2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

ON THE LAST 2 OCCASIONS OF FILLING OUR VEHICLE WITH GAS THE CAR WILL PURGE AND STALL, LOOSING ALL POWER. I HAPPENS FOR A COUPLE DAYS AND THEN GOES AWAY. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY CANNOT FIND ANY CODES, THEY ALSO TOLD US DO NOT FILL THE TANK. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THIS AND I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE ANYMORE. I HAVE NOT BEEN FILLING THE TANK AND SO FAR SO GOOD BUT NOT THE ANSWER. ITS VERY SCARY TO JUST STALL AFTER FILLING YOUR CAR WITH GAS AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO. I NEED HELP.. *TR

VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND ENGINE STOPS RUNNING AFTER FILLING WITH GAS. REPORTED PROBLEM TO DODGE AFTER SEVERAL INSTANCES, ONCE GOING 50 MPH WHEN CAR COMPLETELY DIED WHILE IN TRAFFIC JUST MISSING GETTING REARENDED. DODGE STATES THERE IS A FUEL TANK PROBLEM AND A REPLACEMENT IS NEEDED AT A COST OF 1500.00 THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED, AS THERE ARE NUMEROUS INCIDENTS LISTED ON THE INTERNET. I HAVE TO FILL MY CAR TO ONLY THE 3/4 FULL MARK TO KEEP IT RUNNING WITHOUT INCIDENT. *TR

VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHEN STOPPED AT STOPPED OR WHEN SLOWING DOWN . I HAVE HAD PCM, ECM, COILS, AND SPARK PLUGS AND STILL EXPERIENCING SAME SHUT OFF. *TR

I WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION AFTER I FILLED UP THE CAR WITH GASOLINE AND THE ENGINE STALLED. I PLACED THE TRANSMISSION IN PARK AND TURNED ON THE CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC, DROVE TO THE STOP LIGHT AND THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. THE CAR KEPT STALLING EVERY TIME I WOULD STOP FOR THE NEXT THREE MILES. THE CAR RAN FINE UNTIL I TOPPED OFF THE FUEL TANK AND THEN THE CAR BEGAN STALLING AGAIN. THE CAR STALLS AT EVERY STOP FOR THE NEXT TWO TO THREE MILES EVERY TIME THAT I TOP OFF THE FUEL TANK. I CANNOT AND HAVE NOT TOPPED OFF THE FUEL SINCE THEN FOR FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL STALL AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT IMMEDIATELY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE IT STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

REFILLED WITH FUEL AND AS I WAS PULLING OUT ON TO THE STREET THE CAR STALLED. I RESTARTED AND BEGAN TO DRIVE. IT STALLED A 2ND TIME. AFTER I GOT IT STARTED AGAIN IT SEEMED OK. EVERY SINCE THEN, EVERY TIME I FILL UP IT STALLS OUT. I HAVE TO SIT IN THE GAS STATION LOT AND LET IT RUN UNTIL IT STALLS OUT. I AFRAID TO DRIVE ON THE STREET AS I MIGHT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. AFTER IT STALLS OUT A COUPLE OF TIME IN THE GAS STATION LOT, IT DOESN'T DO IT AGAIN UNTIL I FILL UP AGAIN. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP VEHICLE WITH GAS CAR WOULD QUIT RUNNING AS I ENTERED HIGHWAY. CAR SHUT OFF SITTING AT SEVERAL TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO GET UP TO SPEED CAR WAS STALLING. AFTER ABOUT 30 MILES OF DRIVING WHEN GAS RAN OUT OF TANK CAR WAS FINE. REFUELED YESTERDAY AND SAME PROBLEM ISSUE IS DEFECTIVE GAS TANK AND WITH NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS CHRYSLER HAS NOT DONE A RECALL TO FIX VEHICLES. *TR

LIKE A NUMBER OF OTHERS IN THE DATABASE WE HAD JUST FILLED THE GAS TANK AND DRIVEN A FEW MILES. AFTER STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT WE ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN. WE JUST CLEARED THE INTERSECTION WHEN THE CAR BUCKED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE ENGINE DIED. WE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND ATTEMPTED TO START THE CAR. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES THE CAR STARTED UP, IDLED OK, AND WE PROCEEDED ON. THE NEXT TIME WE FILLED UP THE CAR THE SAME THING HAPPENED. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET WE FOUND THE DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM AS LIQUID GAS GETTING INTO THE FUEL VENT LINE WHEN THE GAS TANK WAS FILLED. WE SUBSEQUENTLY GOT GAS TWICE WITHOUT TOTALLY FILLING THE TANK AND HAD NO PROBLEMS. THE INTERNET SITE WE FOUND INDICATED THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE EITHER THE PURGE SOLENOID VALVE OR A VALVE INTEGRAL TO THE GAS TANK. SINCE THE PURGE SOLENOID VALVE WAS THE CHEAPER FIX WE TRIED THAT FIRST. THAT FIX WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL AS THE CAR STALLED AFTER BEING FILLED UP. WE REPLACED THE GAS TANK YESTERDAY, FILLED THE GAS TANK, AND HAD NO STALLING OR HESITATION. SO, IT APPEARS THAT THE PROBLEM IS FIXED. HOWEVER, I COULD ENVISION A NUMBER OF SITUATIONS WHERE ONE COULD BE IN A LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION IF THE CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION OR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON THE INTERSTATE. SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A WELL-KNOWN PROBLEM I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. *TR

ENGINE DIES WHEN AT AN IDLE AND LOW SPEEDS. CRANKS RIGHT BACK BUT WILL DIE AT LOW MPH. ALMOST ALWAYS DIES AT RED LIGHTS AND STOP SIGNS. ALSO DIES WHEN ABOUT TO MAKE TURNS AT LOW MPH. DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG. HAS BEEN DOING THIS FOR ALMOST A YEAR. *TR
