The issue is that after fueling up my car I will drive a little ways down the road and the car will shut off and I will need to steer out of the way of traffic and restart the car. This will happen several times after refueling. This appears to be a common problem with 2006 Dodge Chargers, Magnums, and Chrysler 300s. It appears that the issue is that fuel was observed entering the purge line prior to initial shut off of the fill nozzle. This causes fuel to escape from the fuel tank assembly into the evaporative system. The multi-function control valve’s refueling float stays stuck in an open position and is the cause of this issue. “Rich fuel” gets into the engine and the engine will shut down. The NHTSA has investigated the issue under investigation number PE13-016. I was directed to report the issue to the NHTSA website if I have the issue, which I do.

When I fill my car with gasoline, it starts to putter and shuts off. I have replaced the fuel pump and fuel transfer unit over 4 times since I have owned this vehicle. I had the same issue with my Chrysler 300. It is very frustrating and cost full. I just dropped my car at the shop to be looked at again. I just had a fuel/transfer pump done less than a year ago

The transmission console shift lever stays in Park. The console shift lever will not go into Reverse. Sunday morning my wife was on her way to church and found that the Dodge Charger RT transmission would not go into reverse. I tried it and she was right. My concern is if this happened while in traffic the vehicle could be rear ended or could cause a traffic night mare. My wife was in New Hampshire as the driver of our car with three other ladies just prior to this problem. . She was about sixty miles away and if the transmission locked up there with the four of them they would have been stranded. The plastic shift lock out located in the console is a plastic piece and should be replaced with a metal or aluminum piece by a Recall or at least a Technical Bulletin. The following is the current vehicle replacement Shift Interlock Repair Kit P/N 68088259AB. If any more information is required please feel free to contact me.

The contact stated that she was unable to refuel the vehicle past half tank without the failure recurring. The local dealer was then made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was made aware and also confirmed the VIN was not included in a recall and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 190,000.

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, AFTER HAVING JUST LEFT A GAS STATION AND FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES NOW AT SLOW SPEEDS AS WELL. DOES NOT OCCUR EVERY TIME, BUT DOES OCCUR OFTEN AND ALWAYS WITHIN MINUTES OF REFUELING. *TR
Jan 13, 2015
TYPICAL PROBLEM RELATED BY MANY AFTER REFUELING THE ENGINE DIES AND THUS, FOR OVER A YEAR NOW, I NEVER FILL TO MORE THAN 16 GALLONS. BUT, IF ONE TURNS LEFT WITH FUEL LEVEL AROUND 16 GALLONS, THE ENGINE QUICKLY DIES LEAVING THE VEHICLE VULNERABLE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION WITHOUT STEERING OR BRAKES. LEFT HAND TURNS NOW HAVE TO BE MADE AT A VERY SLOW SPEED AFTER REFUELING WHICH CAN ALSO CREATE A DANGEROUS SITUATION. THIS IS CLEARLY A RECALL ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN UP TO THIS SORRY ISSUE WITH A PRESTIGIOUS AUTOMOBILE. *TR

Upon looking for my vehicle recalls it said my car had been repaired and I've owned it the last 7 years and it definitely has not since I've owned it.. That isn't true...

I got ZD1-00000 recall procedure done at Joe Cooper Dodge of Shawnee 4940 North Automall Dr. Shawnee, OK 74804. Recently I noticed my blower had started to perform rattling sounds, so I opened the glovebox, inspected the blower and found one little screw inside the turbine. I wondered where it should be screwed, so I looked everything around and realized the passenger-side airbag is screwed on 2 screws instead 4 like it was designed. I am not in a position to make technical conclusions but looks like probably the serviceman who performed the airbag recall procedure gave up screwing all 4 screws. So, I called to Dodge Contact Center (FCA US LLC. Case #[XXX] and asked what they thought about this. Susan, the lady I talked to said they are basically not responsible for the recall procedure performing quality and I should ask for help from Joe Cooper Dodge of Shawnee. I declined any contact with Joe Cooper Dodge of Shawnee as far as in my opinion they neglected their professional duties and put me and my family in jeopardy. The point is simple, my intention was not to hide the situation and get a bonus from someone, but to inform the corporation about the possible quality issues with the recall procedure performed by their representatives. I also asked the FCA US LLC. to schedule an appointment with any other dealers to independently inspect the job quality related to recall procedures performed on my car. So, Susan from Dodge Contact Center a representative of FCA US LLC ignored the possible safety issue information that had been provided, she said Case # would[XXX] be closed. She also said the possible safety issues could be solved by another dealer but for the extra fee. FCA US LLC. forcing me to pay for the procedure, which is supposed to be free of charge regarding the Safety Act and Federal regulations. I kindly ask you to pay attention to Joe Cooper Dodge of Shawnee 4940 North Automall Dr. Shawnee, OK 74804. and FCA US LLC.

Was backing our of a parking spot when the driver's airbag went off. I was looking to the back right as I was slowly turning the wheel clockwise when the airbag triggered. At such low speeds I was able to safely hit the brake and park the vehicle. As a result my left hand was minorly injured, while my front passenger only reported his ears ringing. My vehicle never made any contact with another vehicle or object. The Publix parking lot is a flat, paved surface. I took pictures all around and of my car soon after. I did have the airbags replaced because of the Takata recall some time ago (2017/2018 i think). If the vehicle was operated at a higher speed and the airbag went off, this would certainly cause an accident. I did inspect the vehicle afterwards and performed an EDR download. The CDR report is attached, however it reports that it is "Not retrievable by CDR Tool". There was a check engine light on at the time, I believe it was for code P0420. There may have been a low tire pressure light as well. Alignment was recently performed (~1 month ago) by a Tires Plus.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that while parked, the driver's and the passenger air bags unintendedly deployed. The dealer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V313000 (Air Bags) and 16V352000 (Air Bags) for which the VIN was included. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

I swerved to avoid animal in the roadway. Over corrected my skid and went into the ditch at highway speed. The airbag never deployed and I had a fracture to my lumbar 1. Insurance denied my claim and have the vehicle listed as a 2007 charger. They should have at least covered part of this incident as there was full coverage through progressive insurance at the time.

SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC
77 complaints
DISK BRAKE NOISE. I HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE IT WAS NEW, AND HAVE HAD FREQUENT PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES, MOSTLY INB THE FRONT AXEL. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FRONT ROTORS AND PADS AT LEAST 2 TIMES I BELIEVE, AND RECENTLY A FEW MONTHS AGO, I CHANGED THE FRONT PADS AGAIN TO TRY TO GET RID OF THE SQUEALING NOISE. I HAVE PURCHASED OEM BRAKES AND ROTORS FROM THE DEALER, AND LAST TIME I REPLACED THEM, I USED A BRAND FROM A LOCAL AUTO PARTS STORE. IT SEEMS THAT I THE BRAKES STAY QUIET FOR A LITTLE WHILE AFTER THEY HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND SERVICES, BUT SOON START RETURNING TO MAKING A HORRIBLE SQUEALING NOISE ANYTIME THE BRAKES ARE USED. AFTER SEVERAL TRIPS FOR THIS AT TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, AND READING UP ON THE MANUFACTURES WEB FORUMS, IT LOOKS LIKE THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING TO A LOT MORE PEOPLE THAN JUST ME. I FEEL THERE MUST BE A DESIGN OR MANUFACTURING ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED TO CORRECT THIS TYPE OF CHRONIC PROBLEM. *TR

THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 20,800 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,793.

AT 12,500 MILES TOOK VEHICLE TO DODGE DEALER COMPLAINING OF THE FRONT BRAKES SQUEALING. THEY TOLD ME THE ROTORS WERE WARPED, PROBABLY FROM GOING THOUGH A PUDDLE WHEN THEY WERE HOT, WHICH I HAD NOT DONE. I HAD TO PAY TO HAVE THE ROTORS TURNED. STILL SQUEALED. ENDED UP HAVING TO BUY NEW ROTORS AND PADS FOR FRONT. NOW, THE REAR SQUEAL SO BAD I AM EMBARRASSED TO DRIVE IT. WILL END UP HAVING TO REPLACE THE REAR BRAKES. *TR
Jan 08, 2009
BRAKES: THE CHARGER R/T BRAKES ONLY HAVE 17K MILES ON THEM AND THE ROTORS NEED TO BE REPLACED. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALER AT 11K BUT WAS TOLD THAT THE SHAKING WAS NORMAL. THE DEALERS KNOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ROTORS WARPING AND REFUSE TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY PAST 12K MILES. *TR

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.

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.

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 BY 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? *TR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER KEEP STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I WAS SITTING AT A LIGHT GETTING TO READY TO TURN AND THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN. THANKFUL IT WAS A TURN SIGNAL OR I WOULD HAVE BEEN HIT. ALSO THE ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND THE CAR JUST STALLS THEN - YOU CAN WAIT ABOUT 5 MIN. AND IT WILL START BACK UP. UPON DOING MY RESEARCH I AM UNSURE TO WHY THEIR HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT STARTS TO STALL THEN I HIT THE GAS AND IT KEEPS GOING. *TR
Jan 01, 2017
MY 2006 CHARGER WILL STALL AND OR JOLT VIOLENTLY AS SOON AS I LEAVE THE GAS STATION, AND IT IS ONLY WHEN I FILL UP MY TANK. AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE TWICE AND DRIVING A SHORT WHILE I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEMS, IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK. I KNOW THAT NEWER VEHICLE FUEL TANKS ARE DESIGNED NOT TO BE FORCE FILLED DUE TO THE SPECIAL EVAP SYSTEM. I ONLY FILL THE TANK TILL THE STATION PUMP NOZZLE CLICKS OFF, WHICH IS WHAT I WAS TOLD HOW TO FILL THESE NEWER VEHICLES. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR OVER SEVERAL MONTHS, THOUGH I HAVE NOT HAD ANY TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS, I FEAR THAT THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

My car has been stalling intermittently. But lately it's becoming more frequent. I've taken it to 3 different repair shops. Diagnostics shows P0700 and U1000 codes. The last shop charged me 150 dollars just to tell me that they don't know what's causing my car to stall. So I'm kind of lost here. Please help me.

CAME TO A STOP IN TRAFFIC. IT SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 5 MINS THEN STARTED BACK UP. TOOK IT TO THE DEALER (BIG VALLEY DODGE IN VAN NUYS, CA.- NOW OUT OF BUSINESS) BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TIL ABOUT 5-6 WEEKS AGO. MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN TRAFFIC. JUST AS I FINISHED THE TURN, THE CAR WENT DEAD. BASICALLY THE SAME SYMPTOMS AS BEFORE. STARTED UP IN ABOUT 3-5 MINUTES. I REACHED MY DESTINATION (WORKING OUT AT THE TRACK). 1.5 HOURS LATER I HAD SOMEONE FOLLOW ME HOME. WITHIN 3 BLOCKS THE CAR DID THE SAME THING. CALLED DODGE CORPORATE. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT IN. TOOK THE CAR TO WHAT USED TO BE BIG VALLEY BUT NOW IS THE SUPERSTORE AND HAD THEM CHECK IT OUT. THEY FOUND NOTHING.

THERE IS A RECALL K#39 FOR 2005-2007 DODGE CHARGERS FOR WHEN THE CAR WILL NOT LEAVE THE PARKED POSITION. EVEN THOUGH THIS IS WHAT IS GOING ON WITH MY CAR THE DEALERSHIP IS SAYING MY CAR IS NOT COVERED IN THIS RECALL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THEY ARE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ME WITH THE 2005 AND 2006 DATES OF CARS THAT WERE AFFECTED!. I WANT CLARIFICATION OF WHY MY CAR IS NOT COVERED WHEN IT FITS EVERY DESCRIPTION IN THE RECALL. THEY HAD ME TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NOW SAYING I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT TO BE FIXED.

ON MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER, AN UNPRECEDENTED MECHANICAL PROBLEM HAPPENED WITH THE IGNITION. IT IS UNPRECEDENTED AS IT WORKED PERFECTLY PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. THE IGNITION WILL ONLY TURN FROM 'OFF' TO 'A/C' AND FINALLY TO 'ON' BUT IT WILL NOT TURN ANY FURTHER TO 'START'. THIS MEANS THE ENGINE CAN NOT BE STARTED. WITH FURTHER RESEARCH, IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT SAME GENERATION CHARGERS AND MAGNUMS ARE AFFECTED BY THE SAME PROBLEM, WITH OWNERS REPORTING PROBLEMS WITH THE ACTUATOR PIN. MY CAR IS STATIONARY AND AS OF LATE CAN'T MOVE WITH AN OUTSIDE SOURCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STEERING WHEEL SHOOK VIOLENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CONTACT HEARD A CLICKING NOISE UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF, AND RESTARTED IT AND WAS ABLE TO DRIVE. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO HENDRICK DODGE (81 MACKENAN DR, CARY NC 27511, (919) 439-5394) WHERE AN ALIGNMENT WAS COMPLETED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE STEERING COLUMN NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 300,000.

