Fuel/Propulsion System
I just filled my car up with gas and drove it. I came to a stop at the light and when i began to accelerate my car stalled in the middle of the intersection. It finally picked up speed, but as i approached the second light it completely cut off. I was able to start it but i had to go over 50+ or more miles per hour to keep it from stalling. Once i drove into my driveway it completely cut off again. I ran the car for…

While driving my 2006 dodge charger, at interstate speeds, while operating with cruise control, a single alarm sounded, the vehicle lost power and completely shut down, only to restart seconds later and accelerate again.

I drive a 2006 dodge charger r/t with the 5.7l hemi. It has the 19 gallon fuel tank in it. The tank is defective as it causes the car to stall soon after a fill up and usually it'll just stall anytime it chooses even in the middle of the road. This is a known issue and the nhtsa and chrysler settled this earlier this year. Well, i called chrysler corp. About this and they transferred the warranty into my name and…

Vehicle jerks while driving as if something is starting to die or go out, then starts running again. Only appears to happen after filling the fuel tank to completely full. Vehicle will stall out within several feet after fueling up, then restart and you're good to go. You drive maybe an eighth of a mile and as you slow to a stop, the car will stall out and die again. Usually fine for the rest of the evening. Vehicle…

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

This incident started occurring in september of 2014 but i always thought it was a "hiccup" and never really paid it any mind until it starting happening much more frequently. After i fill up my gas tank (i don't over fill) my car has intermittent engine stalls causing me to lose throttle response and my power steering. Sometimes the car has enough rpm to restart the motor but most of the time i have to shift to…

I filled up with gas in california when on vacation. I pulled out of the gas station and onto the freeway. About a minute after merging and getting up to speed the entire car shut off. No power, no power steering, completely died. I had to merge through two lanes of highway traffic at highway speeds to get out of the flow of traffic. Car was able to restart after putting it in park and waiting several minutes. Huge…

I learned about the fuel tank warranty and will be getting that repaired, but my issue is at 75 to 100% throttle my car will stall out. But my car starts back up on its own like nothing ever happened. When it stalls it throws you forward like the car is braking and then when it fires back up you can hit the throttle and it will go as normal. *tr

After filling gas tank completely, car started stalling going down the road. Continued to stall at stop light and in parking lot and would not stay running unless hitting the gas pedal. Problem seemed to resolve itself after a few miles. Same exact issue has happened multiple times over the last few months, but only when filling the gas tank completely. When only putting partial amount into tank, this issue does not…

After every fill up my 2006 dodge charger will die. It will stall. It will stop running. This will, and has happened while idling at intersections, during u-turns, left turns, right turns, at 25 mph, at freeway speeds up to 65 mph, and, or every speed in between. It occurs up to and until the engine burns off sufficient fuel so as not to effect whatever system is being effected/failing. This is potentially fatal…

I first noticed an issue not long after buying the car. After every fill up (without topping off), within a few hundred feet of driving off the oil pressure light comes on and the car shuts off. It has not caused an accident yet but it is a huge annoyance and could cause future problems. I've read online that its an issue with the evap system. Its an expensive issue and is due to poor vehicle parts, not operator use…

I have experienced a number of incidents where the vehicle while moving at a slow speed (typically in city traffic) the vehicle will jerk forward and the engine light will ding. Sometimes the car will push through and keep moving other times it will stall completely and need to be restarted. This has been incredibly dangerous as it has happened getting on highways from on ramps. Once i restart the car all seems to…

After fuel refill, motor will stall and die multiple times for up to the next mile of driving at any speed. This is dangerous. After online investigation i found this is a serious problem with many cars of this type. It is also, in my eyes, an extremely expensive repair as it will cost me nearly 1/4 of the price i paid for the car. Chrysler should stand behind there product, repair and replace the faulty tanks in…

After refueling and if i leave the pump, but not the station, i experience bucking and/or stalling and loss of steering and brakes. This happens even up to a couple of miles of driving. My car bucks violently at highway speeds and even stalls. If i stop at a stop sign or light, it stalls. It happens on a soft or hard acceleration. I tried them both. If i do leave the station immediately, it will then happen on a…
