  • Recall 2016265 [Canada]: Airbag
    On certain vehicles, long-term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature, combined with high temperature cycling, could eventually degrade the propellant contained in the passenger frontal airbag. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. As a result, if the vehicle were involved in a collision that warrants airbag deployment, fragments could be propelled toward vehicle occupants, and the airbag assembly could be damaged, preventing proper function. These issues could increase the risk of injury. Correction: dealers will replace the airbag inflator. Note: canadian climate results in the propellant degrading slowly. The recall is being conducted as a precaution to address future risk, and is expected to replace airbag inflators before their function would be affected.

  • Recall 2015228 [Canada]: Airbag
    On certain vehicles, the driver frontal airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant. Note: this recall supersedes special service campaign 2015-003. Correction: dealers will replace airbag inflators. All vehicles having received a replacement inflator as part of the previous special service campaign will have a replacement inflator installed.

  • Recall 2015093 [Canada]: Airbag
    Fiat chrysler automobiles (fca) canada is conducting a voluntary safety improvement program involving takata driver and/or passenger airbag inflators installed in certain vehicles that were originally sold or ever registered in certain high humidity areas of the united states.

Known Recall Investigations
  • Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20210917

    From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

  • Air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20150224

    The office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe14-016 in june 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers.All six vehicles were operated in florida or puerto rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.During the course of pe14-016, odi determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers.Nonetheless, at odis insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation.The regions recalled initially included florida, puerto rico, hawaii, and the u.S. Virgin islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures.As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to takata for testing.Takatas initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from florida.Accordingly odi requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the gulf states and other coastal areas.Takatas testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions.During pe14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.Also during pe14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically california and north carolina.Accordingly, odi requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls.Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity.Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing.All test ruptures reported by takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time.Odis investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.The five odi reports cited above can be reviewed online at http://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/owners/searchnhtsaid under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492

  • Engine stall investigation as of 20130509

    During pe13-016, chrysler identified a condition in model year (my) 2005 through 2006 chrysler 300, dodge charger and magnum vehicles equipped with 5.7l and 6.1l 8-cylinder hemi engines that may result in engine stall after refueling when the vehicle is stopped or travelling at low speeds. According to chrysler, the multifunction control valve (mfcv) fuel shutoff float integrated into 19-gallon fuel tanks can swell in a stuck open position allowing an overfill condition.This condition causes fuel to enter into the purge line which may result in engine stall after refueling.Chryslers investigation determined that the problem was related to dimensional changes/swelling of the float when exposed to fuels with high ethanol content.Chrysler and its supplier, stant, developed new fuel soak test requirements to address the condition and extended the warranty period on 19-gallon fuel tanks to lifetime coverage.The owner letter mailing began in january 2014.See the investigative file for copies of chryslers owner letter.The office of defects investigation (odi) analyzed 1262 complaints related to engine stall that were provided by chrysler or submitted to odi from consumers.In total, there were 299 unique reports indicating that the fuel system allowed an overfill condition after refueling, and the predominant failure mode identified involved stalling when stopped or travelling at low speeds.The complaint counts shown in this resume include incidents in which enough detail was available to verify the symptoms were related to the defect condition identified by chrysler.The condition that is causing the majority of stalling incidents in the subject vehicles occurs at a stop or low speed and allows the vehicle to be restarted immediately.The condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by chryslers extended warranty. This preliminary evaluation is closed.

Out of no where my car started stalling on me, took it to a mechanic, cleaned ground wires, changed o2 sensor, cleaned throttle body everything looks and sounds good, but the car stalls, while i'm driving, as well as at a stop, sometimes it completely shuts off and i loose all control including power steering, and sometimes just cuts off for half a second and turns itself back on, iv seen a lot of posts about the gas tank overfilling problem, as well as a ignition switch problem with these cars, i called the dealer but they said they can't address it since my vin isn't reported for those recalls. My car is unsafe to drive right now and i don't know why but there's reports of manufacturer faults.

In that split second that it shuts off, the car loses power completely and no brakes or power steering. This is extremely dangerous, and dodge should issue a recall immediately to fix this issue.

