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.

Car will stall and not start after filling with gas. After awhile car will run but shut off randomly. This can happen while driving. Car has been stuck at intersections and will stall even doing highway speeds. All lights will appear on dash engine car will lose all power. Small ding before it dies.
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.

Out of no where my car started stalling on me, took it to a mechanic, cleaned ground wires, changed O2 sensor, cleaned throttle body everything looks and sounds good, but the car stalls, while I'm driving, as well as at a stop, sometimes it completely shuts off and I loose all control including power steering, and sometimes just cuts off for half a second and turns itself back on, iv seen a lot of posts about the gas tank overfilling problem, as well as a ignition switch problem with these cars, I called the dealer but they said they can't address it since my VIN isn't reported for those recalls. My car is unsafe to drive right now and I don't know why but there's reports of manufacturer faults.
When driving the car it will randomly turn off and then come back on with out having to restart it. It's like if you were to turn a light switch on and then off again, it's that quick. I'm talking about everything shuts down, the lights the radio the gauges everything and then sometimes it comes right back on. There has been some occasions where it doesn't come back on tho.

My 2006 Dodge Charger rt V8 5.7 keep stalling after I put gas in and shut off while I'm driving and when I pull over and it start right back up I'm really concerned about my safety because it done that multiple times on my way to work and after work
It cuts off when I'm driving it slows down and I have to tryin get over.and it takes almost a 1.5 hours before it cranks back up. That can cause a car crash.
1-fuel system after filling up will choke itself out at slow speeds or idling-2-engine cuts out going 40-80 mph jerks and cuts off and back on sometimes engine light comes on and other times not 3- issues with turning car completely off have to put back into gear then park again to turn off 4- at times when putting into park my brake light comes on. I thought I did good on this car but now I'm beginning to think I'm in over my head all of this happens on average every other day. One or all things happen intermediate.
Traveling I-5 at 65 mph when the car lost all power. No response in gas pedal, engine stuttered. Pulled off freeway and put it in park and turned the car off. Waited for around 10 -20 seconds then restarted the vehicle. Then all power and driveability came back. This is the 5th time this has happened for this car and becoming more frequently. Took the vehicle in to have it put on a diagnosis. Code is P0016. Crank shaft position, cam shaft position correlation/bank 1 sensor a. also code P0128. Thermostat rationality test.
Headlights and dash randomly flicker and shut off while car is on and while driving. Testing indicates the problem is in the headlight switch or wiring to the switch. When headlight switch removed, headlights are in always on mode, and there is no flickering or shutting off. Headlight switch module has been replaced and still flickers with new switch/knob. Dealer unable to find and fix issue due to intermittent nature of problem. Severe problem when driving and night and lights turn off. Problem also is irritating as it looks like I am flashing my lights at other vehicles.
I was driving down the road and my lights turned off my headlights and dash lights had to hold my brights on because they wouldnt stay on by themselves, my dash speedometers had kept going up and down as if my car was dying almost hit a deer due to no headlights and driving at night.
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.
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.
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. Upon purchasing the vehicle, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to royal Buick GMC (815 w auto mall dr, lot a, tucson, AZ 85705, (520) 777-1149) where it was serviced and repaired. The contact stated that a bank installed a lojack device on the vehicle, which caused the vehicle to shut off without warning. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the contact was informed that they could not assist because of the device attached to the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000.
While was trying to turn into parking spot my Charger suddenly died. When turned the car back on was able to start right back up. This has been happening more when tryong to turn the wheel all the way from a stop position or moving. Have almost been hit a few times when it just stops
