Severe safety issue and potential for critical component damage to other parts of the vehicle! Warning tone and lamps do not appear until after the incident happens. And it has been confirmed by 3 consecutive car shops and dealers. Happens repeatedly, day to day.

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.

Out of no where my car started stalling on me, took it to a mechanic, cleaned ground wires, changed o2 sensor, cleaned throttle body everything looks and sounds good, but the car stalls, while I'm driving, as well as at a stop, sometimes it completely shuts off and I loose all control including power steering, and sometimes just cuts off for half a second and turns itself back on, iv seen a lot of posts about the gas tank overfilling problem, as well as a ignition switch problem with these cars, I called the dealer but they said they can't address it since my VIN isn't reported for those recalls. My car is unsafe to drive right now and I don't know why but there's reports of manufacturer faults.
Purchased vehicle as is on 03/16/2021 at date of purchase vehicle had almost 200,000 miles on it it needed front end lower control arms and bushings replacement on both driver and passenger sides the air conditioning didn't work due to the AC compressor being no good so the compressor had to be replaced as well the driver side window wouldn't go down regulator. Had to be brought and replaced as well also at the time of purchase in which vehicle was sold as is with a malfunctioning seatbelt issue in which the driver's side seatbelt was fastened and will not unfasten the passenger side seatbelt works however the cars sensor beeps and flashes indicating that someone is in the passenger seat without their seatbelt on even with the seatbelt being fastened without an actual body or weight being in the seat at all.... Since compressor has been replaced car has started running hot coolant and water has to currently be added just for regular daily use
Filled gas tank, did not top off. Left parking lot and the car died going down the road. Happened 3 times that day. Has happened many times since november 2020, didn't know you had complaint line. This left me with no steering or brakes. It has now gotten to the point of the car won't even start now. I am afraid that damage from this issue has 'taken' my car, as it will no longer start. We upkeep our vehicles with regular maintenance.

When driving the car it will randomly turn off and then come back on with out having to restart it. It's like if you were to turn a light switch on and then off again, it's that quick. I'm talking about everything shuts down, the lights the radio the gauges everything and then sometimes it comes right back on. There has been some occasions where it doesn't come back on tho.
2006 dodge charger daytona r/t randomly stalls while driving or parked. No check engine light gets produced. In that split second that it shuts off, the car loses power completely and no brakes or power steering. This is extremely dangerous, and dodge should issue a recall immediately to fix this issue. Most sources point to a faulty gas tank that has a lifetime warranty now but should be recalled.
My 2006 dodge charger has been hesitating and dying immediately after filling up my fuel tank, every time. This has been an ongoing problem as of the last 6 months. I've read in multiple online dodge forums that this has to do with a faulty 'evaporation valve' in the fuel tank and that there are many 2006 dodge owners who have encountered the exact same problem. There are no codes in the vehicle's computer & the dealership has not taken ownership of the problem created by their design & created a recall of the gas tank or 'evaporation valve'. I was directed to this website to notify you of this problem in hopes of alerting dodge of the issue. It is extremely dangerous. In the event that this happens in traffic or while turning in an intersection, the vehicle may easily become uncontrollable, as all power steering & power brakes are rendered useless.
My 2006 dodge charger rt v8 5.7 keep stalling after I put gas in and shut off while I'm driving and when I pull over and it start right back up I'm really concerned about my safety because it done that multiple times on my way to work and after work
I had my car 14 years (bought new in 2006)kept up with maintenance, oil changed ect.. My cars has close to 167,000. While driving to local gas station parked my car went got what I needed. And my car wouldn't crank over and I heard a knocking noise each time the engine tried to turn over. My car was well taking care of why would my engine fail been reading and it appears these type of car been having this issue for years. Please investigate. I'm carless now
It cuts off when I'm driving it slows down and I have to tryin get over .and it takes almost a 1.5 hours before it cranks back up. That can cause a car crash.
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.
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.
Vehicle stalls when slowing to stop or turn, only after filling the gas tank. The stalling persists, and has left me in dangerous situations, until enough fuel is used. From 3/4 full and lower there is no stalling whatsoever.
We where driving down the road and the cajust cut off in the middle of the road.
Car stalls and steering wheel locks up and oil light comes on. Only happens after I put any gas in the car I do not fill it! I was crossing a intersection and my car died the steering wheel locked up completely and the oil light started flashing. I had to roll to the side of the road!!!!!!!!!
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that while traveling at 80 MPH, the engine stalled while the ABS and the check engine warning lights illuminated. The contact also stated that intermittently when starting the vehicle, the gear shifter would become difficult to shift out of the park position. The contact took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where he was informed that the brakes were defective. Upon investigation, the contact linked the federal safety agency campaign number: 06v149000 (service brakes, hydraulic) with the failure. The contact also took the vehicle to champion chrysler jeep dodge ram (563 n grand ave, nogales, az 85621) where they diagnosed the vehicle with a faulty brake light switch; however, the vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified about the failures and referred the contact to the federal safety agency. The failure mileage was unknown.
Car stalls after fill up. Pull into traffic and you lose steering breaks ect. Need to put in park to restart. Will continue and miss and stall for about 5 miles. Once you run some fuel out of the car it runs exceptional until the next fill up.
The first time my motor failed I was driving on the freeway 70mph and someone cut me off I hit the brakes good enough to barely avoid them crashing into me , when I tried to push the throttle immediately after the motor started jumping back and forth like it wanted to jump out of the engine bay , took it to dodge and they said two of my cylinders were only running at half the compression meaning I had a valve issue like these cars are well known to have now. Well $5,000 later I got my car back from dodge with one head replaced , just about 60k miles later the other head failed on me and traveled into my other head destroying that one and my pistons , just spent $9,000 to have the motor replaced and not even a 1,000 miles later I'm having the same issue . This is unacceptable I still owe money on the car and I've spent upwards of $14,000 to keep this car running . It's left me with no way to get me to work it's left me stranded I've lost a job because I couldn't be there I've missed out on opportunities in life because of this car I'm 23 years old and this has been going on 4 years now . I make minimum wage work 50hrs a week this car has taken a years worth of salary from me and made my life so stressful I can not stress this enough , this has made my life very difficult in these past 4 years ... The car is currently down because cylinder #2 only has about 90psi and I don't know why to do anymore ... I have no car I walk or take the bus to work everyday I can not do this much longer ..
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.
