2006 Dodge Charger fuel system complaints
Page 5 of 18: complaints 101 to 130 of 516, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After filling the gas tank and driving home, the car stalled on the street in front of my home. Took 3-4 time to get it started again. Could have had an accident.
Immediately after a fuel fill up the engine will stall several times in forward or reverse. This will continue until the engine has operated for 4 to 5 minutes. The engine has failed on me several times at intersections and when pulling onto roadways...very dangerous place to stall. There have been many reports made to the nhtsb and dodge forums on this issue. I just had my fuel cannister replaced and the problem remains.
While merging onto the interstate my engine shut completely off; I lost power steering and all throttle control. After pulling onto the side of the road I was able to turn the ignition on and drive away like normal. I have a 5.7l hemi and the car has 37,700 miles.
Vehicle stalls out while driving or sitting at traffic control devices. Sometimes after refueling. Mostly at times while driving 55 or 60 MPH and while slowing to turn causing the car to lose all powers. Check engine light, oil and etc all come on when this happens. This vehicle only has 48,000 original miles. Very dangerous while driving with my precious grandbabies in the car. Have had to the car to two dodge dealerships and they can not find a problem. I have even replace the computer and it did not correct the performance of the vehicle.
Car shuts off after refueling.
Gas tank extended lifetime warranty. My car stalls after refilling gas tank.it dies at idle.it dies when moving! It is very dangerious situation!!
On feb 25th I put gas in my vehicle, later that day I noticed a high gasoline scent from my car. Ie; 10 days prior I had my vehicle serviced at my local arrigo dodge dealership. I waited until the next to see if the smell had gone away, assuming I had put bad gas in my car. The next day before I could open my car doors I could smell the gasoline from standing outside my car. Still assuming I had bad gas I decided to drive out as much of the gas as possible. When I realized the smell would not go away, I went online and did some research, which lead to this being a common problem with the dodge vehicles, I watched multiple videos and read multiple comments. On feb 27th I followed some steps from videos. I took my back seat out lifted the guard and pulled of the fuel pump cover, and low and behold there was gas. This is a fire hazard. I drive my mother and my daughter in my car, anything could have happened. I called dodge customer service on feb 28th to report the problem to see if there was a recall, seeing that I was not the only one with this issue and complaint. Dodge was not much help. This problem that dodge ignores has cost me emotional distress and more money than I expect to spend to fix. Dodge shows no interest or care in this case as this being a hazard. I am completely disappointed in the way dodge is dealing with this issue. The representative that I spoke with did not give me any for of ease or comfort or offer any assistance on how this can be fixed. While it may seem like an easy fix to that rep, this problem goes beyond just fixing. Its a fire hazard and dodge needs to look further into this. Maybe when something drastic happens on this account I guess that when it may matter to this company. I my self have taken multiple pictures and videos.
Engine stall after filling gas tank up and starting to drive vehicle on roadway
After filling the fuel tank and pulling into traffic the car stalls which is very dangerous considering cars approaching or following you could crash into you . This happens each time I fuel up.
The last time I filled up my car, it kept stalling and I would lose power steering and brakes while in traffic with my children in car. Not very safe feeling. Scared I was going to get hit with family in car. It would start up but it would keep stalling until I ran a few gallons out of it. I filled it up again today and noticed a sucking noise coming from gas tank. It started up then stalled as I took off. So I pulled over and kept starting it up every time it stalled. After about an hour of not stalling I drove home and parked in garage. It would stall going straight and turning.
After filling fuel tank the vehicle would sputter and stall at stop light. Although it would restart it continues this pattern of stalling at streetlights or coming to a stop.
Engine stalls several times immediately after filling gas tank. This is very dangerous because you loose steering and power brakes in traffic. The dodge dealer says that it does this because there is gasoline in the vapor canister. I believe this is because something in the fuel tank is causing fuel to get into the canister where it does not belong. Changing the canister is not going to solve the problem. I am afraid to drive the car and I'm afraid to buy another dodge or chrysler.
My car completely shut off on me as I was driving it. This happened to me on 01/13/17 as I was leaving the gas station (after refueling). I was merging onto the freeway at the time, which turned out to be a blessing as I was able to merge into a safe location on the highway. After reading about similar cases online, I found this to be a recurring issue in the 06 chargers / chrysler models. This is definitely a major safety concern. Why has there not been a recall yet ??
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 by 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?
2006 dodge charger has a known issue involving vehicle stalling if the gas tank is filled. Dodge negotiated a lifetime warranty for repair of this defect in lieu of a recall. I was not notified of this warranty. My fuel pump has failed due to chronically running hot due to inability to fill the gas tank. The fuel pump design depends on the cooler temperature of the gasoline in the tank to keep it cooled. In other words, not being able to keep adequate gas tank levels has directly LED to fuel pump overheating and failure. Dodge will not cover the cost of fuel pump repair but will replace the fuel tank that caused the damage. The vehicle was in motion leaving the parking lot at.
My 2006 dodge charger keep stalling while driving. I was sitting at a light getting to ready to turn and the car stopped in the middle of the turn. Thankful it was a turn signal or I would have been hit. Also the engine light come on and the car just stalls then - you can wait about 5 min. And it will start back up. Upon doing my research I am unsure to why their has not been a recall. I was on the highway and it starts to stall then I hit the gas and it keeps going.
