2006 Dodge Charger fuel system complaints
Page 11 of 18: complaints 281 to 310 of 516, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car stalls numerous times after fueling. Dodge says my VIN does not show any recalls. Refer to (pe13-016)
The problem started back in december of 2013 at 77,000 miles. When I fill up at the gas station (I never top of) the car stalls and shuts off. It happens every time I fill up. I pull out of the gas station and it shuts off in the middle of the road. Dealer can't find the problem. It's very frustrating. My main concern is safety and the repeated service visits and cost. The last time was scary because it shut off at a red light. When I started up the car again it shut off in the middle of traffic. I managed to get home but the car shut off several times during the drive.
Vehicle stalled in the middle of a busy street while driving during rush hour traffic. Luckily no one hit me (especially since I had my daughter in the car). I had just filled up the gas tank (did not overfill--gas is way too expensive for that). Had it towed and the dealer had to replace the fuel tank, o-ring unit, vapor canister, solenoid-proportional purge and some misc. Pins etc. Cost me $1900.00 out of my pocket with the dealer giving me a 10% service discount. They also informed me that with the vapor canister failing, if you were in a rollover accident the car most likely would catch fire which would definitely decrease your chances of surviving. This is a huge safety concern for anyone that is driving or riding in the vehicle even if it only shuts off. You can not brake or steer when the car shuts off so getting out of harms way is a challenge without getting hit by another vehicle. I see that there are a huge number of complaints regarding this issue and it needs to be put out as a service recall. Not an alert or bulletin but an actual recall. I guess when people start losing their lives and the lives of their loved ones that are passengers then maybe dodge will do the right thing. I see that there is some info out there that dodge was extending the warranty on the fuel tank/system and letters were to be sent to the car owners. I have not received anything I honestly believe that I should be reimbursed. Dodge used to have "safety first" on their website. Odd, I don't see that anymore.
Pe13-016, this issue applies to my charger r/t and anytime I fill up my gas tank the car will stall at any speed. I've had this happen at any speed from the low speeds mentioned to as high as 45 when I was accelerating and I had sloshed the gas tank. Anyway, I have talked with multiple dodge dealerships and they have all told me that they have no idea what I'm talking about and that they have nothing in their system that would show them my car was affected. I feel that this is crazy and needs to be corrected. I have a car that will kill itself after any fillup and I can't get the manufacturer to own up to what they promised.
I feel that chrysler is not honoring the agreement of extending the warranty on the fuel tanks as stated. Its been months and chrysler either isn't going to warranty the tanks or they are being very selective on which tanks they consider defective. My VIN is not showing being covered by this warranty even though it meets all the qualifications. This is the message I received from the local dodge/chrysler dealership regarding my fuel tank issue on april 10, 2014: in checking on chrysler's website, there is no listed extended coverage regarding your fuel tank pertaining to your particular vehicle at this time. Recall's are VIN specific and after checking yours on chryslers website it does not show any extended lifetime coverage regarding your vehicle in particular. If you have any other questions or concerns regarding this matter please feel free to contact chrysler/dodge at 1‑800‑423‑6343. My original complaint regarding the issue with my 2006 dodge charger was filed: date complaint filed: 01/07/2014 component(s): fuel/propulsion system date of incident: 11/28/2013 the federal safety agency id number: 10558790.
This has happened many times. After filling the vehicle with a full tank, shortly afterwards car will stall without warning. Sometimes as I exit the fuel station, other times it's 10 minutes later when I'm on the road. Several times when driving it'll buck, stall and then start back up as it's coasting. Most of the time it'll stall at a traffic light. When it stalls, it'll start back up, but there's a computer-related delay that prevents the car from going into gear for about 10-20 seconds... Which seems like an eternity when you're stuck in the middle of an intersection. I've had some very close calls due to this, have learned not to trust the car, and have now learned not to fill it up fully. Note this can happen when it's anything over 3/4 full. I've had the car since new, it's well maintained, and now has 102k miles. The stalling problem is the only safely related issue that I've had.
Filled my tank at gas station, got back on the highway and the car stalled (at over 60mph). Car would restart w/out problem, but it happened several more times. It cleared up and I assumed it was bad gas (water, perhaps). Had company in town the next week. Same, filled tank, got on ih-35, and the car stalled on a flyover (much to the dismay of those driving behind me). I lost power steering/braking and almost ran into to wall (with 3 other people in the car). I found others who'd had similar trouble, and knew I couldn't afford the new tank. Recently, I saw that dodge had extended the warranty on the tank; so I took it to the dealership where I get my maintenance done. They confirmed it was a fuel tank problem (the same others have had), but denied that the warranty would cover it. I called dodge customer service, and they said the same. I know others have had this happen at low speeds, but both times it occurred going over 60mph for me, and I feel it is a safety hazard.