HAD MY VEHICLE IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. I HAVE BEEN NOTICING CLUNKING FROM THE STEERING WHEEL AND SHAKING PROBLEMS AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. DEALER INSPECTED CAR AND FOUND LEFT AND RIGHT BALL JOINTS CRACKED AND BROKEN POWER STEERING LINE, ALONG WITH A BROKEN TIE ROD ON THE LEFT SIDE. I FIND THIS VERY DIFFICULT TO DIGEST AS THE CAR DOESN'T EVEN HAVE 25,000 MILES ON IT, IT IS NEVER DRIVEN IN SNOW, AND IS CONSTANTLY IN MY GARAGE. THIS CAR IS DRIVEN ON AVERAGE OF 4,000 MILES A YEAR, AND MAINLY ON THE INTERSTATE WHEN IT IS DRIVEN. NOW I AM FACING A 1500.00 REPAIR BILL TO REPLACE THESE PARTS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND OTHERS HAVE NEEDED TO DO THIS SAME REPAIR NUMEROUS TIMES ON THEIR VEHICLES AS WELL. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD STEP FORWARD AND ADMIT THAT THESE PARTS ARE DEFECTIVE. THERE AREN'T EVEN ANY LUBRICATION ZERKS TO HELP PREVENT FUTURE ISSUES WITH THIS. NOW THAT SPRING IS HERE I WANTED TO GET THE CAR READY FOR SUMMER, NOW WE ARE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT GETS FIXED, BUT ACCORDING TO WHAT I HAVE FOUND, I CAN EXPECT TO HAVE THIS DONE AGAIN IN ANOTHER 25,000 MILES. I DON'T THINK THIS IS RIGHT. *TR

My 2006 Dodge Charger stalls after refueling, and now stutters when driving as if not getting fuel. I have noticed when attempting to break and stopping at stops this is happening more often. The car shuts down and could cause a accident. After researching this issue I found that this has been addressed already under investigation number PE13-016 by the NHTSA.

AFTER FILLING UP, MY CAR ENGINE STALLS. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT IT. I LOOKED IT UP ON YOUR SITE AND INDEED FOUND PE13016 BUT DISAGREE WITH THE FINDING BEING THAT IT IS A LOW SAFETY ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE I WOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND THE ENGINE STALLS AND SHUTS OFF AND THE STEERING LOCKS UP WHERE I CAN'T STEER THE CAR WHATSOEVER. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT IT WAS DUE TO A FUEL VAPOR LOCK IN WHICH THE EVAP VALVE STAYS OPEN AND DUE TO IT, THE ENGINE RUNS RICH BECAUSE OF THE FUEL. I WAS TOLD NOT TO OVERFILL IN WHICH I HAVE STOPPED, HOWEVER, THIS HAPPENS JUST BY FILLING UP. I HAVE HAD TO REV THE ENGINE TO BURN OFF GAS UNTIL THE ENGINE STOPS STALLING. EVERY TIME, I'VE STOPPED TRAFFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND IT HAS HAPPENED AT NIGHT AS WELL WHERE VISIBILITY IS LOW AND ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE MY CAR STALLED. IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE TURNING IN A BUSY INTERSECTION AND THANKFUL THAT IT HAPPENED RIGHT BEFORE I MADE THE TURN. EVERY TIME IT HAS HAPPENED I'VE BEEN IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET AND A FEW TIMES ON A HIGHWAY BUT EVERY TIME I WAS ABOUT TO TURN. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, I DIDN'T KNOW AND GOT THE TOW TRUCK TO TOW THE CAR AND HAD THE POLICE TO COME BEHIND ME BECAUSE IN HIS WORDS, I WAS IN AN UNSAFE LOCATION, SO THAT NO OTHER ONCOMING VEHICLES WOULD HIT ME. THE DATE THAT I PLACED ON WHEN IT HAPPENED IS THE LAST DATE IT HAS HAPPENED THUS FAR AS OF THIS WRITING.

I TOOK MY 06 CHARGER IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL AND WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER MY CAR SHUT OFF AT EVERY LIGHTS AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF GOING 40 50 MILES AN HOUR. IT CONTINUES TO DO THAT MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT SO MANY OF THE 6TH GENERATION DODGE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY A PROBLEM THAT CAUSES YOU TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IS NOT ADDRESSED. FIRST IT START TELLING ME THAT IT WAS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEM, THEN IT'S NOW TELLING ME THAT IS A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE AND THE ECM. THIS HAPPENED EXACTLY ONE MINUTE AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER GETTING MY AIRBAGS RECALLED. IT STALLS AT WHEN STATIONARY, WHEN MOVING, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, AND EVERY COUPLE MINUTES. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING ADDRESSED.
Nov 25, 2019
I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS. FIRST WHILE DRIVING ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON THEN GO RIGHT OFF. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS MY CAR WILL TURN OVER AND SOMETIMES START BUT DIE IMMEDIATELY. ONCE I GET IT STARTED IT WILL GO FINE FOR A WHILE BEFORE DOING IT AGAIN. BY THE LOOKS OF MY RESEARCH BOTH PROBLEMS ARE PRETTY COMMON IN 2006 CHARGERS.

I HAD A 2006 CHARGER (RECENTLY SOLD) WITH THE WELL DOCUMENTED STALLING ISSUES AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK. THE FIRST TIME THE CAR DIED I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. I MANAGED TO GET THE CAR TO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AFTER 2 ADDITIONAL STALLS. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALER WHO COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM & SOLD ME A NEW GAS CAP. GAS CAP DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. FOR THE NEXT 18 MONTHS I COULD ONLY FILL THE TANK 3/4 FULL TO ENABLE ME TO USE MY CAR SAFELY. I REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AND OTHER COMPONENTS IN 2012 TO THE TUNE OF $1.8K. NOW CHRYSLER/DODGE TELLS ME THAT EVEN THOUGH MY CHARGER FITS ALL THE CRITERIA FOR THE LIFETIME WARRANTY, MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE WARRANTY. I WILL NOT BE REIMBURSED NOW AND POSSIBLY NOT EVER, ALL BECAUSE OF A LETTER BEHIND THE 3 DIGIT SALES CODE. NONE OF THE DOCUMENTATION I RECEIVED WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR CONTAINS THE SALES CODE SO I HAVE TO RECOURSE TO PROVE ME RIGHT AND THEM WRONG. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE DAYTONA R/T CHARGER. IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR, WITH ~185K THOUSAND MILES ON THE CAR, IT BEGAN STALLING AFTER FUELING. THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY DIE AND CAUSES LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, AND IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO RESTART. THIS IS CAUSING EXTREMELY DANGEROUS CONDITIONS, AS IT OCCURS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND/OR MOVING THROUGH INTERSECTIONS. BECAUSE THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLS, YOU ARE LEFT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND AT TIMES, FAST-MOVING TRAFFIC AND UNABLE TO START THE CAR TO MOVE IT OUT OF THE WAY. *TR

WHEN TEMPS. WERE COLD LESS THAN 25 DEGRESS THE ACCELERATOR WOULD WOULD STICK AT 4,000 RPM. I COULD PUT MY FOOT UNDER THE GAS PEDAL AND LIFT IT UP TO A NORMAL IDLE. THE THROTTLE IS ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED. HERE IN MICHIGAN WITH MORE THAN 90" OF SNOW THIS SEASON AN ACCIDENT WAS WAITING TO HAPPEN, VERY UNSAFE. I TOLD THE DEALER WHAT WAS WRONG AND I EXPECTED A REPAIR $495.00 PARTS AND LABOR. I CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE 4 DAYS OF CONVERSATION GOT ME NOWHERE. I PAID A $99.50 FOR DIAGNOSES AND TOOK IT ELSEWHERE. THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. APON A UNDER HOOD INSPECTION THE CONNECTOR THAT PLUGGED IN THE FRONT OF THE AIR ITAKE WAS REMOVED, THROTTLE PLATE ACTUATOR. WHEN I DROVE IT IN I COULD ACCELERATE, MY 6 MILE RIDE HOME HAD A TOP SPEED OF 20 MPH AND 2 DASH LITES WERE ON. I WENT TO KEVIN [SERVICE WRITE UP] AND HE JUST BLAMED IT ON THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY...WRONG. THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY HAS NO SIGN OF DAMAGE, RUST OR ANYTHING TO CAUSE THIS PROBLEM.

11/16/13 I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY GAS TANK ON I95 AT LADYSMITH, VA AND WAS COMING DOWN THE RAMP NORTHBOUND WHEN THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND STALLED JUST AS I MERGED ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I PULLED OVER AFTER GETTING BLASTED BY TRUCKERS HORNS FOR MAKING THEM SLAM ON BRAKES. AFTER A COUPLE ATTEMPTS IT RESTARTED AND I TOOK OFF AGAIN, ONLY TO HAVE IT STALL AGAIN. IT DID THIS THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE IT FINALLY STARTED AND DID NOT STALL. SINCE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN, I FIGURED I JUST GOT SOME BAD GAS. THEN IT HAPPENED THE NEXT TIME I FILLED UP. AND THE NEXT. AND THE NEXT. I CHECKED ON-LINE AND FOUND SEVERAL OTHERS WHO HAD EXPERIENCED THIS AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE GAS BEING FILLED TO THE BRIM THAT CAUSED IT. I TRIED FILLING UP LESS THAN A FULL TANK AND THIS DID SEEM TO WORK. ONLY PROBLEM IS I NOW WANT TO SELL OR TRADE IN THE CAR AND I DON'T FEEL RIGHT PASSING THIS PROBLEM ALONG TO SOMEONE ELSE. I SAW THE ARTICLE ABOUT NHTSA FORCING CHRYSLER TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON 2006 HEMI CHARGERS AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALER ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS AND WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM FOR $1100. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER SET UP A PROGRAM FOR THESE REPLACEMENTS? IS THERE A LIST OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE COVERED BY THE NEW EXTENDED WARRANTY? CAN I PLEASE SEE IF MY CAR IS ON IT AND IF NOT WHY NOT? *TR

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.

2006 DODGE CHARGES WITH 5.7 HEMI V8 - EXPERIENCING RANDOM STALLING. HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED. EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF INCLUDING THE POWER STEERING AND ABS. FIRST HAPPENED WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY AND I HAD TO DRIVE OFF THE ROAD TO AVOID A SEMI-TRUCK. THIS HAPPENED WITH MY YOUNG CHILD IN THE VEHICLE. I HAD THE GAS TANK, FUEL CANISTER, AND PURGE VALVE REPLACED. THE PROBLEM STILL OCCURS REGARDLESS OF THE AMOUNT OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE AND REGARDLESS OF WHEN IT WAS REFUELED. EVEN THOUGH THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AND EVEN TRIED CHARGING ME FOR UNNECESSARY DIAGNOSTICS. CAR DOES NOT FLASH A CODE SO AFTER REPLACING WHAT WAS SUPPOSED TO FIX THE ISSUE, DRIVING THE VEHICLE IS THE ONLY WAY TO FIND OUT IF IT IS FIXED. THIS HAS LEAD TO A FEW DANGEROUS CLOSE CALLS.

I WAS IN LINE AT TIM HORTON'S, I HAD ORDERED, BUT NOT YET PAID. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE (CAR WAS STATIONARY), AND THE AS THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME MOVED UP, I DEPRESSED THE BRAKE TO ROLL THE CAR FORWARD. THE CAR BEGAN ACCELERATING ON IT'S OWN. WITH MY FOOT STILL ON THE BRAKE, I PUSHED THE BRAKE TO THE FLOOR AT WHICH POINT THE ABS STRUGGLED TO SLOW THE ACCELERATION DOWN. THE RESULT OF THE INCIDENT IS MY CAR ONLY CAME TO A STOP ONCE I HIT THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME. I LOOKED DOWN ONCE THE CAR STOPPED MOVING AND CLEARLY ONLY SAW MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE WITH THE BRAKE PRESSED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. LUCKILY THE ONLY REAL DAMAGE WAS SOME FLAKED PAINT ON THE FRONT OF MY CAR. THE OTHER CAR, AS WELL AS MYSELF DECIDED THE ISSUE WAS NOT WORTH REPORTING TO THE INSURANCE COMPANIES. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED MY DAD, WHO TOLD ME TO CALL THE DEALER. I THEN CALLED THE DEALER WHOM SAID DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR, AND GET THE CAR TOWED TO THEM FOR DIAGNOSIS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DODGE/JEEP DEALERSHIP IN WHICH I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2007. THIS ISSUE HAS NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE, IN THE 11 YEARS I'VE OWNED THE CAR.

