shuts off while driving with no warning...Stalls at stop light/sign and when i try to accelerate it has barely goes.. sometimes it seems like it has no power at all and sometimes it seems like it has to much power without me accelerating. Its very dangerous this issue has almost made me get into several accidents
Filled fuel tank up until the pump shut off. As I drove onto the road, the engine suddenly died causing me to run off the shoulder as the power steering went out as well. I eventually got it re-started, but it ran rough and stalled out several more times on my way home. After some online research, I determined that it was probably raw gas getting pulled down the EVAP tube. I avoid the problem now by not filling the tank up all the way, but do it once in a while accidently and the problem returns. Highly dangerous situation.
SERVICE BULLETIN # 14-002-14: Fuel tank "roll over" valve failed immediately after fill-up saturating the purge solenoid and dryer canister for the fuel vapor vent reburning system. This service bulletin described failure caused liquid fuel rather than vapor to be dumped into the intake manifold stalling the vehicle in traffic in unsafe conditions. The car was towed to Beamon Dodge at 1705 S. Church St., 37130 awaiting repair. Dodge customer service was contacted at 1-800-423-6343 where they stated that this VIN was not covered by the service bulletin. Quoted repair for the manufacture defect is $4,680.48. Clearly the vehicles covered by this service bulletin are incomplete. Complaints of this failure can be found on the internet through 2014 when this service bulletin was issued on April 22, 2014. Clearly Dodge corrected nothing in their manufacturing and NHTSA is not protecting all consumers.
Fuel leak at filler neck to fuel tank at fuel tank
Our 2007 charger is having the same issues with overfill and stalling after the car is filled full with gas. Dodge recalled the 2005-2006 charger tanks, but our 2007 has the same issue.
Gas tabk/evap system reads inaccurate fuel level and does not let me fill tank
WHEN DRIVING AROUND TOWN, COME TO STOP AND CAR BEGINS TO STALL OUT.
MY VEHICLE BEGINS TO STALL OUT AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE IDLING. WHILE SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT OR JUST WAITING FOR THE TRAFFIC LIGHT TO CHANGE. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AT GWINNETTE CHRYSLER STONE MOUNTAIN GEORGIA AND THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED TO BE THE FUEL TANK NEEDING REPLACEMENT AFTER PAYING 3000.00 DOLLARS FOR REPAIRS THAT DID NOT RESOLVE THE ISSUE. I WAS THEN GIVEN A FINAL DIAGNOSIS THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS THE ISSUE AND IT WAS GOING TO COST 4500.00 TO REPLACE. TODAY IS APRIL 1 AND I JUST PICKED UP MY VEHICLE AFTER IT WAS SITTING IN THE DEALERSHIP FOR ALMOST 1 MONTH AND STILL THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. PLEASE HELP ME. MY VEHICLE IS SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY WITH A CAR COVER BECAUSE I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. [XXX]. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
I PURCHASED THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO WITH THE TITLE, JUST HAVING IT AT MY PARENTS HOUSE BECAUSE I HAVE ANOTHER CAR. I DROVE IT BACK TO MEMPHIS ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT JERKED, CUT THE CAR OFF TURN IT BACK ON IT DRIVES NO MORE THAN 30 MPH. GOT A READING AT 2 DIFFERENT AUTO ZONES, AND GOT A TUNE UP, OIL CHANGE, AND WIRE COILS THAT GO WITH THE CAR. STILL THE SAME PROBLEM. SO I DRIVE THE CAR BACK TO MY PARENTS HOUSE A HOUR AWAY FROM MEMPHIS AND IT'S GOING SLOW, SO OF COURSE LAW ENFORCEMENT HAD SOME QUESTIONS THAT ALMOST ALLOWED ME TO GET THE CAR TOWED AT THE TIMES WITH THE CORONAVIRUS GOING ON AS WELL.. SO, AFTER I GET MY SLOW CAR OUT THE IMPOUND, I LOOKED ON CARS.COM AND I SEE A PREVIOUS RECALL ON MY CAR THAT I DIDN'T SEE AT THE TIME OR PURCHASE OR HAD ANY IDEA OF, THAT MIGHT BE A LITTLE TO LATE TO FIX EVEN THOUGH THESE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS I'M HAVING AT THIS PRESENT MOMENT. MY CAR JERKS BACK WHEN TRYING TO PUT IT IN THE REVERSE OR DRIVE. SO, I GO BACK TO AUTOZONE, IN THE LITTLE TOWN BECAUSE NOW I'M AFRAID TO MOVE MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE DANGER IT'S IN. AUTOZOBE DON'T WANT TO DO THE READING SO I DO IT MYSELF BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO GET INTO PEOPLE CARS AT THIS TIME. SO, KEEP IN MIND I'VE GOT THE WORK DONE TO THE CAR AND I'M COMING BACK TO CONFIRM THAT I DID DO THOSE THINGS. THE MAN WHO WORKED AT AUTOZONE TOLD ME IT WAS SOMETHING WITH MY WIRING, AND TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THEY CANNOT FIND THE PART NEEDED IN THE STORE I SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES THE SCREEN TURN BLANK. TOOK IT TO DODGE, THEY JUST REPLACE THE AIR BAGS, AND OF COURSE OFFER TO MAKE ME SPEND MONEY. I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE PREVIOUS RECALL ON MY CAR AND NO ONE HELPED EVEN THOUGH THERE IS A MAXIMUM 10 YEARS. BUT IF THESE CARS ARE STILL SELLING AND BEING USED THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY TIME FRAME FOR THE PROBLEM TO BE FIXED BECAUSE THE CAR IS NOW UNSAFE AND UNUSABLE, AND THE OWNER OUT OF MONEY.
