The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. While driving various speeds, the valve inside of the fuel tank allowed raw fuel to enter into the fuel lines, which caused the vehicle to stall without warning. The dealer (mclnerney's woodhaven Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep located at 23940 allen rd, woodhaven, Michigan, 48183) stated that the failure was under recall; however, the vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000.
After filling the gas tank and driving home, the car stalled on the street in front of my home. Took 3-4 time to get it started again. Could have had an accident.
Immediately after a fuel fill up the engine will stall several times in forward or reverse. This will continue until the engine has operated for 4 to 5 minutes. The engine has failed on me several times at intersections and when pulling onto roadways...very dangerous place to stall. There have been many reports made to the nhtsb and Dodge forums on this issue. I just had my fuel cannister replaced and the problem remains.

While merging onto the interstate my engine shut completely off; I lost power steering and all throttle control. After pulling onto the side of the road I was able to turn the ignition on and drive away like normal. I have a 5.7L hemi and the car has 37,700 miles.
Vehicle stalls out while driving or sitting at traffic control devices. Sometimes after refueling. Mostly at times while driving 55 or 60 mph and while slowing to turn causing the car to lose all powers. Check engine light, oil and etc all come on when this happens. This vehicle only has 48,000 original miles. Very dangerous while driving with my precious grandbabies in the car. Have had to the car to two Dodge dealerships and they can not find a problem. I have even replace the computer and it did not correct the performance of the vehicle.
On Feb 25th I put gas in my vehicle, later that day I noticed a high gasoline scent from my car. Ie; 10 days prior I had my vehicle serviced at my local arrigo Dodge dealership. I waited until the next to see if the smell had gone away, assuming I had put bad gas in my car. The next day before I could open my car doors I could smell the gasoline from standing outside my car. Still assuming I had bad gas I decided to drive out as much of the gas as possible. When I realized the smell would not go away, I went online and did some research, which lead to this being a common problem with the Dodge vehicles, I watched multiple videos and read multiple comments. On Feb 27th I followed some steps from videos. I took my back seat out lifted the guard and pulled of the fuel pump cover, and low and behold there was gas. This is a fire hazard. I drive my mother and my daughter in my car, anything could have happened. I called Dodge customer service on Feb 28th to report the problem to see if there was a recall, seeing that I was not the only one with this issue and complaint. Dodge was not much help. This problem that Dodge ignores has cost me emotional distress and more money than I expect to spend to fix. Dodge shows no interest or care in this case as this being a hazard. I am completely disappointed in the way Dodge is dealing with this issue. The representative that I spoke with did not give me any for of ease or comfort or offer any assistance on how this can be fixed. While it may seem like an easy fix to that rep, this problem goes beyond just fixing. Its a fire hazard and Dodge needs to look further into this. Maybe when something drastic happens on this account I guess that when it may matter to this company. I my self have taken multiple pictures and videos.
After filling the fuel tank and pulling into traffic the car stalls which is very dangerous considering cars approaching or following you could crash into you. This happens each time I fuel up.
The last time I filled up my car, it kept stalling and I would lose power steering and brakes while in traffic with my children in car. Not very safe feeling. Scared I was going to get hit with family in car. It would start up but it would keep stalling until I ran a few gallons out of it. I filled it up again today and noticed a sucking noise coming from gas tank. It started up then stalled as I took off. So I pulled over and kept starting it up every time it stalled. After about an hour of not stalling I drove home and parked in garage. It would stall going straight and turning.
After filling fuel tank the vehicle would sputter and stall at stop light. Although it would restart it continues this pattern of stalling at streetlights or coming to a stop.
Engine stalls several times immediately after filling gas tank. This is very dangerous because you loose steering and power brakes in traffic. The Dodge dealer says that it does this because there is gasoline in the vapor canister. I believe this is because something in the fuel tank is causing fuel to get into the canister where it does not belong. Changing the canister is not going to solve the problem. I am afraid to drive the car and I'm afraid to buy another Dodge or Chrysler.
My car completely shut off on me as I was driving it. This happened to me on 01/13/17 as I was leaving the gas station (after refueling). I was merging onto the freeway at the time, which turned out to be a blessing as I was able to merge into a safe location on the highway. After reading about similar cases online, I found this to be a recurring issue in the 06 Chargers / Chrysler models. This is definitely a major safety concern. Why has there not been a recall yet ??
2006 Dodge Charger has a known issue involving vehicle stalling if the gas tank is filled. Dodge negotiated a lifetime warranty for repair of this defect in lieu of a recall. I was not notified of this warranty. My fuel pump has failed due to chronically running hot due to inability to fill the gas tank. The fuel pump design depends on the cooler temperature of the gasoline in the tank to keep it cooled. In other words, not being able to keep adequate gas tank levels has directly led to fuel pump overheating and failure. Dodge will not cover the cost of fuel pump repair but will replace the fuel tank that caused the damage. The vehicle was in motion leaving the parking lot at.
After filling up at a gas station, the car will stall out randomly at all speeds of travel. This is a huge safety issue that has sht down the car while merging onto freeway in front of semi-trucks only to have power steering and propulsion stop. Luckily truck was paying attention and honked and swerved around, while I rode off onto the shoulder. Then it restarted, ran for another minute and stalled again while trying to get back off the shoulder. I ended up letting it idle for 5 min before being able to merge successfully and get home. Online I have seen many people saying they have same or similar issues with their 2006 Dodge vehicles as well. Please help to get this resolved as this could have very well killed someone.
My 2006 Dodge Charger rt stalls intermittently while I'm turning a corner on a city street or stopped at a red light. When it stalls, I do not have power steering. This is extremely dangerous because I could get hit. Sometimes it stalls more often after I fill up with gas. I do not overfill. I have been filing my gas tank the same way for 10 years and until October of 2016 it has never been a problem.
While sitting at the traffic light it cuts off. While driving, the vehicle cuts off. This has been going on since 2014. I have taken it to darcars hillcrest hgts and new carrollton but nothing has been done and they have yet to tell me what the problem