I HAVE COMPLAINED ON THIS VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. IT CONTINUES TO HAVE A RANDOMLY STALLING ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT IS NOT THE GAS TANK. IT HAS FINALLY STARTED CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON (YAY! IT MIGHT ACTUALLY GET FIXED). JUST KIDDING! THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE CODES THAT SHOW UP ARE GENERAL PCM CODES THAT MEAN NOTHING. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS IT MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE PCM, ECM, OR NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS. EITHER WAY, MOST OF US GO WITHOUT CARS FOR WEEKS WHILE MECHANICS CANNOT FIND THE ACTUAL CAUSE THUS CANNOT FIX A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. MOST OF US DON'T WANT TO DRIVE VEHICLES THAT STALL WHILE GOING 40 MPH.

I GOT MY FUEL TANK REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY (NEW FUEL TANK & O-RING PART #S: CNSTX531AA AND CNSTX532AA) AND NOW STALLING IS WORSE THAN BEFORE. ENGINE WANTS TO STALL ANYWHERE FROM 0-30 MPH NOW WHETHER THE TANK IS FULL, HALF EMPTY OR NEAR EMPTY. THE CAR'S STALLING CAN BE PREVENTED BY PROVIDING QUICK ACCELERATION, WHICH WILL TEMPORARY FIX THE ISSUE, ONLY TO HAVE IT COME BACK LATER. THE CHOICE BETWEEN STALLING AT HIGH SPEEDS AND LOSING POWER STEERING & OTHER NECESSITIES, OR QUICKLY ACCELERATING TO PREVENT A STALL, LEAVE DRIVERS WITH TWO UNSAFE, DANGEROUS CHOICES EACH. THE FUEL TANK RECALL DID NOT REMEDY THE ISSUE. IF ANYTHING, IT MADE IT WORSE, MORE DANGEROUS, AND MADE A MINOR DEFECT/ANNOYANCE INTO A SERIOUS PROBLEM THAT CAN NOT BE "BURNT OFF" LIKE THE EXCESS GAS IN THE PREVIOUS FUEL TANK. DEALERSHIPS GIVE US THE RUN AROUND. SAYING THEY EITHER DON'T HAVE THE PIECE, OR THEY REFUSE TO REPLACE IT BECAUSE WE ALREADY HAVE THE NEW, YET STILL FAULTY, FUEL TANK. IT'S BECOMING A SERIOUS ISSUE WITH NO REAL REMEDY IN SIGHT. THE DEALERSHIP BLAMES CHRYSLER/DODGE AND CHRYSLER/DODGE BLAMES THE DEALERSHIP. THE TWO POINT FINGERS AND SCAPEGOAT EACH OTHER, LEAVING THE CUSTOMER TO EITHER REPLACE EVERYTHING OUT-OF-POCKET OR DRIVE A SERIOUSLY IMPAIRED AND DANGEROUS VEHICLE. I WENT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH TWO MINOR DTC CODES THAT I PLANNED ON REPAIRING (THEY WERE NONIMMEDIATE AND NOT SERIOUS) AND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP WITH 15 CODES. CHRYSLER EVEN GAVE ME A "CASE MANAGER" FOR THIS, BUT THE CASE MANAGER SAID ALL THEY CAN DO IS RELY ON THE DEALERSHIP'S DIAGNOSTICS... LITERALLY JUST A WASTE OF TIME. WHY EVEN ASSIGN A CASE MANAGER? I TOOK THE CAR IN TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK SINCE IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY (AKA FREE)... I'M A COLLEGE STUDENT WITH NO FINANCES FOR REPAIR. NOW, I'M LEFT WITH A FAULTY, UNSAFE, NEARLY INOPERABLE VEHICLE WITH NO OTHER MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. SOMEONE NEEDS TO STEP IN.

On 3/10/2023 my vehicle suddenly starting trembling and shaking profusely! It terrified me severely. I immediately called my mechanic and it was towed in to be repaired. I was told it needed a tune- up. Towing, 3-Direct Ignition coils replaced, 6-spark plugs replaced and 1- fuel injection plenum gasket set replaced. Four weeks later on 4/16/2023 a warning sign of a backwards meeting parenthesis with a lightening bolt between to the two backwards parenthesis showed up on my warning lamp-Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator symbol; causing my vehicle on shake, jump and stall as I was driving on 29S heading toward 70W towards Baltimore to get home. I was able to drive to side of the road and my car completely stopped. A the horrific sounds of the traffic wizzed by me and my 12 year old child, I immediately called AAA, as we were in danger and severely terrified. We were finally picked up after 3 long hours!!!!! My car was the towed up the street from my home because the huge tow truck was unable to get directly in front of my door at that late hour. As I called AAA back the next morning to have my car towed to my mechanic shop, I was told I could only get 1 tow/ breakdown. I was totally in disbelieve after all we endured the evening/ night before. After explaining to a supervisor at AAA, she agreed that we had such a horrible experience the night before and adjusted the policy to accommodate my vehicle to be towed to my mechanic for repairs. This time, my fuel pump needed to be replaced and it has been. My vehicle still feels hesitate in its acceleration and as of today my engine light is on on my warning panel.

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.

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 WILL RUN FINE ONE DAY NEXT DAY IT WON'T, CAR CUTS OFF WHEN STOPPING AN STOP SIGN OR LIGHT. CAR JERKS WHEN PRESSING GAS PEDAL TOO HARD, GAS ODORS COMING FROM MUFFLER.

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.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HEMI POLICE INTERCEPTOR I PURCHASED FROM THE STATE OF OREGON AT 137,000 RANDOMLY DIES. THE LIGHTNING BOLT WARNING LIGHT COMES ON. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL CODE COMES ON. THE CAR HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER AND THE PCM $750 HAS BEEN REPLACED AND THE PLUGS $350 HAVE BEEN REPLACED AS WELL. I ALSO GET TCM CODES. MY CAR HAS DIED AT VERY DANGEROUS TIMES, WHEN PASSING OR MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. THE DEALER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S CAUSING IT.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE CAR WILL FAIL HESITATE IN THE 5.7L HEMI. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES AND THE NOTIFICATION SOUNDS BEEPS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT REMAIN ON. FAILURE TO ACCELERATE IN ANY CIRCUMSTANCES CAN RESULT IN COLLISION INCLUDING SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH. UPON DOING RESEARCH (YOU CAN GOOGLE THIS EASILY) THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE WHICH DODGE HAS REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE. THIS DEFECTIVE PART/PROGRAMMING IS MOST DEFINITELY NOT GENERAL WEAR AND TEAR AND SHOULD BE A MANDATED RECALL PRIOR TO INJURY/DEATH. *TR

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER HAS BEGAN TO STALL AFTER A GAS FILL-UP. IT IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE IT DOES NOT MATTER HOW FAST YOU ARE DRIVING. I HAD IT STALL ABOUT 5 TIMES AFTER FILLING UP TODAY.

RIGHT AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION FROM FILLING UP MY CARS' GAS TANK MY ENGINE STALLED WHEN I CAME TO A STOP ON A VERY BUSY INTERSECTION. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN BUT IT TURNED OFF ON ME AGAIN, REPEATED THE PROCESS TWICE UNTIL THE LIGHT CHANGED AND I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME. DROVE AROUND MY NEIGHBORHOOD MAKING MULTIPLE STOPS TO SEE IT IF HAPPENED AGAIN IN WHICH THE ENGINE ONLY TURNED OFF ONCE MORE. *TR

AFTER FILLING GAS TANK, ENGINE HESITATES AND/OR STALLS. I ONLY FILL UP UNTIL THE FUEL PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF, I DO NOT ADD ANY MORE FUEL THAN THAT. THIS HAS HAPPENED ALMOST EVERY TIME I HAVE FILLED UP WITH FUEL. MOST OF THE STALLING/HESITATION OCCURS WHEN COASTING OR DECELERATING (COMING TO A STOP). THIS HAS CREATED MULTIPLE VERY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS DUE TO THE ENGINE NOT RUNNING AND I HAVE A LOSS OF THE POWER ASSIST TO THE STEERING. OCCASIONALLY THE ENGINE HAS A DIFFICULT TIME RESTARTING AFTER THE ENGINE STALLS. THIS WILL OCCUR APPROXIMATELY 4-8 TIMES AFTER A FILL-UP OF FUEL. *TR

THE CAR SUDDENLY STALLED AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE STEERING WAS LOCKED AND WAS UNABLE TO MOVE. I WAS TURNING INTO MY SUBDIVISION WHEN SUDDENLY THIS HAPPENED. I WAS PROBABLY AROUND 5 MPH. LUCKILY THERE WAS NO CAR BEHIND ME. I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND START IT AND DRIVE HOME WITHOUT ISSUE. THE SECOND TIME IT GOT STALLED WHEN THE SAME DAY I HAD TO TAKE MY SON TO ONE OF HIS CLASS. WHEN I WAS STOPPED AT THE LIGHT, THE CAR STALLED. THIS TIME IT TOOK FEW TRIES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. ONCE IT STARTED, THE RPM WAS FLUCTUATING AS IF IT WAS STARVING FOR FUEL. SINCE OTHER COMPLAINS HAVE REFERENCES TO THIS HAPPENING AFTER FILLING UP GAS, I WANT TO MENTIONED THAT I HAD FILLED THE GAS THE DAY BEFORE AND I MUST HAVE DROVE 20 OR SO MILES BEFORE THIS HAPPENED FIRST TIME. *TR

May 06, 2013
I PURCHASED MY DODGE CHARGER IN AUGUST OF 06. AT 22,316 MILES, I STARTED EXPERIENCING A CLUNKING IN THE FRONT END. THE LEFT OUTER TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 5/50,000. AT 51,972 THE CLUNKING RETURNED. THE REMAINING TIE RODS, INNER AND OUTER, INCLUDING THE ONE THAT WAS REPLACED AT 22,316 HAD TO BE REPLACED. AS OF NOW MY CAR HAS 67,800 MILES ON IT AND IN BETWEEN 51,972 AND 67,800 MILES, THE CLUNKING HAS RETURNED SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE HAD A LEFT CONTROL ARM, LOWER BALL JOINT, SWAY BAR LINK, CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS, RT AND LT TENSION STRUTS AND SWAY BAR BUSHINGS ALL REPLACED. I THINK FOR A CAR WITH ONLY 67,000 MILES ON IT...... THIS IS WAY TOO MANY PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY WHEN ALL THE PROBLEMS ARE IN ONE AREA OF THE CAR. IT SURE WOULD BE GREAT IF DODGE WOULD OWN UP TO THESE FRONT END PROBLEMS AND STAND BY THEIR PRODUCT AND HELP THE AMERICAN CONSUMERS OUT WITH THE REPAIR BILLS. *TR

AT CERTAIN SPEEDS MY VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE. GOING OVER SPEED BUMPS OR INTO EVEN THE SLIGHTEST POT HOLE THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE. WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR COMING TO A STOP THE FRONT END WILL VIBRATE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED MY FRONT TIRES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND/OR ROTATED TO THE BACK DUE TO AN UNUSUAL WEARING ON THE TIRES. THE WEAR WAS ON THE OUTISDE OF THE TIRES. WHEN TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK INTO CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT THEY ADVISED I WILL PROBABLY SOON BE NEEDING NEW TIRE ROD ENDS AND THIS IS WHAT MAY HAVE CAUSED MY FRONT TIRES TO WEAR SO EASILY. ESPECIALLY PURCHASING THE CAR USED IN JULY 2010 WITH ALL BRAND NEW TIRES AND NOW NEEDING TO REPLACE ALL FOUR AND ITS ONLY DECEMBER 2011. SERVICE DEPARTMENT MANAGER ADVISED THIS WAS A BIG ISSUE WITH THE EARLY MODEL CHARGERS BUT CHRYSLER STILL HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL. I PROLONGED TAKING THE VEHICLE IN TO PURCHASE NEW TIRE RODS. I WENT IN RECENTLY FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED ME I NO LONGER NEED TO BE DRIVING MY VEHICLE WITH THE RODS I HAVE ON. IT WAS A RECOMMENDATION EARLIER BUT NOW HE IS HIGHLY ADVISING ME NOT TO DRIVE. WITHIN 3 OIL CHANGES THE RODS HAVE DIMINISHED GREATLY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE CHRYSLER IS LETTING THE PURCHASERS TAKE THE BUTT-END OF THIS ISSUE.

WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THEN GO DARK (ALL OF THEM). AT THE SAME TIME, ALL THE GAUGES DROP TO ZERO, BOUNCE TO THEIR MAX AND THEN DROP TO A NULL STATE AGAIN. AFTER THIS BLINKING EVENT HAPPENS A FEW TIMES, ALL OF THE MONITORING SYSTEMS AND GAUGES RETURN TO A WORKING STATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE DRIVEABILITY OF THE CAR (BRAKES, TRANS, ETC. ALL STILL FUNCTION). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT CAUSED GREAT CONCERN FOR SAFETY, AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION WHILE UNDER WAY. THE ORIGINAL DATE AND MILEAGE ARE ESTIMATED.

