My vehicle begins to stall out at low speeds or while idling. While slowing down for a light or just waiting for the traffic light to change. I brought the vehicle to the Chrysler dealership at gwinnette Chrysler stone mountain Georgia and the problem was diagnosed to be the fuel tank needing replacement after paying $3000 dollars for repairs that did not resolve the issue. I was then given a final diagnosis that the fuel tank was the issue and it was going to cost $4500 to replace. Today is April 1 and I just picked up my vehicle after it was sitting in the dealership for almost 1 month and still the problem has not been resolved. Please help me. My vehicle is sitting in my driveway with a car cover because I am afraid to drive it in this condition.

I purchased this car 2 years ago with the title, just having it at my parents house because I have another car. I drove it back to memphis on the highway and it jerked, cut the car off turn it back on it drives no more than 30 mph. Got a reading at 2 different auto zones, and got a tune up, oil change, and wire coils that go with the car. Still the same problem. So I drive the car back to my parents house a hour away from memphis and it's going slow, so of course law enforcement had some questions that almost allowed me to get the car towed at the times with the coronavirus going on as well.. so, after I get my slow car out the impound, I looked on cars.com and I see a previous recall on my car that I didn't see at the time or purchase or had any idea of, that might be a little to late to fix even though these the exact same problems I'm having at this present moment. My car jerks back when trying to put it in the reverse or drive. So, I go back to autozone, in the little town because now I'm afraid to move my car because of the danger it's in. Autozobe don't want to do the reading so I do it myself because they're not allowed to get into people cars at this time. So, keep in mind I've got the work done to the car and I'm coming back to confirm that I did do those things. The man who worked at autozone told me it was something with my wiring, and to take it back to the dealership because they cannot find the part needed in the store I seen it with my own eyes the screen turn blank. Took it to Dodge, they just replace the air bags, and of course offer to make me spend money. I told them about the previous recall on my car and no one helped even though there is a maximum 10 years. But if these cars are still selling and being used there shouldn't be any time frame for the problem to be fixed because the car is now unsafe and unusable, and the owner out of money.
2007 Dodge Charger 5.7 170,000+ miles stalling immediately or shortly after fueling without warning while in drive. Identical to same issues in the 2006 models. Car is in motion each time it has stalled on city streets in heavy traffic. Car threw evap canister codes. Components were repaired but car continued to stall after ever full tank of gas. Car threw evap leak code. No leaks found. Fuel pump was checked and tank checked for over flow. No leaks. No gas smell. Fuel pump and evap system ruled out as cause. The issue seems to be with the tank itself.

Problem #1: one of the cooling fan blades sheered off and & flew into the radiator. I was at a complete stop and broke off when I started to accelerate. I replaced the broken blade (didn't have enough money to replace both) and radiator. About a year or less later the other fan blade sheered off (the one I didn't replace) and went into the radiator. This time also during accelerating after a complete stop. Deja vu. This time I had to replace the entire fan assembly (because the blades were on backorder) and radiator. When I went to the Dodge dealership they said there was a recall on the same blades but only the 2006 model. Problem #2: it is now loosing propulsion. The power stays on it just stops moving forward. I can put it in park & then back in gear and it moves, but barely. It isn't consistent but it is terrifying. I have googled possible issues and it seems like a lot of people are having the same problem and they have linked it to a bad PCM. I took it to a mechanic but of course it didn't do it while he had it. I have been told, by Dodge, that they are the only ones that can do a full diagnostic, that other devices only cover about 30% of the program. That alone seems unfair if not illegal. I cannot afford $110 just to find out what's wrong. My trunk light doesn't work either & even Dodge can't find out why. It's not the bulb, it's not the fuse, and the electrical connection is good. According to them. I have more images and receipts but can't figure out how to attach them.
As I'm driving down the freeway in the fast lane the vehicle stalls. I'm able to maneuver across all three lanes of traffic to get on the shoulder and call aaa roadside. When the tow truck gets to my location he puts 2 gallons of gas in my tank and the vehicle starts right up. Meanwhile the gas gauge is showing a quarter tank. After looking up if this has happened to anyone else I came across numerous online posts stating that the same thing has happened to them as well. This is a huge safety concern as it can result in a very bad accident from losing power steering and power brakes as a result of the engine stalling out from fuel starvation and the gas gauge showing a quarter tank.
Engine turns off when idling such as when stopped at a "stop sign" or "traffic light". auto dealership replaced both fuel pumps and have cleaned throttle housing but problem continues.
After filling up at a gas station, the car started stuttering and later on stalled at a red light in the city. Has become this way only after filling up the fuel tank completely, it will stutter and sometimes stall at complete stops. I have stopped from filling up completely to avoid this problem for approximately two years now. It is a 2007 Dodge Charger rt rwd.
