Turning onto on-ramp of a highway i was moving about 20 miles an hour when the engine died and i lost power steering. Additionally, i felt a very tough transmission shift 2-3 seconds before i lost power steering and when the engine died. The car took multiple attempts to turn over. A very loud whirring noise began in the engine/transmission area and is yet to stop.

After filling up with fuel my charger will stall. It has happened 5 or 6 separate occasions over the past 2 years. I generally do not fill the car up all the way because of this. 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…

The vehicle stalls while driving, no matter the speed, and the power steering goes out when vehicle stalls preventing me from being able to steer the vehicle. This has happened several times, even on the interstate with other fast moving vehicles behind me, and is very dangerous. I have had different parts replaced trying to fix the problem, and was told the entire fuel tank will have to be replaced to solve the…

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…

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…

When merging onto the freeway upon slight acceleration the engine died, in front of a semi truck! We had no power steering or brakes! This is a huge safety issue!! We were lucky to not have crashed. I then turned key to off and restarted to resolve the issue. This has happened 6 more times at lower speeds i.e. 15mph, 20, 30 mph ranges, with no check engine light!? Brought it into mechanic and they couldn't find the…

My 2006 dodge charger has began to stall after a gas fill-up. It is very scary because it does not matter how fast you are driving. I had it stall about 5 times after filling up today. One in which i was going 40 mph. The steering wheel locks up and it is very dangerous. I am very concerned for the safety if myself and family. *tr

This incident started occurring in september of 2014 but i always thought it was a "hiccup" and never really paid it any mind until it starting happening much more frequently. After i fill up my gas tank (i don't over fill) my car has intermittent engine stalls causing me to lose throttle response and my power steering. Sometimes the car has enough rpm to restart the motor but most of the time i have to shift to…

My car completely shut off when i pulled into the turning lane. The steering wheel locked up and i had no control. Once at a complete stop, i was able to start the car normally and everything was normal. This has happened to me previously but i was actually driving at a higher speed and with my child inside!!. Apparently i am not the only one with this problem as i have read that this was happening to many dodge…

I have had an issue with my car stalling and it seems there are many others with the same issue. The fact that this is not being looked at as a safety concern is beyond me. Just because you don't reach 90mph when it stalls does not mean accidents will not occur. If i am turning into a street and traffic is coming in my direction and i stall should i just "restart" my vehicle in hopes that someone doesn't t-bone me?…

Right after leaving the gas station from filling up my cars' gas tank my engine stalled when i came to a stop on a very busy intersection. I was able to start it again but it turned off on me again, repeated the process twice until the light changed and i was able to make it home. Drove around my neighborhood making multiple stops to see it if happened again in which the engine only turned off once more. *tr

It is hard starting and will stall anywhere between 0 to 45 mph. When it starts rough it will not go forward or reverse without stalling. It seems to be worse after filling the gas tank. When the car stalls it does so with no warning and can leave you with no power steering or brakes. It did it off and on at first but now does almost every time i run it. I took it to a dodge dealer and gave him a copy of the…