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT COULD BE ANYTHING IN THE FRONT END CAUSING A SHORT AND HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS BUT THIS IS NOT A DETERMINED RECALL AT THIS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AND WANTS TO CHARGE EXTRA MONEY JUST TO LOOK AT IT. CONSIDERING I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER DRIVERS WITH THE SAME MAKE/ MODEL/ YEAR VEHICLE IN CAR FORUMS AND BLOGS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE, I'M HOPING THIS REPORT WILL HELP PUSH FOR AN INVESTIGATION AS I HAVE TO DRIVE FOR MY EMPLOYMENT AND DO NOT WANT TO GET A TRAFFIC TICKET FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1 TO 2 MILES, THE CAR STALLED AFTER MAKING A LEFT TURN AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND DRIVE HOME. THE NEXT DAY THE CAR ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL AGAIN AFTER MAKING A TURN AND STARTING TO ACCELERATE, BUT IT DIDN'T. THIS PROBLEM STARTED IN DECEMBER OF 2012 WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 40000 MILES ON IT. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET, I STOPPED TOPPING OFF THE GAS TANK AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT RE-OCCUR UNTIL OCTOBER 2013. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE AND EVEN IF I DON'T FILL THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WILL STALL AFTER DRIVING IT A FEW MILES. FORTUNATELY, EVERY TIME THE CAR STALLED I WAS TURNING ON TO A QUIET STREET WITH LITTLE TRAFFIC, BUT THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM THAT REQUIRES A RECALL FROM DODGE. *TR

WAS TRAVELING AT 55 MPH AND SLOWER WITH DEFROSTER ON AT 20 DEGREE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE. WINDSHIELD COMPLETELY FOGGED UP, HAD TO PULL OF TO SIDE OF ROAD TO CLEAR WINDSHIELD. WINDSHIELD ONLY CLEARED ABOUT 2/3RDS, AND WOULD NOR CLEAR ON SIDES OF WINDSHIELD. I COULD NOT SEE AROUND CORNERS WITHOUT OPENING WINDOWS. AFTER A WEEK OF FRUSTRATION AND HAZARDOUS DRIVING, I DISCOVERED FROM AN ONLINE COMPLAINT THAT THE RECIRCULATION COVER ON THE HEATER BLOWER WAS STUCK OPEN, AND WAS NOT LETTING FRESH AIR INTO THE VEHICLE. I FOUND THAT THE ARM THAT MOVES THE COVER HAD BROKEN, SO AFTER REMOVING MY GLOVE BOX, I MANUALLY CLOSED THIS COVER. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND THAT THIS IS A RATHER COMMON IN CHARGERS. I AND EVERYONE ON THE ROAD AROUND ME WERE VERY LUCKY THAT THIS DID NOT CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I FEEL THAT DODGE SHOULD BE MAKING OWNERS AWARE OF THIS HAZARDOUS PROBLEM, AND SINCE IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM, THERE SHOULD BE A RE-CALL. FOR A VEHICLE OWNER TO FIX THIS $30 PART, THE REPAIR BILL IS ALMOST $900 DUE TO THE EXTENSIVE JOB OF REMOVING THE WHOLE DASHBOARD AND STEERING COLUMN, AND ALL ASSOCIATED PARTS. I WAS FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO FIND THE PROBLEM BEFORE I OR ANYONE ELSE GOT HURT, BUT OTHERS MAY NOT BE SO FORTUNATE.

ONLINE FORUMS ATTRIBUTE THE CAUSE TO A FAULTY VAPOR PURGE VALVE/EVAP CANISTER AND REQUIRES FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT. *TR

INITIALLY, AFTER REFUELING MY VEHICLE (2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T WITH 5.7L HEMI) AT A GAS STATION, THE ENGINE WOULD HESITATE AND STUMBLE A MILE OR SO LATER, AND OPERATE NORMALLY AFTER A FEW MOMENTS. HOWEVER, BEGINNING WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, WHENEVER I REFUEL AT THE GAS STATION, THE ENGINE WILL HESITATE AND THEN STALL.THE OBD DOES NOT ILLUMINATE THE MIL OR REGISTER A DTC. THE ENGINE IS THEN HARD TO RESTART, AND ONCE RESTARTED AND THE TRANSMISSION IN DRIVE, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT BEGIN TO MOVE IMMEDIATELY UPON PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, AS IF THE TRANSMISSION IS IN PARK OR NEUTRAL. THE STALLING HAPPENS WHEN PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION, WHEN STOPPED AND IDLING, AND HAS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. THIS PROBLEM HAS RESULTED IN SEVERAL NEAR COLLISIONS AS THE UNEXPECTED LOSS OF POWER HAPPENS WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC AND WHILE DRIVING. THIS CONDITION CONTINUES FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND MILES. I HAVE GOTTEN INTO THE PRACTICE OF REFUELING AND DRIVING STRAIGHT HOME TO PARK THE CAR OVERNIGHT, AS IT SEEMS TO DRIVE BETTER GIVEN TIME TO SIT AFTER REFUELING. *TR

MY CAR HAS STALLED 3 SEPARATE TIMES RIGHT AFTER I HAVE RE-FUELED. WHEN DRIVING AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION AND ONTO THE STREET IT HAS SPUTTERED AND THEN TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. MY VEHICLE WILL CONSTANTLY TURN OFF MAKING IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE IT. I HAVE ONCE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION WHEN MY VEHICLE STALLED, I AM LUCKY I WAS NOT STRUCK BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS HAVING THIS HAPPEN WHEN DRIVING. *TR

I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A RED LIGHT. THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE LIKE IT WAS A MANUAL TRANSMISSION AND WAS STALLING, THE CAR IS AN AUTOMATIC. WE STOPPED AT THE STOP LIGHT AND REALIZED THE ENGINE HAD SHUT OFF. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, REMOVED THE KEY, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART. IT ATTEMPTED 3-4 TIMES TO RESTART WITH NO LUCK. I EXITED THE VEHICLE TO ENDURE THE GAS CAP WAS ON AND IT WAS. AFTER WAITING FOR ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART AND WAS SUCCESSFUL. THIS WAS ABOUT 2 MILES AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. THIS SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE CURRENTLY PENDING INVESTIGATION. IT HAS NOT HAPPENED SINCE BUT I HAVE NOT FILLED UP THE GAS TANK SINCE EITHER. *TR

2006 DODGE CHARGER. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED CORROSION WAS THE REASON, THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS BROKE OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. THE CONSUMER STATED HER VEHICLE HAD 2 REAR TIRE BLOW OUTS DUE TO THE SENSORS BREAKING OFF. ONE OF THE BLOW OUTS OCCURRED IN NOVEMBER 2013, WHILE HER SON WAS DRIVING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE RAIN. THE SECOND BLOW OUT OCCURRED IN MARCH 2014. THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSORS WERE REPLACED 5 TIMES. *JB

ON MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T I HAD A LOW TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT. I TRIED TO REMOVE THE TIRES VALVE STEM COVER AND THE VALVE STEM WHICH IS AN INTEGRAL PART OF THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR BROKE IN HALF WHICH DEFLATED MY TIRE COMPLETELY WITHIN 10 SECONDS. 3 OUT OF 4 VALVE STEMS DID THIS. AFTER CONTACTING MY LOCAL DEALER THEY TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A REALLY BIG PROBLEM NOT ONLY WITH THE CHARGER MODEL BUT ALL OF THE MODELS. IF THIS VALVE STEM BROKE OFF DURING DRIVING YOU WOULD HAVE NO WARNING AND AN IMMEDIATE AND COMPLETE LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE COULD OCCUR. WHICH COULD LEAD TO A LOSS OF CONTROL, ESPECIALLY IF IT WAS IN THE FRONT DURING THE WINTER LIKE IT IS NOW. LUCKILY MINE BROKE WHILE IN THE GARAGE. *TR

TREAD SEPARATION, GOODYEAR F1 SUPERCAR TIRES. 4 FAILURES OUT OF 5 TIRES AT APPROX 15,000 MILES. THESE ARE TOP OF THE LINE TIRES 245/45ZR20 . OE ON DODGE SRT 8 CHARGERS AND CHRYSLER 300 SRT 8 CARS. MY CAR HAS NOT BEEN AGGRESSIVELY DRIVEN. PRODUCT REPORTS AT TIRE RACK AND OTHER FEEDBACK LOCATIONS INDICATE THIS PROBLEM IS VERY COMMON. CONSIDERING THAT THESE TIRES ARE PLACED ON HIGH PERFORMANCE VEHICLES THIS TYPE OF FAILURE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I HAVE REPLACED THE TIRES AND KEPT TWO OF THEM THAT EXHIBIT THIS PROBLEM. THE OUTER EDGE OF THE TIRE BECOMES SLICK WHILE RETAINING SIGNIFICANT TREAD DEPTH ELSEWHERE. THE SEPARATION OCCURS ON THE INSIDE EDGE. GOODYEAR DOES NOT HONOR WARRANTY CLAIMS STATING POOR ALIGNMENT OR INSUFFICIENT TREAD DEPTH. CHRYSLER CORP DEALERS HAVE NOT FOUND ALIGNMENT PROBLEMS AND OTHER BRANDS OF TIRES DO NOT EXHIBIT EXCESSIVE INSTANCES OF OUTER EDGE WEAR OR TREAD SEPARATIONS AS A TYPICAL CONDITION WHEN USED AS REPLACEMENT TIRES ON THE SAME VEHICLE. *TR

ONE HOWEVER, SO MANY CRACKS THAT DEALER SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED TO NOT DRIVE CAR DUE TO SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD OF POTENTIAL TIRE RUPTURE. ALL 4 TIRES RECOMMENDED TO BE REPLACED. BUT THE DEALER SAYS THEY WON'T HONOR THE "MANUFACTURERS" WARRANTY. ONE TIRE COMPANY INDICATED A PRIOR RECALL OF WANLI BRAND TIRES, YET, I COULD NOT FIND A RECALL FOR THIS TIRE ON THIS SITE. WAS THERE AN ACTUAL RE-CALL ON WANLI PERFORMANCE TIRES FOR SIDEWALL DEFECTS? I FOUND, ON THE INTERNET, THAT THIS TIRE, WANLI S-1098,HAS A "100 PERCENT FREE REPLACEMENT" WARRANTY FOR THE LIFE OF THE TIRE. HOWEVER, THERE ARE NO DEALERS IN MY AREA THAT DEAL WITH WANLI ANYMORE, PRESUMABLY DUE TO "POOR QUALITY", "TOO MANY PROBLEMS" AND AN ALLEGED RECALL PER MY LOCAL LES SCHWAB TIRE STORE. CAN YOU LET ME KNOW OF ANY RECALLS ON THE WANLI BRAND TIRE? SINCE THE TIRE WAS INSTALLED BY THE DEALER PRIOR TO SALE( TO ENCOURAGE SALE) DOES THAT MAKE THE AUTO DEALERSHIP THE TIRE DEALER AND SHOULD THEY HONOR THE WARRANTY? *TR

VEHICLE IS STALLING AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. OCCURS WHEN IDLING (SUCH AS AT A STOPLIGHT) OR WHEN DECELERATING AT WHICH IT ALSO LOSES THE POWER STEERING. HIGHLY CONCERNED THIS WILL OCCUR IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. CAN RESTART THE CAR USUALLY AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS. MAY GO TO THE NEXT LIGHT/STOP AND SAME INCIDENT WILL REPEAT ITSELF. AFTER DRIVING THE CAR FOR A FEW MILES... (PRESUMABLY AS THE FUEL LEVEL GOES DOWN)... CAR BEHAVES AS NORMAL - WITHOUT ISSUE. SYMPTOMS ARE VERY MUCH LIKE A BAD TANK OF GAS. TOOK CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTIC CHECKS AND NO ISSUES ARE REPORTED. DODGE REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING UNTIL DEALER CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. YET, THERE IS THE EXACT SAME TYPE OF INVESTIGATION THAT HAS ALREADY OCCURRED (PE13016) - HTTP://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/CARS/PROBLEMS/DEFECT/RESULTS.CFM?ACTION_NUMBER=PE13016&SEARCHTYPE=QUICKSEARCH&SUMMARY=TRUE WHERE CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGES THE PROBLEM WITH MY 5.7L ENGINE. IS FRUSTRATING AS CAN TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SHORTLY AFTER THE PROBLEM (WHEN IT IS OCCURRING) AND THEY INSPECT TO FIND EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE IN FIND WORKING ORDER. YET, I CERTAINLY KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS. :-( *TR

