This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
The failing component is the same one that only "some" 2006 Dodge Chargers were covered. Even though my failed parts match the failed parts of the recall, I don't qualify because Chrysler didn't pick my VIN as one to replace. So after filling my vehilce with gas I went to turn and in the middle of the intersection my car shut off and all systems went down, meaning I lost power steering and the engine stalled. It would not restart. Four people nearly died, because we were almost hit by a gravel train truck. In the middle of the intersection, and could do nothing..If you win the Chrysler VIN lotterey, yours gets fixed and if you don't have that VIN, too bad for you. So I have a car that has the potential to kill many people because. of a known safety issue that Chrysler fixed on some cars but not all cars. NHTSA allows a huge safety problem as one that impacts the entire operation of the vehicle to still be on the road without the recall applying to it? One second difference and I and 3 occupants would have been dead. ONE SECOND. No warning lights, no codes, the problem has been seen by every dealer in the USA according to the technicians that looked at my car. They said it's sad that money means more to Chrysler than Safety. It first started happening just a few weeks ago, I only drive in the summer with this car, so it is low miles also. According to the recall the fuel tank and it's system fail. QUOTE from CHRYSLER " a condition where the fuel shut-off float, in the multifunction control valve sticks, which may result in the vehicle stalling after fueling." According to the dealer, my part numbers match the recall, just not my VIN.
After filling fuel to proper level the vehicle shakes and as car continues to drive at normal speeds car shuts down and loses steering and power. This may be related to the fuel tank issue these have with the built in valves. The fuel pump works just fine so i know its not that. again symptoms only happen when filling the gas tank to full which is the proper level. I don't understand why this car was not recalled along with the rest. although I'm starting to be really hesitant of ever buying any dodge or Chrysler vehicle again.
My vehicle stalls after I fuel it. I googled it and saw that similar Chargers (2006 rts with 5.7 liter engines) were part of a recall. I called the Chrysler recall center and they said my VIN was not included on the lifetime replacement /fix for this issue. They told me that the issue was 'VIN specific'. my car does all of the same things that the recalled vehicles do - it stalls at low speeds and when stopped at traffic lights right after I fuel it. It does not stall/die at high speeds, but instead 'sputters'. it usually takes about 20 miles after fueling for the stalling/ 'dying' to stop.
Every time I fill my car up with gas and drive off from the gas station into on coming traffic the car will stall in the middle of the road I almost got hit in the side just yesterday. I got online and did some research and found out that there is a problem with the gas tanks on these cars that cause them to stall after putting gas in them.

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.
After filling the gas tank I can drive a few blocks and I'd sputters and dies the fuel pumps are fairly new. It starts back up and it sputters. It happens every time we fill the tank.it has been ongoing since we bought the car
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 continues to stall at low speed, stop sign, light, etc. Im very cautious when I turn onto traffic for fear of car stalling and me getting hit. Had it to numerous mechanics and no one can pin point it. Usually stalls out 5-10 times on way to and from work everyday. I live about 4 miles from my job.
I filled my gas tank up and when I did as I was driving at around 15-20mph my car stalled on me and later on it shut off as I was coming to a stop this happens every time I fill my gas tank up.
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.
My car randomly cuts off at times while I'm driving. I don't know what the problem is. It seems that most mechanics can pinpoint the issue. It has happened on numerous occasions.
My vehicle has been stalling after filling up gas tank. This is very danger as it stops sometimes on a busy road. There needs to be a recall asap! I have looked up forums and this is happening to a lot of 2006 Chargers.
Vehicle stalls when slowing to stop or turn, only after filling the gas tank. The stalling persists, and has left me in dangerous situations, until enough fuel is used. From 3/4 full and lower there is no stalling whatsoever.
For the last several months I have had problems with my 2006 Dodge Charger rt stalling and cutting while driving or idling while stopped. This happens only after filling up my gas tank. Recently it happened while turning at an intersection and I had to quickly steer into a business parking lot to get out of traffic.
Each time I refuel my vehicle the vehicle stalls while in motion on a highway. This happens with any amount of gas I put into the tank. The vehicle stalling after refueling has occurred at various speeds ranging from 0mph at a complete stop up to 50mph
