My 2006 dodge charger has began to stall after a gas fill-up. It is very scary because it does not matter how fast you are driving. I had it stall about 5 times after filling up today. One in which i was going 40 mph. The steering wheel locks up and it is very dangerous. I am very concerned for the safety if myself and family. *tr

I have owned the car for only a week. It's a beautiful car with a 5.7 hemi. The first time i fueled the vehicle it stalled as i re entered traffic without warning. It stalled several times within a 4 block area but would restart each time. With a 16 year old son now driving i am concerned that he might not be able to react approximately. I'm going to call the dealership. *tr
