Page 2 of 6: complaints 11 to 40 of 145, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
El vehculo prende y corriendo se apaga, lo que podra ocacionar un accidente. The vehicle is on and running shuts down, which could cause an accident.
Traveling I-5 at 65 MPH when the car lost all power. No response in gas pedal, engine stuttered. Pulled off freeway and put it in park and turned the car off. Waited for around 10 -20 seconds then restarted the vehicle. Then all power and driveability came back. This is the 5th time this has happened for this car and becoming more frequently. Took the vehicle in to have it put on a diagnosis. Code is p0016. Crank shaft position, cam shaft position correlation/bank 1 sensor a. Also code p0128. Thermostat rationality test.
We where driving down the road and the cajust cut off in the middle of the road.
Headlights and dash randomly flicker and shut off while car is on and while driving. Testing indicates the problem is in the headlight switch or wiring to the switch. When headlight switch removed, headlights are in always on mode, and there is no flickering or shutting off. Headlight switch module has been replaced and still flickers with new switch/knob. Dealer unable to find and fix issue due to intermittent nature of problem. Severe problem when driving and night and lights turn off. Problem also is irritating as it looks like I am flashing my lights at other vehicles.
I was driving down the road and my lights turned off my headlights and dash lights had to hold my brights on because they wouldnt stay on by themselves, my dash speedometers had kept going up and down as if my car was dying almost hit a deer due to no headlights and driving at night.
I took my 06 charger in for airbag recall and when I left the dealer my car shut off at every lights and shut off in the middle of going 40 50 miles an hour. It continues to do that more and more everyday. I've read on the internet about so many of the 6th generation dodge chrysler products doing this exact same thing. I can understand why a problem that causes you to stall out in the middle of a busy intersection is not addressed. First it start telling me that it was electronic throttle control problem, then it's now telling me that is a problem between the throttle control module and the ECM. This happened exactly one minute after I left the dealer getting my airbags recalled. It stalls at when stationary, when moving, in the middle of the street, and every couple minutes. I know I am not alone with this problem but I don't understand why nothing is being addressed.
I have 2 problems. First while driving all my warning lights will flash on then go right off. Another problem I have is my car will turn over and sometimes start but die immediately. Once I get it started it will go fine for a while before doing it again. By the looks of my research both problems are pretty common in 2006 chargers.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. Upon purchasing the vehicle, the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was taken to royal buick gmc (815 w auto mall dr, lot a, tucson, az 85705, (520) 777-1149) where it was serviced and repaired. The contact stated that a bank installed a lojack device on the vehicle, which caused the vehicle to shut off without warning. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and the contact was informed that they could not assist because of the device attached to the vehicle. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 75,000.
While was trying to turn into parking spot my charger suddenly died. When turned the car back on was able to start right back up. This has been happening more when tryong to turn the wheel all the way from a stop position or moving. Have almost been hit a few times when it just stops

-the sunroof will not always close all the way. It will reopen itself upon exiting -my car stalls often whenever I accelerate, it seems the gas has to "catch up" this uncomfortable/unsafe.) home. Also, it is embarrassing for my car to 'conk out'. - I am currently broken down due to the fuel pumps' incorrect assertions of gas. Disappointed andneed assistance to repair said issues. Thank you
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
My son's car caught fire after he had parked it for the night. After 10 minutes he was called at his apartment by a friend who told him his car was on fire. There were no warning signs whatsoever. No warning lights, unusual smells, or hints of impending doom for his car.
The car will shut off randomly, the error code keeps pointing back to the ECM and I have had that replaced now it is doing it again and there is no warning when it happens on the freeway it jolts like it wants to shutoff but it doesn't the RPM's go down and it revs back up, it started just with it having the RPM's go down and rev back up randomly and its been happening for 2 years now it just shuts off and starts back up immediately but sometimes ill drive a couple feet and it will die again. It has been in and out of the shop for the last 8 months. They have sent the computer back to have it analysed and to repair the new one I got now. When driving it also shuts off and then just starts up back by itself. I see this everywhere on the internet and forums, some say ECM needs to be replaced other say the fuel tank and the other says something about the key fob not recognizing the key. I want this investigated and a recall to be issued. From everyone I have spoken to every single 2006 dodge charger has this problem with the 5.7 lt with the hemi.
Transmission and car computer are not working together properly, making the transmission shut off as I drive the car. Can happen at a red light, in the highway, even when it's parked. Brought it to several mechanics no one could fix it. Called the dealership and they claim no open recall but yet the car only has 89k miles. Was built wrong off the line if you ask me.
Engine shuts off while driving
" takata recall" bought my 2006 dodge charger last march had it for 3 days the engine blew. Replaced the engine with a v6 2008 2.7 with only 57000 .

