After refueling my 2006 dodge charger 5.7l the engine stalled as i was leaving the stations parking lot and after restarting the engine ran very rough for a short while. After about 2 miles of driving everything cleared up. Took it to a repair shop because i thought maybe i had got bad gasoline but everything checked out fine. I was told not to fill completely up and that this is a known problem that is very…

For the past 3 months, 5 to 10 minutes after filling up with fuel, car stalls and dies. Spoke to the dealer mechanic and he said he had to replace the total gas tank in an 06 charger a few days ago for the same reason. He went on to say that this is the only way to fix the problem. Cost starts at 1700.00 up to 2500.00. Why is there no recall on this... Chrysler dodge will be paying much more when accidents and…

Immediately after fueling, the vehicle stalled while leaving the gas station and lost all belt driven components as a result - power steering, a/c, etc. The vehicle subsequently stalled several more times while driving, and exhibited labored acceleration in between. This was the first incident and has been repeated every time it was refueled until pump shut off since, regardless of different gas stations and fuels.…

Was coming down a hill when my engine died and the dashboard chime started ringing, plus the oil pressure light came on. Was very lucky being able to wrestle the car, still going downhill with no power driving or power brake assist, into a 7-11 just before a major intersection (four lanes one way, six lanes crosswise). Called a tow truck. Had been sitting there for a half hour and on a lark we tried to start it up…

The car would lose all power within a 10th of mile after filling up with gasoline. The car gives no warning signals, but stalls out. This happen also when the fuel tank was a fourth of tank of gas. The car would restart, within minutes after placing it in park. ( remind you i am sitting in middle of highway with no tail lights, or flashers) this is a major concern of mine. I was lucky that i did not get rear ended…

After filling up gas tank completely my car will die every time, sometimes about 5 minutes after i pull out into traffic. It has been happening for over a year now. I would like to reference pe13-016, dodge/chrysler says i will have to 1800$ to have this fixed and that there is no extended warranty on this faulty setup. *tr

Fuel/Propulsion System
After filling tank with fuel, car stalls and dies several times due to flooding. Web search reveals this is a very common problem and only solution to fully resolve is to replace fuel tank with associated equipment. If this problem is as pervasive as it seems, then an investigation should be initiated and a recall begun. A car dying repeatedly in traffic is a very bad thing. *tr

After filling up the fuel tank, leaving the gas station the car stalled out several times. First out of the gas station , then 2 more times while getting on the freeway. Very nerve racking. This has been a consistent situation everytime i have filled up for the last several months. I have not been able to use the vehicle to travel back and forth to work or other business needs. Not real happy right now. Have contact…

The first time the issue happened was right after we filled up gas, we drove onto the i-5 and proceeded up the grapevine in california, very steep grade. As we started going up the car bogged and died, which slowed our speed dramatically as well as gave me very hard steering at 65 mph. We almost got rear-ended by a larger vehicle behind us, do to our rapid de-acceleration going up hill with no brake lights. The…

I had just filled up my car with fuel and upon exiting the gas station my car stalled. I put the transmission into neutral and coasted to the side of the road. I waited several minutes and restarted the car and went on my way without further incident. I had been aware of a potential problem with my vehicle for this type of problem with information i gleaned from internet forums and this helped me to not panic when…

My car has had multiple occurrences where i am sitting at a stoplight in traffic and the car will suddenly shut off for no reason. This usually occurs after i fill the gas tank completely full after a trip to the gas station. My car has also done this while the car is moving. This has happened up to 70 mph while trying to pass another vehicle. The car actually "coughed" then just sort of stalling, suddenly started…

2006 dodge charger rt (5.7 hemi) stalls suddenly when driving on highway. I placed car quickly in neutral and tried restarting twice before car started again.

This problem is related to the purge solenoid. The evaporative emissions system stores fuel vapors from the tank and then burns them in the engine, to keep the vapors from going into the atmosphere. When you fill the tank with fuel the air and vapor that the fuel displaces has to go into the evap system. There is a valve on top of the tank that allows the vapor out, but is supposed to shut off when liquid fuel hits…

My car started dying after being filled at the gas station. It was very dangerous driving and slowing down to have it die. Clearly there is a problem somewhere in the fuel system. *tr
