2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

AFTER RE-FUELING, MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER WILL STALL UNTIL THE CAR HAS BEEN DRIVEN 20-30 MILES. THE STALL WILL OCCUR AT ANY SPEED AND WILL STOP AFTER SOME FUEL HAS BEEN USED. I AM CONCERNED BECAUSE THIS STALL HAS OCCURRED AT BUSY INTERSECTIONS AND HEAVY TRAFFIC. I CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

FILLED UP FUEL TANK AND LET THE NOZZLE CLICK. LEFT THE GAS STATION, STOPPED AT A LIGHT, CAR STALLED. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS APPEARED. RESTARTED EASILY, AND I WAS DRIVING THROUGH THE INTERSECTION, AND AT ABOUT 15MPH, CAR STALLED AGAIN AND RESTARTED QUICKLY. I PULLED OFF THE ROAD, SAT FOR AWHILE WITH THE CAR RUNNING WITH NO FURTHER STALLING. CONTACTED A MECHANIC, AND WAS INFORMED THAT A VALVE IN THE EVAP CANISTER LOCATED WITHIN THE GAS TANK WILL GET STUCK, ALLOWING RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE SYSTEM, GIVING A FALSE READING TO THE ECM, INDICATING THE CAR IS RUNNING TOO RICH, AND WILL ADJUST, CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL. HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK(AS THE EVAP VALVE IS INTEGRATED WITHIN THE TANK), AND HAVE HAD NO FURTHER PROBLEMS SINCE. SEEMS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN, SINCE THERE IS NO INDICATION THAT CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL AND NO WAY TO DETERMINE THAT YOU NEED TO MOVE TO SAFETY, ESPECIALLY IF YOU WERE ENTERING TRAFFIC ONTO A FAST MOVING FREEWAY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THERE WERE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS BEFORE THE ENGINE WOULD RESTART AND THEN THE VEHICLE WOULD RESUME NORMALLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED ONLY AFTER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

WHEN TEMPS. WERE COLD LESS THAN 25 DEGRESS THE ACCELERATOR WOULD WOULD STICK AT 4,000 RPM. I COULD PUT MY FOOT UNDER THE GAS PEDAL AND LIFT IT UP TO A NORMAL IDLE. THE THROTTLE IS ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED. HERE IN MICHIGAN WITH MORE THAN 90" OF SNOW THIS SEASON AN ACCIDENT WAS WAITING TO HAPPEN, VERY UNSAFE. I TOLD THE DEALER WHAT WAS WRONG AND I EXPECTED A REPAIR $495.00 PARTS AND LABOR. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE 4 DAYS OF CONVERSATION GOT ME NOWHERE. I PAID A $99.50 FOR DIAGNOSES AND TOOK IT ELSEWHERE. THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. APON A UNDER HOOD INSPECTION THE CONNECTOR THAT PLUGGED IN THE FRONT OF THE AIR ITAKE WAS REMOVED, THROTTLE PLATE ACTUATOR. WHEN I DROVE IT IN I COULD ACCELERATE, MY 6 MILE RIDE HOME HAD A TOP SPEED OF 20 MPH AND 2 DASH LITES WERE ON. I WENT TO KEVIN [SERVICE WRITE UP] AND HE JUST BLAMED IT ON THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY...WRONG. THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY HAS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE, RUST OR ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.

ENGINE STALLS AND DIES AFTER FILLING UP CAR. USUALLY DIES 4 TIMES THAN NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL I FILL THE CAR UP AGAIN. I HAVE WORKED WITH MY MECHANIC FOR ALMOST 1 YEAR TRYING TO FIND THE PROBLEM. THE SOLUTIONS SO FAR IS TO NOT FILL THE TANK UP ALL THE WAY. CAR COMPLAINTS.COM SHOW THAT NHTSA IS INVESTIGATING THESE COMPLAINTS. SAYS THAT YOU HAVE CLOSED THE INVESTIGATION AND FOUND THE PROBLEM TO BE THE FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT IN THE MULTIFUNCTION CONTROL VALUE STIICKS. I CALL CHRYSLER ASSISTANCE ABOUT THE WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK BEING EXTENDED TO LIFE TIME TO COVER THIS PROBLEM BUT THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. LADY SAID SHE HAD RECEIVE 3 CALLS ABOUT THE PROBLEM IN THE LAST WEEK. BUT JUST TOLD ME TO CONTACT NHTSA. *TR