My 2006 dodge charger has been hesitating and dying immediately after filling up my fuel tank, every time. This has been an ongoing problem as of the last 6 months. I've read in multiple online dodge forums that this has to do with a faulty 'evaporation valve' in the fuel tank and that there are many 2006 dodge owners who have encountered the exact same problem. There are no codes in the vehicle's computer & the dealership has not taken ownership of the problem created by their design & created a recall of the gas tank or 'evaporation valve'. I was directed to this website to notify you of this problem in hopes of alerting dodge of the issue. It is extremely dangerous. In the event that this happens in traffic or while turning in an intersection, the vehicle may easily become uncontrollable, as all power steering & power brakes are rendered useless.

After filling fuel to proper level the vehicle shakes and as car continues to drive at normal speeds car shuts down and loses steering and power. This may be related to the fuel tank issue these have with the built in valves. The fuel pump works just fine so i know its not that. Again symptoms only happen when filling the gas tank to full which is the proper level. I don't understand why this car was not recalled along with the rest. Although i'm starting to be really hesitant of ever buying any dodge or chrysler vehicle again.

Pcm shuts down briefly without warning at seemingly random times, although this seems to be more common when accelerating from stationary such as at a stoplight. Sometimes the outrage is extremely short and there is a ding from the instrument cluster, sometimes it is longer with one or more warning lights illuminate briefly including the electronic throttle, and sometimes the cel will illuminate. Outage never seems to last more than a fraction of a second. If the cel comes on the code is U0100 lost comm. W/pcm. If speed is above about 15 mph the engine doesn't actually stop, there's just a big jolt, as if they hey had been turned off and then rapidly back on. At slower speeds the engine stops and must be restarted with the key. This has resulted in near accidents when pulling into traffic and suddenly stopping. Dealer had the car for a week, at first couldn't duplicate but when it did happen they couldn't diagnose. They reprogrammed the tcm and changed the transmission fluid and filter (which were due anyway) and replaced the battery for lack of any better ideas. This problem can go a week or two without happening or happen 10 times in 3 days. I added a recording voltmeter to monitor key voltages in and out of the pcm (measured and recorded approximately 20 times per second) and this showed the first sign of trouble is the auto shutdown relay control voltage out of the pcm going to zero while the battery voltage and keyswitch 'run' voltages both remained high(~14.2 volts). I replaced the pcm with a refurbished one (could not locate a new replacement) and the problem was not observed for two months, but then resumed.

The ignition will only turn from 'off' to 'a/c' and finally to 'on' but it will not turn any further to 'start'. This means the engine can not be started.

My vehicle stalls after i fuel it. I googled it and saw that similar chargers (2006 rts with 5.7 liter engines) were part of a recall. I called the chrysler recall center and they said my vin was not included on the lifetime replacement /fix for this issue. They told me that the issue was 'vin specific'. My car does all of the same things that the recalled vehicles do - it stalls at low speeds and when stopped at traffic lights right after i fuel it.

However just today i had the same problem after accidentally filling it. I do not top off the car when filling once the nozzle clicks off i stop. Today after getting gas i went to pull out into traffic and the car stalled. The power steering would not work the engine shut off and i was stranded halfway out into the lane of oncoming traffic. I put the car in park and restarted it and drove about 20 feet before it shut off again. This is a huge safety issue. I thought i was going to be hit.

Car will shut off going 45 mph, at a stop light (0 mph) or when crossing traffic intersections for examples (at most going 10 or 15 mph). I will attempt to restart and the car will start up, stall up and then shut off again - when this happens, i lose power steering. I have to switch gears from drive to park and then turn the car off and then on again in hopes it will start. As you're driving, you can feel when the car is about to cut off, it throttles ahead a bit and revs, then the car beeps and turns off, while the gear is in drive and turning my wheel does nothing. I notice that this issue would usually happen after a fill up my gas tank, so i started only filling up halfway ,but the issue still persists. This issue became heavily frequent yesterday where the car stalled and cut off at least 4 different times while making a 7 mile drive back home. This was very very scary in my eyes, especially with a passenger in my seat. This is a huge safety concern because the vehicle is shutting off while in motion and powering steering is lost. If this happens on the highway going 60+ miles per hour, or turning into oncoming traffic, there is a guaranteed accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. I believe there is an issue with the gas tank and the evap canister that causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling the engine, which shuts off the car. This was filed under nhtsa pe13-016 (which appears to be closed or inaccessible- https://www-odi.Nhtsa.Dot.Gov/acms/cs/documentlist.Xhtml?Docid=pe13016&doctype=inv).