After filling up at a gas station, the car will stall out randomly at all speeds of travel. This is a huge safety issue that has sht down the car while merging onto freeway in front of semi-trucks only to have power steering and propulsion stop. Luckily truck was paying attention and honked and swerved around, while I rode off onto the shoulder. Then it restarted, ran for another minute and stalled again while trying to get back off the shoulder. I ended up letting it idle for 5 min before being able to merge successfully and get home. Online I have seen many people saying they have same or similar issues with their 2006 dodge vehicles as well. Please help to get this resolved as this could have very well killed someone.
My 2006 dodge charger rt stalls intermittently while I'm turning a corner on a city street or stopped at a red light. When it stalls, I do not have power steering. This is extremely dangerous because I could get hit. Sometimes it stalls more often after I fill up with gas. I do not overfill. I have been filing my gas tank the same way for 10 years and until october of 2016 it has never been a problem.
While sitting at the traffic light it cuts off. While driving, the vehicle cuts off. This has been going on since 2014. I have taken it to darcars hillcrest hgts and new carrollton but nothing has been done and they have yet to tell me what the problem is
Charger is stalling frequently. After filling up with gas. Stalled and went into some safe mode where it wouldn't go into second gear. Stalled on the highway, side roads and while making a turn. While making the turn it stalled in the middle of the intersection while a truck was coming at us. I had my son in the car and we were stranded in the road. We could have been killed!! I have read up on this and it seams to be a faulty sensor at the gas tank fill up. Why has this not been addressed? Sounds like you are waiting for someone to get killed before doing anything. Great company!!!
After filling up gas tank, vehicle will rapidly lose rpms and stall when stopped at lights or stop signs. I then put the vehicle in park and am able to restart it, but it will stall again while moving right after. This causes a loss of power steering which has almost caused me to crash multiple times. I only bought the car 12 days ago and it has done this multiple times. I have read the multiple other complaints, and have tried to fix the problem by replacing the PCM, but that did not work. Others have suggested replacing the gas tank because the stall could be caused by the vapor recovery system failing following refueling. I believe this issue is related to the federal safety agency action pe13016. The vehicle in its current condition is unsafe to drive as it will stall while moving and lose power steering. The problem first occurred on 11/7/16, and occurred again on 11/15/16, both times after I refueled. It will not occur if the gas is below 3/4 full. I replaced the PCM on 11/10/16, but that did not fix the problem.
My 2006 charger will stall and or jolt violently as soon as I leave the gas station, and it is only when I fill up my tank. After restarting the vehicle twice and driving a short while I do not have any problems, it only happens when I fill up my gas tank. I know that newer vehicle fuel tanks are designed not to be force filled due to the special evap system. I only fill the tank till the station pump nozzle clicks off, which is what I was told how to fill these newer vehicles. This problem has been going on for over several months, though I have not had any traffic accidents, I fear that this is an accident waiting to happen.
After filling the gas tank up car stalls within minutes on busy highway interstate and it fluids out where you are stuck in traffic I've had plenty of mechanics to look at the far and they cant detect the problem I need some assistance with this issue are I'm gonna end up causing a bad wreck with the issue of my car please contact me [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. The contact stated that the fuel tank could only be partially filled due to a leak. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Car randomly stalls, sometimes while stationary and sometimes while driving. Very dangerous.
Fuel system issue pertaining to lack of fuel to engine. There have been multiple occasions where the vehicle had hard starting and stalling, now the vehicle won't start. After investigating common issues (I.e., air, fuel, spark) it was determined that fuel was not traveling to the fuel rail at the engine. The fuel pump was replaced and the issue persisted. Currently the vehicle in non-operational due to the lack of fuel. I fell this issue is very similar to the federal safety agency pe13016 investigation where the determination was to replace the fuel tank as the integrated multifunction control valve (mfcv) was found to be defective. The manufacturer offered a lifetime warranty for the issue, however it was stated that the vehicles included in the extended warranty were equipped with the 5.7l and 6.1l 8-cylider engines. We find this inaccurate as our vehicle is equipped with the 3.5l 6-cylinder and is suspect to have the identical issues as stated in the all of the investigative documents for pe13016.
After filling my vehicle my car will stall and random intervals. Simply drive away from the gas station and the vehicle would stall so I'd start it and then continue to drive. This largely happened while I'm stationary so I wasn't very concerned until I had it stall while I was turning on to a street and almost got side swiped by an on coming car. This is extremely dangerous and should be dealt with by the company as they have acknowledged it as an issue and I have seen multiple people file complaints about this issue and nothing is being done. This in my opinion is more dangerous than the sir bag issue my vehicle has already had a recall for. Chrysler and dodge has acknowledge the issue and stated it's a valve I can't recall the name of the specific part and having to replace the gas tank.
After filling up gas tank drove off from gas station car stalled started car right back up drove some more and it stalled again started car right back up drove and once again car stalled this time I was in the middle of traffic very scary it almost caused me to get hit by other drivers , went online to see if anyone else has had this problem and found many other owners with the same issue with the exact same scenario, car is well maintained and runs great other then this issue
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge charger. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact found a recall related to the fuel tank. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer and the fuel tank was replaced; however, the vehicle began to slow down to approximately 35 MPH when reaching high speeds. Additionally, the rpms would continue to increase without the acceleration matching the RPM increase. The contact informed the manufacturer who opened a case on the contact's behalf and informed the contact that there was no recall relating to the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 86,000.
