Engine overheated, immediately shut off and, I now need a new engine. There were recalls for some of the engine cooling fans in my car year and model (06 Dodge Charger), but I am being told that it does not apply to me.
My car was recalled for the cooling fans letting my car overheat. The dealer replaces the fans and the asks if I want him to fix my overheating issue. I thought that was why my cooling fans were the issue. It stopped overheating for a month maybe at most the I had to have a new radiator, t-stat, and water pump. Within a couple weeks on my way to my doctor the temperature guage dropped to 140 and died. I started it up and it has a quick knocking noise that seem to tick too quickly toto be a rod plus the car doesn't die. I turned it off after hearing the knocking and had it towed home. Now my brother is letting me drive his car and mine is a yard ornament.
Coming to a stop at traffic red light, engine died. Put trans in neutral, restarted vehicle. Drove about 2 miles, stopped at red light, engine died. Repeated start procedure as above. Drove about 1/2 mile stopped at red light, on green made left trun across intersection. Halfway across intersection engine stopped. Gas tank 1/2 full. Took vehicle to dealer who informed me they had never heard of this problem. Yet many complaints on internet forums re this issue. Also many reports of engine stall in NHTSA website. Dealer advised me they could not see any computer trouble codes and couldn't help. Never had any stalling issues until sdealer serviced car several weeks befor with new sparkplugs, recallled cooling fan replace. Per factory recall. This car is no longer safe to drive! filed complaint with Dodge by phone, rep said they has never heard of this engine stall before!!!!.