Car stalls without warning at stoplights as well as on the road. If if the car is moving the engine will usually catch and restart but due to the way the transmission operates, there is a period of time before the transmission reengages so the car acts as if it is in neutral which is extremely dangerous and has caused many close calls with conflicting traffic at intersections. A quick search on google will show this is a chronic problem with these cars and there is no known root cause and dodge has not done anything to investigate the root cause. As a result it has been left to the owner to spend potentially thousands of dollars for parts swapping to troubleshoot the problem but with little success. In most cases the problem is never resolved or simply returns shortly after being "fixed" by the dealer. Note: this is not related to the gas tank issue which has similar symptoms. I have replaced the gas tank in my car hoping it would resolve the problem but it did not.

I was in line at tim horton's, i had ordered, but not yet paid. I had my foot on the brake (car was stationary), and the as the car in front of me moved up, i depressed the brake to roll the car forward. The car began accelerating on it's own. With my foot still on the brake, i pushed the brake to the floor at which point the abs struggled to slow the acceleration down. The result of the incident is my car only came to a stop once i hit the car in front of me. I looked down once the car stopped moving and clearly only saw my foot on the brake with the brake pressed all the way to the floor. Luckily the only real damage was some flaked paint on the front of my car. The other car, as well as myself decided the issue was not worth reporting to the insurance companies. I immediately called my dad, who told me to call the dealer. I then called the dealer whom said do not drive the car, and get the car towed to them for diagnosis. The car was towed to the dodge/jeep dealership in which i bought the car in 2007. This issue has never happened before, in the 11 years i've owned the car.

While driving the car loses power and slows down, the engine is running rough and when pulled over the side of the road, the car will not move at all. The shifter will move through the gears however the car will not move(automatic transmission). After turning the vehicle off and restarting the car runs normal until the next episode( occurred the last 3 times car has been driven). This is hazardous especially in traffic.

After dropping my daughter at school that day in my car, i went home and parked the vehicle in my driveway. When i went to pick her up that afternoon my car would not turn over. It never left my driveway before it was towed to a mechanic. Dodge hemi 5.7 l are notorious for premature engine failure due to a manufacturing defect. The valve seat drops into the piston causing catastrophic and sudden engine failure. The reason for my complaint has nothing to do with the cost involved to replace my transportation. The damage has been said and done. The reason for this complaint is the thought that my car's engine happened to fail minutes before my daughter was in the car. Honestly, if the engine failure would have happened while the car was in motion, whether it be it in a 20 mph school zone or on the freeway at 70 mph to her favorite store to get a treat after school; i probably would've not known what to do. This defect could have very well caused a wreck hurting me my eight-year-old daughter and possibly other people. I truly just don't want this to happen to someones little girl or anybody. Can you please research and investigate this problem before someone is killed or hurt? It's just not right and dodge is holding no responsibility. Thank you for your time.

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.

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.

2006 dodge charger daytona r/t 5.7 hemi valve seat dropped at 144k miles. Always dealer serviced. Always on schedule, plugs, oil air filter everything. Issue leading up to it was random multiple cylinder misfire stemming from faulty water temp sensor, which was fixed. Dropped valve seat when briefly turning of vehicle after dropping family home prior to going to work. Motor needs to be replaced. Just prior to failure spent around $4k to make sure the car was running perfect. Mechanic had told me the car was in perfect running order and compression was like it was almost brand new. Engine should have easily made it to 250k miles. Contacted chrysler who pretty much lied and told me this was not a common occurrence. Dealer was not willing to help me towards the repair. If this valve seat dropped 30 seconds earlier, it would have locked up in the middle of the freeway putting the lives of my family and myself at risk. This is a widespread and known issue and chrysler is not doing anything about it. This is a disgrace.

