    I have a 2006 dodge charger. It stalled 3 times on me, twice on the road and once in the drive way. I called dodge and they said it should run if the gas tank is no full. I told them it was on 3/4 tank. I set up an appointment for july 7, 2014 and my husband went in. They ordered the part, it's called the fuel tank multifunction control valve. One week later dodge of elk grove called and they were cancelling…

    I filled up with gas, pulled out of the gas station onto the expressway on ramp and the engine died. I rolled to the shoulder and after about 10 minutes it would finally start. It stalled a few more times then finally it would run long enough to get me home. *tr

    I have had an issue with my car stalling and it seems there are many others with the same issue. The fact that this is not being looked at as a safety concern is beyond me. Just because you don't reach 90mph when it stalls does not mean accidents will not occur. If i am turning into a street and traffic is coming in my direction and i stall should i just "restart" my vehicle in hopes that someone doesn't t-bone me?…

    After refueling, the car stalls at speed. This pretty much now happens after every fill up. The car always restarts, but usually happens 2-4 times after initially refueling. The danger is, it sometimes happens at speed, the car quickly decelerates in traffic making it dangerous. Many times we have had to pull off the road in traffic to restart. *tr

    Every time i fill up the car dies for about 5-10 miles every time i come to a stop. It looks like the roll over valve is faulty in the tank. I have heard rumors that this is an extended warranty period item. Is that correct? *tt

    It is hard starting and will stall anywhere between 0 to 45 mph. When it starts rough it will not go forward or reverse without stalling. It seems to be worse after filling the gas tank. When the car stalls it does so with no warning and can leave you with no power steering or brakes. It did it off and on at first but now does almost every time i run it. I took it to a dodge dealer and gave him a copy of the…

Anyway, i have talked with multiple dodge dealerships and they have all told me that they have no idea what i'm talking about and that they have nothing in their system…

    Every time i fill up the gas tank the car it stalls and shuts off. This causes lost of steering and may start immediately after or take a few tries. I've had my son with me in the car when this happens and i am afraid that we might be rear ended or it may shut off and have no steering at a crucial turn or in a busy intersection. I saw that this website closed the investigation because dodge (allegedly) was sending…
