Sometimes after filling the fuel tank full with gasoline, when driving the car, the engine stalls and quits. It can be a bit difficult to restart. I have only had this happen on city streets because those are the only places i normally drive.

My 2006 dodge charger has developed a stalling issue every time i fill with gas. I have tried different things as far as not filling to the top or not topping it off with gas. I filled with gas along an interstate and when i was trying to get on the interstate it quit on me down the off ramp when i was to merge with traffic. Was able to get car to the side of the interstate and re-start but died again. Started again…

My 2006 dodge charger rt with the road and track option will intermittently loose power and often die after filling gas tank. Even if you don't completely fill it still will die unexpectedly. I never top the tank off with more gas. In addition when car dies going around a curve, the power steering goes out making driving really dangerous. The engine dies at nearly any condition. When traveling at highway speed,…

Recently, after pumping gas into my car and after driving for a few moments, the car stops as i approach a stop sign or a light.

This only happens after i pump gas into my vehicle (2006 dodge charger r/t). This has happened on city streets as i am…

After filling up gas tank (not topping off at all) the car will stall randomly for about 15 minutes after fill up even while driving at higher speeds. Very dangerous. Steering is lost and even when restarting it takes a second for the transmission to engage when putting the car in drive. This has been happening with my vehicle for about a year now.

After filling up with fuel my charger will stall. It has happened 5 or 6 separate occasions over the past 2 years. I generally do not fill the car up all the way because of this. However just today i had the same problem after accidentally filling it. I do not top off the car when filling once the nozzle clicks off i stop. Today after getting gas i went to pull out into traffic and the car stalled. The power…

Car will shut off going 45 mph, at a stop light (0 mph) or when crossing traffic intersections for examples (at most going 10 or 15 mph). I will attempt to restart and the car will start up, stall up and then shut off again - when this happens, i lose power steering. I have to switch gears from drive to park and then turn the car off and then on again in hopes it will start. As you're driving, you can feel when the…

The vehicle requires restarting twice more before it will run normally. This happens every time the gas tank is fully filled. No problem if the tank is filled less than full. This has occurred the last three times gas tank was fully…

Takata inflators. When i fill the tank with gas and start driving it will sputter, jerk and stall. When it stalls and i finally get it started, i press on the gas lightly it doesn't move and then it lunges forward. This just started in the last month, but it now happens every time i fill the tank for about the first 20-30 miles driven. I've read that his is an issue with these cars. I also see the warranty has been…

My car has a constant smell of exhaust fumes in the cabin. This odor is most prevalent when you first start the car and remains.the odor is strongest when the car is started and the ac is on, the odor is made worse by switching the ac selector to pull in air from outside the vehicle. This greatly concerns me because i dont want to be engaging deadly methane fumes.dodge told me they would diagnose the issue for 130…

The car stalls after filling up the fuel tank. Dodge has extended the warranty on these tanks but says my car is not covered. This is a safety issue, i have had it stall on the highway and in traffic. I don't understand why this isn't a safety recall.

The car stalled as i was driving. I have looked up this issue before and people have said it has something to do with the fuel tank. A dealership has replaced the fuel tank a few months back and today it stalled again. This is the first time this has happened since replacing the fuel tank. It appears this is a bigger problem than just the fuel tank. There should be a recall placed before people are seriously hurt…
