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.
2006 Dodge Charger fuel system complaints

For the last several months I have had problems with my 2006 dodge charger rt stalling and cutting while driving or idling while stopped. This happens only after filling up my gas tank. Recently it happened while turning at an intersection and I had to quickly steer into a business parking lot to get out of traffic.
After refueling my vehicle stalled in motion on a highway
Each time I refuel my vehicle the vehicle stalls while in motion on a highway. This happens with any amount of gas I put into the tank. The vehicle stalling after refueling has occurred at various speeds ranging from 0mph at a complete stop up to 50mph
My 2006 dodge charger is stalling on me every time I put gas in it. This is a safety hazard,
Vehicle stalls and dies 6-8 times immediately after filling tank with fuel. It does this every time I fill it. Purchased car on 7/27/2019. Recall on airbags actuator was repaired at dealership but is not showing as documented on your website.
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.
Bought the 2006 dodge charger. We filled with gas a couple miles from the dealer. When leaving the gas station the car stalled in front of oncoming traffic. Thankfully, the other drivers avoided hitting us until we got it restarted. Then at highway speed the car again started bucking and choking. Research online shows this to be a common issue with this vehicle. This is a dangerous problem that concerns me greatly!
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled when the fuel tank was filled up completely. The contact was able to restart the vehicle with no further issues. The contact called the manufacturer and was informed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer informed the contact to call the federal safety agency. The dealer was not contacted. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The failuire mileage was 64,000.
After refueling the car stalls after moving maybe 20 feet. It takes a while to start back up but stalls again while moving on the highway/road.
Car will run fine one day next day it won't, car cuts off when stopping an stop sign or light. Car jerks when pressing gas pedal too hard, gas odors coming from muffler.
Sometimes after filling the fuel tank full with gasoline, when driving the car, the engine stalls and quits. It can be a bit difficult to restart. I have only had this happen on city streets because those are the only places I normally drive.
My 2006 dodge charger has developed a stalling issue every time I fill with gas. I have tried different things as far as not filling to the top or not topping it off with gas. I filled with gas along an interstate and when I was trying to get on the interstate it quit on me down the off ramp when I was to merge with traffic. Was able to get car to the side of the interstate and re-start but died again. Started again and then it ran with no issues. Now it has issues every time it is gassed up. I filled up yesterday and same thing died out at a stop sign trying to get on the highway. I have heard this is a big issue with these cars and I'm surprised that there hasn't been anything done to dodge to fix this issue. I've heard it could cost up to $1,500 to fix. I like the car but it is a safety issue to drive it. Please help! Thanks
My 2006 dodge charger rt with the road and track option will intermittently loose power and often die after filling gas tank. Even if you don't completely fill it still will die unexpectedly. I never top the tank off with more gas. In addition when car dies going around a curve, the power steering goes out making driving really dangerous. The engine dies at nearly any condition. When traveling at highway speed, after accelerating after stopping. It happens most during acceleration after turns.
Power shuts off randomly, stalling, acceleration lost, but will fire right back up if you flip the key around or put in neutral. Very unsafe if traffic coming and it shuts right down. Also while in park it's shuts off
Recently, after pumping gas into my car and after driving for a few moments, the car stops as I approach a stop sign or a light. This has happened to me immediately after at least 3 recent gas fill-ups. I shut off my car and start it up again and after driving a short period, it happens again. This only happens after I pump gas into my vehicle (2006 dodge charger r/t). This has happened on city streets as I am fearful of going on the expressways with the possibility of it stalling and stopping. I believe there is a faulty valve or gas tank situation.
After refueling vehicle it will stall at low steeds. Sometimes it will stall at a stop and others when making a turn it will completely shut off. This has been ongoing for the past 3 years so it mostly the car sits in the garage.
-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 gas a check engine light comes on and the vehicle stalls while being stopped at lights. The vehicle has had all emissions components replaced except for the evaporator canister and fuel tank. Unknown as of yet if the vehicle stalls under highway conditions, but close to being hit in the rear when vehicle stalls at traffic lights.
After refueling and if I leave the pump, but not the station, I experience bucking and/or stalling and loss of steering and brakes. This happens even up to a couple of miles of driving. My car bucks violently at highway speeds and even stalls. If I stop at a stop sign or light, it stalls. It happens on a soft or hard acceleration. I tried them both. If I do leave the station immediately, it will then happen on a city street, road, even on the interstate. It happens after every fill-up, so travel is not only unnerving, it's unsafe... Losing steering or brakes. They told me not to top off at the gas pump. I don't. It happens on the flat, up hill, down hill, turning right or left, warm weather or cold weather, high or low humidity, it still happens. I was told that it is about a $1500 fix. If I had $1500, I wouldn't be driving a 13 year old car.
