Car stalls out and loss of power while stopping for stop light. Oil light comes on after stalling out but no engine light or fault code shows up. Car usually starts up right away but does take a couple of tries at times. Car also jerks around like starving for fuel. Had a tune up done, fuel system cleaned and was told that the shop could not duplicate the problem. This is very discerning to myself and my family due…

I placed the transmission in park and turned on the car in the middle of traffic, drove to the stop light and the car stalled again. The car kept stalling every time i would stop for the next three miles. The car ran fine until i topped off the fuel tank and then the car began stalling again. The car stalls at every stop…

Minutes after filling my tank with gas, i drove less than a mile and turned into a parking lot. I was still driving, around 15 mph, when i heard a ding, and immediately noticed a loss of steering control. I pressed the brake and quickly noticed a loss of braking as well. It was then i realized the car had stalled while i was still moving! Thankfully i had no one around and was on a straight stretch where i could…

After filling my car up at a gas station i was entering the freeway and my car sputtered and stalled on me on the on ramp to the freeway. I was almost rear ended and the car locked up and it was difficult to steer. Further diagnoses from the dealership showed that the evap valve was bad on the car and needed a new gas tank. Apparently this problem is happening with a lot of dodge chargers, magnums and chrysler…

Went to start my dodge charger r/t and the engine made a unknown terrible loud noise and then would not start. I've had issues with the car stalling while driving and when coming to a complete stop the car would die. But i've never experienced this terrible loud noise of the engine. It's clear this engine shouldn't have had this malfunction at the mileage the car is currently at, i believe this to be true as i towed…

The engine is then hard to restart, and once…

After filling gas tank, engine hesitates and/or stalls. I only fill up until the fuel pump automatically shuts off, i do not add any more fuel than that. This has happened almost every time i have filled up with fuel. Most of the stalling/hesitation occurs when coasting or decelerating (coming to a stop). This has created multiple very dangerous situations due to the engine not running and i have a loss of the power…

Drove to a business and once placed in park, the gear shift became stuck. Called aaa, they were going to tow it, then another driver showed up for aaa and knew just what to do. He takes apart the case that goes around the gear shift and presses on a pink colored emergency park release lever, ( why is that even an option??!!! ) it was obviously not attached to any thing as it fell down into the space around the…
