The car will shut off randomly, the error code keeps pointing back to the ECM and I have had that replaced now it is doing it again and there is no warning when it happens on the freeway it jolts like it wants to shutoff but it doesn't the RPM's go down and it revs back up, it started just with it having the RPM's go down and rev back up randomly and its been happening for 2 years now it just shuts off and starts back up immediately but sometimes ill drive a couple feet and it will die again. It has been in and out of the shop for the last 8 months. They have sent the computer back to have it analysed and to repair the new one I got now. When driving it also shuts off and then just starts up back by itself. I see this everywhere on the internet and forums, some say ECM needs to be replaced other say the fuel tank and the other says something about the key fob not recognizing the key. I want this investigated and a recall to be issued. From everyone I have spoken to every single 2006 Dodge Charger has this problem with the 5.7 lt with the hemi.
" takata recall" bought my 2006 Dodge Charger last March had it for 3 days the engine blew. Replaced the engine with a V6 2008 2.7 with only 57000. About 6 months after started to get the lightning bolt.then stalling with the lightning bolt while driving 55mph on the highway and in the city it also does it at stop signs and sometimes wont start back right away.. I have no codes no check engine light no warning. My dash lights and head lights flicker especially while driving. We tried everything to fix this I'm very scared to drive my car anywheres.. please help figure out whats going on with these problems. We already replaced the computer, gas pedal, sensors and the engine. Mileage on the body 260000 on the second engine 63000.
My car will not accelerate over 40mph. I went to the mechanics and it said that the transmission computer isn't functioning correctly. I looked up this issue online and this is an ongoing issue with these cars. I contacted Dodge they said since there is no recall then they can't do anything.
Two years ago I had to replace the engine while driving the car all the lights came on and it lost power while driving at approximately 40 mph. Yesterday while on the highway going 65 mph the car lost power. This is very unsafe especially on the highway.

Vehicle was parked in drivieway, partially blocking in other vehicles in garage, and automatic transmission shifter could not be moved out of park on the morning of 6/29/17, stranding vehicle from being moved by owner. I then looked online using google search and found problem listed under Chrysler recall of some 2005-2007 Charger/magnum/300 models, and found instructions on how to temporarily insert screwdriver into side of transmission shift lever assembly by removing one piece of trim, and was able to then drive over to darcars Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge rockville, Maryland dealership to drop for recall repair. I left vehicle and then was told by service dept staff next day on 6/30/17 that my VIN number was not part of recall, and would cost me $510 out of pocket to replace the entire transmission shifter assembly rather than replace the small cheap plastic known Chrysler defect that has probably already happened to thousands of Chargers/magnums/300S. Lucky for me this did not happen in an emergency situaiton where I needed to move my car immediately to go to hospital, or avoid a flash fllood, hurricane, or tornado or the problem could have resulted in a total loss of the vehicle and possible injury or loss of life. In addition, I did more research and found the $16 part online needed to fix the problem, along with many videos on how to fix it yourself, and ordered it on 6/30/17 and had the car repaired myself at home on 7/2/17 a few hours after receiving the part in the mail. Chrysler should make this a recall for all affectred vehicles because the cost to repair it in parts and labor is very cheap, since I estimate they could do the same job in about 30 minutes and the part would only cost them maybe under $5. see attached recall and $16 part cost when ordered on amazon.
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.
Takata recall the suspension is shot. I am having to replace the my tires due to the bushings being junk and have ate my tires away on the inside down to the metal due to the toe positioning being incorrect. 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 have always been a Dodge fan, but this time, on my favorite looking car, you all have dropped the ball!

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.
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. Please look into this issue before people get hurt because this is a serious problem. Thank you, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The dodger Charger rt has been the worse vehicle I have ever paid for. My Charger is only at 80,000 miles and the Charger has been maintained properly. The transmission has issues with going over 50 mph and the engine now knocks. I am just siting here trying to figure out how a vehicle at 80,000 have this many issues.

Car will not shift out of park when pressing the break without pressing the pink switch inside the gear shift. Similar recall on other cars, but not my VIN.

Just lucky it broke in the driveway and not when my family was on a trip 2 hours from home.
