This vehicle has been flawless since purchased new in 2006. In nov. 2013 it stalled when backing out of the garage. Restarted vehicle and was fine for 5 miles then stalled again. Ever since then the problem has increased in frequency and almost caused multiple accidents due to the vehicle stalling when crossing intersections or merging onto highways. I have not driven this car in months due to this as it is not safe…

I own a 2006 dodge charger srt8 with about 31,000 miles on it. I just got the vehicle on october 25, 2013 and have only had it for a month. A couple weeks after i had the car, i noticed a big problem. My engine would just shut of when i was idling. Usually this would happen when i was stuck in traffic, or at a red light, or at a stop sign at an intersection. The entire car would just shut down immediately and i…

It also stalls every time driving within the first 2 miles of filling up with gas. It…

On 10/30/13 my 2006 dodge charger stalled on a major street without any warning. I had just filled the gas tank and was driving back to work. I had reached a speed somewhere between 40-50 when the car just stopped in the middle of the road. I was able to get it started and pull into a nearby parking lot and shut it off. I was shaken by the event, after collecting my thoughts i tried to re-start the car thinking if i…

After filling my tank i drove away from the station and my car shut off while driving down the road. It took a few attempts before my vehicle actually started again. I drove down the road towards my house and it stalled on me again. This time i was a little faster to turn on the vehicle but it stuttered all the way home. This happens every time i fill my tank. To be sure of the issue i ran my gas tank to half tank…

Car stalls and cuts off after refueling. I always put 89 octane or higher gasoline in my vehicle. This is a severe safety issue because you can get rammed from behind when in traffic i.e. Washington, dc area the busiest streets in america. The dealer suggested the consumer spend $1800 to replace the fuel tank. Updated 02/06/14

After filling up gas tank, without over filling by rounding off, the car will stall out within 1/4 mile of running. It takes time cranking engine to start, then will buck and stall occasionally until it is driven at least 2-3 miles. All power steering and brakes are lost at this time as well. *tr

On or about 03 october 2013, the engine (5.7l hemi) stalled going at 30-35 mph. The engine service light came on, but disappeared when i restarted the engine. Since that day, i have experienced multiple engine stall incidents (about 10 times) usually at a traffic stop being idle or approaching a stop, and during reverse. In november, while cruising on a highway, the engine acted as if to stall again with all the…

Within 15 miles after filling the gas tank, the car just stops running with no warning. It has happened 3-4 times. So far we've been lucky and haven't been hit, but i'm afraid we will get rear ended soon. *tr

This has happened many times. After filling the vehicle with a full tank, shortly afterwards car will stall without warning. Sometimes as i exit the fuel station, other times it's 10 minutes later when i'm on the road. Several times when driving it'll buck, stall and then start back up as it's coasting. Most of the time it'll stall at a traffic light. When it stalls, it'll start back up, but there's a…

This has happened multiple times and seems to be increasing in frequency. When at idle, for example at a traffic light or in stop-and-go traffic, the engine has stalled. This happened again last night as well as this morning and it has me concerned. I have read that others complain of this happening with a full tank but that is not true for me. I never have over-filled the tank and even with it being a little over…

I had just filled the gas tank and when i made a turn the engine died while i was turning. I put the car into neutral and attempted to start the car a few times and it finally started. When the engine failed the power steering was disabled and it made me almost hit another car who had to adjust his route so i would not have a collision with him. There is a strong odor of gas as well. I have had this problem before…

In addition to the stalling, on one occasion the engine cut off completely. Thankfully, i was in a low traffic area and it didn't cause a crash. The stalling does not happen when the engine is filled up partially or with about $20.00 worth of gasoline. On september 1st after leaving…
