5. 7l hemi engine. For the past 2 yrs, engine will stall after filling-up the gas tank. This doesn't happen after every fill-up, but occurs at random fill-up intervals. The engine will stall multiple times until it's burned off approximately 1 gallon of gas, then operates normally. Stalling mostly occurs when vehicle comes to a stop. However, I've had several instances when the stall occurred on the highway at 60 mph.
I just read an article on yahoo stating an investigation in the 2006 Dodge Charger engine stalling. For 2 years I had this problem and it was inadvertent but dangerous, especially when driving interstate speeds. The engine would stall out, almost like you turned the key off and then back on. It almost cost me a wreck on the interstate. It would also do it at idle speeds but at that rpm it would kill the engine. I took it to the dealership on numerous occasions and because the problem was intermittent they were unable to diagnose it. When it finally got worse, I was told it needed new plugs. I changed them and it didn't fix the problem. Then they changed all 8 coils and it didn't fix the problem. Finally as a last resort they replaced the computer and it fixed the problem. This whole process cost me about $4,000. A month and a half later the transmission started dragging and not shifting properly, so instead of going through the same process again I decided to get rid of the car.
My 2006 Dodge Charger rt with the 5. 7l engine stalls intermittently. This is especially true after filling the gas tank or on cold/cool mornings. This has only happened at low speeds below 35 mph. Forcing me to roll to a stop in traffic, put the car in park and re-start it, which it does. However, now at higher speeds (65mph) the engine will stutter momentarily. The rpm gage will show the engine at near zero and then jump back to normal, shuddering the car. Searching the Dodge Charger websites I have learned this may be related to a vent on the top of the gas tank which fails. The fuel flow sensor on the engine detects this as over-pressure and turns the engine off for safety. I have spoke to my dealer about this and they stated they are unaware of any issues. I have not been able to reproduce it in front of them, as I said it is an intermittent issue. I fear that the stalling may finally happen at freeway speeds forcing me to lose power when I need it most!.
The engines' rocker arms & lifters are tapping & causing engine to stall & consume more gas all because the Chrysler-Dodge dealership have been replacing only 5qts of oil rather than the 6qts the manual instructs. Nothing has been done by the dealer to correct this maintenance issue.

After filling car with gas the engine stalls multiple times for the first few miles. This has happened to me a few hundred times over the years,I have almost been t boned and rear ended multiple times due to this defect. I try not to fill the tank but it happens even if gas is close to the fill mark.