AFTER FILLING UP FUEL, WENT TO ACCELERATE AND CAR STARTED SPUTTERING, THIS HAPPENED WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY. SECOND TIME WAS WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT, LIGHT TURNED GREEN, PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND CAR DIED. WAS ABLE TO COAST 2 LANES OVER TO THE SIDE OF ROAD. CAR WOULD RESTART BUT DIE AFTER 30 SECONDS. HAD TO CAR TOWED HOME. THIRD TIME, CAR DIED AT A BUSY INTERSECTION AND WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND MOVED TO A SAFE PLACE. FOURTH TIME IT DIED WHILE TURNING INTO A SHOPPING CENTER. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FAULT IN THE CAR AND SHOULD BE A RECALL AND PAID BY CHRYSLER, LUCKILY I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH SOMEONE REAR ENDING ME. MY CAR IS AT THE DEALERSHIP WITH A $2000 CHARGE TO HAVE THIS FIXED. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO BE PAYING THIS, AS IT IS A DEFECT IN THE CAR ITSELF!! *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T WITH A 5.7L ENGINE. MY CAR HAS STARTED TO RANDOMLY STALL MOSTLY AT SLOWER SPEEDS WHEN APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT OR MAKING A TURN. THERE IS NO WARNING THAT IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, IT JUST SPUTTERS, BUCKS AND THEN STALLS. THERE ARE NO CODES AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR. IT WILL RESTART IF I PUT IT IN EITHER PARK OR NEUTRAL BUT CONTINUES TO CHUG AND SPUTTER AFTER RESTARTING. IT WILL DO THIS FOR AWHILE AND THEN WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN FOR SOME TIME. I NEVER KNOW WHEN IT IS GOING TO DO IT OR HOW LONG IT WILL LAST. IT IS VERY UNNERVING SINCE IT HAPPENS AT LIGHTS AND IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS. IT HAS HAPPENED A FEW TIMES AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO QUICKLY RESTART IT IN NEUTRAL AND NOT GET INTO A BAD SITUATION! IT'S VERY FRIGHTENING SINCE I LIVE IN A BIG CITY WITH HEAVY TRAFFIC. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS!!!!! AFTER LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND SEEING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND FIX IT. A RECALL WOULD BE APPROPRIATE. *TR

AFTER FUELING UP/TOPPING OFF TO THE FIRST SHUT-OFF ONLY, AFTER PULLING AWAY FROM THE GAS PUMP, THE CAR HESITATED, STALLED AND FAILED TO RESTART RIGHT AWAY. IT HAS BEEN INCREASING THIS BEHAVIOR FROM RARELY TO ALMOST EVERY TIME I FUEL UP - I AM NOW AT 171,*** MILES. LAST NIGHT I FUELED UP, DROVE ABOUT 300 YARDS AND PARKED FOR THE NIGHT. THIS MORNING THE CAR FAILED TO START. AFTER ABOUT 6 ATTEMPTS, I FLOORED THE ACCELERATOR WHILE CRANKING AND THE CAR STARTED. AFTER PULLING OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHERE I WAS PARKED AND ONTO THE HIGHWAY, HE CAR SPUTTERED/HESITATED 4 TIMES (KIND OF LIKE A BUCKING BRONCO) ABOUT 70 YARDS DOWN THE ROAD, WITH TRAFFIC CATCHING UP TO ME AND THEN IT SETTLED BACK TO ITS NORMAL SELF. ABOUT 3 WEEKS AGO, WHILE TRAVELING THROUGH TENNESSEE, I FUELED UP, PULLED INTO THE STREET AND APPROACHED A RED LIGHT AND I STOPPED AT WHICH TIME THE CAR DID ITS HESITATION AND STALLED. I TRIED TO START THE CAR, BUT IT WOULD NOT START. I HIT THE 4-WAY FLASHERS AND I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 25 SECONDS BEFORE THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE STARTED AGAIN. I DON'T USE CHEAP GAS, I DON'T GAS UP AT A STATION IF I SEE A TANKER TRUCK FILLING THE TANKS (OR PULLING OUT OF THE STATION) AND I STOP FILLING AFTER THE INITIAL SHUT-OFF OF THE PUMP. ON A SIDE NOTE, SINCE DAY ONE (SEP 2005), WHEN GASSING UP, I HAVE TO REST THE PUMP HANDLE ON THE FILLER DOOR, WHICH ENDS UP PUTTING THE PUMP HANDLE UPSIDE DOWN AT ABOUT THE 10 OR 11 O'CLOCK POSITION DEPENDING ON THE PADDING OF THE HANDLE. ANY OTHER POSITION WOULD CAUSE THE PUMP HANDLE TO CLICK OFF ALMOST IMMEDIATELY WHEN TRYING TO FILL THE TANK. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON VARIOUS CHARGER FORUMS, I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THE ABOVE "PROBLEMS". I AM AFRAID ONE OF THESE DAYS THIS BEHAVIOR WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT WITH SOMEBODY GETTING HURT OR POSSIBLY EVEN KILLED, EITHER IN A REAR-END COLLISION OR A T-BONE COLLISION. *TR

TURNING ONTO ON-RAMP OF A HIGHWAY I WAS MOVING ABOUT 20 MILES AN HOUR WHEN THE ENGINE DIED AND I LOST POWER STEERING. ADDITIONALLY, I FELT A VERY TOUGH TRANSMISSION SHIFT 2-3 SECONDS BEFORE I LOST POWER STEERING AND WHEN THE ENGINE DIED. THE CAR TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO TURN OVER. A VERY LOUD WHIRRING NOISE BEGAN IN THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION AREA AND IS YET TO STOP.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH THE CAR STALLED WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT OR ENGINE MISFIRE/STUTTERING. THE STALL WAS AS IF THE KEY WAS TURNED TO THE OFF POSITION. THE CAR COASTED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, RESTART WAS ATTEMPTED AND THE CAR STARTED PERFECTLY, I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN AFTER A FEW MILES, RESTARTED AND IT STALLED AGAIN - THIS CONTINUED, EACH TIME WITH THE TIME DRIVEN BEING LESS. ALL THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE. I FINALLY MADE IT TO A SHOP WHERE THE CAR WAS DIAGNOSED AND THE CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR AND CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR WAS REPLACED. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE STALLING ISSUE. THE CAR WILL HAVE THE PCM REPLACED IN HOPE THAT THIS WILL SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE FAILURE ESPECIALLY WHEN TRAVELING AT HIGH SPEEDS - THE CAR LOSES ALL POWER AND IS VERY DIFFICULT TO MOVE INTO THE SHOULDER WHEN IT STALLS (NO POWER STEERING). THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN THAT CAN BE CATASTROPHIC.

MOST RECENT EPISODE HAPPENED AS I WAS PREPARING TO ENTER THE GAS STATIONS DRIVE-THRU CAR WASH...I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO ENTER THE CODE FOR THE WASH AND JUST AS I STARTED TO MOVE FORWARD THE ENGINE STALLED. HAPPENED A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO ON THE PUBLIC RIGHT OF WAY, I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT (JUST AFTER A FUEL UP AND JUST BEFORE I WAS ABOUT TO ENTER THE FREEWAY). ANOTHER TIME I WAS IN MOTION AND IT STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION. THE STALLING AFFECTS THE TRANSMISSION. THE ENGINE IS WARM WHEN THIS OCCURS. IT TAKES ABOUT 3 ATTEMPTS TO SUCCESSFULLY RESTART. *TR

MY VEHICLE BEGAN SHUTTING OFF WHILE IDLE ABOUT ABOUT A YEAR AGO. IT STARTED BACK UP IMMEDIATELY AND I WAS ABLE TO CONTINUE DRIVING. INITIALLY THERE WERE NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS THAT CAME UP. IT SOON HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE AND THEY PULLED SOME CODES THAT THEY SAID THE DEALER HAD TO REPAIR. BY THE TIME I GOT TO THE DEALER THE LIGHTS WENT OFF AND I SHARED THE OTHER DIAGNOSTIC WITH THEM BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE WHAT WAS REALLY WRONG. IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN MONTHS LATER AND I TOOK IT TO YET ANOTHER MECHANIC. THIS MECHANIC 'RESET THE COMPUTER" AND MADE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS TURN OFF. IT STOPPED FOR A TIME BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK. THIS TIME (140,000 MILES) THE ENGINE SHUT OFF ON THE HIGHWAY! I WAS SLIGHTLY TAPPED ON THE REAR BY THE DRIVER BEHIND ME. ANOTHER TIME A SEMI TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME AND I STALLED. LUCKILY WE WERE IN SLOW MOVING TRAFFIC. AGAIN AT HIGH SPEEDS THE ENGINE WOULD TURN BACK ON BUT THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE MY BABY IN THIS VEHICLE. THERE ARE A TON OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON DODGE FORUMS WITH THESE VEHICLES. DODGE NEEDS TO FIX THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT OR DIES!!!

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.

PROBLEM OCCURRED AND CONTINUES TO OCCUR AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. FIRST INSTANCE WAS IN NOVEMBER 2010 AND MOST RECENTLY DECEMBER 2013. CAR WILL STALL NUMEROUS TIMES UNTIL SOME AMOUNT OF GAS IS BURNED OFF AFTER DRIVING. FIRST INSTANCE OCCURRED MAKING A TURN IN FRONT OF A RAILROAD TRACK. OTHER INSTANCES HAVE BEEN ON A FREEWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC CAUSING ME TO HAVE TO PULL OVER. CAR CAN RESTART ON THE FIRST RE-ATTEMPT OR TAKE UP TO 4 ATTEMPTS. CAR WILL USUALLY STALL AGAIN SECONDS LATER. A WORKAROUND IS NOT TO FILL UP THE TANK ALL THE WAY (TO THE AUTO SHUTOFF OF THE GAS PUMP) BUT THIS DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK. THIS IS WITH A 2006 DODGE CHARGER WITH A 5.7 LITER HEMI.

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER THAT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS 97284 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR AT PHILLIPS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP IN OCALA FL. THE PCM HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THIS ISSUE STILL CONTINUES. VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITH OUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH IN THE CENTER LANE DURING BUSY TRAFFIC AND IT WAS DARK, THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I ALSO HAD A MY 14 MONTH BABY IN THE CAR. THERE WAS LOST OF POWER, STEERING WAS LOST. I HAD TO SHIFT IT IN NEUTRAL AND GLIDE TO THE SHOULDER LANE ALMOST BEING HIT BY A TRUCK. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED, WHEN I SHIFTED IT IN DRIVE AND PROCEEDED TO TRY AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THE ENGINE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL & ELECTRICAL LIGHT WAS ON. I TRIED RESTARTING IT AND IT STARTED AND DROVE LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED, EVEN THE LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND SAYS THAT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING, THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD KEEP MY VEHICLE AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON, IF THEY DON'T FIND ANYTHING THAN THEY WOULD KEEP IT AND TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I COULD BE WITHOUT MY CAR UNTIL THEY FIGURE IT OUT. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEASE 10 MORE TIMES. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THERE IS NOW AN INVESTIGATION ONGOING BUT UNTIL THEN MANY OWNERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM OR GO WITHOUT THEIR VEHICLE. MANY HAVE SAID THAT IT HAPPENED AFTER REFUELING THEIR CAR, FOR ME IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES AFTER REFUELING, BUT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IT WAS AT 1/2 AND 1/4 TANK. A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT TO INCLUDE SERIOUS INJURIES AND OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER CAN HAPPEN AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN? BEFORE THIS OCCURS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY AND THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO CORRECT HIS ISSUE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS THIS MORNING, AS I ACCELERATED AWAY FROM THE GAS STATION THE CAR BEGAN TO BUCK AND JERK. IT SMOOTHED OUT FOR A LITTLE WHILE, THEN AFTER ACCELERATING AWAY FROM THE NEXT STOPLIGHT IT JERKED AND MADE A LOUD NOISE. THIS IS HEAVY SUBURBAN TRAFFIC, SO VERY STOP-AND-GO. THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL, AND ONLY RESTART IF I DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR WHILE STARTING. GO A LITTLE BIT FURTHER, THEN BUCK AND STALL AGAIN. VERY DANGEROUS! I'M LEARNING THROUGH ONLINE VEHICLE FORUMS THAT THIS IS A RELATIVELY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR/MAKE/MODEL VEHICLE'S GAS TANK AND THE INTEGRAL "ROLL-OVER" VALVE WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO PREVENT LIQUID FUEL FROM ENTERING THE ENGINE, YET THE MANUFACTURER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE A FAULTY DESIGN THAT IS LEADING TO POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATIONS. WILL IT TAKE ACCIDENTS, FIRES AND DEATH TO MAKE IT A HIGHER PRIORITY? *TR

FIRST INSTANCE WAS ON SUNDAY, 6 MAY 2012. CAR STALLED AFTER TURNING ONTO CITY STREET WHILE ACCELERATING TO POSTED SPEED: 35 MPH. IF FUEL TANK IS FILLED TO CLICK ON GAS PUMP (FULL TANK) THIS CONTINUES TO HAPPEN, ESPECIALLY IN VERY HUMID WEATHER CONDITIONS/RAIN. CAR HAS ALSO STALLED ON HILLS AT STOP SIGNS OR TRAFFIC LIGHTS AND HAS STALLED AT ON-RAMPS TO LOCAL INTERSTATE HIGHWAY/CITY BYPASS, GIVEN THE ABOVE FULL FUEL TANK ISSUE. IF I DON'T FILL THE TANK ABOVE THE 7/8 MARK ON THE FUEL GAGE INDICATOR, THE CAR DOES NOT STALL. IF I EXCEED THE 7/8 MARK, THEN THE CAR DOES STALL, MULTIPLE TIMES IF VERY HUMID CONDITIONS EXIST AND WILL CONTINUE UNTIL THE FUEL TANK IS AT OR BELOW 7/8 CAPACITY. I'VE HAD APPROXIMATELY 22 STALLS SINCE SUNDAY 6 MAY 2012. IT'S INCONVENIENT TO HAVE TO GUESS WHEN TO STOP THE FUEL PUMP AT GAS STATIONS AND VERY FRIGHTENING TO STALL IN TRAFFIC, ESPECIALLY AT ON-RAMPS TO HIGHWAYS. *TR

LATER FOLLOWED BY EXTREME MOTION IN THE WHEEL FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND EVENTUALLY THE BRAKES BEGAN TO CEASE DURING ACCELERATION.

