-the sunroof will not always close all the way. It will reopen itself upon exiting -my car stalls often whenever I accelerate, it seems the gas has to "catch up" this uncomfortable/unsafe.) home. Also, it is embarrassing for my car to 'conk out'. - I am currently broken down due to the fuel pumps' incorrect assertions of gas. Disappointed andneed assistance to repair said issues. Thank you
After filling gas a check engine light comes on and the vehicle stalls while being stopped at lights. The vehicle has had all emissions components replaced except for the evaporator canister and fuel tank. Unknown as of yet if the vehicle stalls under highway conditions, but close to being hit in the rear when vehicle stalls at traffic lights.
After refueling and if I leave the pump, but not the station, I experience bucking and/or stalling and loss of steering and brakes. This happens even up to a couple of miles of driving. My car bucks violently at highway speeds and even stalls. If I stop at a stop sign or light, it stalls. It happens on a soft or hard acceleration. I tried them both. If I do leave the station immediately, it will then happen on a city street, road, even on the interstate. It happens after every fill-up, so travel is not only unnerving, it's unsafe... losing steering or brakes. They told me not to top off at the gas pump. I don't. it happens on the flat, up hill, down hill, turning right or left, warm weather or cold weather, high or low humidity, it still happens. I was told that it is about a $1500 fix. If I had $1500, I wouldn't be driving a 13 year old car.
After filling up gas tank (not topping off at all) the car will stall randomly for about 15 minutes after fill up even while driving at higher speeds. Very dangerous. Steering is lost and even when restarting it takes a second for the transmission to engage when putting the car in drive. This has been happening with my vehicle for about a year now.
Engine shuts off at any speed. Spent over $6,000 at dealership still has same problem. Very very dangerous at freeway speeds lose of power steering and power brakes when the engineshuts down. Will restart and drive after malfunctioning.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. While driving 60 mph, the engine would shut off. The eas code indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who found a manufacturer recall pertaining to the fuel tank. The contact did not receive a recall notification. The manufacturer stated that they could not assist since the vehicle was too old. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled after fuel was added to the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to village Dodge, Inc. (819 NY-66, hudson, NY 12534, (518) 828-1585) and the failure was repaired. The stalling failure had not been resolved. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the vehicle's computer system misread that there was no fuel in the tank. As a result, all the electrical components shut off. The failure mileage was 54,000.
Filled up tank. Drove car for 1/2 hour approx 30 miles. While making a left hand turn at a low rate of speed the car stalled, shut it self off. The oil lamp and traction control light came on. Car would not fire back up. Took a few attempts. Upon restarting the car was running rough. Continue driving at very low speed attempting to turn into parking stall car again stalled and shut it self off. Felt the car was unsafe to drive home. Had it towed.
My 2006 Dodge Charger completely died on me while driving at 40 mph. Luckily I was alone on a city road but lost all control and felt I was barley braking and steering was near impossible. I was able turn everything off in the car and restart but it happened 3 other times within 2 miles. At one point while turning left on a highway it died; I was almost to a point to hitting other cars turning left in same direction and others behind me. I was able to drive 4 miles today without incident however after researching this exact issue among other Charger owners I searched for a recall and nothing has been said by Dodge. This issue doesn't seem to be from personal actions but a flaw in a system on this make/model. It has happened to me twice before a few years ago however I read something about a gas cap and felt it was isolated. After last night and reading blogs today I see that this is a wide spread issue and not caused by not maintaining a vehicle or bad driving. This is an issue in design or manufacturing. Had this happened in any other driving setting during rush hour someone could be seriously injured or killed. I notified Dodge and reported the issue but they said I would not be contacted and to keep receipts if something was wrong in case they do recall something. Why hasn't this been corrected after all these reports for the same issue to this many of the same vehicles? this has been happening since I reported it in Jan of 2017 on safercar.gov. No action or contact has been made.
After filling up with fuel my Charger will stall. It has happened 5 or 6 separate occasions over the past 2 years. I generally do not fill the car up all the way because of this. However just today I had the same problem after accidentally filling it. I do not top off the car when filling once the nozzle clicks off I stop. Today after getting gas I went to pull out into traffic and the car stalled. The power steering would not work the engine shut off and I was stranded halfway out into the lane of oncoming traffic. I put the car in park and restarted it and drove about 20 feet before it shut off again. This is a huge safety issue. I thought I was going to be hit. I did manage to get the car home which is about two miles away but I had to restart it four more times. I've got roughly 80,000 miles on the car I have always kept up with maintenance and with any repairs that needed to be done. I searched online to see if there was a recall for this problem but there doesn't seem to be even though a lot of people seem to be having the same problem not only with the Chargers but with three hundreds as well
Car stutters and shuts off after I fuel up my 19gal gas tank. Car turns off when idle after fueling up. Did see that for my make and model and year of car there were warranties extended for gas tank to be replaced with the same issue, never received a recall for my vehicle. And dealership will not touch my gas tank.