After filling up gas tank (not topping off at all) the car will stall randomly for about 15 minutes after fill up even while driving at higher speeds. Very dangerous. Steering is lost and even when restarting it takes a second for the transmission to engage when putting the car in drive. This has been happening with my vehicle for about a year now.
Engine shuts off at any speed. Spent over $6,000 at dealership still has same problem. Very very dangerous at freeway speeds lose of power steering and power brakes when the engineshuts down. Will restart and drive after malfunctioning.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving 60 MPH, the engine would shut off. The eas code indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who found a manufacturer recall pertaining to the fuel tank. The contact did not receive a recall notification. The manufacturer stated that they could not assist since the vehicle was too old. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled after fuel was added to the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to village dodge, inc. (819 ny-66, hudson, ny 12534, (518) 828-1585) and the failure was repaired. The stalling failure had not been resolved. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the vehicle's computer system misread that there was no fuel in the tank. As a result, all the electrical components shut off. The failure mileage was 54,000.
Filled up tank. Drove car for 1/2 hour approx 30 miles. While making a left hand turn at a low rate of speed the car stalled, shut it self off. The oil lamp and traction control light came on. Car would not fire back up. Took a few attempts. Upon restarting the car was running rough. Continue driving at very low speed attempting to turn into parking stall car again stalled and shut it self off. Felt the car was unsafe to drive home. Had it towed.
My 2006 dodge charger completely died on me while driving at 40 MPH. Luckily I was alone on a city road but lost all control and felt I was barley braking and steering was near impossible. I was able turn everything off in the car and restart but it happened 3 other times within 2 miles. At one point while turning left on a highway it died; I was almost to a point to hitting other cars turning left in same direction and others behind me. I was able to drive 4 miles today without incident however after researching this exact issue among other charger owners I searched for a recall and nothing has been said by dodge. This issue doesn't seem to be from personal actions but a flaw in a system on this make/model. It has happened to me twice before a few years ago however I read something about a gas cap and felt it was isolated. After last night and reading blogs today I see that this is a wide spread issue and not caused by not maintaining a vehicle or bad driving. This is an issue in design or manufacturing. Had this happened in any other driving setting during rush hour someone could be seriously injured or killed. I notified dodge and reported the issue but they said I would not be contacted and to keep receipts if something was wrong in case they do recall something. Why hasn't this been corrected after all these reports for the same issue to this many of the same vehicles? This has been happening since I reported it in jan of 2017 on no action or contact has been made.
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
Car shuts off without warning while in motion after filling gas tank. Power steering goes out as well. Very dangerous as the driver has no warning...
Car stutters and shuts off after I fuel up my 19gal gas tank. Car turns off when idle after fueling up. Did see that for my make and model and year of car there were warranties extended for gas tank to be replaced with the same issue, never received a recall for my vehicle. And dealership will not touch my gas tank.
Car will shut off going 45 MPH, at a stop light (0 MPH) or when crossing traffic intersections for examples (at most going 10 or 15 MPH). I will attempt to restart and the car will start up, stall up and then shut off again - when this happens, I lose power steering. I have to switch gears from drive to park and then turn the car off and then on again in hopes it will start. As you're driving, you can feel when the car is about to cut off, it throttles ahead a bit and revs, then the car beeps and turns off, while the gear is in drive and turning my wheel does nothing. I notice that this issue would usually happen after a fill up my gas tank, so I started only filling up halfway ,but the issue still persists. This issue became heavily frequent yesterday where the car stalled and cut off at least 4 different times while making a 7 mile drive back home. This was very very scary in my eyes, especially with a passenger in my seat. This is a huge safety concern because the vehicle is shutting off while in motion and powering steering is lost. If this happens on the highway going 60+ miles per hour, or turning into oncoming traffic, there is a guaranteed accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. I believe there is an issue with the gas tank and the evap canister that causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling the engine, which shuts off the car. This was filed under the federal safety agency pe13-016 (which appears to be closed or inaccessible- https://www-odi.the federal safety agency.dot.gov/acms/cs/documentlist.xhtml?docid=pe13016&doctype=inv). This safety concern really needs to be looked into.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. After filling the vehicle with fuel, it stalled in traffic. Sometimes the vehicle would restart, but other times the contact would have to crank the vehicle several times to restart it while in traffic. The dealer (sterling chrysler jeep dodge ram, 5504 I-49 frontage rd, opelousas, la 70570, (337) 942-1241) and the manufacturer stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The vehicle remained parked at the contact's house with no repairs completed. The failure mileage was 170,000.
