IN THE 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T THE CAR WILL COMPLETELY TURN OFF IF THE GAS IS FULL OR CLOSE TO FULL. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE R/T MODEL. DODGE HAS KNOWN OF THIS ISSUE FOR YEARS AND ALSO THE DEALERSHIPS. AFTER FILLING THE TANK THE VEHICLE WILL TURN OFF IN TURN LOSING POWER STEERING BRAKES AND ENGINE POWER EVEN WHILE YOUR FOOT IS ON THE GAS PEDAL. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN INTO ACCIDENTS DUE TO THIS. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM AND DODGE REFUSES TO CALL A RECALL. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR WOULD STUMBLE, MISS AND START JERKING. WAS MAKING A 90 DEGREE RIGHT HAND TURN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE TURN, I HAD NO POWER STEERING NOR BRAKES. FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO ONCOMING CARS AS I ENDED UP ON THE WRONG SIDE OF THE STREET. CAR RESTARTED AND RAN A FEW FEET BEFORE THE STUMBLING, JERKING AND MISSING STARTED TO OCCUR ONCE AGAIN. AFTER READING UP ON THIS PROBLEM, I HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED, AS IT (THE TANK) HAD ALL OF THE SIGNS OF A BAD "ROLL-OVER" VALVE. THIS VALVE IS MOLDED INTO THE GAS TANK AND IS NON-REPLACEABLE. ONCE THE TANK WAS REPLACED, THE PROBLEM HAS GONE AWAY AND HAVE NOT HAD AN ISSUE SINCE. *TR

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FUELING VEHICLE TO REGULAR CAPACITY AND AUTOMATIC SHUTOFF - NO "TOPPING OFF". LEFT THE FILLING STATION AND THE CAR STALLED SEVERAL TIMES, EACH TIME IN A PRECARIOUS POSITION SUCH AS DECELERATING TO MAKE A TURN OR COMING TO A STOP AT A LIGHT. CAR DIES LOSING POWER STEERING AND BREAKS. THOUGHT THIS MIGHT BE BAD GAS BUT IT HAS SINCE REPEATED EVERY TIME THE CAR IS REFUELED. THIS IS BECOMING A SERIOUS SAFELY CONCERN AS THE CONDITION IS COMMON DURING THE FIRST 50 OR SO MILES OF DRIVING AFTER A FILL UP. UPON SPEAKING WITH THE DEALER THEY BLAMED THE ISSUE ON THE END USER OVERFILLING THE TANK. AS THE ONLY USER OF THE VEHICLE IT IS NEVER OVERFILLED NOR ?TOPPED OFF?. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED CAUSING ME TO LOSE POWER TO THE MOTOR AND POWER TO THE STEERING AND BRAKES. I HAD TO QUICKLY PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AS THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY AND I HAD NO POWER TO CONTROL MY CAR. THIS WAS A DANGEROUS SITUATION AND I FEAR IT MAY HAPPEN AGAIN. I HAVE READ ABOUT (DODGE CHARGER FORUM) MANY OTHER OWNERS OF SIMILAR VEHICLES THAT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS SHORTLY AFTER YOU FILL UP THE GAS TANK. I DID JUST FILL THE GAS TANK PRIOR TO MY CAR STALLING INCIDENT. I FEEL THIS IS A DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT DEVELOPS ON THIS VEHICLE AND IT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO IMMEDIATELY. *TR

AFTER FUELING UP, I PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND ONTO A MAIN ROAD. ABOUT 300YARDS FROM THE GAS STATION. I ACCELERATED TO APPROXIMATELY 40MPH, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION MY CAR "DINGED" THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON AND MY ENGINE SHUT DOWN. I LOST ALL ABILITY TO TURN, OR BREAK. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I FEARED FOR MY LIFE. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT IT WAS BECAUSE I LET THE FUEL LEVELS GET TOO LOW, AFTER, I REALIZED IF I FILL UP ALL THE WAY, THIS ALWAYS OCCURS. GOD FORBID IF I WERE TO BE ENTERING ON TO A FREEWAY AT A HIGHER RATE OF SPEED. SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME 3+ TIMES, I AM VERY SCARED AND NERVOUS TO DRIVE MY CAR. SOMETHING AS TO BE DONE. PLEASE, BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE THE GAS TANK AND EVAP CANISTER ARE SCREWY! I. ANT GET ANY DEALERSHIP OR MECHANIC TO FIX IT WITHOUT REPLACING THE WHOLE TANK,($$$$$$$). *TR