I was almost rear-ended by a semi when the vehicle stalled at a light while picking my son up from work. It seems to stall at stop signs or waiting at lights completely. It stalls while idling here and there sometimes. Sometimes when driving on the e-way it jerks as it wants to stall but not completely. The main codes that pop up is u0100. Sometimes p0700 pops up and then sometimes the u0100 pops up along with a bunch of other codes. This has just started happening with my previous 2006 Dodge Charger 5.7 which has happened once or twice and a u0100 code pops up when scanned. I've scoured the internet for solutions and notice. There's a lot of people going through this similar situation and it so happens to be the 2006 year that's plagued with this problem. Even getting a new PCM doesn't solve the problem. Whomever is in charge of the Dodge company needs to figure out the exact cause of this problem before a driver/passengers gets injured or killed in an accident because of it. Please put some fire under their butt

AFTER SPENDING THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS GETTING, TCM, ECM, MAJOR TUNE-UP, SPARK PLUG COILS, SENSORS REPAIRED THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTED. I HAVE HAD OVER THREE DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS ATTEMPT TO DIAGNOSE THIS ISSUE AND NO ONE COULD FIGURE IT OUT. I NOTICED THAT THE PROBLEM OCCURRED EVEN MORE FREQUENTLY AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION. DRIVING LIKE THIS MAKES ME FEEL VERY UNSAFE. THIS CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND IN FREEWAY TRAFFIC. AFTER READING SEVERAL ONLINE THREADS IT APPEARS THAT OTHER 06 CHARGER OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES AND IT TENDS TO POINT TO A FAULTY SENSOR IN THE FUEL TANK. I NEED THIS MATTER RESOLVED.

AFTER I FILL UP MY GAS TANK (I DON'T OVER FILL) MY CAR HAS INTERMITTENT ENGINE STALLS CAUSING ME TO LOSE THROTTLE RESPONSE AND MY POWER STEERING. SOMETIMES THE CAR HAS ENOUGH RPM TO RESTART THE MOTOR BUT MOST OF THE TIME I HAVE TO SHIFT TO NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY TO RESTART. THIS IS HAPPENING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE!! SCARES ME TO DEATH. NOW I HAVE THIS STALLING ISSUE EVERY SINGLE TIME I FILL UP. WHEN SLOWING DOWN IS WHEN THE INCIDENT IS MOST PREVALENT BUT EVEN TAKING TURNS ITS HAPPENED AND I LOSE POWER STEERING.

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WOULD STUMBLE, MISS AND START JERKING. WAS MAKING A 90 DEGREE RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN, I HAD NO POWER STEERING NOR BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS AS I ENDED UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET. CAR RESTARTED AND RAN A FEW FEET BEFORE THE STUMBLING, JERKING AND MISSING STARTED TO OCCUR ONCE AGAIN. AFTER READING UP ON THIS PROBLEM, I HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED, AS IT (THE TANK) HAD ALL OF THE SIGNS OF A BAD "ROLL-OVER" VALVE. THIS VALVE IS MOLDED INTO THE GAS TANK AND IS NON-REPLACEABLE.

CAR DIES LOSING POWER STEERING AND BREAKS. THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE BAD GAS BUT IT HAS SINCE REPEATED EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED.

AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK, WITHIN MINUTES I WAS TURNING LEFT IN AN INTERSECTION WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED AND THE STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT AND AN ACCIDENT WAS BARELY AVOIDED. THIS WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. IN FACT I WAS ALMOST STRUCK BY TWO VEHICLES, ONE COMING AT ME AND THE OTHER BEHIND ME. I RESTARTED THE CAR, DROVE THROUGH THE INTERSECTION FOR ABOUT 5-10 SECONDS AND THE CAR STOPPED AGAIN, SAME STEERING DIFFICULTIES. STARTED THE CAR A THIRD TIME AND IT MOVED FORWARD WITH NO MORE STOPS. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 20 MORE TIME IN THE PAST 3 YEARS. ADDITIONALLY, WITHIN THE PAST 6 MONTHS, IT HAS BEEN VERY DIFFICULT TO PUT FUEL INTO THE TANK. IT WOULD TAKE ABOUT 20 MINUTES BECAUSE THE NOZZLE WOULD SHUT OFF. I COULD ONLY PUT IN VERY SMALL AMOUNTS EACH SQUEEZE OF THE HANDLE. I FIND THIS NOT ONLY ANNOYING BUT ALSO QUESTION THE DESIGN OF THE WHOLE FUEL RECEIVING AND STORAGE SYSTEM OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE ASKED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE PROBLEMS AND WAS ADVISED THAT A NEW GAS TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE INSTALLED FOR APPROXIMATELY $1,200! A NEW GAS TANK? THAT WOULD CONFIRM IN MY MIND THAT THESE PROBLEMS ARE CAUSED ABSOLUTELY BY A DESIGN FLAW AND SHOULD BE RECALLED AND REPAIRED ASAP BEFORE THERE ARE FATALITIES LINKED TO THIS FLAW.

I BOUGHT MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T BRAND NEW IN JUNE OF 2006. I ALWAYS FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS UNTIL THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTOFF. I NEVER TOPPED OFF WITH GAS OR CONTINUED FILLING THE TANK ONCE THE PUMP WOULD AUTOMATICALLY STOP. THIS WAS NEVER A PROBLEM FOR 5 YEARS. LAST YEAR IN OCTOBER OF 2011 AT AROUND 73,000 MILES THE CAR WOULD STALL AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE OCCASIONALLY RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP IN LIVE TRAFFIC USUALLY AT A STOP LIGHT OR PARKING LOT DRIVEWAY. I WOULD HAVE TO PUT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER FROM DRIVE TO PARK SINCE THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND RESTART THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEM. TODAY AT 75,600 MILES ON MARCH 27, 2012; I FILLED UP AS USUAL AND THE CAR ENGINE TURNED OFF IN TRAFFIC ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I READ ON CHRYSLER OWNERS' FORUMS ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PLENTY OF CHRYSLER VEHICLES AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF IT. THE FIX IS A WHOLE NEW FUEL TANK WITH A BETTER FUEL VAPOR VALVE AND THE COST WOULD RUN $1300-$2000 FOR VARIOUS CAR, VAN, AND TRUCK OWNERS. THE ONLY OTHER METHOD I WAS ADVISED BY A DODGE SERVICE ADVISOR WAS NOT TO FILL THE CAR UP ALL THE WAY, PERHAPS TO 3/4 OF A TANK FULL. THIS IS DANGEROUS FOR ANY DRIVER WHEN A CAR ENGINE STOPS, STEERING LOCKS, AND THERE IS TRAFFIC BEHIND YOU. SOME DRIVERS WILL NOT KNOW HOW TO REACT IN THIS SITUATION. CHRYSLER SHOULD OFFER A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM WITH THE GAS TANK INSTEAD OF CHARGING THE OWNER. *TR

I PURCHASED THIS 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T FROM A DEALERSHIP IN WOODLAND, CA IMMEDIATELY AFTER LEAVING THE LOT I DROVE APPROX. 20 MILES ON MY WAY HOME THE CAR STARTED STALLING WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, I WILL BE DRIVING ALONG AND IT WILL SUDDENLY JERK AND LOSE ALL POWER FOR A SPLIT SECOND (IF SOMEONE WAS RIDING MY BUMPER IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ACCIDENT FOR SURE) AS IT LOST POWER THE RPM GAUGE WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN AND JUMPED BACK UP AS IF THE CAR DIED COMPLETELY AND RESTARTED ITSELF, IT CHIMED EVEN AS IF I HAD JUST STARTED THE CAR. I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE ONLINE AND SEE ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN MY HOMETOWN AND THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM, SAID IT WAS SPARK PLUGS ETC I ENDED UP SPENDING $550 AND ITS STILL STALLING SOMETIMES UP TO 15-20 TIMES A DAY ITS VERY DANGEROUS UNFORTUNATELY THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND I CANT AFFORD TO KEEP DISHING MONEY OUT TO DODGE. I SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES AS I'VE SEEN ONLINE VERY MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM BUT THERE'S NO SOLUTION AS FAR AS I CAN FIND! IM KINDA SCARED TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THIS BUT ITS MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION SO THIS NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO!! ITS DANGEROUS! *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT 5.7L HEMI. I JUST RECENTLY PURCHASED THIS CAR. AT TIMES WHEN I AM ACCELERATING QUICKLY OR PRESS WIDE OPEN THROTTLE THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF FOR A SECOND AND THEN CUTS RIGHT BACK ON. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL AS THE LIGHTNING BOLT ICON FLASHES AND I ALSO HEAR A CHIME AS WELL. THE RPMS DROP ALL THE WAY TO ZERO AS IF IT IS STALLING AND LOSING ALL POWER BUT IMMEDIATELY CUTS RIGHT BACK ON. THROUGH RESEARCH I HAVE NOTICED THIS IS AN ON-GOING PROBLEM WITH A LOT OF CHARGER OWNERS AND A RECALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN ISSUED BY DODGE BY NOW BEFORE SOMEONE LOSES THEIR LIFE.

06 DODGE CHARGER WITH 33,000 MILES. CAR HAS BEGAN TO VIOLENTLY SHAKE AND ENGINE LIGHT WILL BEGIN BLINKING WHILE ALMOST STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT OR FULLY STOPPED. I HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION FOR A SHORT TIME AND THEN RESTART TO GET OUT OF THE INTERSECTION. I DO NOT SEE HOW THIS CAN POSSIBLE BE SAFE FOR MY PASSENGERS(3 & 7 YR OLD), MYSELF OR OTHER CARS. THIS HAS OCCURRED 4 TIMES SINCE MAY 2008. THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED OXYGEN SENSOR, FLASHED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (SAYING LOST COMMUNICATION WITH STEERING CONTROL MODULE), AND ON JULY 29TH REPLACED THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE. HAD CAR BACK A FEW DAYS AND BACKED OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, PUT CAR IN DRIVE AND PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR DID NOTHING. AFTER A FEW SECONDS THE ACCELERATOR WORKED & I MOVED ABOUT 10 FEET. THE CAR STARTED SHAKING VIOLENTLY/ENGINE LIGHT BEGAN BLINKING AND I HAD TO SHUT THE CAR OFF. FORTUNATELY, NO ONE WAS AROUND ME THIS TIME. WHEN I RESTARTED THE CAR, THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYED ON CONSTANT(NOT BLINKING), WHICH I HAVE BEEN TOLD OVER & OVER BY THE DEALERSHIP IS SAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE 2 MILES HOME. TOOK CAR INTO DEALERSHIP AGAIN ON AUG 4, 2008. WAS TOLD THIS TIME THAT THERE IS A TSB & THEY HAVE TO ORDER PARTS. BUT TO PICK IT UP UNTIL THE PARTS COME IN THAT IT IS SAFE TO DRIVE. *TR THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE HAD AN EVAPORATION LEAK. THERE WERE TIMES WHEN THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, THE ENGINE LIGHT AND ESP/BAS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER THEN STATED THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM WAS A MULTI-CYLINDER MISFIRE AT CYLINDERS 2-4.

