Had my vehicle in for routine maintenance. I have been noticing clunking from the steering wheel and shaking problems at highway speeds. Dealer inspected car and found left and right ball joints cracked and broken power steering line, along with a broken tie rod on the left side. I find this very difficult to digest as the car doesn't even have 25,000 miles on it, it is never driven in snow, and is constantly in my…

The car suddenly stalled and engine turned off. The steering was locked and was unable to move. I was turning into my subdivision when suddenly this happened. I was probably around 5 mph. Luckily there was no car behind me. I was able to put the car in park and start it and drive home without issue. The second time it got stalled when the same day i had to take my son to one of his class. When i was stopped at the…

Reference pe13-016 after filling up the fuel tank, very shortly driving down the road the car will stall. This has happened at least 4 times now and with other incidents of the vehicle trying to stall at high speeds on the interstate (65-70 mph), with at least 2 incidents at an intersection where i fill up at a station frequently. This is a huge safety concern, if this does happen as i am going through an…

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…

This is not the first time this has happened and this is flat out dangerous! After driving all day i was almost out of gas so i stopped at one of my regularly used gas stations. As like i always do when i get gas i got a full tank and i do not overfill, once the handle pops i'm done pumping. Vehicle started fine and i drove off the gas station with no problems. Once on the main road i approached my first turn and in…

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…

After filling gas tank, engine hesitates and/or stalls. I only fill up until the fuel pump automatically shuts off, i do not add any more fuel than that. This has happened almost every time i have filled up with fuel. Most of the stalling/hesitation occurs when coasting or decelerating (coming to a stop). This has created multiple very dangerous situations due to the engine not running and i have a loss of the power…

Immediately after fueling, the vehicle stalled while leaving the gas station and lost all belt driven components as a result - power steering, a/c, etc. The vehicle subsequently stalled several more times while driving, and exhibited labored acceleration in between. This was the first incident and has been repeated every time it was refueled until pump shut off since, regardless of different gas stations and fuels.…

Most recent episode happened as i was preparing to enter the gas stations drive-thru car wash...i had my foot on the brake to enter the code for the wash and just as i started to move forward the engine stalled. Happened a couple of months ago on the public right of way, i was stopped at a red light (just after a fuel up and just before…

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…

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…
