    After fueling car, the engine stalled. Luckily i had not pulled into traffic yet. I was able to restart after a couple of attempts and drive back into the parking lot. The engine stalled again. After that, the car wouldn't start. I had to have it towed to the nearest dodge dealership. Because it was thanksgiving, and everything was closed, i had to delay my trip a day before continuing on to my destination. The next…

    Filled up fuel tank on 11/28/13 and on 12/1/13 and about 200 feet after exiting gas station the car stalled, i restarted the car and it drove another few hundred feet and it stalled a couple more times. After reading some article i found this has become a common problem on this car. I feel it should be a safety recall due to the car stalling seconds after pulling out into traffic risking getting rear ended or t…

    While navigating a parking lot (approx. 5 mph) minutes after filling the gas tank, the engine died. The oil pressure light came on, the rpm gauge dropped to zero and the steering became very difficult to turn. We were able to shift into park and start the car fairly easily, but the engine turned over for several seconds before starting. The engine stalled twice more when leaving the same parking lot and had to be…

    After filling up with gas this morning, as i accelerated away from the gas station the car began to buck and jerk. It smoothed out for a little while, then after accelerating away from the next stoplight it jerked and made a loud noise. This is heavy suburban traffic, so very stop-and-go. The car began to stall, and only restart if i depress the accelerator all the way to the floor while starting. Go a little bit…

    After filling the fuel tank, the car will suddenly stall while driving on the road within 5 miles of fueling up. This can be very dangerous if i am turning and another vehicle is coming at me. I lose all power steering. To start it again i have to either come to a complete stop and put the car in park, or i have to put it in neutral and turn the key while moving. This can be very dangerous under several situations.…

    Since about 4 years ago my 06 charger daytona has been stalling for unknown reasons. Took it to the dealers only to be told they couldn't find anything wrong. After some research i came to know that dodge had a real issue with safety concerning the evap system. I was told later that an unserviceable valve on the gas tank was faulty and therefore the gas tank needed to be replaced; its too expensive. It has been very…

    11/16/13 i had just filled up my gas tank on i95 at ladysmith, va and was coming down the ramp northbound when the engine sputtered and stalled just as i merged onto the highway. I pulled over after getting blasted by truckers horns for making them slam on brakes. After a couple attempts it restarted and i took off again, only to have it stall again. It did this three more times before it finally started and did not…

It cleared up and i assumed it was bad gas (water, perhaps). Had company in town the next week. Same, filled tank, got on ih-35, and the car stalled on a flyover (much to the dismay of those driving behind me). I lost power steering/braking and almost ran…

    Vehicle stalls and kills after refueling. It happens before even leaving the pump and/or once driving has started. It takes a few miles or some time before it's normal again. If it's sitting idle, you can hear it struggling before a burst in rpm's leading to a stall. Sometimes it starts right back up. Sometimes it doesn't for a while. *tr
