I have had this 2006 dodge charger for a while .now it's been stalling and sometimes shutting off for no reason. Me and my 3 year old grandbaby was at a red light and the light turned green, I started to go car stalled and shut off. No was behind me at the time, so I was trying to get it to start,when I looked up . Saw a truck flying up on us. Thank god no one was beside us or he would of rear ended us. My boyfriend is a mechanic.he has worked for chrysler for over 32 years. He can't seem to find the cause of it. No codes nothing. He can't talking to half of the bus. We replaced throttle body,TCM,PCM and some other things. Still nothing has helped. I have owned two other chargers. This one is a night mare. Please do something. I'm getting to the point I'm scared to drive it.
2006 Dodge Charger fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 18: complaints 71 to 100 of 516, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After fueling gas tank to full level the car starts and runs fine for approximately two blocks down the street then the engine abruptly shuts off and stalls in traffic (dangerous). The vehicle requires restarting twice more before it will run normally. This happens every time the gas tank is fully filled. No problem if the tank is filled less than full. This has occurred the last three times gas tank was fully fueled. 2006 dodge charger srt8 6.1l hemi.
Takata inflators. When I fill the tank with gas and start driving it will sputter, jerk and stall. When it stalls and I finally get it started, I press on the gas lightly it doesn't move and then it lunges forward. This just started in the last month, but it now happens every time I fill the tank for about the first 20-30 miles driven. I've read that his is an issue with these cars. I also see the warranty has been extended to many vehicles regarding this issue but on this particular car there is no recall for this VIN. The car has 57500 miles on it.
The vehicle stalls while driving, no matter the speed, and the power steering goes out when vehicle stalls preventing me from being able to steer the vehicle. This has happened several times, even on the interstate with other fast moving vehicles behind me, and is very dangerous. I have had different parts replaced trying to fix the problem, and was told the entire fuel tank will have to be replaced to solve the problem. I went online to see if other dodge owners experienced the same problem, and was amazed at the thousands of people complaining about the exact same thing. This website is one of many. Https://www.cargurus.com/cars/discussion-t4117_ds539199 the problem seems to start after 90,000 miles. There should be a recall to fix this problem before someone gets killed.
Filled up my 2006 dodge charger 5.7l hemi v8 today and I got out of the gas station parking lot then it stalled out and died. I had my two small children with me, and I was on an extremely busy houston street having to try to get my car home with it repeatedly dying anytime I had to slow down to come to a stop at a light or accelerate from a stop. This has never happened before, and the vehicle was running fine until I filled it up. I did not over fill, I never top off.
My car has a constant smell of exhaust fumes in the cabin. This odor is most prevalent when you first start the car and remains.the odor is strongest when the car is started and the AC is on, the odor is made worse by switching the AC selector to pull in air from outside the vehicle. This greatly concerns me because I dont want to be engaging deadly methane fumes.dodge told me they would diagnose the issue for 130 but I feel a safety risk such as this should be examined free of charge by the manufacturer before some is poisoned or dies
The car stalls after filling up the fuel tank. Dodge has extended the warranty on these tanks but says my car is not covered. This is a safety issue, I have had it stall on the highway and in traffic. I don't understand why this isn't a safety recall.
I been online looking for this kinda problem and it looks like everyone has this problem but there is not recall and this is extremely dangerous, can whenever you fill up the tank and the level from the gas shuts off on it's own, meaning not overfilling. The car stalls at lot in low rpms and hesitates alot, car shuts off and steering wheel lock making this extremely dangerous, tank is 19 gallos, once you waste 1-2 gallos of gas everything goes back to normal, have change already purge valve in front of the car, also the evap leak detection pump and nothing, everyone online has this problem and no one has a fixed. No engine lights comes on, sometimes a misfire, changed map sensor, camshaft sensor, crank sensor, mass airflow sensor, spark plugs wires, injectors and plugs and still the same. When I run torque app from android store it says evap cap off on red, like that test it never pass. Something with gas related I guess

The car stalled as I was driving. I have looked up this issue before and people have said it has something to do with the fuel tank. A dealership has replaced the fuel tank a few months back and today it stalled again. This is the first time this has happened since replacing the fuel tank. It appears this is a bigger problem than just the fuel tank. There should be a recall placed before people are seriously hurt and/or killed. The car shuts off while driving. If it is on the freeway then it'll be catastrophic on what can happen. The car also loses steering when it shuts off causing a bigger problem.