MY CAR STALLS AFTER REFUELING THE TANK. IT DOES IT AT STOPS AND SLOWING SPEEDS. IT HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF TURNS ETC. I T HAS ALMOST CAUSED ME TO CRASH. I WENT TO MY MECHANIC WHO IN TURN SAID I NEEDED AN ENTIRE FUEL TANK $1700. WHILE DEBATING ON THE HAVING IT FIXED OF COURSE CHECKING MY FINANCES. I WENT ON LINE AND SEEN NUMEROUS ARTICLES ABOUT THIS ISSUE. IN THE ARTICLES YOU GUYS ARE MENTIONED FOR HAVING DONE A FEDERAL PROBE INTO THE SITUATION AND CHRYSLER EXTENDING A WARRANTY ON THE PROBLEM TO LIFE TIME. WELL THEN I WENT TO THE DEALER AND BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION AND NOBODY KNEW ANYTHING ABOUT IT. THEY CHARGED ME $65 TO DIAGNOSE THE CAR AND PROCEEDED TO GIVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF $1900. THEY THEN GAVE ME THE NUMBER TO CHRYSLER WHO IN TURN KNEW NOTHING OF THE PROBLEM AND SENT ME ON MY WAY SAYING THERE IS NOT A PROBLEM AND NO WARRANTY. I NEED TO KNOW IF IN FACT THIS IS A LEGITIMATE CLAIM BY THE NHTSA IN THE ARTICLES OUT THERE. SOME OF THESE ARTICLES ARE AS RECENT AS OF FEBRUARY 2014. I HAVE ALMOST HAD TWO ACCIDENTS FROM THIS ISSUE. IT HAS TAKEN NUMEROUS SCENARIOS TO TROUBLE SHOOT THIS AND WHEN READING THE ARTICLES BROUGHT EVERYTHING TO LIGHT. PLEASE HELP. THE ARTICLES MENTION 2006 CHRYSLER 300,DODGE CHARGER, & DODGE MAGNUM WITH V8 5.7 & 6.1LITER ENGINES. THIS IS WHAT I HAVE. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY TANK I DROVE AWAY FROM THE STATION AND MY CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT TOOK A FEW ATTEMPTS BEFORE MY VEHICLE ACTUALLY STARTED AGAIN. I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD TOWARDS MY HOUSE AND IT STALLED ON ME AGAIN. THIS TIME I WAS A LITTLE FASTER TO TURN ON THE VEHICLE BUT IT STUTTERED ALL THE WAY HOME. THIS HAPPENS EVERY TIME I FILL MY TANK. TO BE SURE OF THE ISSUE I RAN MY GAS TANK TO HALF TANK AND REFILLED IT. THE SAME STALLING OUTCOME WAS PRESENT. I RECENTLY TOOK MY CAR IN FOR REPAIR OF THIS ISSUE BUT AFTER THE REPAIR IT CONTINUED WITH THE STALLING. AFTER THIS HAPPENED TO ME ON MONDAY MARCH 18, 2014 WHILE MY CHILDREN WERE IN THE VEHICLE I DECIDED TO GO BACK AND GET IT LOOKED AT AGAIN BY THE DEALER. MY CAR IS CURRENTLY (MARCH 19, 2014) AT THE DEALER FOR THE SECOND TIME TO TRY AND GET THIS ISSUE FIXED. I SEE ON YOUR WEBSITE THAT NHTSA ACTION NUMBER : PE13016 HAS BEEN FILED FOR THIS IDENTICAL ISSUE THAT I AM HAVING. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD GIVE ME THE LETTER TO OWNER FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE GAS TANK AND I WAS TOLD THAT I COULD NOT GET IT BECAUSE MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THIS ISSUE, YET MY CAR IS AT THE DEALER RIGHT NOW GETTING THIS SAME ISSUE FIXED. AS USUAL I FEEL THAT CHRYSLER IS TRYING TO IGNORE THE ISSUE AND NOT GIVE SUPPORT TO THOSE WHO HAVE PURCHASED THEIR PRODUCT. MY DEALER HAS BEEN HELPFUL BUT THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT COVER ME UNDER THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY UNLESS IT APPEARED WITH MY VIN # IN THE CHRYSLER SYSTEM. THIS ISSUE IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY IF YOU ARE FUELING UP NEAR A HIGHWAY AND THEN GETTING ONTO THE HIGHWAY. WHILE CHRYSLER CLAIMS THAT THIS IS LOW RISK TO MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY IT IS HIGH RISK TO HUMAN SAFETY. WE CAN REPLACE CARS, WE CAN NOT REPLACE PEOPLE. ALL I ASK FOR IS REIMBURSEMENT FOR A MANUFACTURE DEFECT OR AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND WE SLOWED DOWN FOR TRAFFIC. WE WERE GOING ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR WHEN WE GOT HIT FROM BEHIND. THE CAR WAS GOING 40 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR. THE WHOLE DASH - STEREO AND ETC CAME APART BUT NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED?? I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2013 SO EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN WORKING ORDER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER REFUELING. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED WHEN THE FUEL LEVEL WAS ABOVE 3/4 AND WHILE TURNING OR COMING TO A STOP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT A FAULTY ROLLOVER VALVE/VAPOR VALVE WAS ALLOWING FUEL TO ENTER THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND NO SOLUTION WAS OFFERED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

EACH TIME AFTER FILING THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLS AND ENGINE DIES BEFORE ABLE TO MAKE A LEFT OR RIGHT TURN OR TAKING OFF FROM STOP LIGHT. IT DOES THIS REPEATEDLY UNTIL DRIVEN A FEW MILES. STALLS AT THE MOST CRITICAL TIME WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. GETTING TO THE POINT NOW THAT THIS VEHICLE WILL BE JUNKED BEFORE I GET KILLED OR SOMEONE ELSE. CHRYSLER DOES NOT HONOR THEIR EXTENDED TANK WARRANTY UNDER THE AGREEMENT AS PER THE NHTSA AGREEMENT ON FEB.14,2014. THEREFORE AS A TAXPAYER THAT PAID FOR THEIR BAILOUT ,NEXT TIME LET THEM FAIL. NO MORE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS FOR MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS EVER. *TR