After filling up gas tank completely my car will die every time, sometimes about 5 minutes after I pull out into traffic. It has been happening for over a year now. I would like to reference pe13-016, dodge/chrysler says I will have to 1800$ to have this fixed and that there is no extended warranty on this faulty setup.
After filling the car with gas (full tank), and leaving the station, the car shuts completely off.
After refueling, car stalls numerous times while driving in traffic. I only have 50,700 miles on the car. I understand the federal safety agency has studied the issue, pe13-016 and required chrysler to extend the fuel tank warranty indefinitely. I have the car at cerritos dodge in cerritos, ca and they indicate that there is no extension and want $2200.00 to repair. Chrysler doesn't admit to any extension as well. Please help! Thanks, [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Engine stall after refuel. In researching this issue, the federal safety agency #pe13016 addresses the problem. However, I have yet to receive any documentation that allows repair of my vehicle. Dodge states my vehicle isn't covered.
When vehicle gets filled up with fuel, the vehicle will stall and also quit running at idle and while accelerating. Called the local dealership they have not heard anything about the problem. Searched online and found the federal safety agency has closed an investigation on this problem. Supposedly chrysler is fixing it, but like I previously wrote, the lawton chrysler jeep dodge dealership has no knowledge of what is going on.
I continue to have a problem with my car stalling after refueling. I know that the federal safety agency has been investigating this issue for a while (pe-13-016) and that they closed this investigation on feb 10, 2014, after chrysler agreed to provide a lifetime warranty on the multifunction control valve on fuel tank. I had been waiting to receive my letter, which supposedly began being mailed out in january 2014, so I could have this fixed. I talked to my dealership in march who said they knew nothing of the problem and they suggested calling chrysler. I called chrysler on april 4, 2014, and they said they are still investigating the problem and that I should just wait for the letter. I have had to deal with my car stalling out for nearly a year and when I thought it was nearly over, I was told to wait some more? Why isn't chrysler honoring their agreement with the federal safety agency?
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger . The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle suddenly stalled. The contact indicated that the defect occurred multiple times after refueling. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified and no solution was offered. The failure mileage was 130,000.
Vehicle is stalling after filling up with gas. Occurs when idling (such as at a stoplight) or when decelerating at which it also loses the power steering. Highly concerned this will occur in the middle of a busy intersection. Can restart the car usually after two attempts. May go to the next light/stop and same incident will repeat itself. After driving the car for a few miles... (presumably as the fuel level goes down)... Car behaves as normal - without issue. Symptoms are very much like a bad tank of gas. Took car to the dealer and they were unable to diagnose the problem. Dealer ran diagnostic checks and no issues are reported. Dodge refuses to do anything until dealer can diagnose the problem. Yet, there is the exact same type of investigation that has already occurred (pe13016) - http://www-odi.the federal safety agency.dot.gov/cars/problems/defect/results.cfm?action_number=pe13016&searchtype=quicksearch&summary=true where chrysler acknowledges the problem with my 5.7l engine. Is frustrating as can take the car to the dealership shortly after the problem (when it is occurring) and they inspect to find everything appears to be in find working order. Yet, I certainly know the problem exists. :-(
On the last 2 occasions of filling our vehicle with gas the car will purge and stall, loosing all power. I happens for a couple days and then goes away. We took it to the dealer and they cannot find any codes, they also told us do not fill the tank. I do not understand this and I do not feel safe in this vehicle anymore. I have not been filling the tank and so far so good but not the answer. Its very scary to just stall after filling your car with gas and there is nothing you can do. I need help..
Vehicle stalls out and engine stops running after filling with gas. Reported problem to dodge after several instances, once going 50 MPH when car completely died while in traffic just missing getting rearended. Dodge states there is a fuel tank problem and a replacement is needed at a cost of 1500.00 this problem needs to be addressed, as there are numerous incidents listed on the internet. I have to fill my car to only the 3/4 full mark to keep it running without incident.
I was leaving the gas station after I filled up the car with gasoline and the engine stalled. I placed the transmission in park and turned on the car in the middle of traffic, drove to the stop light and the car stalled again. The car kept stalling every time I would stop for the next three miles. The car ran fine until I topped off the fuel tank and then the car began stalling again. The car stalls at every stop for the next two to three miles every time that I top off the fuel tank. I cannot and have not topped off the fuel since then for fear that the car will stall and cause an accident.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that immediately after refueling the vehicle it stalled without any warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and the technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 80,000. The current mileage was 82,000.
Refilled with fuel and as I was pulling out on to the street the car stalled. I restarted and began to drive. It stalled a 2nd time. After I got it started again it seemed ok. Every since then, every time I fill up it stalls out. I have to sit in the gas station lot and let it run until it stalls out. I afraid to drive on the street as I might get into an accident. After it stalls out a couple of time in the gas station lot, it doesn't do it again until I fill up again.