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 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 CONTROL ARMS HAVE BEEN CHANGED, BUT I AM IN FEAR THE REAR CAMBER MAY BE COMPLETELY OUT. ALSO, SOMETIMES MY CAR DOES NOT WANT TO TURN OVER, BUT YET THE BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR ARE FINE. ALSO, MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IS A MESS. I CAN'T ROLL DOWN MY WINDOW UNLESS I SHUT OFF MY AIR OR HEAT. THEN WHEN I TURN ON MY AIR OR HEAT ALL MY INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OUT. PLUS, SOMETIMES MY TACHOMETER DOESN'T WANT TO WORK. I HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION, IT IS ALWAYS MAINTAINED, BUT YET I FEEL LIKE I AM ABOUT TO HAVE TO DUMP THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS INTO THIS CHEAPLY MADE SUSPENSION. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CHARGER OWNERS OF THE SAME YEAR STATING THEY HAVE HAD THESE ISSUES AND IF A RECALL CAN NOT BE DONE THEN A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT SHOULD BE PUT INTO MOTION. I'M HOPING DODGE WILL GIVE US A CHANCE TO KEEP THEIR CUSTOMERS, BECAUSE AT THIS MORNING I AM READY TO GIVE UP.

I WAS LEAVING A STORE AND STARTED MY CAR. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL, BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR AND CAME HOME AND FOUND A MULTITUDE OF INFORMATION ON THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR MODEL CAR. I ALSO FOUND OUT HOW TO TAKE THE CONSOLE APART TO GET IN AND SHIFT THE CAR WITHOUT THE SHIFTING LEVER, SO I WAS ABLE TO GET IT HOME AND DRIVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THIS VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM FOR "CERTAIN 2005-2007 DODGE CHARGERS, MAGNUMS, AND 300S." I HAD THEM REPAIR IT FOR $155. THE DEALERSHIP SHARED WITH ME THAT THEY SERVICE 4-5 VEHICLES A WEEK WITH THIS IDENTICAL PROBLEM THAT WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. THAT IS IN GREENSBORO NC, WHICH IS NOT A SUPER-LARGE MARKET BUT IS NOT A TINY MARKET EITHER. I WOULD LIKE FOR SOMEONE TO EXPLAIN TO ME IN DETAIL WHY MY SPECIFIC CAR WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL.

HI, I'VE HAD A NUMBER OF ISSUES WITH THE FUEL TANK SCENARIO THE EARLIER MODELS SUFFER WITH. WHEN I FILL THE CAR, IT STALLS A NUMBER OF TIMES. I WAS IN A SITUATION WHERE I WAS COMING TO A LIGHT, THE RPM'S STARTED TO DROP AND THE ENGINE STARTED TO DIE AS I WAS BREAKING. THEN THE CAR REVVED BACK TO LIFE AND THIS CAUSE THE RPM'S TO SHOOT UP JOLTING THE VEHICLE FORWARD. IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT DIED YET AGAIN HOWEVER THE ISSUE IS I LOST ALL POWER, STEERING, BRAKES, EVERYTHING. FROM THE JOLT FORWARD I CAME DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO REAR ENDING THE CAR IN FRONT OF ME WITH A HEAVY BRAKE PEDAL. AT THIS POINT I WAS JARRED A BIT, AND NEEDED TO GET THE CAR GOING AGAIN. I WENT TO START IT AND IT DID NO'T WANT TO TURN OVER FOR ROUGHLY 30 SECONDS. THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THERE WAS A LINEUP OF DISGRUNTLED DRIVERS BEHIND ME AS I MADE EFFORTS TO GET GOING AGAIN. THEN INEVITABLY THE VEHICLE DIED YET AGAIN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND WENT THROUGH THE SAME SITUATION. TO NEGATE THIS, I HAVE MADE EFFORTS TO NOT FILL THE TANK. NOW THE BIGGER ISSUE I AM HAVING IS THAT WHEN I GO TO PUT GAS IN THE CAR, IT DOES NOT TAKE. I CANNOT GET A GALLON IN WITHOUT THE PUMP CLICKING OFF. IT TAKES ME QUITE SOME TIME, 10 MINUTES EVEN TO SIMPLY PUT $20 IN THE CAR, AND I GET VERY FRUSTRATED GAS ATTENDANTS HERE IN JERSEY IF I'M NOT PERMITTED TO DO MAN THE PUMP. YOU NEED TO LITERALLY STAND WITH IT AND CONTINUE TO RESET THE PUMP AS IT SLOWLY TAKES AND CONTINUOUSLY CLICKS OFF. THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE SOLVED, IT I'S SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE AND DANGEROUS. I HAVE MANY OTHER INSTANCES & DATES WITH STALLING AND JOLTING ISSUES AFTER FILLUP. EVEN WHEN I LEAVE A 1/4 OF THE TANK EMPTY, I STILL GET SOME SYMPTOMS. NOT AS OFTEN, BUT THE CAR STILL DOES DIE OUT. NOW THAT IT IS SO DIFFICULT TO FILL, IT IS INCONVENIENT TO DRIVE. I LOVE THE CAR BUT THE ISSUES ARE ALMOST NOT WORTH IT, ESPECIALLY WITH HOW THIRSTY THE SRT IS-NO PUN THANKS *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT SCARES ME TO DEATH. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURE.

MY CAR WAS USING WAY TOO MUCH GAS COMPARED TO WHAT IT USED TO AND WAS RUNNING POORLY SO I TOOK IT IN FOR A TUNE UP. THE FILTERS, PLUGS, FLUIDS, ETC. WERE DONE. ABOUT TWO WEEKS AFTER THE TUNE UP I BEGAN TO HAVE TROUBLE. AT FIRST I THOUGHT IT WAS THE SHOP THAT HAD DONE THE TUNE UP BUT AFTER READING HUNDREDS OF LETTERS FROM OTHER PEOPLE, I KNOW NOW THAT IT IS THE CAR. THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS: WHEN I BEGAN TO ACCELERATE AFTER STOPPING AT STOP SIGN, MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AND DIED WITHIN TWO BLOCKS OF THE STOP SIGN. THE CAR STARTED UP AND SEEMED FINE. APPROXIMATELY A WEEK AND A HALF LATER, AGAIN, I WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP SIGN AND THE CAR STALLED ABOUT 4 BLOCKS FROM THE STOP SIGN. THIS CONTINUED TO HAPPEN INTERMITTENTLY UNTIL SEPTEMBER15, 2014, WHEN THE CAR DIED WHEN I WAS APPROACHING THE STOP SIGN AND HAD TO BE TOWED. I HAVE 5 GRANDCHILDREN THAT I TRANSPORT DAILY AND THIS CAR IS JUST NOT SAFE TO DO SO ANYMORE. THANK GOODNESS I HAVE NOT GONE OUT OF TOWN WITH A CAR LOAD OF CHILDREN AND HAVE THIS HAPPEN.

2 MONTHS AGO I WAS LEAVING WORK AND GOT IN MY CAR TO GO HOME. MY CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I HAD IT TOWED TO A DEALER AND WAS CHARGED 1500 TO REPAIR!! AFTER LEARNING OF ALL THE GO RECALLS, I'VE COME ACROSS MANY PEOPLE WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT SOME CARS WERE RECALLED AND SOME NOT, FOR THE EXACT SAME ISSUE! HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? I AM REQUESTING THIS ISSUE BE INVESTIGATED AND GO TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE! SOME ARE BEING TOLD IT WASN'T RECALLED DUE TO NOT BEING A SAFETY ISSUE??? HOW IS IT NOT A SAFETY ISSUE IF YOU CAN'T MOVE YOUR CAR? I COULD HAVE BEEN ANYWHERE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE I HAD TO LEAVE. FURTHERMORE, EVEN IF IT'S NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE, HOW IS THE CONSUMER TO BE HELD LIABLE FOR AN OBVIOUS MANUFACTURER DEFECT?? PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS MATTER. *JS

THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN FLAWLESS SINCE PURCHASED NEW IN 2006. IN NOV. 2013 IT STALLED WHEN BACKING OUT OF THE GARAGE. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND WAS FINE FOR 5 MILES THEN STALLED AGAIN. EVER SINCE THEN THE PROBLEM HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND ALMOST CAUSED MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE VEHICLE STALLING WHEN CROSSING INTERSECTIONS OR MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS. I HAVE NOT DRIVEN THIS CAR IN MONTHS DUE TO THIS AS IT IS NOT SAFE FOR ME OR OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. I HAVE SPENT CLOSE TO $2,000.00 IN MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO FIX THIS VEHICLE FOLLOWING REPAIR MANUAL PROCEDURES VIA THE DEALER. I HAVE HAD THE PCM, REPLACED TWICE (FIRST ONE WAS DEFECTIVE RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX), TCM REPLACED, BATTERY REPLACED, THROTTLE BODY REPLACED, MAP SENSOR REPLACED, ASD RELAY REPLACED AND SPARK PLUGS REPLACED WITH ZERO IMPROVEMENTS. I USED TO ENJOY THIS VEHICLE AND NOW IT IS A DEATH TRAP WITH THE WAY IT IS BEHAVING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE AS THERE ARE TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ON THE ROAD EXHIBITING THE SAME SYMPTOMS AND DEALER TECHS UNABLE TO PROPERLY DIAGNOSE AND REPAIR THEM. *TR

MINUTES AFTER FILLING MY TANK WITH GAS, I DROVE LESS THAN A MILE AND TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT. I WAS STILL DRIVING, AROUND 15 MPH, WHEN I HEARD A DING, AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND QUICKLY NOTICED A LOSS OF BRAKING AS WELL. IT WAS THEN I REALIZED THE CAR HAD STALLED WHILE I WAS STILL MOVING! THANKFULLY I HAD NO ONE AROUND AND WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH WHERE I COULD SLOWLY COME TO A STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE, AND THE CAR PROCEEDED TO STALL OUT 2 MORE TIMES JUST SITTING THERE. THERE WAS NO WARNING SYMPTOMS AHEAD OF TIME - PERFECTLY SMOOTH IDLE AT THE CORRECT RPM, THEN IT JUST DROPS TO 0 AS IF THE KEY WERE TURNED OFF. I RAN INTO THE STORE FOR LESS THAN 2 MINUTES, CAME OUT AND DROVE HOME. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY PROBLEMS SINCE THEN (THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO). THERE WERE NO CODES THROWN. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE '07 WHEN IT HAD 5K MILES ON IT. WITH A LITTLE OVER 88K MILES I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE.

DROVE TO A BUSINESS AND ONCE PLACED IN PARK, THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME STUCK. CALLED AAA, THEY WERE GOING TO TOW IT, THEN ANOTHER DRIVER SHOWED UP FOR AAA AND KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO. HE TAKES APART THE CASE THAT GOES AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT AND PRESSES ON A PINK COLORED EMERGENCY PARK RELEASE LEVER, ( WHY IS THAT EVEN AN OPTION??!!! ) IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT ATTACHED TO ANY THING AS IT FELL DOWN INTO THE SPACE AROUND THE SHIFTER AND STILL RESIDES THERE. THE DISCUSSION OF TOWING IT CAME UP AGAIN, THEN WE NOTICED A CABLE ATTACHED TO THE SHIFTER AND AFTER PLAYING WITH IT HAVE DEVELOPED A SYSTEM TO UNLATCH IT FROM PARK. YOU HAVE TO PULL THE CABLE TO THE LEFT WITH A PEN TO DISABLE THE GEAR SHIFT. TODAY I TOOK IT TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP KNEW JUST WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, BUT DENIES A RECALL ON THIS. I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE IT FIXED MONDAY THE 12TH. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT, THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DISASTER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE FRONT END HAS BEEN FIXED ABOUT 4 TIMES FOR VIGOROUSLY SHAKING AND A GOD AWFUL RATTLING NOISE ( GOES AWAY FOR A SHORT TIME THEN RETURNS SHORTLY AFTER BEING FIXED!!), NUMEROUS TIRES HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BECAUSE THAT MUST BE THE PROBLEM TOO ( OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF THE DEALERSHIP), THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STAYS ON, THE ABS LIGHT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND HAS LEFT ME WITH A NO BRAKE SENSATION ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS.

THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH CHIMED, MY RPMS DROPPED TO ZERO, THEN JUST AS SUDDENLY THEY ALL WENT RIGHT BACK TO NORMAL AND THE ENGINE JERKED US FORWARD AS THE TRANNY FIGURED OUT WHAT GEAR IT BELONGED IN. IT STARTED LIKE THAT, ONLY HAPPENING ON OCCASION. NOW, I CAN'T MAKE IT MORE THAN 1-2 MILES (LITERALLY) WITHOUT STALLING OUT OR LOSING ENGINE FIRE. IF IT HAPPENS WHEN I'M AT A LOW MPH THE CAR JUST STALLS OUT AND DIED. NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES, BUT THE LIGHTS AND RADIO ARE WORKING. ON THE HWY AT HIGHER SPEEDS, IT LURCHES AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. ON THE ON-RAMP, HOWEVER, IT BECOMES A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION, ESPECIALLY WHEN STARTING ON A DOWNHILL RAMP WITH A BIG RIG WAILING UP BEHIND ME.

