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 stutters and shuts off after I fuel up my 19gal gas tank. Car turns off when idle after fueling up. Did see that for my make and model and year of car there were warranties extended for gas tank to be replaced with the same issue, never received a recall for my vehicle. And dealership will not touch my gas tank.
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.

I have had this 2006 Dodge Charger for a while.now it's been stalling and sometimes shutting off for no reason. Me and my 3 year old grandbaby was at a red light and the light turned green, I started to go car stalled and shut off. No was behind me at the time, so I was trying to get it to start, when I looked up. Saw a truck flying up on us. Thank god no one was beside us or he would of rear ended us. My boyfriend is a mechanic.he has worked for Chrysler for over 32 years. He can't seem to find the cause of it. No codes nothing. He can't talking to half of the bus. We replaced throttle body, tcm, PCM and some other things. Still nothing has helped. I have owned two other Chargers. This one is a night mare. Please do something. I'm getting to the point I'm scared to drive it.
After fueling gas tank to full level the car starts and runs fine for approximately two blocks down the street then the engine abruptly shuts off and stalls in traffic (dangerous). The vehicle requires restarting twice more before it will run normally. This happens every time the gas tank is fully filled. No problem if the tank is filled less than full. This has occurred the last three times gas tank was fully fueled. 2006 Dodge Charger srt8 6.1L hemi.
Takata inflators. When I fill the tank with gas and start driving it will sputter, jerk and stall. When it stalls and I finally get it started, I press on the gas lightly it doesn't move and then it lunges forward. This just started in the last month, but it now happens every time I fill the tank for about the first 20-30 miles driven. I've read that his is an issue with these cars. I also see the warranty has been extended to many vehicles regarding this issue but on this particular car there is no recall for this VIN. The car has 57500 miles on it.
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. I went online to see if other Dodge owners experienced the same problem, and was amazed at the thousands of people complaining about the exact same thing. This website is one of many. Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-T4117_ds539199 the problem seems to start after 90,000 miles. There should be a recall to fix this problem before someone gets killed.
Filled up my 2006 Dodge Charger 5.7L hemi V8 today and I got out of the gas station parking lot then it stalled out and died. I had my two small children with me, and I was on an extremely busy houston street having to try to get my car home with it repeatedly dying anytime I had to slow down to come to a stop at a light or accelerate from a stop. This has never happened before, and the vehicle was running fine until I filled it up. I did not over fill, I never top off.
My car has a constant smell of exhaust fumes in the cabin. This odor is most prevalent when you first start the car and remains.the odor is strongest when the car is started and the ac is on, the odor is made worse by switching the ac selector to pull in air from outside the vehicle. This greatly concerns me because I dont want to be engaging deadly methane fumes.Dodge told me they would diagnose the issue for 130 but I feel a safety risk such as this should be examined free of charge by the manufacturer before some is poisoned or dies
The car stalls after filling up the fuel tank. Dodge has extended the warranty on these tanks but says my car is not covered. This is a safety issue, I have had it stall on the highway and in traffic. I don't understand why this isn't a safety recall.
I been online looking for this kinda problem and it looks like everyone has this problem but there is not recall and this is extremely dangerous, can whenever you fill up the tank and the level from the gas shuts off on it's own, meaning not overfilling. The car stalls at lot in low rpms and hesitates alot, car shuts off and steering wheel lock making this extremely dangerous, tank is 19 gallos, once you waste 1-2 gallos of gas everything goes back to normal, have change already purge valve in front of the car, also the evap leak detection pump and nothing, everyone online has this problem and no one has a fixed. No engine lights comes on, sometimes a misfire, changed map sensor, camshaft sensor, crank sensor, mass airflow sensor, spark plugs wires, injectors and plugs and still the same. When I run torque app from android store it says evap cap off on red, like that test it never pass. Something with gas related I guess
The car stalled as I was driving. I have looked up this issue before and people have said it has something to do with the fuel tank. A dealership has replaced the fuel tank a few months back and today it stalled again. This is the first time this has happened since replacing the fuel tank. It appears this is a bigger problem than just the fuel tank. There should be a recall placed before people are seriously hurt and/or killed. The car shuts off while driving. If it is on the freeway then it'll be catastrophic on what can happen. The car also loses steering when it shuts off causing a bigger problem.
Every time I get gas and start the engine, it jerks and dies after driving a few hundred feet. I start it again and it keeps doing the same thing repeatedly. I'm afraid to pull into traffic because I don't know when it's going to just stop running. I feel this is a very unsafe situation. It has been going on for about 2 years now. Last night was the most recent occurrence.
There is deterioration in the upper parts of the filler pipe. The vent (can't recall the proper name) causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling which shuts off the car (like some cars that will not start if the gas cap is not on completely.) replacing this part will not solve the problem long term.
Every time I fill car with fuel right after fueling it dies. Sometimes 2-3 times. Can be hard to restart. Already replaced evap solenoid did not correct. This is know issue with fca VIN range should be expanded.
For the past couple of months when I fill up or top off in gas, as soon as I start to drive the car eithe stalls or completely cut not while driving. I'm bieber has happened while in the highway after fueling up as well as on the city streets. Due this malfunction, I have almost been rear ended.
