    After filling my charger up with premium fuel, it immediately stalls without warning while i am driving, i lose the power steering and i am unable restart it right away. It happens every time i fill up, and i have paid over $500 dollars to the dealership to trouble shoot it, and they do not have a clue. Very dangerous feeling. Someone will be killed from this issue, it comes at varying times.