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.

Vehicle was parked in drivieway, partially blocking in other vehicles in garage, and automatic transmission shifter could not be moved out of park on the morning of 6/29/17, stranding vehicle from being moved by owner. I then looked online using google search and found problem listed under chrysler recall of some 2005-2007 charger/magnum/300 models, and found instructions on how to temporarily insert screwdriver into side of transmission shift lever assembly by removing one piece of trim, and was able to then drive over to darcars chrysler/jeep/dodge rockville, maryland dealership to drop for recall repair. I left vehicle and then was told by service dept staff next day on 6/30/17 that my vin number was not part of recall, and would cost me $510 out of pocket to replace the entire transmission shifter assembly rather than replace the small cheap plastic known chrysler defect that has probably already happened to thousands of chargers/magnums/300s. Lucky for me this did not happen in an emergency situaiton where i needed to move my car immediately to go to hospital, or avoid a flash fllood, hurricane, or tornado or the problem could have resulted in a total loss of the vehicle and possible injury or loss of life. In addition, i did more research and found the $16 part online needed to fix the problem, along with many videos on how to fix it yourself, and ordered it on 6/30/17 and had the car repaired myself at home on 7/2/17 a few hours after receiving the part in the mail. Chrysler should make this a recall for all affectred vehicles because the cost to repair it in parts and labor is very cheap, since i estimate they could do the same job in about 30 minutes and the part would only cost them maybe under $5.

My 2006 dodge charger hemi police interceptor i purchased from the state of oregon at 137,000 randomly dies. The lightning bolt warning light comes on. The electronic throttle control code comes on. The car has been to the dealer and the pcm $750 has been replaced and the plugs $350 have been replaced as well. I also get tcm codes. My car has died at very dangerous times, when passing or merging into traffic. The dealer doesn't know what's causing it.

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.

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.

Takata recall fca has yet to repair my airbag inflators as of 19 march 2017 in response to takata passenger airbag recall s43 issued on 26 may 2016. This is an unacceptable amount of time to wait given the severity of the issue.

Takata recall the suspension is shot. I am having to replace the my tires due to the bushings being junk and have ate my tires away on the inside down to the metal due to the toe positioning being incorrect. The control arms have been changed, but i am in fear the rear camber may be completely out. Also, sometimes my car does not want to turn over, but yet the battery, starter and alternator are fine. Also, my electrical system is a mess. I can't roll down my window unless i shut off my air or heat. Then when i turn on my air or heat all my interior lights go out. Plus, sometimes my tachometer doesn't want to work. I have replaced the engine and transmission, it is always maintained, but yet i feel like i am about to have to dump thousands of dollars into this cheaply made suspension. I have seen several charger owners of the same year stating they have had these issues and if a recall can not be done then a class action lawsuit should be put into motion. I'm hoping dodge will give us a chance to keep their customers, because at this morning i am ready to give up. I have always been a dodge fan, but this time, on my favorite looking car, you all have dropped the ball!

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.

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.

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.

The vehicle will stall at a stop sign or stop light. The lights will flicker and the gauges will go to the max amounts and then back to zero. The car restarts and runs fine after this happens, but it keeps reoccurring.

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.

Car shuts down completely while driving. Check engine light comes on along with a red lighting bolt. Went to dodge dealership & they ran diagnostics no code came up. They did replace fuel tank from a previous recall. Got car back & immediately stalled again. Carried car back & they ran diagnostic while driving & code came up to replace computer. Replaced & programmed computer & car is still doing it. Dodge states that they do not know what the problem is.

Drove the car to get a car wash. Car went through the cleaning process and they were going to start to the car and it wouldn't start. Had to have it pushed to the side of the building, after a while the car started but idled very rough and blueish smoke was coming out of the exhaust pipes. Took it to a mechanic and they said it's a blown head gasket along with valves dropping into the cylinder causing engine failure. No pre warning and i was very religious with maintenance. This is a known issue that should be fixed by dodge. Now i need to buy a new car.

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 ?? *tr

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? *tr

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.
