3 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2020

Vehicle stalls when slowing to stop or turn, only after filling the gas tank. The stalling persists, and has left me in dangerous situations, until enough fuel is used. From 3/4 full and lower there is no stalling whatsoever.

4 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 04/07/2020

For the last several months I have had problems with my 2006 Dodge Charger rt stalling and cutting while driving or idling while stopped. This happens only after filling up my gas tank. Recently it happened while turning at an intersection and I had to quickly steer into a business parking lot to get out of traffic.

5 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 07/27/2019

Vehicle stalls and dies 6-8 times immediately after filling tank with fuel. It does this every time I fill it. Purchased car on 7/27/2019. Recall on airbags actuator was repaired at dealership but is not showing as documented on your website.

6 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 06/29/2019

Sometimes after filling the fuel tank full with gasoline, when driving the car, the engine stalls and quits. It can be a bit difficult to restart. I have only had this happen on city streets because those are the only places I normally drive.

7 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 03/22/2019

After filling gas a check engine light comes on and the vehicle stalls while being stopped at lights. The vehicle has had all emissions components replaced except for the evaporator canister and fuel tank. Unknown as of yet if the vehicle stalls under highway conditions, but close to being hit in the rear when vehicle stalls at traffic lights.

8 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 03/14/2019

After filling up gas tank (not topping off at all) the car will stall randomly for about 15 minutes after fill up even while driving at higher speeds. Very dangerous. Steering is lost and even when restarting it takes a second for the transmission to engage when putting the car in drive. This has been happening with my vehicle for about a year now.

9 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 01/17/2019

Car shuts off without warning while in motion after filling gas tank. Power steering goes out as well. Very dangerous as the driver has no warning. . .

10 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 12/27/2018

Car will shut off going 45 mph, at a stop light (0 mph) or when crossing traffic intersections for examples (at most going 10 or 15 mph). I will attempt to restart and the car will start up, stall up and then shut off again - when this happens, I lose power steering. I have to switch gears from drive to park and then turn the car off and then on again in hopes it will start. As you're driving, you can feel when the car is about to cut off, it throttles ahead a bit and revs, then the car beeps and turns off, while the gear is in drive and turning my wheel does nothing. I notice that this issue would usually happen after a fill up my gas tank, so I started only filling up halfway ,but the issue still persists. This issue became heavily frequent yesterday where the car stalled and cut off at least 4 different times while making a 7 mile drive back home. This was very very scary in my eyes, especially with a passenger in my seat. This is a huge safety concern because the vehicle is shutting off while in motion and powering steering is lost. If this happens on the highway going 60+ miles per hour, or turning into oncoming traffic, there is a guaranteed accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. I believe there is an issue with the gas tank and the evap canister that causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling the engine, which shuts off the car. This was filed under NHTSA pe13-016 (which appears to be closed or inaccessible- https://www-odi. Nhtsa. Dot. Gov/acms/cs/documentlist. Xhtml?docid=pe13016&doctype=inv). This safety concern really needs to be looked into.

11 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 06/25/2018

The car stalls after filling up the fuel tank. Dodge has extended the warranty on these tanks but says my car is not covered. This is a safety issue, I have had it stall on the highway and in traffic. I don't understand why this isn't a safety recall.

12 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 01/20/2018

Shortly after fill up the car will die. This has happened multiple times after filling up and it has happened after multiple fill ups. The car will start moving and I will begin driving when the car dies and I lose power steering. I took it to a mechanic and they said that it is a known safety issue with 2006 Dodge Chargers. The fuel tank and the evap canister needs to be replaced.

13 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2017

While driving after filling gas tank to full, vehicle stalled twice on way home. Both occurrences happened within a 5 minute period. Both occurrences happened with the vehicle in motion, on a city street.

14 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2017

1. After filling the tank the car is subject to engine shutting off periodically. 2. Car is stuck in park and cannot be gotten out of park.

15 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 06/06/2017

I been online looking for this kinda problem and it looks like everyone has this problem but there is not recall and this is extremely dangerous, can whenever you fill up the tank and the level from the gas shuts off on it's own, meaning not overfilling. The car stalls at lot in low rpms and hesitates alot, car shuts off and steering wheel lock making this extremely dangerous, tank is 19 gallos, once you waste 1-2 gallos of gas everything goes back to normal, have change already purge valve in front of the car, also the evap leak detection pump and nothing, everyone online has this problem and no one has a fixed. No engine lights comes on, sometimes a misfire, changed map sensor, camshaft sensor, crank sensor, mass airflow sensor, spark plugs wires, injectors and plugs and still the same. When I run torque app from android store it says evap cap off on red, like that test it never pass. Something with gas related I guess.

16 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 05/09/2017

After filling the gas tank and driving home, the car stalled on the street in front of my home. Took 3-4 time to get it started again. Could have had an accident.