After filling up vehicle with gas car would quit running as I entered highway. Car shut off sitting at several traffic light. While attempting to get up to speed car was stalling. After about 30 miles of driving when gas ran out of tank car was fine. Refueled yesterday and same problem issue is defective gas tank and with numerous complaints chrysler has not done a recall to fix vehicles.
Like a number of others in the database we had just filled the gas tank and driven a few miles. After stopping for a traffic light we attempted to accelerate through the intersection after the light turned green. We just cleared the intersection when the car bucked several times and the engine died. We pulled off to the side of the road and attempted to start the car. After several tries the car started up, idled ok, and we proceeded on. The next time we filled up the car the same thing happened. After doing some research on the internet we found the description of the problem as liquid gas getting into the fuel vent line when the gas tank was filled. We subsequently got gas twice without totally filling the tank and had no problems. The internet site we found indicated that the problem could be either the purge solenoid valve or a valve integral to the gas tank. Since the purge solenoid valve was the cheaper fix we tried that first. That fix was not successful as the car stalled after being filled up. We replaced the gas tank yesterday, filled the gas tank, and had no stalling or hesitation. So, it appears that the problem is fixed. However, I could envision a number of situations where one could be in a life-threatening situation if the car died in the middle of an intersection or in heavy traffic on the interstate. Since this appears to be a well-known problem I don't understand why there has not been a recall.
Engine dies when at an idle and low speeds. Cranks right back but will die at low MPH. Almost always dies at red lights and stop signs. Also dies when about to make turns at low MPH. Dealership has no idea what is wrong. Has been doing this for almost a year.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger rt. The contact stated that on multiple occasions, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted after several attempts. Additionally, gasoline would sporadically spill from the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the check valve was causing an overflow condition. The vehicle was later taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the check valve, evaporation canister and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90000. ..updated 05-09-14 *bf .. ..updated 05/15/14 *bf the consumer stated the vehicle stalled at a highway speed, and another instance of fuel spilling from the tank during fill-up resulting in a spill at the gas pump/ the consumer stated he was forced to stop re-fueling at about 15-18 gallons to avoid the situation. Updated 05/15/14
After re-fueling, my 2006 dodge charger will stall until the car has been driven 20-30 miles. The stall will occur at any speed and will stop after some fuel has been used. I am concerned because this stall has occurred at busy intersections and heavy traffic. I consider this a serious safety issue.
Filled up fuel tank and let the nozzle click. Left the gas station, stopped at a light, car stalled. No indicator lights appeared. Restarted easily, and I was driving through the intersection, and at about 15mph, car stalled again and restarted quickly. I pulled off the road, sat for awhile with the car running with no further stalling. Contacted a mechanic, and was informed that a valve in the evap canister located within the gas tank will get stuck, allowing raw fuel to enter the system, giving a false reading to the ECM, indicating the car is running too rich, and will adjust, causing the car to stall. Had to replace the fuel tank(as the evap valve is integrated within the tank), and have had no further problems since. Seems to be a serious safety concern, since there is no indication that car is about to stall and no way to determine that you need to move to safety, especially if you were entering traffic onto a fast moving freeway.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated while driving at low speeds, the engine stalled without warning. There were numerous attempts before the engine would restart and then the vehicle would resume normally. The failure recurred only after refueling. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 105,000.
When temps. Were cold less than 25 degress the accelerator would would stick at 4,000 RPM. I could put my foot under the gas pedal and lift it up to a normal idle. The throttle is electronically controlled. Here in michigan with more than 90" of snow this season an accident was waiting to happen, very unsafe. I told the dealer what was wrong and I expected a repair $495.00 parts and labor. I called chrysler customer service 4 days of conversation got me nowhere. I paid a $99.50 for diagnoses and took it elsewhere. The gas pedal assembly was replaced. Apon a under hood inspection the connector that plugged in the front of the air itake was removed, throttle plate actuator. When I drove it in I could accelerate, my 6 mile ride home had a top speed of 20 MPH and 2 dash lites were on. I went to kevin [service write up] and he just blamed it on the gas pedal assembly...wrong. The gas pedal assembly has no sign of damage, rust or anything to cause this problem.
Engine stalls and dies after filling up car. Usually dies 4 times than no more problems until I fill the car up again. I have worked with my mechanic for almost 1 year trying to find the problem. The solutions so far is to not fill the tank up all the way. Car complaints.com show that the federal safety agency is investigating these complaints. Says that you have closed the investigation and found the problem to be the fuel shut-off float in the multifunction control value stiicks. I call chrysler assistance about the warranty on the fuel tank being extended to life time to cover this problem but they said they did not know anything about it. Lady said she had receive 3 calls about the problem in the last week. But just told me to contact the federal safety agency.