Car will shut off going 45 mph, at a stop light (0 mph) or when crossing traffic intersections for examples (at most going 10 or 15 mph). I will attempt to restart and the car will start up, stall up and then shut off again - when this happens, I lose power steering. I have to switch gears from drive to park and then turn the car off and then on again in hopes it will start. As you're driving, you can feel when the car is about to cut off, it throttles ahead a bit and revs, then the car beeps and turns off, while the gear is in drive and turning my wheel does nothing. I notice that this issue would usually happen after a fill up my gas tank, so I started only filling up halfway, but the issue still persists. This issue became heavily frequent yesterday where the car stalled and cut off at least 4 different times while making a 7 mile drive back home. This was very very scary in my eyes, especially with a passenger in my seat. This is a huge safety concern because the vehicle is shutting off while in motion and powering steering is lost. If this happens on the highway going 60+ miles per hour, or turning into oncoming traffic, there is a guaranteed accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. I believe there is an issue with the gas tank and the evap canister that causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling the engine, which shuts off the car. This was filed under NHTSA PE13-016 (which appears to be closed or inaccessible- https://www-ODI.NHTSA.dot.gov/acms/cs/documentlist.xhtml?docid=PE13016&doctype=inv). This safety concern really needs to be looked into.
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. After filling the vehicle with fuel, it stalled in traffic. Sometimes the vehicle would restart, but other times the contact would have to crank the vehicle several times to restart it while in traffic. The dealer (sterling Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram, 5504 I-49 frontage rd, opelousas, la 70570, (337) 942-1241) and the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle remained parked at the contact's house with no repairs completed. The failure mileage was 170,000.
I have had this 2006 Dodge Charger for a while.now it's been stalling and sometimes shutting off for no reason. Me and my 3 year old grandbaby was at a red light and the light turned green, I started to go car stalled and shut off. No was behind me at the time, so I was trying to get it to start, when I looked up. Saw a truck flying up on us. Thank god no one was beside us or he would of rear ended us. My boyfriend is a mechanic.he has worked for Chrysler for over 32 years. He can't seem to find the cause of it. No codes nothing. He can't talking to half of the bus. We replaced throttle body, tcm, PCM and some other things. Still nothing has helped. I have owned two other Chargers. This one is a night mare. Please do something. I'm getting to the point I'm scared to drive it.
After fueling gas tank to full level the car starts and runs fine for approximately two blocks down the street then the engine abruptly shuts off and stalls in traffic (dangerous). The vehicle requires restarting twice more before it will run normally. This happens every time the gas tank is fully filled. No problem if the tank is filled less than full. This has occurred the last three times gas tank was fully fueled. 2006 Dodge Charger srt8 6.1L hemi.
Takata inflators. When I fill the tank with gas and start driving it will sputter, jerk and stall. When it stalls and I finally get it started, I press on the gas lightly it doesn't move and then it lunges forward. This just started in the last month, but it now happens every time I fill the tank for about the first 20-30 miles driven. I've read that his is an issue with these cars. I also see the warranty has been extended to many vehicles regarding this issue but on this particular car there is no recall for this VIN. The car has 57500 miles on it.
The vehicle stalls while driving, no matter the speed, and the power steering goes out when vehicle stalls preventing me from being able to steer the vehicle. This has happened several times, even on the interstate with other fast moving vehicles behind me, and is very dangerous. I have had different parts replaced trying to fix the problem, and was told the entire fuel tank will have to be replaced to solve the problem. I went online to see if other Dodge owners experienced the same problem, and was amazed at the thousands of people complaining about the exact same thing. This website is one of many. Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T4117_ds539199 the problem seems to start after 90,000 miles. There should be a recall to fix this problem before someone gets killed.
Filled up my 2006 Dodge Charger 5.7L hemi V8 today and I got out of the gas station parking lot then it stalled out and died. I had my two small children with me, and I was on an extremely busy houston street having to try to get my car home with it repeatedly dying anytime I had to slow down to come to a stop at a light or accelerate from a stop. This has never happened before, and the vehicle was running fine until I filled it up. I did not over fill, I never top off.
My car has a constant smell of exhaust fumes in the cabin. This odor is most prevalent when you first start the car and remains.the odor is strongest when the car is started and the ac is on, the odor is made worse by switching the ac selector to pull in air from outside the vehicle. This greatly concerns me because I dont want to be engaging deadly methane fumes.Dodge told me they would diagnose the issue for 130 but I feel a safety risk such as this should be examined free of charge by the manufacturer before some is poisoned or dies
The car stalls after filling up the fuel tank. Dodge has extended the warranty on these tanks but says my car is not covered. This is a safety issue, I have had it stall on the highway and in traffic. I don't understand why this isn't a safety recall.
