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.

PCM/ECM failure during driving. Caused entire vehicle to shut off during speeds as little as 20 or as high as 70 mph. Severe safety issue and potential for critical component damage to other parts of the vehicle! Warning tone and lamps do not appear until after the incident happens. And it has been confirmed by 3 consecutive car shops and dealers. Happens repeatedly, day to day.
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.

Out of no where my car started stalling on me, took it to a mechanic, cleaned ground wires, changed O2 sensor, cleaned throttle body everything looks and sounds good, but the car stalls, while I'm driving, as well as at a stop, sometimes it completely shuts off and I loose all control including power steering, and sometimes just cuts off for half a second and turns itself back on, iv seen a lot of posts about the gas tank overfilling problem, as well as a ignition switch problem with these cars, I called the dealer but they said they can't address it since my VIN isn't reported for those recalls. My car is unsafe to drive right now and I don't know why but there's reports of manufacturer faults.

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.

When driving the car it will randomly turn off and then come back on with out having to restart it. It's like if you were to turn a light switch on and then off again, it's that quick. I'm talking about everything shuts down, the lights the radio the gauges everything and then sometimes it comes right back on. There has been some occasions where it doesn't come back on tho.
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.
My 2006 Dodge Charger has been hesitating and dying immediately after filling up my fuel tank, every time. This has been an ongoing problem as of the last 6 months. I've read in multiple online Dodge forums that this has to do with a faulty 'evaporation valve' in the fuel tank and that there are many 2006 Dodge owners who have encountered the exact same problem. There are no codes in the vehicle's computer & the dealership has not taken ownership of the problem created by their design & created a recall of the gas tank or 'evaporation valve'. I was directed to this website to notify you of this problem in hopes of alerting Dodge of the issue. It is extremely dangerous. In the event that this happens in traffic or while turning in an intersection, the vehicle may easily become uncontrollable, as all power steering & power brakes are rendered useless.
My 2006 Dodge Charger rt V8 5.7 keep stalling after I put gas in and shut off while I'm driving and when I pull over and it start right back up I'm really concerned about my safety because it done that multiple times on my way to work and after work
