This has happened in the middle of an intersection and on the highway. I feel very anxious and scared when i drive now because of this issue. After discovering online that many other 2006 dodge chargers have experienced the same issue, i am hoping there is an…

I refueled the gas tank with high octane gas, and while driving the short distance home, the engine stalled three times. This made braking difficult and scary, as i was in traffic. Each time it started back up, but left me very afraid of wrecking from possibly not being able to stop the car. The same problem occurred after refueling on 9/13/13 and 11/16/13 and 1/31/14. I reported the first incident that occurred on…

After refueling my 2006 dodge charger, the car stalled while traveling out of the gas station and the speed was appoximately 20 mph. This has happened several times and only after the tank has been filled to capacity. From what i have read online this is a fuel overflow sensor on the top of the fuel tank that is causing this. *tr
