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 issue is that after fueling up my car I will drive a little ways down the road and the car will shut off and I will need to steer out of the way of traffic and restart the car. This will happen several times after refueling. This appears to be a common problem with 2006 Dodge Chargers, Magnums, and Chrysler 300s. It appears that the issue is that fuel was observed entering the purge line prior to initial shut off of the fill nozzle. This causes fuel to escape from the fuel tank assembly into the evaporative system. The multi-function control valve-??s refueling float stays stuck in an open position and is the cause of this issue. -??Rich fuel-?? gets into the engine and the engine will shut down. The NHTSA has investigated the issue under investigation number PE13-016. I was directed to report the issue to the NHTSA website if I have the issue, which I do.
when i refuel start out in highway car stalls almost results in getting rear ended i found dodge knew about this but i did not get recall i bought car new this just started bout 12 months ago car only has around 65000 miles on it.it happened today 3/20/24
When I fill my car with gasoline, it starts to putter and shuts off. I have replaced the fuel pump and fuel transfer unit over 4 times since I have owned this vehicle. I had the same issue with my Chrysler 300. It is very frustrating and cost full. I just dropped my car at the shop to be looked at again. I just had a fuel/transfer pump done less than a year ago
After filling up with gas my car stalled 3 times within 30 minutes. One time while making a turn and my power steering locked up almost making me crash, another time at a red light and also while idling in my driveway.
The fuel tank with this car have issues when filled up. This issue started about 3-4 years ago. The gas tank haven't been inspected but I've changed literally every component associated with the fueling system. I wish I would've done research before hand and would've just saved money and known that there are issues with the fuel tank. The car when filled up or sometimes just putting a little gas it will either sputter or shut off. No check engine light comes on or nothing. However after doing research I found out that my VIN isn't in the recall listing. This makes absolutely no sense for the investigation into a broader VIN listing to be closed with the amount of complaints these year model cars fuel tank.
Valve in the top of the tank to release vapor through the purge system is stuck open allowing fuel in the system, is available for inspection. Car stalls while driving and at stops, stalled infront of ambulance. Has not been reproduced of confirmed by dealer, but it has happened everytime i fully refuel the car. Has not been inspected. No symptoms or warnings prior to issue occurring.
When you fill the gas tank the vehicle cuts off and stalls in the middle of traffic and cannot restart. This has happened every time the tank was filled. Multiple times and every time
On 3/10/2023 my vehicle suddenly starting trembling and shaking profusely! It terrified me severely. I immediately called my mechanic and it was towed in to be repaired. I was told it needed a tune- up. Towing, 3-Direct Ignition coils replaced, 6-spark plugs replaced and 1- fuel injection plenum gasket set replaced. Four weeks later on 4/16/2023 a warning sign of a backwards meeting parenthesis with a lightening bolt between to the two backwards parenthesis showed up on my warning lamp-Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) Indicator symbol; causing my vehicle on shake, jump and stall as I was driving on 29S heading toward 70W towards Baltimore to get home. I was able to drive to side of the road and my car completely stopped. A the horrific sounds of the traffic wizzed by me and my 12 year old child, I immediately called AAA, as we were in danger and severely terrified. We were finally picked up after 3 long hours!!!!! My car was the towed up the street from my home because the huge tow truck was unable to get directly in front of my door at that late hour. As I called AAA back the next morning to have my car towed to my mechanic shop, I was told I could only get 1 tow/ breakdown. I was totally in disbelieve after all we endured the evening/ night before. After explaining to a supervisor at AAA, she agreed that we had such a horrible experience the night before and adjusted the policy to accommodate my vehicle to be towed to my mechanic for repairs. This time, my fuel pump needed to be replaced and it has been. My vehicle still feels hesitate in its acceleration and as of today my engine light is on on my warning panel. I have been contacted by a NHTS recall team agent and have been scheduled for an appt
Every time I get gas, my Charger stalls at stops and while driving. Not good!!! I have had several close calls! I do not top off and I always use premium. Something has to be done this is not safe for anyone on the road.
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.
After filling up the car with fuel (93 octane) the car stalls after a couple of minutes. This has caused unsafe situations as the car has stalled in the middle of intersections and on the road. This has happened consistently after filling up. The car does not start immediately after stalling. After a couple of minutes post stall, I am able to restart the car. At times, the car studders while moving. This all happens after topping off with fuel. The vehicle has approximately 106,000 miles.
My 2006 Dodge Charger has approximately 51,000 miles on it. Last fall when I filled it up with gas and left the station to go home, my car stalled 5 times on a very busy road just trying to go home. It always restarted. It now does the same thing every time I fill it up with gas. It will either stall once I leave the station (sometimes multiple times) or jerk back and forth when trying to drive it. So far it has always restarted, but I am very concerned about my safety if it happens to stall when driving or turning at an intersection and there is an accident because of it. I understand that their is a lifetime warranty on this problem on these vehicles (Extended Warranty X53); and I would like to get this problem taken care of before I get in an accident. I have read up on this problem on Dodge Forums and will be calling Dodge in the next few days to see about having this problem taken care of. This is a definite SAFETY issue and needs to be handled ASAP.
I've owned this car a little over a month. I filled up the gas tank today, after leaving the gas station the car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. thankfully no one was coming the opposite direction at the time before i could get the car restarted. at the next light it stalled again, and then was able to restart the car. i was able to pull into a parking lot to access any issues. nothing looked wrong visibly. while idling the car stalled again. i researched the issue and found other similar issues with this year and make of the car stalling after filling the tank. this is a huge safety issue as there was no warning and the car completely stalled and had no function. if cars were coming at me in the intersection or i was on the highway which was the next exit, it could have been worse for me and others on the road.
Since owning this car everytime I fill up the gas (not over filling) or even going above 7/8 of a tank, my car stalls 3-10 times and chuggs while driving. I have already replaced the purge valve with no luck. After doing much research it has come to my attention that there has been a recall on cars just like mine. But when I look up my Vin it says no recall available. I am terrified to drive my car after putting gas in because I don't want to get into an accident.