17 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 03/02/2017

18 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 02/28/2017

After filling the fuel tank and pulling into traffic the car stalls which is very dangerous considering cars approaching or following you could crash into you . This happens each time I fuel up.

19 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 02/01/2017

After filling fuel tank the vehicle would sputter and stall at stop light. Although it would restart it continues this pattern of stalling at streetlights or coming to a stop.

20 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 11/15/2016

After filling up gas tank, vehicle will rapidly lose rpms and stall when stopped at lights or stop signs. I then put the vehicle in park and am able to restart it, but it will stall again while moving right after. This causes a loss of power steering which has almost caused me to crash multiple times. I only bought the car 12 days ago and it has done this multiple times. I have read the multiple other complaints, and have tried to fix the problem by replacing the pcm, but that did not work. Others have suggested replacing the gas tank because the stall could be caused by the vapor recovery system failing following refueling. I believe this issue is related to NHTSA action pe13016. The vehicle in its current condition is unsafe to drive as it will stall while moving and lose power steering. The problem first occurred on 11/7/16, and occurred again on 11/15/16, both times after I refueled. It will not occur if the gas is below 3/4 full. I replaced the pcm on 11/10/16, but that did not fix the problem.

21 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 11/02/2016

Charger is stalling frequently. After filling up with gas. Stalled and went into some safe mode where it wouldn't go into second gear. Stalled on the highway, side roads and while making a turn. While making the turn it stalled in the middle of the intersection while a truck was coming at us. I had my son in the car and we were stranded in the road. We could have been killed!! I have read up on this and it seams to be a faulty sensor at the gas tank fill up. Why has this not been addressed? sounds like you are waiting for someone to get killed before doing anything. Great company!!!.

22 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2016

Gas tank extended lifetime warranty. My car stalls after refilling gas tank. It dies at idle. It dies when moving! it is very dangerious situation!!.

23 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 06/20/2016

After filling my vehicle my car will stall and random intervals. Simply drive away from the gas station and the vehicle would stall so I'd start it and then continue to drive. This largely happened while I'm stationary so I wasn't very concerned until I had it stall while I was turning on to a street and almost got side swiped by an on coming car. This is extremely dangerous and should be dealt with by the company as they have acknowledged it as an issue and I have seen multiple people file complaints about this issue and nothing is being done. This in my opinion is more dangerous than the sir bag issue my vehicle has already had a recall for. Chrysler and Dodge has acknowledge the issue and stated it's a valve I can't recall the name of the specific part and having to replace the gas tank.

24 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 06/09/2016

After filling up gas tank drove off from gas station car stalled started car right back up drove some more and it stalled again started car right back up drove and once again car stalled this time I was in the middle of traffic very scary it almost caused me to get hit by other drivers , went online to see if anyone else has had this problem and found many other owners with the same issue with the exact same scenario, car is well maintained and runs great other then this issue.

25 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2016

Pulled in to gas station because my gas light came on with my wife and 3 of my children, one being only 1 year old, and a trunk full of fresh meats and fish from the market on a hot GA day 45 miles from home, put in $30 worth of gas which almost filled it up, went to start my car and it started jerking, clicking and shaking real bad before it just died. As scary as it was that this was happening I tried to start again and got the same result. With this kind of load and a baby on a hot day, broke and no other way home, I tried a few more times until it stopped turning over and just made a click sound, 1 click. A tire shop guy across the street seen I needed help, due to the baby now hungry and crying, came over to see if he could help. After trying to start again he said may be my battery, alternator or starter so he went to the parts store and got an h7 loaner battery. Once installed tried starting and again it started jerking, clicking and shaking real bad before dying. Another guy walked over to help, again due to the baby crying, and said that sounds like your fuel pump and said "I heard of people having problems with this when filling up with gas and they(dealership) have to replace your gas tank for free". I had to pay well over $100 for a tow truck and had to pay a complete stranger to follow me home with my family because there was no room in the tow truck for them. I've never had issues like this with my car but now as I'm researching for diy resolutions I'm finding that there are others who have had similar issues. This needs to be fixed immediately. I'm now out of money. I have 5 children and am the only one in my house working and this is my only means of transportation that I am still paying a note on. By the way, tried to start my car again and its still doing the same effing thing. Chrysler needs to do something fast!!!.

26 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2016

After refilling my tank with gas, my car suddenly began to stall. Immediately after refilling, I started my car and within a few seconds it shut off. After many attempts of starting it and remaining stationary, my car finally remained on for more than 5 minutes and I assumed it was safe to begin driving. 5 minutes into driving on a city street the car began to jerk and stalled in the middle of the street, fortunately it didn't cause an accident. I was able to restart it and turn into the nearest shopping center where I contacted chrystler, who claimed they had no knowledge of this issue. I've seen a multitude of complaints with similar, if not the same, issues I continue to experience.

Failure Date: 03/20/2016

After filling the gas tank up car stalls within minutes on busy hiway interstate and it fluids out where you are stuck in traffic ive had plenty of mechanics to look at the far and they cant detect the problem I need some assistance with this issue are I'm gonna end up causing a bad wreck with the issue of my car please contact me 2516441589.

