2006 DODGE CHARGER Complaints

AFTER REFUELING, CAR TENDS TO STALL, OR NOT AXCELARATE PROPERLY. CAUSING MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITHOUT POWER.. *TR

NOT LONG AFTER REFUELING THE CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND WAS HARD TO RESTART AND THEN STALLED 2 MORE TIMES WITHIN MINUTES. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 5 MORE TIMES AND ALWAYS SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE CARS STALLS AFTER GAS FILLUP. THE CARS STALLS IN TRAFFIC WHILE MOVING THE ENGINE SIMPLY STOPS. USUALLY RESTARTS WHEN TRIED. THE CAR ALSO "BUCKS" WHILE RUNNING AT TIMES ALSO AFTER A FILLUP. DODGE AGREED TO REPLACE MY GAS-TANK OUT OF WARRANTY AS A COURTESY TO ME IN 2012. I HAD TO PAY $100 OF THE REPAIR. I AM FILING THIS TO AID YOU IN TRACING THE DEFECTIVE GAS TANKS AS I HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT THIS IS A LARGE-SPREAD PROBLEM AND HAVE FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE WITH IT. MY PROBLEM WAS SOLVED BY THE NEW GAS TANK AND REPLACEMENT OF THE EVAPORATIVE CONTROL SYSTEM VAPOR TANK. I HAVE NO ISSUE AT THIS TIME BUT I AM CONCERNED THAT THE UNDERLYING ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN FIXED AND THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN AT SOME POINT. *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED MY CAR WITH (93 OCTANE FUEL) AFTER PUTTING THE CAR BACK ON THE ROAD ,AS IT IS MY SUMMER VEHICLE. I NEVER FILL PAST FIRST CLICK. I STARTED IT AND IT STARTED IDLING ROUGH 200-300 RPMS AND IT QUIT. I STARTED THE VEHICLE AND HAD TO GIVE IT SOME GAS TO GET IT TO GO AGAIN WHICH IT DID,CHALKED IT UP TO COINCIDENCE. I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS TRAFFIC AND NO SOONER DID I PULL OUT THAN DID IT STALL,NARROWLY MISSED BEING HIT BY A LARGE TRUCK,PUT IN NEUTRAL AND IT RESTARTED. HOWEVER IT DID NOT RUN VERY WELL IT WAS WHAT I CALL BUCKING AND SURGING AS I DROVE DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR WAS ALMOST UNRESPONSIVE AS FAR AS THROTTLE CONTROL ABOUT 15- 30 MPH. AS I LEFT THE CITY THE CAR STALLED AGAIN I ROLLED TO THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROADAND POPPED IT INTO NEUTRAL,IT RESTARTED AND IDLED NORMAL AGAIN. I WAS NOW ENTERING THE HIGHWAY TO GO HOME AND MADE IT HOME APPROXIMATELY 15 MILES AWAY. THE CAR SEEMED FINE AGAIN. I HAVE LONG HAD A STALLING ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVERY SINCE I PURCHASED IN JANUARY OF 2012. I HAVE TAKE CARE OF THIS CAR TO THE UTMOSTSTANDARD WHILE IN MY POSSESSION. THIS CAR IS IMMACULATE AND IS NOT A CLUNKER. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE STALLING ISSUE WHEN MAKING TIGHT TURNS AT PARKING LOT SPEED MOSTLY TO THE LEFT. THE ISSUE LIES IN THE FUEL TANK ITSELF THERE IS A VALVE ON TOP THAT FAILS AND LETS RAW GASOLINE INTO THE EMISSIONS VAPOR SYSTEM. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING! CHRYSLER NATIONWIDE IS GOING THROUGH 43 OF THESE TANKS ON AVERAGE A WEEK. THIS TELLS ME THERE IS A LARGE ISSUE. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THE TANK IS NOT CHEAP OR SIMPLE OR EASY TO INSTALL WITH AN AVERAGE BILL OF 1200 -1800 DOLLARS DEPENDING ON HOW MANY COMPONENTS ARE DAMAGED AS A RESULT OF THE RAW FUEL ENTERING A CLOSED SYSTEM.THERE ARE MANY CHRYSLER TSBS CONCERNING THIS CONDITION,I BELIEVE THEY UNDERESTIMATE THE SEVERITY OF THIS CONDITION. *TR

IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE FRONT TIE RODS REPLACED THREE TIME. AT CERTAIN SPEEDS MY VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE. GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS OR INTO EVEN THE SLIGHTEST POT HOLE THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE. WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP THE FRONT END WILL VIBRATE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED MY FRONT TIRES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND/OR ROTATED TO THE BACK DUE TO AN UNUSUAL WEARING ON THE TIRES. THE WEAR WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRES.THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN PARK POSITION AND THERE IT STAYED WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEAR TO ANYTHING AND HAD TO TAKE THE CONSOLE AROUND THE LEVER APART TO SHIFT GEARS. AND THE BRAKES SQUEAK ALL THE TIME EVEN AFTER HAVING THEM REPLACED AND THE ROTORS REPLACED AS WELL AS THE STRUTS. WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING IN IDLE, THE LIGHTS DIMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A SHORTAGE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM. I LET MY 17YR OLD DAUGHTER DRIVE MY CAR TO SCHOOL AND WHEN SHE GOT TO A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIS IS DANGEROUS, SO I DON'T LET HER DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE. MY SEATBELT LIGHT STAYS ON & BEEPS WHEN THE SEATBELT IS CONNECTED. THESE ARE ALL SAFETY ISSUES & CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. THESE ISSUES NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER REFUELING, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER EACH TIME AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

NOT SURE OF EXACT FIRST DATE OR MILEAGE THIS HAPPENED, BUT AROUND 12/17/12 AND 92,000 MILES I WENT TO GAS STATION AND FILLED TANK, THEN DROVE APPROX 1.5 MILES TOWARDS HOME, AND THEN WHILE GOING ABOUT 25 MPH ON SLIGHT DOWNWARD SLOPE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD VEHICLE STALLED OUT COMPLETELY WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I LET CAR SIT OFF FOR FEW MINUTES AND THEN IT RESTARTED, THEN I DROVE LESS THAN 0.5 MILES AND CAR STALLED AGAIN WHEN BACKING INTO GARAGE SO I DID NOT ATTEMPT TO RESTART AND PUSHED CAR INTO GARAGE SINCE NEVER EXPERIENCED THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM BEFORE ON THIS VEHICLE, OR ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED IN 20 YEARS. THEN SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN IN JAN 2013 RIGHT AFTER FILLUP, CAR STALLED WITHIN 100 YARDS OF PULLING OUT OF GAS STATION IN TRAFFIC, BUT WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT RAN ROUGHLY FOR FIRST FEW MINUTES AFTER RESTART. THEN HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MORE TIMES BETWEEN JAN - MARCH AFTER FILLUPS. THEN ON 4/17/13 HAPPENED FEW MINUTES AFTER FILLUP WHILE ON HIGHWAY RAMP AND VEHICLE ALMOST GOT HIT BY CARS COMING BEHIND ME WITH WIFE IN CAR. THAT TIME VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS, BUT LET SIT FOR FEW MINUTES AND THEN APPLIED GAS PEDAL AND STARTED, AND RAN ROUGH AGAIN FOR FEW MINUTES AFTERWARDS THEN SMOOTHED OUT. VERY LUCKY THAT TIME MY WIFE AND I DID NOT GET REAR ENDED BY CARS SPEEDING UP ON RAMP TO GET ON HIGHWAY SINCE HARDLY ANY SHOULDER AREA TO PULL OVER. SINCE THAT INCIDENT I HAVE BEEN FILLING UP TANK USING SLOWEST PUMPING SELECTION TO TRY AND AVOID STALLOUTS AFTER FILLUPS. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BASED UPON INFO I PULLED OFF WEB, AND ONLY PERMANENT RECOMMEND FIX WAS TO REPLACE GAS TANK AND ALL LINES SINCE THEY COME AS ONE ASSEMBLY UNIT, BUT THAT SOUNDS LIKE A DEFINITE MANUFACTURER'S DEFECT TO ME AS OPPOSED TO A NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE, AND SHOULD BE MADE INTO A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED. *TR

AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER, THE CAR STALLED WHILE TRAVELING OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND THE SPEED WAS APPOXIMATELY 20 MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND ONLY AFTER THE TANK HAS BEEN FILLED TO CAPACITY. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE THIS IS A FUEL OVERFLOW SENSOR ON THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK THAT IS CAUSING THIS. *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY CAR WITH FUEL AND UPON EXITING THE GAS STATION MY CAR STALLED. I PUT THE TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL AND COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I WAITED SEVERAL MINUTES AND RESTARTED THE CAR AND WENT ON MY WAY WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. I HAD BEEN AWARE OF A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE FOR THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH INFORMATION I GLEANED FROM INTERNET FORUMS AND THIS HELPED ME TO NOT PANIC WHEN IT EVENTUALLY HAPPENED TO ME. THIS EVENT HAPPENED IN THE EVENING WITH FAIRLY LIGHT TRAFFIC AND WITH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT IN MY FAVOR. HAD THE ROADS BEEN BUSIER AND THE TRAFFIC FLOWING NORTHBOUND AT THE TIME I MAY HAVE BEEN BROADSIDED BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED OR ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER TO DATE AS FAR AS I KNOW. *TR

IF I FILL UP MY CAR WITH GAS, IT WILL STALL AND HESITATE. AFTER DRIVING FOR A FEW MILES IT WILL STOP AND NOT HAPPEN AGAIN UNTIL I FILL IT UP AGAIN. IF I DON'T FILL IT ALL THE WAY, IT WONT DO IT. PLEASE FIX IT!!! *TR
