2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

THE ENGINE STALLS WHILE IDLING OR DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY AROUND CORNERS. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS WHEN GAS TANK IS FULL OR NEAR FULL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND NEEDS RESOLVED IMMEDIATELY. *TR

I JUST FINISHED REFUELING ALMOST TO FULL. VEHICLE STARTED PERFECTLY. DROVE APPROXIMATELY 2 BLOCKS AT 15 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND SHUT OFF. IT TOOK 3 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART. I DROVE APPROXIMATELY 4 MORE BLOCKS AT 15 MPH WHEN THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED AND SHUT OFF AGAIN. I HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE REPAIR SHOP THAT I USE. THE MECHANIC AT THE SHOP DROVE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF 2 TIMES WHILE THE MECHANIC DROVE IT. VEHICLE WAS SCANNED FOR CODES. NO CODES WERE DISPLAYED. THE MECHANIC CLEANED OUT THE THROTTLE BODY. VEHICLE HAS BEEN OPERATING PERFECT SINCE THAT TIME. ONE OTHER NOTE. ONE MONTH PRIOR, WITH 3/4 TANK OF FUEL, FUEL GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPPED TO EMPTY AND CHIMING SOUND BEGAN RINGING FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS. VEHICLE DID NOT STALL OR SHUT OFF. FUEL GAUGE THEN SUDDENLY RETURNED TO 3/4 FULL AND CHIMING SOUND STOPPED RINGING. *TR

MY CAR HAS BEGUN STALLING IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BAD FUEL THE FIRST TWO TIMES IT HAPPENED BUT I HAVE NOW HAD THIS OCCUR 5 OR 6 TIMES. THE FIRST COUPLE MILES AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION, THE CAR WILL STALL BOTH WHILE IDLING AT A RED LIGHT, AND WHILE ACCELERATING.. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST THREE TIMES NOW. TWICE FOR SURE LEAVING A GAS STATION THE FIRST TIME I WAS APPROACHING A STOP SIGN LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND IT STALLED OUT. MOST RECENTLY I WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND HAD MADE IT OUT ON THE ROAD AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN THE VEH STALLED. I MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER AND SHUT IT DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AGAIN. IT DIED AGAIN ABOUT 150 FT LATER. LUCKILY THIS WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY MECHANICS SHOP. HE LOOKED AT IT TODAY AND TOLD ME I NEED A NEW FUEL TANK BECAUSE RAW FUEL IS GETTING PUSHED UP THROUGH THE VAPOR VALVE. I NOW SEE I'M NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE. CLEARLY IT'S A PROBLEM WITH THE VALVE. *TR

EVERY TIME I FUEL UP MT CHARGER R/T, IT STALLS WHEN I AM STOPPED. IT HAS HAPPENED THE LAST 3 TIMES I HAVE FUELED MY CAR. NO LIGHTS COME ON IN DASH, NOR ANY WARNINGS. SOMETIMES IT WILL JUST SPUTTER WHEN I GO TO TAKE OFF. AFTER A DAY IT GOES BACK TO NORMAL. *TR

ON 10/30/13 MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER STALLED ON A MAJOR STREET WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAD JUST FILLED THE GAS TANK AND WAS DRIVING BACK TO WORK. I HAD REACHED A SPEED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 40-50 WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND PULL INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND SHUT IT OFF. I WAS SHAKEN BY THE EVENT, AFTER COLLECTING MY THOUGHTS I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR THINKING IF I LET IT IDLE FOR A BIT IT MIGHT BE ALRIGHT. THE CAR RAN MOMENTARILY THEN SORT OF CHOKED AND JOLTED THEN DIED. I TRIED ONCE MORE BUT TO NO AVAIL THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY CALLED THE FOLLOWING DAY STATING THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND WE COULD PICK IT UP. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE ABOUT THIS SAME TIME LAST YEAR ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. STALLING SEVERAL TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN BOTH INCIDENCES. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS I HAVE JUST FILLED THE TANK USING PREMIUM FUEL. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE AWARE OF A PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM THERE ARE CURRENTLY 54 CLAIMS ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE DEFINITELY IS A PROBLEM AND I PRAY THAT SOMEONE FINDS A SOLUTION BEFORE SOME IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER. *TR

MY CAR WILL STALL INTERMITTENTLY FOR THE FIRST 2-3 DAYS AFTER I FILL THE FUEL TANK. USUALLY AT A STOP, BUT IT HAS HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TWICE. *TR

THE CAR BUCKED AND ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL ENTERING THE FREEWAY. THIS HAPPENED AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL AT THE GAS STATION. THIS CONDITION HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORST. WHEN I FILL UP, I CAN ONLY FILL TO APPROXIMATELY 3/4 FULL TANK IN ORDER TO PREVENT STALLING WHEN STOPPING OR ACCELERATING AROUND A TURN. APPARENTLY THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE ROLL OVER VALVE ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. IT STOPS WORKING OVER TIME AND ALLOWS RAW FUEL TO ENTER THE EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM THAT IS ONLY DESIGNED TO HANDLE VAPORS. THIS CAUSES THE BUCKING, STALLING CONDITION. THIS CONDITION IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. THIS VALVE IS NOT A SERVICED ITEM AND ONLY COMES WITH THE FUEL TANK. THE COST OF A NEW FUEL TANK IS ABOUT $800 + LABOR. DODGE SHOULD REPLACE THE TANK FOR A MINIMAL FEE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. PLEASE PURSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED DUE TO THIS ISSUE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE CAR AND PULLED OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY OF THE GAS STATION HAD APPROACHED THE INTERSECTION MAKING A LEFT TURN THE OIL LIGHT WENT ON AND VEHICLE DIED SUDDENLY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO GET REPAIRS, WAS TOLD AT FIRST IT WAS THE OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. WHEN REPLACED THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON WITH A CODE READING THE OIL PRESSURE SENOR LOW VOLTAGE. NOW THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE CONNECTOR/HARNESS THAT I WAS TOLD CHRYSLER-DODGE NO LONGER MAKES THAT PART. VERY COSTLY REPAIR. *TR

SHORTLY AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED REPEATEDLY WHEN STOPPING. *TR