28 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 12/04/2015

I was in the middle of an intersection, turning left, and my vehicle just turns off. Very unsafe for a car to turn off in the middle of driving. Luckily this didn't cause an accident. 2 other instances, I was turning out onto a busy street, pulling out of the gas station after filling up. It makes me nervous to put gas in the car and wondering when the car will die out. The shutting down of the vehicle happens after everytime I put gas into it. Its not an issue of overfilling the tank because I,ve been filling up a vehicle gas tank for over 20 years and have never had an issue. Even if I don't fill it up completely, this occurs. I have heard from many other people having the same issue with the same year Chargers. Others who have had this same issue have said its the vapor purge valve on top of the gas tank.

29 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 10/29/2015

After filling my gas tank my car stalled on the freeway. The next time I filled my tank my car stalled twice while driving on side streets. I have been told it is the vapor purge valve. I can only fill my tank partially or I stall. This is very dangerous.

30 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2015

When vehicle is filled to a full tank of gasoline, the car then stalls during short distances. The stalling occurs randomly and in the middle of traffic, this poses a serious safety risk to myself and any occupants in my car along with other drivers around me. I have read multiple reports of this being a common problem with 2006 Dodge Charger r/t's. I am not overfilling the vehicle, but I need this problem reserved as soon as possible before I am involved in an accident that is not my fault and due to my car stalling from a full tank of gas.

31 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 10/01/2015

Car shuts off after filling tank. Happens everytime I fill up. Mechanic says it has to do with the check valve.

32 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 09/20/2015

At 105000 miles I noticed this for the first time in September 2015 after filling it the car repeatedly stalled while in traffic, at a stop light and while going around a turn at slow speeds. Once the tank was around 3/4 full I noticed it stopping. It restarted, but caused me to stop in traffic and wait a second to put in n or p to restart and then back into gear. This is a real safety hazard and surprised it hasn't elevated to a recall. I thought it was bad fuel - the first time this happened, 2 fill ups later it still occurred leaving no check engine light for me to trouble shoot. That lead me to the internet and I found investigation pe 13-016 which sounds exactly what my issue is. I called the dealer to set up an appointment to get the recalled airbag fixed. I asked them to remedy this concurrently but they acted real stupid on the phone - I wanted to make sure the parts were on hand to fix it at this time. I hope they honor the extended warranty as I am the only owner and don't remember getting the letter sent to me on this matter. I am curious from this repair what they will not cover and if they will overcharge for other items that "they find". I am not exactly sure what they are covering under this extended warranty?.

33 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 06/18/2015

My 2006 Charger rt begins to stall out every time after filling up the tank. In fact, anything past 2/3 of a tank will cause this issue. The stall generally happens while at a stop sign or light, when the rpms are low. The only way to continue is to turn the car completely off and restart it while pumping the gas. If I am able to get to the highway and up to speed before stalling out the engine sputters and the rpms dip a couple of times before stabilizing. This only happens ~3-10 minutes after putting gas in the tank. I drive a 2006 Dodge Charger rt. It just recently passed the 100k mileage after a ~600 mile trip home to see the family. I've had this problem occur many times over the past 1-2 years and I am becoming worried that this may be a common issue. After a bit of research, I've found that this is actually pretty common with 2006 Chargers and feel that this is an issue that Dodge aught to address. Problems with the gas tank and evap system in this vehicle appear to be a frequent occurrence and can result in very dangerous situations. This has been a minor inconvenience as of yet but I'm concerned that this could cause very serious problems in the future, if they haven't already.

34 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2015

As I came to a complete stop, chimes when off in the car then the car just completely shut off. I restarted and car drove fine. The exact set of incidents happened several times a day over a course of a few months. I took the vehicle into a local Dodge dealer. After spending thousands of dollars getting, tcm, ecm, major tune-up, spark plug coils, sensors repaired the problem still persisted. I have had over three different repair shops attempt to diagnose this issue and no one could figure it out. I noticed that the problem occurred even more frequently after filling up at the gas station. Driving like this makes me feel very unsafe. This car has stalled numerous times in rush hour traffic and in freeway traffic. After reading several online threads it appears that other 06 Charger owners are experiencing the same issues and it tends to point to a faulty sensor in the fuel tank. I need this matter resolved. This is very unsafe.

35 Other Fuel System Tank Filling/charging problem

Failure Date: 01/25/2015

After filling tank 2006 Dodge Charger rt v8 stalled multiple times. First two still sitting at pump, next at intersection while turning right and also lost power sterering, next at parking space while straightening out. Serious safety hazard, especially at intersections or stalling in traffic. Found NHTSA pe13016 regarding this issue, but I see it is closed and was only issued to certain vins. All affected models should be covered for the tank replacement and associated 'float' and vapor purge valve.
