I have a 2006 dodge daytona r/t charger. In january of this year, with ~185k thousand miles on the car, it began stalling after fueling. The car will suddenly die and causes loss of power steering and brakes, and is often difficult to restart. This is causing extremely dangerous conditions, as it occurs when pulling out into traffic and/or moving through intersections. Because the car suddenly stalls, you are left…

I refueled the gas tank with high octane gas, and while driving the short distance home, the engine stalled three times. This made braking difficult and scary, as i was in traffic. Each time it started back up, but left me very afraid of wrecking from possibly not being able to stop the car. *tr
