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.
My Dodge Charger cuts off while driving or while sitting at stop lights. I am able to start up again but then it shuts off at the next stop light or while driving on the interstate. There is no trouble codes or check engine lights.
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.
Shortly after fill up the car will die. This has happened multiple times after filling up and it has happened after multiple fill ups. The car will start moving and I will begin driving when the car dies and I lose power steering. I took it to a mechanic and they said that it is a known safety issue with 2006 Dodge Chargers. The fuel tank and the evap canister needs to be replaced.
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. Whether the vehicle was stationary or driving various speeds, it would stall when the fuel tank was filled. Perry Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in san diego, California was made aware of the failure and stated that there were no complaints or failure codes regarding this issue. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000.
Pump a full tank and the car stalls at low RPM on a city street when in motion and not in motion happen about 6 time after I put a full tank been goin on for about a month
When I fill up the gas tank of my vehicle, starts properly and runs good for a few minutes then stalls, pull to the side of the road, start again and runs fine for a few more minutes and then it does it again, vehicle is in motion or stationary, it happen also twice when turning and power steering went out almost ran out of the road the first time and the second had to apply brakes hard in order to avoid collision with another vehicle, very un-safe and dangerous. When driven about 40-60 the problem goes away and then starts all over when gas tank is filled up again. I do not have photos, police report or any other documentation to upload and hope not to have any to get this issue resolved.
Major safety issue. After refueling, my vehicle stalls anywhere from 1-6 times at random times. It happens at highway speeds, and city driving. There is a total loss of power (brakes and steering included) had a very close call of causing an accident due to this issue. This issue is supposedly covered by extended lifetime warranty but my VIN is not "eligible" for some reason. In order to fix the issue, the gas tank has to be replaced $1500+ expense. Very disappointed that Dodge abandon my here. Even though im experiencing the issue, im not eligible because my VIN range missed the lifetime warranty.
When I fill the car up and it stops the fuel pump automatically, I close the gas cap and start the car. When I drive off it will stall. It will start back up right after but I have been making a turn after leaving the gas station and the car has stalled leaving me with no power steering or brakes. It only does this when I fill the car up. Because of this issue I can only fill the car 3/4 of the way up.
While driving after filling gas tank to full, vehicle stalled twice on way home. Both occurrences happened within a 5 minute period. Both occurrences happened with the vehicle in motion, on a city street.
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. While driving various speeds, the valve inside of the fuel tank allowed raw fuel to enter into the fuel lines, which caused the vehicle to stall without warning. The dealer (mclnerney's woodhaven Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep located at 23940 allen rd, woodhaven, Michigan, 48183) stated that the failure was under recall; however, the vehicle was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 23,000.
After filling the gas tank and driving home, the car stalled on the street in front of my home. Took 3-4 time to get it started again. Could have had an accident.
Immediately after a fuel fill up the engine will stall several times in forward or reverse. This will continue until the engine has operated for 4 to 5 minutes. The engine has failed on me several times at intersections and when pulling onto roadways...very dangerous place to stall. There have been many reports made to the nhtsb and Dodge forums on this issue. I just had my fuel cannister replaced and the problem remains.
While merging onto the interstate my engine shut completely off; I lost power steering and all throttle control. After pulling onto the side of the road I was able to turn the ignition on and drive away like normal. I have a 5.7L hemi and the car has 37,700 miles.
Vehicle stalls out while driving or sitting at traffic control devices. Sometimes after refueling. Mostly at times while driving 55 or 60 mph and while slowing to turn causing the car to lose all powers. Check engine light, oil and etc all come on when this happens. This vehicle only has 48,000 original miles. Very dangerous while driving with my precious grandbabies in the car. Have had to the car to two Dodge dealerships and they can not find a problem. I have even replace the computer and it did not correct the performance of the vehicle.