2007 DODGE CHARGER 5.7 170,000+ MILES STALLING IMMEDIATELY OR SHORTLY AFTER FUELING WITHOUT WARNING WHILE IN DRIVE. IDENTICAL TO SAME ISSUES IN THE 2006 MODELS. CAR IS IN MOTION EACH TIME IT HAS STALLED ON CITY STREETS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. CAR THREW EVAP CANISTER CODES. COMPONENTS WERE REPAIRED BUT CAR CONTINUED TO STALL AFTER EVER FULL TANK OF GAS. CAR THREW EVAP LEAK CODE. NO LEAKS FOUND. FUEL PUMP WAS CHECKED AND TANK CHECKED FOR OVER FLOW. NO LEAKS. NO GAS SMELL. FUEL PUMP AND EVAP SYSTEM RULED OUT AS CAUSE. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO BE WITH THE TANK ITSELF.
MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T WITH THE 5.7L HEMI STALLS WHILE DRIVING AFTER REFUELING AT A GAS STATION. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS DUE TO IT STALLING WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. *TR
PROBLEM #1: ONE OF THE COOLING FAN BLADES SHEERED OFF AND & FLEW INTO THE RADIATOR. I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AND BROKE OFF WHEN I STARTED TO ACCELERATE. I REPLACED THE BROKEN BLADE (DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO REPLACE BOTH) AND RADIATOR. ABOUT A YEAR OR LESS LATER THE OTHER FAN BLADE SHEERED OFF (THE ONE I DIDN'T REPLACE) AND WENT INTO THE RADIATOR. THIS TIME ALSO DURING ACCELERATING AFTER A COMPLETE STOP. DEJA VU. THIS TIME I HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE FAN ASSEMBLY (BECAUSE THE BLADES WERE ON BACKORDER) AND RADIATOR. WHEN I WENT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SAME BLADES BUT ONLY THE 2006 MODEL. PROBLEM #2: IT IS NOW LOOSING PROPULSION. THE POWER STAYS ON IT JUST STOPS MOVING FORWARD. I CAN PUT IT IN PARK & THEN BACK IN GEAR AND IT MOVES, BUT BARELY. IT ISN'T CONSISTENT BUT IT IS TERRIFYING. I HAVE GOOGLED POSSIBLE ISSUES AND IT SEEMS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE LINKED IT TO A BAD PCM. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC BUT OF COURSE IT DIDN'T DO IT WHILE HE HAD IT. I HAVE BEEN TOLD, BY DODGE, THAT THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES THAT CAN DO A FULL DIAGNOSTIC, THAT OTHER DEVICES ONLY COVER ABOUT 30% OF THE PROGRAM. THAT ALONE SEEMS UNFAIR IF NOT ILLEGAL. I CANNOT AFFORD $110 JUST TO FIND OUT WHAT'S WRONG. MY TRUNK LIGHT DOESN'T WORK EITHER & EVEN DODGE CAN'T FIND OUT WHY. IT'S NOT THE BULB, IT'S NOT THE FUSE, AND THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTION IS GOOD. ACCORDING TO THEM. I HAVE MORE IMAGES AND RECEIPTS BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO ATTACH THEM.
THE CAR STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF FREEWAY IT MOVES IN MOTION WITHOUT FEET ON GAS
AS I'M DRIVING DOWN THE FREEWAY IN THE FAST LANE THE VEHICLE STALLS. I'M ABLE TO MANEUVER ACROSS ALL THREE LANES OF TRAFFIC TO GET ON THE SHOULDER AND CALL AAA ROADSIDE. WHEN THE TOW TRUCK GETS TO MY LOCATION HE PUTS 2 GALLONS OF GAS IN MY TANK AND THE VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT UP. MEANWHILE THE GAS GAUGE IS SHOWING A QUARTER TANK. AFTER LOOKING UP IF THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ANYONE ELSE I CAME ACROSS NUMEROUS ONLINE POSTS STATING THAT THE SAME THING HAS HAPPENED TO THEM AS WELL. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS IT CAN RESULT IN A VERY BAD ACCIDENT FROM LOSING POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES AS A RESULT OF THE ENGINE STALLING OUT FROM FUEL STARVATION AND THE GAS GAUGE SHOWING A QUARTER TANK.
ENGINE TURNS OFF WHEN IDLING SUCH AS WHEN STOPPED AT A "STOP SIGN" OR "TRAFFIC LIGHT". AUTO DEALERSHIP REPLACED BOTH FUEL PUMPS AND HAVE CLEANED THROTTLE HOUSING BUT PROBLEM CONTINUES.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE SPARK PLUGS NEEDED TO BE CHANGED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE MECHANIC THEN STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.
