2006
FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ON 10/30/13 MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER STALLED ON A MAJOR STREET WITHOUT ANY WARNING. I HAD JUST FILLED THE GAS TANK AND WAS DRIVING BACK TO WORK. I HAD REACHED A SPEED SOMEWHERE BETWEEN 40-50 WHEN THE CAR JUST STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AND PULL INTO A NEARBY PARKING LOT AND SHUT IT OFF. I WAS SHAKEN BY THE EVENT, AFTER COLLECTING MY THOUGHTS I TRIED TO RE-START THE CAR THINKING IF I LET IT IDLE FOR A BIT IT MIGHT BE ALRIGHT. THE CAR RAN MOMENTARILY THEN SORT OF CHOKED AND JOLTED THEN DIED. I TRIED ONCE MORE BUT TO NO AVAIL THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY CALLED THE FOLLOWING DAY STATING THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND WE COULD PICK IT UP. THIS SAME SCENARIO HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE ABOUT THIS SAME TIME LAST YEAR ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS. STALLING SEVERAL TIMES AT VARIOUS SPEEDS IN BOTH INCIDENCES. EVERY TIME THIS HAPPENS I HAVE JUST FILLED THE TANK USING PREMIUM FUEL. I SPOKE WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND HE DIDN'T SEEM TO BE AWARE OF A PROBLEM. I TOLD HIM THERE ARE CURRENTLY 54 CLAIMS ALL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND THERE DEFINITELY IS A PROBLEM AND I PRAY THAT SOMEONE FINDS A SOLUTION BEFORE SOME IS SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED. I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE IN MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER. *TR
2007
ENGINE
WITHIN A YEAR OR SO OF FIRST PURCHASING THE CAR (2007) I NOTICED IT WOULD FEEL LIKE SOMEONE HIT ME FROM BEHIND AS I GOT OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WAS WAITING FOR A LIGHT. I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS WAS THE ENGINE "BUMPING" TO KEEP IT FROM STALLING. I WOULD EITHER GIVE IT GAS OR PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND IT WOULD BE OK. WITHIN THE LAST YEAR THE CAR HAS ACTUALLY STALLED ON ME AT THE LIGHTS. I NOTICED THIS MOSTLY AFTER DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70-75 MPH FOR MY 20 MIN DRIVE TO WORK AND AS I SLOWING DOWN TO GET OFF THE EXIT IT SEEMS TO "BUMP" AND NOW "STALL". I HAVE HAD THE CAR STALL THREE TIMES IN A ROW ON A SINGLE INSTANCE RECENTLY WITH THE THIRD TIME IT FINALLY CAUGHT AND DID NOT STALL, BUT I FEARED IT WOULD NOT START AT ALL. I HAVE HAD AN INSTANCE RECENTLY OF THE CAR STALLING WHILE AT LOW SPEEDS (10-20 MPH) AS I'M SLOWING DOWN. ALL OTHER TIMES WERE AT AN ACTUAL STOP. RECENTLY THE CAR STALLED AND IT TOOK 2 TIMES TO GET IT TO RESTART AND WHEN IT RESTARTED IT WOULD NOT IMMEDIATELY GO INTO GEAR, EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS IN "DRIVE". MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING FOR THIS TIME AND ALTHOUGH I AM PRIMARY DRIVER, HE HAS EXPERIENCED THE "BUMPS" OVER THE YEARS. IN THIS LAST INSTANCE THE CAR HAD BEEN ON A BACK ROAD AND WHILE STILL ONLY DRIVING ABOUT 20-30 MINS THE SPEED WAS NEVER HIGHER THAN 45-50 MPH. *TR
