I filled it up again today and noticed a sucking noise coming from gas tank. It started up then stalled as i took off. So i…

Major safety issue. After refueling, my vehicle stalls anywhere from 1-6 times at random times. It happens at highway speeds, and city driving. There is a total loss of power (brakes and steering included) had a very close call of causing an accident due to this issue. This issue is supposedly covered by extended lifetime warranty but my vin is not "eligible" for some reason. In order to fix the issue, the gas tank…

Engine stalls several times immediately after filling gas tank. This is very dangerous because you loose steering and power brakes in traffic. The dodge dealer says that it does this because there is gasoline in the vapor canister. I believe this is because something in the fuel tank is causing fuel to get into the canister where it does not belong. Changing the canister is not going to solve the problem. I am…

My car completely shut off on me as i was driving it. This happened to me on 01/13/17 as i was leaving the gas station (after refueling). I was merging onto the freeway at the time, which turned out to be a blessing as i was able to merge into a safe location on the highway. After reading about similar cases online, i found this to be a recurring issue in the 06 chargers / chrysler models. This is definitely a major…

2006 dodge charger has a known issue involving vehicle stalling if the gas tank is filled. Dodge negotiated a lifetime warranty for repair of this defect in lieu of a recall. I was not notified of this warranty. My fuel pump has failed due to chronically running hot due to inability to fill the gas tank. The fuel pump design depends on the cooler temperature of the gasoline in the tank to keep it cooled. In other…

After filling up gas tank, vehicle will rapidly lose rpms and stall when stopped at lights or stop signs. I then put the vehicle in park and am able to restart it, but it will stall again while moving right after. This causes a loss of power steering which has almost caused me to crash multiple times. I only bought the car 12 days ago and it has done this multiple times. I have read the multiple other complaints,…

My 2006 dodge charger rt stalls intermittently while i'm turning a corner on a city street or stopped at a red light. When it stalls, i do not have power steering. This is extremely dangerous because i could get hit. Sometimes it stalls more often after i fill up with gas. I do not overfill. I have been filing my gas tank the same way for 10 years and until october of 2016 it has never been a problem.

This is extremely dangerous and should be dealt with by the company…