Please help figure out whats going on with these problems. We already replaced the computer, gas pedal, sensors and the engine. Mileage on the body 260000 on the second engine 63000.
There is something going on with the electrical system which causes the instrument cluster to completely shut down and lights to flicker when driving. Usually happens when car heater is on or driving for a long period of time. I have a video of the issue and showed it to cerritos dodge service department but they didnt acknowledge issue.
The occupant classification system was defective and failed to recognize a passenger was seated in the front seat during a crash. As a result, the passenger's airbag failed to deploy in a severe frontal impact collision. The vehicle was involved in a severe, direct frontal impact with another vehicle while traveling at highway speeds. The impact was severe, deformed frame rails and was directly frontal. The driver's airbag deployed, but the passenger airbag failed to deploy. The passenger, an adult female, was belted but her head hit the dash in the area of the airbag flap and she suffered fatal head injuries. The ECM was downloaded and revealed the occupant classification system had failed to recognize a passenger was in the front seat at the time of the crash. The eprom data read "front passenger occupant class: undetermined" even though an adult female was seated in the front passenger seat at the time of the crash. Investigation revealed that trw automotive u.s. Llc and kelsey-hayes company are the suppliers responsible for the occupant classification system and related parts that failed.

Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that there were several failures that progressed within months of owning the vehicle. The vehicle stalled several times and the instrument panel warning indicators and gauges flickered. When there was a loss of power, the doors would automatically lock and were unable to open. In addition ,the brakes failed to function properly when applied. An unknown dealer replaced the brakes and the pinion pins twice due to the wheels on the driver's side being affected due to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failures and the contact was waiting to determine if there was an option to trade in or buy back the vehicle. The failure mileage was not available.
Two years ago I had to replace the engine while driving the car all the lights came on and it lost power while driving at approximately 40 MPH. Yesterday while on the highway going 65 MPH the car lost power. This is very unsafe especially on the highway.
My car's engine stalls without warning while driving. I had problems with this when I bought the car within the same week from a used car dealer. It now affects my headlights by making them flash on and off while driving. The car has been in and out of the shop for the past year and no one can seem to find the issue. There is a past time device installed which interfered with the security system. The dealership took out the security system and shortly thereafter the engine stalls began. Engine stalls occur while driving or stopped at traffic lights. It happens randomly but not often. The headlights happen everyday and is getting worse. The vehicle is becoming undrivable but no service tech can find the issue.
Theres seems to be a short in the electrical system which cause the instrument cluster to completely shut down and light to flicker when driving. Usually happens when car heater is on or driving for a long period of time. Dealer will not acknowledge issue very known problem on the internet boards with charger owners.

My 2006 dodge charger hemi police interceptor I purchased from the state of oregon at 137,000 randomly dies. The lightning bolt warning light comes on. The electronic throttle control code comes on. The car has been to the dealer and the PCM $750 has been replaced and the plugs $350 have been replaced as well. I also get TCM codes. My car has died at very dangerous times, when passing or merging into traffic. The dealer doesn't know what's causing it.
The vehicle will stall at a stop sign or stop light. The lights will flicker and the gauges will go to the max amounts and then back to zero. The car restarts and runs fine after this happens, but it keeps reoccurring.
Car shuts down completely while driving. Check engine light comes on along with a red lighting bolt. Went to dodge dealership & they ran diagnostics no code came up. They did replace fuel tank from a previous recall. Got car back & immediately stalled again. Carried car back & they ran diagnostic while driving & code came up to replace computer. Replaced & programmed computer & car is still doing it. Dodge states that they do not know what the problem is.
