I have a 2006 dodge charger r/t with a 5.7l engine. My car has started to randomly stall mostly at slower speeds when approaching a stop light or making a turn. There is no warning that it is going to happen, it just sputters, bucks and then stalls. There are no codes after restarting the car. It will restart if i put it in either park or neutral but continues to chug and sputter after restarting. It will do this…

After fueling up, i pulled out of the gas station and onto a main road. About 300yards from the gas station. I accelerated to approximately 40mph, in the middle of the intersection my car "dinged" the oil light came on and my engine shut down. I lost all ability to turn, or break. This is a very dangerous situation. I feared for my life. I originally thought it was because i let the fuel levels get too low, after, i…

After filling up my fuel tank up for the first time the car was hard to restart. Once the car started the she kept cutting out and even died twice. This happened while i was in traffic. Since that time every time i filled the tank i have the same issue. I have had to resort to only filling the car up to 3/4 tank to avoid this issue. *tr

The car will stall within a minute or so of filling up the gas tank. This has happened about 95% of the time i filled up the tank. If i feel the stall coming on i can throw it in neutral and rev the engine for about 10 seconds and it won't stall anymore. I first began to notice it at least 8 months ago. I stopped filling the tank all the way just to avoid this because it caused me to stall while going thru an…

I pulled out on a major road and the gas pedal assembly broke off of the mounting bracket. I was in a spot where i couldn't pull over safely so i had to reach down and try to operate the throttle by hand while driving. Upon closer inspection, the plastic part of the gas pedal that holds the gas pedal to the mounting bracket broke off. This vehicle is equipped with the "pursuit" or law enforcement package. *tr

Car would keep accelerating for a few seconds after removing foot from pedal. When it completely failed the car would rev to 4000 rpms in neutral without even touching the accelerator pedal. Put the car in drive when the rpms dropped and it just took off. Pedal appeared to be fine and where it was supposed to be. Had the car towed to the dealership and the pedal assembly was replaced. The tech duplicated the same…

On feb. 17, 2011, i started to accelerate onto i-495 in maryland. Hitting the accelerator for a fast take off, the accelerator broke off and the car went from 15 mph to 80 mph in 5 sec. I immediately put the car in neutral, got to the side of the road and applied the brakes. If there had been a another vehicle in front of me, i probably would not be making this post right now. So far, chrysler of dodge has done…

This morning i began to back out of the garage when the vehicle increased acceleration on its own, i was able to brake but i could feel the pressure of the acceleration against the brake. I stopped the car then proceeded to back out again, and it did the same thing. I then shifted it into drive and began moving forward. I live off of a dirt road so i usually like to drive very slow, sometimes coasting (the terrain…

Brakes have locked up x3. Vehicle almost skidded into the back of another vehicle @ 40mph. Afraid to drive vehicle. Had it checked out by dealership & repair shop, nothing wrong. Repair shop did note brake squeak and vehicle shaking even at low mph during test drive- he had just put new rotor and brake pads less than 3mnths ago! Vehicle also has a noticeable 'kick' or 'jarring' when driving- even at 5-10mph in…