IT IS A KNOW PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER'S AND DODGE'S. PLASTIC SHIFT LEVER RELEASE BREAKS WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW THE CAR TO COME OUT OF PARK. SOME CARS WERE RECALLED OTHERS WITH THE EXACT SAME PART WERE NOT. MINE WAS ONE OF THE CARS NOT RECALLED. SEARCH THE WEB FOR "DODGE CAR STUCK IN PARK". THERE ARE 1000'S OF COMMENTS AND POSTS ABOUT THIS DEFECTIVE PART. *TR
AFTER FILLING UP AT A GAS STATION, THE CAR STARTED STUTTERING AND LATER ON STALLED AT A RED LIGHT IN THE CITY. HAS BECOME THIS WAY ONLY AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK COMPLETELY, IT WILL STUTTER AND SOMETIMES STALL AT COMPLETE STOPS. I HAVE STOPPED FROM FILLING UP COMPLETELY TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM FOR APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS NOW. IT IS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER RT RWD. *TR
2007 POLICE PACKAGE DODGE CHARGER WAS INVOLVED IN A VEHICLE PURSUIT OF A SUSPECTED INTOXICATED DRIVER. AS CHARGER PROCEEDED THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, IT WAS INVOLVED IN A MULTI-VEHICLE COLLISION RESULTING IN A VEHICLE FIRE. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS THE "CHECK ENGINE" WARNING LIGHT INDICATOR ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE ENGINE STALLED AND FAILED TO RESTART. THE FAILURES OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. IN ADDITION, WHENEVER DISPENSING FUEL TO THE FULL CAPACITY LEVEL AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF FUEL SPILLED FROM THE TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHO STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUEL PUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTIONS. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 70,000. UPDATED 03/09/10.*LJ THE FUEL PUMP WIRING MELTED. UPDATED 06/01/10.*JB
I PURCHASED MY 2007 DODGE CHARGER SE ON FEB 17 2009. I HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE INCLUDING THE AIRBAG LIGHT BEING ON WHICH THEY FIXED BY RECALIBRATING THE UNIT. THE LEFT WASHER FLUID MODULE HAD TO BE REPLACED AND THE PASSENGER HEADLIGHT HAD CONDENSATION THAT WAS POORLY REPAIRED BY PLACING SILCONE AROUND MY HEADLIGHT. THE SHOP ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAD TO RECALIBRATE THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT WAS SLIPPING AND WAS CAUSING MY SPEEDOMETER TO DROP TO 0 BUT THE RPM WOULD NEVER MOVE AND THE CAR WOULD NOT LOSE POWER. ON MARCH 7 I DROVE 90 MILES AWAY FROM HOME WHEN I EXITED MY VEHICLE AND GOT ABOUT 10 FEET AWAY THE CAR EXPLODED IN FLAMES. THE CAR DROVE BEAUTIFULLY THE ENTIRE TRIP NEVER HESITATED AND NEVER OVERHEATED, NEVER INDICATED ANY KIND OF PROBLEM!!!! THE ENTIRE FRONT OF MY CAR TO THE DASH WAS COMPLETELY MELTED WITHIN 5 MINUTES OF THE CAR EXPLODING. LUCKILY I DID NOT HAVE MY CHILDREN WITH ME AND I WAS NOT IN HOME AS I PARK MY NEW VEHICLE IN THE GARAGE, I WOULD HAVE LOST EVERYTHING I OWN. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO BUST OUT THE REAR WINDOW TO GET MY PURSE BECAUSE THE ONLY KEY HOLE IS IN THE FRONT DOOR AND THE FOB WOULD NOT WORK TO UNLOCK THE CAR. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD!!! IF MY 2 SMALL CHILDREN HAD BEEN IN THE CAR I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM OUT IN TIME BECAUSE OF HOW FAST THE CAR EXPLODED!!! THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM UNDER THE HOOD. THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM 2 WEEKS AGO TOLD ME TO GO '!@#$%MYSELF AND DEAL WITH MY INSURANCE COMPANY THAT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THEM. PLEASE IF YOU HAVE THIS CAR OR ARE CONSIDERING BUYING THIS CAR PLEASE PLEASE DON'T DO IT!!!! *TR
IN JULY 2007 I PURCHASED A 07 DODGE CHARGER. IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP 20+ TIMES IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THE SPEDOMETER FLUCTUATES FROM 60 TO 40 MPH WHEN IN CRUISE CONTROL AND FEELS LIKE IT IS GOING TO STALL WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE HAS ODD LITTLE SHAKES AND SHIMMYS. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WONT STAY OFF FOR MORE THEN 5 DAYS. THE REMOTE ENTRY WONT WORK ALL THE TIME EVEN IF I'M STANDING RIGHT NEXT TO THE VEHICLE. THERE HAS BEEN A NEW FUEL EXTRACTOR PUT INTO THIS VEHICLE. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
