLEM HAS GONE AWAY AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE SINCE. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK UP, I LEFT THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR STALLED OUT 7 TIMES. THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK UP. THE STEERING ALSO GOES OUT. THE CAR HAS A HARD TIME STARTING BACK UP ONCE IT HAPPENS. IT HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY ALSO. *TR

RIGHT AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION FROM FILLING UP MY CARS' GAS TANK MY ENGINE STALLED WHEN I CAME TO A STOP ON A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN BUT IT TURNED OFF ON ME AGAIN, REPEATED THE PROCESS TWICE UNTIL THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. DROVE AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD MAKING MULTIPLE STOPS TO SEE IT IF HAPPENED AGAIN IN WHICH THE ENGINE ONLY TURNED OFF ONCE MORE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED CONTINUOUSLY AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REFUELED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO HAS NOT DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.

UPON FILLING THE GAS TANK WITH GAS, I PULLED AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR SHUT OFF (STALLED) AFTER ABOUT A BLOCK OF TRAVEL. AFTER ABOUT 5 ATTEMPTS AND WAITING ABOUT 10 MINUTES OR THE CAR STARTED AND REMAINED STARTED. THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL THE GAS TANK (PROPER FILLING, NOT TOPPING OFF). I CANNOT FUEL UP WITHOUT FEAR OF THE VEHICLE STALLING SOON AFTER. *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING THE TANK. I THEN TOOK IT TO MY DEALER TO HAVE IT INVESTIGATED. IN REVIEWING THE NHTSA WEBSITE, I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN ALREADY BEEN INVESTIGATED AND CHRYSLER AGREED TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON "CERTAIN" HEMI VEHICLES WITH A 19 GALLON FUEL TANK. INVESTIGATION PE 13-016. UPON SHARING THIS INFORMATION WITH MY DEALER (DODGE OF NAPERVILLE), THEY INDICATED THAT MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER WITH A HEMI AND 19 GALLON TANK WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THIS RECALL AND I WOULD NEED TO PAY $1700 TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED. THEY SAID IF IT WAS RECALLED AT A LATER DATE, I COULD APPLY FOR REIMBURSEMENT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AFTER WORK MY VEHICLE STALLED OUT AND I LOST CONTROL. I HAD TO STRONG ARM THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO VEER ONTO THE EMERGENCY SHOULDER LANE. VEHICLES BEHIND ME SLAMMED ON THEIR BRAKES AND HONKED THEIR HORNS TRYING TO AVOID HITTING MY VEHICLE. PRIOR TO THE EVENT I FILLED MY GAS TANK. AFTER GIVING THE VEHICLE A FEW MINUTES I TRIED TO TURN THE IGNITION. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THE VEHICLE STARTED. I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE OVER 35 MPH AND THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND STALLED THE ENTIRE RIDE HOME. THAT WAS 3 WEEKS AGO AND THE ISSUE HAS WORSENED. MY VEHICLE IS STALLING IN MID-SECTIONS. IT'S SHAKING AND ALONG WITH THE FUEL LIGHT THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY DINGS. MY CODE READS ENGINE MISFIRING AND FUEL VALVE FAILURES. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO PINPOINT THE ISSUE AND TOLD ME TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE UNDER NHTSA.ORG. I HAVE ALMOST CAUSED SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AND I DO HAVE A SMALL CHILD I MUST TRANSPORT IN THIS VEHICLE AS WELL. IT SHOULD NOT TAKE A FATALITY FOR THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED BY THE PARTIES RESPONSIBLE. *TR
