This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Car will stall and not start after filling with gas. After awhile car will run but shut off randomly. This can happen while driving. Car has been stuck at intersections and will stall even doing highway speeds. All lights will appear on dash engine car will lose all power. Small ding before it dies.
After filling up the car with fuel (93 octane) the car stalls after a couple of minutes. This has caused unsafe situations as the car has stalled in the middle of intersections and on the road. This has happened consistently after filling up. The car does not start immediately after stalling. After a couple of minutes post stall, I am able to restart the car. At times, the car studders while moving. This all happens after topping off with fuel. The vehicle has approximately 106,000 miles.
My 2006 Dodge Charger has approximately 51,000 miles on it. Last fall when I filled it up with gas and left the station to go home, my car stalled 5 times on a very busy road just trying to go home. It always restarted. It now does the same thing every time I fill it up with gas. It will either stall once I leave the station (sometimes multiple times) or jerk back and forth when trying to drive it. So far it has always restarted, but I am very concerned about my safety if it happens to stall when driving or turning at an intersection and there is an accident because of it. I understand that their is a lifetime warranty on this problem on these vehicles (Extended Warranty X53); and I would like to get this problem taken care of before I get in an accident. I have read up on this problem on Dodge Forums and will be calling Dodge in the next few days to see about having this problem taken care of. This is a definite SAFETY issue and needs to be handled ASAP.
I've owned this car a little over a month. I filled up the gas tank today, after leaving the gas station the car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. thankfully no one was coming the opposite direction at the time before i could get the car restarted. at the next light it stalled again, and then was able to restart the car. i was able to pull into a parking lot to access any issues. nothing looked wrong visibly. while idling the car stalled again. i researched the issue and found other similar issues with this year and make of the car stalling after filling the tank. this is a huge safety issue as there was no warning and the car completely stalled and had no function. if cars were coming at me in the intersection or i was on the highway which was the next exit, it could have been worse for me and others on the road.
Since owning this car everytime I fill up the gas (not over filling) or even going above 7/8 of a tank, my car stalls 3-10 times and chuggs while driving. I have already replaced the purge valve with no luck. After doing much research it has come to my attention that there has been a recall on cars just like mine. But when I look up my Vin it says no recall available. I am terrified to drive my car after putting gas in because I don't want to get into an accident.
The failing component is the same one that only "some" 2006 Dodge Chargers were covered. Even though my failed parts match the failed parts of the recall, I don't qualify because Chrysler didn't pick my VIN as one to replace. So after filling my vehilce with gas I went to turn and in the middle of the intersection my car shut off and all systems went down, meaning I lost power steering and the engine stalled. It would not restart. Four people nearly died, because we were almost hit by a gravel train truck. In the middle of the intersection, and could do nothing..If you win the Chrysler VIN lotterey, yours gets fixed and if you don't have that VIN, too bad for you. So I have a car that has the potential to kill many people because. of a known safety issue that Chrysler fixed on some cars but not all cars. NHTSA allows a huge safety problem as one that impacts the entire operation of the vehicle to still be on the road without the recall applying to it? One second difference and I and 3 occupants would have been dead. ONE SECOND. No warning lights, no codes, the problem has been seen by every dealer in the USA according to the technicians that looked at my car. They said it's sad that money means more to Chrysler than Safety. It first started happening just a few weeks ago, I only drive in the summer with this car, so it is low miles also. According to the recall the fuel tank and it's system fail. QUOTE from CHRYSLER " a condition where the fuel shut-off float, in the multifunction control valve sticks, which may result in the vehicle stalling after fueling." According to the dealer, my part numbers match the recall, just not my VIN.
After filling fuel to proper level the vehicle shakes and as car continues to drive at normal speeds car shuts down and loses steering and power. This may be related to the fuel tank issue these have with the built in valves. The fuel pump works just fine so i know its not that. again symptoms only happen when filling the gas tank to full which is the proper level. I don't understand why this car was not recalled along with the rest. although I'm starting to be really hesitant of ever buying any dodge or Chrysler vehicle again.
My vehicle stalls after I fuel it. I googled it and saw that similar Chargers (2006 rts with 5.7 liter engines) were part of a recall. I called the Chrysler recall center and they said my VIN was not included on the lifetime replacement /fix for this issue. They told me that the issue was 'VIN specific'. my car does all of the same things that the recalled vehicles do - it stalls at low speeds and when stopped at traffic lights right after I fuel it. It does not stall/die at high speeds, but instead 'sputters'. it usually takes about 20 miles after fueling for the stalling/ 'dying' to stop.
Every time I fill my car up with gas and drive off from the gas station into on coming traffic the car will stall in the middle of the road I almost got hit in the side just yesterday. I got online and did some research and found out that there is a problem with the gas tanks on these cars that cause them to stall after putting gas in them.
Filled gas tank, did not top off. Left parking lot and the car died going down the road. Happened 3 times that day. Has happened many times since November 2020, didn't know you had complaint line. This left me with no steering or brakes. It has now gotten to the point of the car won't even start now. I am afraid that damage from this issue has 'taken' my car, as it will no longer start. We upkeep our vehicles with regular maintenance.
After filling the gas tank I can drive a few blocks and I'd sputters and dies the fuel pumps are fairly new. It starts back up and it sputters. It happens every time we fill the tank.it has been ongoing since we bought the car
2006 Dodge Charger daytona R/T randomly stalls while driving or parked. No check engine light gets produced. In that split second that it shuts off, the car loses power completely and no brakes or power steering. This is extremely dangerous, and Dodge should issue a recall immediately to fix this issue. Most sources point to a faulty gas tank that has a lifetime warranty now but should be recalled.
Car continues to stall at low speed, stop sign, light, etc. Im very cautious when I turn onto traffic for fear of car stalling and me getting hit. Had it to numerous mechanics and no one can pin point it. Usually stalls out 5-10 times on way to and from work everyday. I live about 4 miles from my job.
I filled my gas tank up and when I did as I was driving at around 15-20mph my car stalled on me and later on it shut off as I was coming to a stop this happens every time I fill my gas tank up.
