I know that newer vehicle fuel tanks are designed not to be force filled due to the special evap system. I only fill the tank till the station pump nozzle clicks…

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

About two weeks after the tune up i began to have trouble. At first i thought it was the shop that had done the tune up but after reading hundreds of letters from other people, i know now that it is the car. This is what happens: when i began to accelerate…

Just an update since my first complaint in june 2014. The car continues to stall several times after every fill up. Today, it died in the middle of an intersection twice (with oncoming traffic) and then died a third time when i was past the intersection but within the same block. I wish my husband had never purchased this car. *tr

I was sitting at a stop light, the light turned green. I proceeded to go through the light and intersection (4-way very busy highway) and the car stalled locking up the steering wheel, lighting up the dash. I managed to maneuver just enough to get to the side of the road before someone rear ended me. This is not the first time this has happened but this was one of the times my child was with me during a very hectic…

When i went to leave my appointment, i started the car and attempted to back out of my parking spot. The car died as soon…

Even though the car was controllable although with significant increase in required force. I almost went off the road as a result of the partial loss of control but managed to recover.
