On Feb 25th I put gas in my vehicle, later that day I noticed a high gasoline scent from my car. Ie; 10 days prior I had my vehicle serviced at my local arrigo Dodge dealership. I waited until the next to see if the smell had gone away, assuming I had put bad gas in my car. The next day before I could open my car doors I could smell the gasoline from standing outside my car. Still assuming I had bad gas I decided to drive out as much of the gas as possible. When I realized the smell would not go away, I went online and did some research, which lead to this being a common problem with the Dodge vehicles, I watched multiple videos and read multiple comments. On Feb 27th I followed some steps from videos. I took my back seat out lifted the guard and pulled of the fuel pump cover, and low and behold there was gas. This is a fire hazard. I drive my mother and my daughter in my car, anything could have happened. I called Dodge customer service on Feb 28th to report the problem to see if there was a recall, seeing that I was not the only one with this issue and complaint. Dodge was not much help. This problem that Dodge ignores has cost me emotional distress and more money than I expect to spend to fix. Dodge shows no interest or care in this case as this being a hazard. I am completely disappointed in the way Dodge is dealing with this issue. The representative that I spoke with did not give me any for of ease or comfort or offer any assistance on how this can be fixed. While it may seem like an easy fix to that rep, this problem goes beyond just fixing. Its a fire hazard and Dodge needs to look further into this. Maybe when something drastic happens on this account I guess that when it may matter to this company. I my self have taken multiple pictures and videos.
After filling the fuel tank and pulling into traffic the car stalls which is very dangerous considering cars approaching or following you could crash into you. This happens each time I fuel up.
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.

After filling fuel tank the vehicle would sputter and stall at stop light. Although it would restart it continues this pattern of stalling at streetlights or coming to a stop.
Engine stalls several times immediately after filling gas tank. This is very dangerous because you loose steering and power brakes in traffic. The Dodge dealer says that it does this because there is gasoline in the vapor canister. I believe this is because something in the fuel tank is causing fuel to get into the canister where it does not belong. Changing the canister is not going to solve the problem. I am afraid to drive the car and I'm afraid to buy another Dodge or Chrysler.
My car completely shut off on me as I was driving it. This happened to me on 01/13/17 as I was leaving the gas station (after refueling). I was merging onto the freeway at the time, which turned out to be a blessing as I was able to merge into a safe location on the highway. After reading about similar cases online, I found this to be a recurring issue in the 06 Chargers / Chrysler models. This is definitely a major safety concern. Why has there not been a recall yet ??
2006 Dodge Charger has a known issue involving vehicle stalling if the gas tank is filled. Dodge negotiated a lifetime warranty for repair of this defect in lieu of a recall. I was not notified of this warranty. My fuel pump has failed due to chronically running hot due to inability to fill the gas tank. The fuel pump design depends on the cooler temperature of the gasoline in the tank to keep it cooled. In other words, not being able to keep adequate gas tank levels has directly led to fuel pump overheating and failure. Dodge will not cover the cost of fuel pump repair but will replace the fuel tank that caused the damage. The vehicle was in motion leaving the parking lot at.
After filling up at a gas station, the car will stall out randomly at all speeds of travel. This is a huge safety issue that has sht down the car while merging onto freeway in front of semi-trucks only to have power steering and propulsion stop. Luckily truck was paying attention and honked and swerved around, while I rode off onto the shoulder. Then it restarted, ran for another minute and stalled again while trying to get back off the shoulder. I ended up letting it idle for 5 min before being able to merge successfully and get home. Online I have seen many people saying they have same or similar issues with their 2006 Dodge vehicles as well. Please help to get this resolved as this could have very well killed someone.
My 2006 Dodge Charger rt stalls intermittently while I'm turning a corner on a city street or stopped at a red light. When it stalls, I do not have power steering. This is extremely dangerous because I could get hit. Sometimes it stalls more often after I fill up with gas. I do not overfill. I have been filing my gas tank the same way for 10 years and until October of 2016 it has never been a problem.
While sitting at the traffic light it cuts off. While driving, the vehicle cuts off. This has been going on since 2014. I have taken it to darcars hillcrest hgts and new carrollton but nothing has been done and they have yet to tell me what the problem
Charger is stalling frequently. After filling up with gas. Stalled and went into some safe mode where it wouldn't go into second gear. Stalled on the highway, side roads and while making a turn. While making the turn it stalled in the middle of the intersection while a truck was coming at us. I had my son in the car and we were stranded in the road. We could have been killed!! I have read up on this and it seams to be a faulty sensor at the gas tank fill up. Why has this not been addressed? sounds like you are waiting for someone to get killed before doing anything. Great company!!!
After filling up gas tank, vehicle will rapidly lose rpms and stall when stopped at lights or stop signs. I then put the vehicle in park and am able to restart it, but it will stall again while moving right after. This causes a loss of power steering which has almost caused me to crash multiple times. I only bought the car 12 days ago and it has done this multiple times. I have read the multiple other complaints, and have tried to fix the problem by replacing the PCM, but that did not work. Others have suggested replacing the gas tank because the stall could be caused by the vapor recovery system failing following refueling. I believe this issue is related to NHTSA action PE13016. The vehicle in its current condition is unsafe to drive as it will stall while moving and lose power steering. The problem first occurred on 11/7/16, and occurred again on 11/15/16, both times after I refueled. It will not occur if the gas is below 3/4 full. I replaced the PCM on 11/10/16, but that did not fix the problem.
After filling the gas tank up car stalls within minutes on busy highway interstate and it fluids out where you are stuck in traffic I've had plenty of mechanics to look at the far and they cant detect the problem I need some assistance with this issue are I'm gonna end up causing a bad wreck with the issue of my car please contact me [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the fuel tank could only be partially filled due to a leak. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Fuel system issue pertaining to lack of fuel to engine. There have been multiple occasions where the vehicle had hard starting and stalling, now the vehicle won't start. After investigating common issues (I.e., air, fuel, spark) it was determined that fuel was not traveling to the fuel rail at the engine. The fuel pump was replaced and the issue persisted. Currently the vehicle in non-operational due to the lack of fuel. I fell this issue is very similar to the NHTSA PE13016 investigation where the determination was to replace the fuel tank as the integrated multifunction control valve (mfcv) was found to be defective. The manufacturer offered a lifetime warranty for the issue, however it was stated that the vehicles included in the extended warranty were equipped with the 5.7L and 6.1L 8-cylider engines. We find this inaccurate as our vehicle is equipped with the 3.5L 6-cylinder and is suspect to have the identical issues as stated in the all of the investigative documents for PE13016.
After filling my vehicle my car will stall and random intervals. Simply drive away from the gas station and the vehicle would stall so I'd start it and then continue to drive. This largely happened while I'm stationary so I wasn't very concerned until I had it stall while I was turning on to a street and almost got side swiped by an on coming car. This is extremely dangerous and should be dealt with by the company as they have acknowledged it as an issue and I have seen multiple people file complaints about this issue and nothing is being done. This in my opinion is more dangerous than the sir bag issue my vehicle has already had a recall for. Chrysler and Dodge has acknowledge the issue and stated it's a valve I can't recall the name of the specific part and having to replace the gas tank.
After filling up gas tank drove off from gas station car stalled started car right back up drove some more and it stalled again started car right back up drove and once again car stalled this time I was in the middle of traffic very scary it almost caused me to get hit by other drivers, went online to see if anyone else has had this problem and found many other owners with the same issue with the exact same scenario, car is well maintained and runs great other then this issue