THIS ISSUE STARTED APPROX 3 WEEKS AGO. THE HEAD LIGHTS WILL NOT STAY ON THEY FLICKER OFF AND ON AS IF I WAS FLASHING MY LIGHTS TO ALERT ANOTHER DRIVER, WHEN THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING THIS ON ITS ON. THIS IS NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT I'M AFRAID I WILL GET PULLED OVER BY LAW OFFICIALS. AND MY JOB REQUIRES ME TO HAVE TO BE AT WORK AT NIGHT. THIS IS VERY DISTURBING WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND THEY STAY OFF AT TIMES FOR 30 TO 40 SECONDS AT A TIME AND I'M HAVING TO HOLD THE BRIGHT LIGHT ARM TO HAVE LIGHTS. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON FROM TIME TO TIME SAYING IT IS NOT ON, AND THERE ARE BRAKE ISSUES AS WELL. *TR

MINUTES AFTER FILLING MY TANK WITH GAS, I DROVE LESS THAN A MILE AND TURNED INTO A PARKING LOT. I WAS STILL DRIVING, AROUND 15 MPH, WHEN I HEARD A DING, AND IMMEDIATELY NOTICED A LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. I PRESSED THE BRAKE AND QUICKLY NOTICED A LOSS OF BRAKING AS WELL. IT WAS THEN I REALIZED THE CAR HAD STALLED WHILE I WAS STILL MOVING! THANKFULLY I HAD NO ONE AROUND AND WAS ON A STRAIGHT STRETCH WHERE I COULD SLOWLY COME TO A STOP, PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART. I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE, AND THE CAR PROCEEDED TO STALL OUT 2 MORE TIMES JUST SITTING THERE. THERE WAS NO WARNING SYMPTOMS AHEAD OF TIME - PERFECTLY SMOOTH IDLE AT THE CORRECT RPM, THEN IT JUST DROPS TO 0 AS IF THE KEY WERE TURNED OFF. I RAN INTO THE STORE FOR LESS THAN 2 MINUTES, CAME OUT AND DROVE HOME. I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY PROBLEMS SINCE THEN (THIS HAPPENED LESS THAN 24 HOURS AGO). THERE WERE NO CODES THROWN. I'VE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE '07 WHEN IT HAD 5K MILES ON IT. WITH A LITTLE OVER 88K MILES I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. NEEDLESS TO SAY IF THIS HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC IT WOULD BE HIGHLY DANGEROUS. NOTE: THIS IS A 2006 DAYTONA R/T. EARLY MANUFACTURE DATE OF 9/22/2005. *TR

DROVE TO A BUSINESS AND ONCE PLACED IN PARK, THE GEAR SHIFT BECAME STUCK. CALLED AAA, THEY WERE GOING TO TOW IT, THEN ANOTHER DRIVER SHOWED UP FOR AAA AND KNEW JUST WHAT TO DO. HE TAKES APART THE CASE THAT GOES AROUND THE GEAR SHIFT AND PRESSES ON A PINK COLORED EMERGENCY PARK RELEASE LEVER, ( WHY IS THAT EVEN AN OPTION??!!! ) IT WAS OBVIOUSLY NOT ATTACHED TO ANY THING AS IT FELL DOWN INTO THE SPACE AROUND THE SHIFTER AND STILL RESIDES THERE. THE DISCUSSION OF TOWING IT CAME UP AGAIN, THEN WE NOTICED A CABLE ATTACHED TO THE SHIFTER AND AFTER PLAYING WITH IT HAVE DEVELOPED A SYSTEM TO UNLATCH IT FROM PARK. YOU HAVE TO PULL THE CABLE TO THE LEFT WITH A PEN TO DISABLE THE GEAR SHIFT. TODAY I TOOK IT TO WHERE I BOUGHT IT AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP. THE DODGE DEALERSHIP KNEW JUST WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, BUT DENIES A RECALL ON THIS. I AM SCHEDULED TO HAVE IT FIXED MONDAY THE 12TH. I DON'T FEEL I SHOULD HAVE TO KEEP PAYING FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT, THIS CAR HAS BEEN A DISASTER SINCE I BOUGHT IT. THE FRONT END HAS BEEN FIXED ABOUT 4 TIMES FOR VIGOROUSLY SHAKING AND A GOD AWFUL RATTLING NOISE ( GOES AWAY FOR A SHORT TIME THEN RETURNS SHORTLY AFTER BEING FIXED!!), NUMEROUS TIRES HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BECAUSE THAT MUST BE THE PROBLEM TOO ( OUT OF THE MOUTHS OF THE DEALERSHIP), THE TIRE PRESSURE LIGHT STAYS ON, THE ABS LIGHT SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS AND HAS LEFT ME WITH A NO BRAKE SENSATION ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS. I HAVE ALWAYS OWNED DODGES, BUT NEXT TIME I PURCHASE A VEHICLE IT WONT BE A DODGE. *TR