Every time I get gas and start the engine, it jerks and dies after driving a few hundred feet. I start it again and it keeps doing the same thing repeatedly. I'm afraid to pull into traffic because I don't know when it's going to just stop running. I feel this is a very unsafe situation. It has been going on for about 2 years now. Last night was the most recent occurrence.
There is deterioration in the upper parts of the filler pipe. The vent (can't recall the proper name) causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling which shuts off the car (like some cars that will not start if the gas cap is not on completely.) replacing this part will not solve the problem long term.
Every time I fill car with fuel right after fueling it dies . Sometimes 2-3 times. Can be hard to restart. Already replaced evap solenoid did not correct. This is know issue with fca VIN range should be expanded.
Vehicle stalls after filling up, especially on turns at slow speed. It happened several times intermittently.
After every time I fill up the gas (not top off)the car stalls out
For the past couple of months when I fill up or top off in gas, as soon as I start to drive the car eithe stalls or completely cut not while driving. I'm bieber has happened while in the highway after fueling up as well as on the city streets. Due this malfunction, I have almost been rear ended.
My dodge charger cuts off while driving or while sitting at stop lights. I am able to start up again but then it shuts off at the next stop light or while driving on the interstate. There is no trouble codes or check engine lights.
After filling up, my car engine stalls. I took it to the mechanic and was told chrysler knows about it. I looked it up on your site and indeed found pe13016 but disagree with the finding being that it is a low safety issue. This has happened multiple times where I would be in the middle of traffic and the engine stalls and shuts off and the steering locks up where I can't steer the car whatsoever. The mechanic told me that it was due to a fuel vapor lock in which the evap valve stays open and due to it, the engine runs rich because of the fuel. I was told not to overfill in which I have stopped, however, this happens just by filling up. I have had to rev the engine to burn off gas until the engine stops stalling. Every time, I've stopped traffic in the middle of the road and it has happened at night as well where visibility is low and almost got hit because my car stalled. It has also happened right before turning in a busy intersection and thankful that it happened right before I made the turn. Every time it has happened I've been in motion on a city street and a few times on a highway but every time I was about to turn. The first time it happened, I didn't know and got the tow truck to tow the car and had the police to come behind me because in his words, I was in an unsafe location, so that no other oncoming vehicles would hit me. The date that I placed on when it happened is the last date it has happened thus far as of this writing.
Shortly after fill up the car will die. This has happened multiple times after filling up and it has happened after multiple fill ups. The car will start moving and I will begin driving when the car dies and I lose power steering. I took it to a mechanic and they said that it is a known safety issue with 2006 dodge chargers. The fuel tank and the evap canister needs to be replaced.

When I fill up the gas tank of my vehicle, starts properly and runs good for a few minutes then stalls, pull to the side of the road, start again and runs fine for a few more minutes and then it does it again, vehicle is in motion or stationary, it happen also twice when turning and power steering went out almost ran out of the road the first time and the second had to apply brakes hard in order to avoid collision with another vehicle, very un-safe and dangerous. When driven about 40-60 the problem goes away and then starts all over when gas tank is filled up again. I do not have photos, police report or any other documentation to upload and hope not to have any to get this issue resolved.
Major safety issue. After refueling, my vehicle stalls anywhere from 1-6 times at random times. It happens at highway speeds, and city driving. There is a total loss of power (brakes and steering included) had a very close call of causing an accident due to this issue. This issue is supposedly covered by extended lifetime warranty but my VIN is not "eligible" for some reason. In order to fix the issue, the gas tank has to be replaced $1500+ expense. Very disappointed that dodge abandon my here. Even though im experiencing the issue, im not eligible because my VIN range missed the lifetime warranty.
When I fill the car up and it stops the fuel pump automatically, I close the gas cap and start the car. When I drive off it will stall. It will start back up right after but I have been making a turn after leaving the gas station and the car has stalled leaving me with no power steering or brakes. It only does this when I fill the car up. Because of this issue I can only fill the car 3/4 of the way up.
While driving after filling gas tank to full, vehicle stalled twice on way home. Both occurrences happened within a 5 minute period. Both occurrences happened with the vehicle in motion, on a city street.
