2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER IS STALLING ON ME EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN IT. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD,

HEADLIGHTS AND DASH RANDOMLY FLICKER AND SHUT OFF WHILE CAR IS ON AND WHILE DRIVING. TESTING INDICATES THE PROBLEM IS IN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OR WIRING TO THE SWITCH. WHEN HEADLIGHT SWITCH REMOVED, HEADLIGHTS ARE IN ALWAYS ON MODE, AND THERE IS NO FLICKERING OR SHUTTING OFF. HEADLIGHT SWITCH MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL FLICKERS WITH NEW SWITCH/KNOB. DEALER UNABLE TO FIND AND FIX ISSUE DUE TO INTERMITTENT NATURE OF PROBLEM. SEVERE PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AND NIGHT AND LIGHTS TURN OFF. PROBLEM ALSO IS IRRITATING AS IT LOOKS LIKE I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT OTHER VEHICLES.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY LIGHTS TURNED OFF MY HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS HAD TO HOLD MY BRIGHTS ON BECAUSE THEY WOULDNT STAY ON BY THEMSELVES, MY DASH SPEEDOMETERS HAD KEPT GOING UP AND DOWN AS IF MY CAR WAS DYING ALMOST HIT A DEER DUE TO NO HEADLIGHTS AND DRIVING AT NIGHT.

THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT INTERMITTENTLY WHEN STARTING THE VEHICLE, THE GEAR SHIFTER WOULD BECOME DIFFICULT TO SHIFT OUT OF THE PARK POSITION.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FAILURES AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

VEHICLE STALLS AND DIES 6-8 TIMES IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING TANK WITH FUEL. IT DOES THIS EVERY TIME I FILL IT. PURCHASED CAR ON 7/27/2019. RECALL ON AIRBAGS ACTUATOR WAS REPAIRED AT DEALERSHIP BUT IS NOT SHOWING AS DOCUMENTED ON YOUR WEBSITE.

CAR STALLS AFTER FILL UP. PULL INTO TRAFFIC AND YOU LOSE STEERING BREAKS ECT. NEED TO PUT IN PARK TO RESTART. WILL CONTINUE AND MISS AND STALL FOR ABOUT 5 MILES. ONCE YOU RUN SOME FUEL OUT OF THE CAR IT RUNS EXCEPTIONAL UNTIL THE NEXT FILL UP.

THE FIRST TIME MY MOTOR FAILED I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 70MPH AND SOMEONE CUT ME OFF I HIT THE BRAKES GOOD ENOUGH TO BARELY AVOID THEM CRASHING INTO ME , WHEN I TRIED TO PUSH THE THROTTLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE MOTOR STARTED JUMPING BACK AND FORTH LIKE IT WANTED TO JUMP OUT OF THE ENGINE BAY , TOOK IT TO DODGE AND THEY SAID TWO OF MY CYLINDERS WERE ONLY RUNNING AT HALF THE COMPRESSION MEANING I HAD A VALVE ISSUE LIKE THESE CARS ARE WELL KNOWN TO HAVE NOW. WELL $5,000 LATER I GOT MY CAR BACK FROM DODGE WITH ONE HEAD REPLACED , JUST ABOUT 60K MILES LATER THE OTHER HEAD FAILED ON ME AND TRAVELED INTO MY OTHER HEAD DESTROYING THAT ONE AND MY PISTONS , JUST SPENT $9,000 TO HAVE THE MOTOR REPLACED AND NOT EVEN A 1,000 MILES LATER I'M HAVING THE SAME ISSUE . THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE I STILL OWE MONEY ON THE CAR AND I'VE SPENT UPWARDS OF $14,000 TO KEEP THIS CAR RUNNING . IT'S LEFT ME WITH NO WAY TO GET ME TO WORK IT'S LEFT ME STRANDED I'VE LOST A JOB BECAUSE I COULDN'T BE THERE I'VE MISSED OUT ON OPPORTUNITIES IN LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS CAR I'M 23 YEARS OLD AND THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON 4 YEARS NOW . I MAKE MINIMUM WAGE WORK 50HRS A WEEK THIS CAR HAS TAKEN A YEARS WORTH OF SALARY FROM ME AND MADE MY LIFE SO STRESSFUL I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH , THIS HAS MADE MY LIFE VERY DIFFICULT IN THESE PAST 4 YEARS ... THE CAR IS CURRENTLY DOWN BECAUSE CYLINDER #2 ONLY HAS ABOUT 90PSI AND I DON'T KNOW WHY TO DO ANYMORE ... I HAVE NO CAR I WALK OR TAKE THE BUS TO WORK EVERYDAY I CAN NOT DO THIS MUCH LONGER ..

BOUGHT THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WE FILLED WITH GAS A COUPLE MILES FROM THE DEALER. WHEN LEAVING THE GAS STATION THE CAR STALLED IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THANKFULLY, THE OTHER DRIVERS AVOIDED HITTING US UNTIL WE GOT IT RESTARTED. THEN AT HIGHWAY SPEED THE CAR AGAIN STARTED BUCKING AND CHOKING. RESEARCH ONLINE SHOWS THIS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. THIS IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT CONCERNS ME GREATLY!

I TOOK MY 06 CHARGER IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL AND WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER MY CAR SHUT OFF AT EVERY LIGHTS AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF GOING 40 50 MILES AN HOUR. IT CONTINUES TO DO THAT MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT SO MANY OF THE 6TH GENERATION DODGE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY A PROBLEM THAT CAUSES YOU TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IS NOT ADDRESSED. FIRST IT START TELLING ME THAT IT WAS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEM, THEN IT'S NOW TELLING ME THAT IS A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE AND THE ECM. THIS HAPPENED EXACTLY ONE MINUTE AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER GETTING MY AIRBAGS RECALLED. IT STALLS AT WHEN STATIONARY, WHEN MOVING, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, AND EVERY COUPLE MINUTES. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING ADDRESSED.