I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED, WHEN I SHIFTED IT IN DRIVE AND PROCEEDED TO TRY AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THE ENGINE & ELECTRICAL LIGHT WAS ON. I TRIED RESTARTING IT AND IT STARTED AND DROVE LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND SAYS THAT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING, THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD KEEP MY VEHICLE AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON, IF THEY DON'T FIND ANYTHING THAN THEY WOULD KEEP IT AND TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I COULD BE WITHOUT MY CAR UNTIL THEY FIGURE IT OUT.

TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ADVISED MY FRONT TIRES NEEDED TO BE CHANGED AND/OR ROTATED TO THE BACK DUE TO AN UNUSUAL WEARING ON THE TIRES. THE WEAR WAS ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE TIRES.THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS IN PARK POSITION AND THERE IT STAYED WAS UNABLE TO SHIFT GEAR TO ANYTHING AND HAD TO TAKE THE CONSOLE AROUND THE LEVER APART TO SHIFT GEARS.

WHEN THE CAR IS SITTING IN IDLE, THE LIGHTS DIMS AS THOUGH THERE IS A SHORTAGE IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM.

WE HAVE HAD IT FIXED BY THE DEALER 3 TIMES ALONG WITH NEW BRAKES AND TIRES AT THE COST OF $2,000 EACH TIME.

I CONTACTED CHRYSLER 2 DAYS AGO BECAUSE WE NEED TO HAVE THE TIE RODS FIXED FOR THE 4TH TIME. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD FORWARD MY COMPLAINT TO THE PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT TEAM.

I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES TO HAVE ISSUES FIXED. EACH TIME I GOT THE CAR BACK, IT WAS WORSE. I HAD 13 ISSUES ORIGINALLY WITH THE CAR. I ENDED UP SUING, AND GOT A VERY SMALL SETTLEMENT- DODGE REFUSED TO COOPERATE. I STILL HAVE EACH AND EVERY PROBLEM, AND DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. MY CAR DIES WHILE IN REVERSE, THE BRAKES MALFUNCTION CONSTANTLY, THE WINDOW PANEL REMAINS BROKEN DUE TO THEIR INEPT WORK, THE RADIO CUTS OFF, THE DASH LIGHTS DIE @ NIGHT, ETC. I WOULD TRULY APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE COULD ACTUALLY HELP ME. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO. I LOVE MY CAR DEARLY, BUT SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. THE DATE I PUT AS DATE OF INCIDENT IS WHEN THIS ALL STARTED. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE CHARGER BRAND NEW IN MARCH 2006. EVER SINCE THEN THERE HAS BEEN PROBLEMS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. I HAD BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE BRAKES NOT STOPPING AND SQUEAKING AND THE FACT THAT I COULD BE ACCELERATING UP TO ABOUT 20-30MPH AND THE CAR WOULD NOT GO ANY FURTHER. THE CAR IS SHOWING SIGNS OF TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THESE PROBLEMS LEAD ME TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS WHERE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID I NEEDED BRAKE PADS AND NOTHING ELSE WAS WRONG, WHICH I GOT BRAKE PADS FROM A DIFFERENT BUSINESS. THE CAR STILL CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING WITH THE PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE BRAKES. I SEE THERE WAS NO RESULTS WITH GOING TO THE DEALER SO I CONTACTED THE CORPORATE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE # AND THEY ADVISED ME TO TAKE THE CAR BACK FOR A DIAGNOSIS, I ADVISED THEM THAT I PREVIOUSLY DONE THAT AND THERE WAS NOTHING FOUND. THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BECAUSE THE DEALER WOULD NEED TO RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER WITH 47,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN I WENT TO MY MECHANIC TO HAVE THE TIRES ROTATED (GOODYEAR), THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE STEERING TIE ROD (RT SIDE) WAS SO BADLY WORN THEY DID NOT EVEN WANT ME TO DRIVE IT HOME ( I HAVE SAVED THE PART). IT IS A SEALED UNIT AND SHOULD NOT NEED ANY LUBRICATION OTHER THAN WHAT WAS INITIALLY DESIGNED INTO THE PART. OBVIOUSLY IF ONE LOSES STEERING ABILITY AT SPEED THE CONSEQUENCES COULD BE SIGNIFICANT. INTERESTINGLY, THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I GOT THE LAST ONE AVAILABLE IN THE MILWAUKEE AREA. IT MAKES ME WONDER IF ALL THE OTHERS WERE USED FOR A SIMILAR REPLACEMENT DEFECT AND/OR IT IS BEING REDESIGNED. *TR

I WAS IN THE CENTER LANE OF TRAFFIC WHEN I NOTICED A CAR COMING UP FROM BEHIND ME. TO AVOID GETTING HIT I ATTEMPTED TO THROTTLE DOWN ON THE GAS PEDAL TO PASS A CAR IN THE SLOW LANE AND GET IN FRONT OF HIM TO AVOID THE SPEEDER COMING UP BEHIND ME. IN DOING SO I HEARD A SNAPPING SOUND. I WAS ABLE TO GET IN THE RIGHT LANE(SLOW LANE) AND PULL INTO A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT. I GOT OUT OF MY CAR AND TO MY AMAZEMENT SAW MY ENTIRE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY LYING ON THE FLOOR OF MY CAR. I WAS ALSO AMAZED TO SEE THAT THE ENTIRE MOUNTING BRACKET FOR THE GAS PEDAL IS MADE OF EITHER A PLASTIC OR RESIN COMPOUND AND FROM WHAT I CAN TELL SO IS THE BRAKE ASSEMBLY. THIS DOES NOT SEEM LIKE A STRONG ENOUGH MATERIAL TO BE USED ON SUCH CRUCIAL PARTS. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO MY DEALER AND THE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IS GOING TO BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME PART. I WILL BE ASKING FOR THE OLD PART BACK. *TR

INFORMED OUR DEALER THAT THE LEFT-REAR SEATBELT WAS BACKWARDS. A PASSENGER HAD A HARD TIME HOOKING THE SEATBELT. THE DEALER ORDERED A REPLACEMENT SEATBELT AND INSTALLED IT. THIS SEATBELT WAS MANUFACTURED BACKWARDS TOO. CHECKED ALL CHARGERS AND MAGNUMS ON THE LOT AND DISCOVERED THAT ALL LEFT-REAR SEATBELTS ARE BACKWARDS. ALSO CHECKED ANOTHER DEALERS STOCK WITH THE SAME RESULTS. OUR DEALER SAID THAT THEY WOULD INFORM CHRYSLER. IT HAS BEEN SIX MONTHS AND WE HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED WITH A RECALL.

1. IN OCTOBER ONLY 5 MONTHS AFTER BUYING MY '06 CHARGER I NOTICED A LOT OF NOICE COMING FROM THE BRAKES. 2. IN NOVEMBER I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID EVERYTHING WAS FINE THAT IT MAINLY SHOULD HAPPEN WHEN IT GETS COLDER. 3. I TOOK IT IN LAST WEEK IN MARCH AND TOLD THEM THAT IT HAS BEEN 75 DEGREES AND UP AND THAT THEY STILL MAKE NOICE AT ANY SPEED. THEY SAID THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. AFTER LOOKING AT OTHER SIMILAR CASES I AM NOW ASSURED THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE AND THAT THEY NEED TO FIXED!!

PURCHASED JULY 14, 2006. IT RAN GREAT WITH NO PROBLEMS UNTIL JULY 26. I WENT TO TAKE A LEFT OUT OF MY COMPANY'S PARKING LOT AND THE CAR SPUTTERED AND WOULD ACCELERATE FAST. I HAD TO PULL OFF ON THE LEFT SIDE OF THE ROAD TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND GAVE IT SOME GAS. I ATTEMPTED TO GO AGAIN WHEN THE TRAFFIC WAS CLEAR AND IT SPUTTERED MORE UNTIL I GAVE IT A LOT OF GAS AND THEN IT DROVE FINE. I THOUGH IT WAS AN ISOLATED INCIDENT SO I DROVE IT HOME. THAT NIGHT MY WIFE, SON AND I TOOK THE CAR TO THE MALL. UPON LEAVING THE MALL IT DID IT AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON. THE DEALERSHIP WAS STILL OPEN AND CLOSE BY SO I DROVE IT DIRECTLY THERE. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER TO DRIVE WHILE THEY ATTEMPTED TO FIX IT. ON AUGUST 9, THEY GAVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO ME. THAT NIGHT IT DID IT AGAIN, EXCEPT THE VEHICLE ACTUALLY DIED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE NEXT DAY IT WAS BACK TO THE DEALER WHERE IS SAT FOR 37 DAYS WHILE THEY TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEY REPLACED ALL THE OXYGEN SENSORS, THE POWER CONTROL MODULE, THE WIRING HARNESSES AND I AM SURE THERE WERE SOME OTHER THINGS. THEY TEST DROVE IT FOR 9 KEY CYCLES AND 250 MILES AND WERE 98% CONFIDENT THEY FIXED IT SO I GOT THE CAR BACK ON SEPTEMBER 15. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME PROBLEM RETURNED AND I WAS 50 MILES FROM HOME AND THIS TIME THE IDLING OF THE CAR WAS SO ROUGH THAT THE CAR WAS VISIBLY SHAKING. I HAD A FRIEND FOLLOW ME HOME AND SINCE IT WAS A SATURDAY NIGHT, THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT OPEN AND WOULD NOT BE UNTIL MONDAY. MONDAY MORNING I STARTED THE CAR UP AND LET IT IDLE 5 MINUTES BEFORE LEAVING. WHEN I GOT IN, IT WAS IDLING ROUGH AGAIN AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I SHUT IT DOWN, CALLED A TOW TRUCK AND IT IS BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WILL STAY BECAUSE I AM NOT TAKING IT BACK. I HAVE REQUESTED VEHICLE REPLACEMENT FROM CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP. NOW HERE I AM 5 DAYS LATER AND THERE IS STILL NO ANSWER AS TO WHEN I WILL GET A NEW VEHICLE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE IN A LEFT HAND CURVE AT 23 MPH, THE PASSENGER SIDE TIRE SEPARATED FROM THE WHEEL. THE TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR LIGHT DID NOT ILLUMINATE TO WARN THE CONTACT OF LOW TIRE PRESSURE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO GO OFF OF THE ROAD INTO A TRENCH, BOUNCING BETWEEN EITHER SIDES OF THE TRENCH. THE VEHICLE HIT SIX TREES AND ENDED UP PINNED AGAINST THE MOUNTAIN ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. MOST OF THE DAMAGE OCCURRED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY AND THE SEAT BELTS WERE WORN. THE INDICATOR LIGHT THAT STATES THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WAS DEACTIVATED WAS ILLUMINATED. THE OCCUPANTS SUSTAINED INJURIES. THERE WAS A POLICE REPORT TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP, WHERE REPAIRS WERE STARTED. THAT DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO PERFORM ALL NECESSARY REPAIRS; THEREFORE, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN RETURNED TO THE CONTACT.

I AM ABOUT TO FILE A LEMON LAW COMPLAINT BECAUSE DODGE HAS BEEN "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE" THE MOST SERIOUS PROBLEMS THAT HAVE PLAGUED MY VEHICLE, A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T, SINCE DAY FOUR OF MY OWNERSHIP. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR 68 DAYS AND OF THOSE, I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE THE FUNCTIONING CAR FOR 19 DAYS. THEY HAVE FIXED A NUMBER OF MINOR ISSUES AND NOTIFIED ME THAT THEY WOULD BE UNABLE TO FIX OR DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX AT THIS TIME, SOME MINOR ISSUES INCLUDING THE AIR CONDITIONING COMPRESSOR PROBLEMS (WHICH THEY SAY THEY HAVE ALSO BEEN "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE". THE SERIOUS ISSUES THAT ARE OCCURRING WHEN IT IDLES, WHEN IT ACCELERATES AND WITH WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE SUSPENSION AND POSSIBLY BOTH THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. OF THOSE 68 DAYS, THEY HAVE COME TO PICK UP MY CAR ON THREE DIFFERENT OCCASIONS TO TRY AND FIX IT, THE LAST TIME (WHICH CONTINUES CURRENTLY) THEY HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR FOUR WEEKS. I HAPPEN TO KNOW (UPON RESEARCHING AFTER THE PROLONGED PERIOD THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR) THAT TSB'S OR TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS HAVE BEEN ISSUED FOR EVERY PROBLEM THAT IS OCCURRING WITH MY CAR. ADDITIONALLY, I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS (ONE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND ONE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC) THAT HAVE WITNESSED THESE MALFUNCTIONS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE LEGALLY FOR GETTING SOME KIND OF RESOLUTION. *JB
