general problems of the 2006 Dodge Charger - part 1

My 2006 Dodge Charger r/t hemi 5. 7 has experienced multiple breakdowns in my transmission. Come to find out it is actually a Mercedes Benz transmission. Replaced multiple times after getting towed multiple times for transmission going out. Totally unacceptable.

On 3/10/2023 my vehicle suddenly starting trembling and shaking profusely! it terrified me severely. I immediately called my mechanic and it was towed in to be repaired. I was told it needed a tune- up. Towing, 3-direct ignition coils replaced, 6-spark plugs replaced and 1- fuel injection plenum gasket set replaced. Four weeks later on 4/16/2023 a warning sign of a backwards meeting parenthesis with a lightening bolt between to the two backwards parenthesis showed up on my warning lamp-electronic throttle control (etc) indicator symbol; causing my vehicle on shake, jump and stall as I was driving on 29s heading toward 70w towards baltimore to get home. I was able to drive to side of the road and my car completely stopped. A the horrific sounds of the traffic wizzed by me and my 12 year old child, I immediately called aaa, as we were in danger and severely terrified. We were finally picked up after 3 long hours!!!!! my car was the towed up the street from my home because the huge tow truck was unable to get directly in front of my door at that late hour. As I called aaa back the next morning to have my car towed to my mechanic shop, I was told I could only get 1 tow/ breakdown. I was totally in disbelieve after all we endured the evening/ night before. After explaining to a supervisor at aaa, she agreed that we had such a horrible experience the night before and adjusted the policy to accommodate my vehicle to be towed to my mechanic for repairs. This time, my fuel pump needed to be replaced and it has been. My vehicle still feels hesitate in its acceleration and as of today my engine light is on on my warning panel. I have been contacted by a nhts recall team agent and have been scheduled for an appt.

My Dodge Charger has 4 codes I can't figure out and one is a is a manufacturer code that popped up and lost connection to tcm and something to do with the fuel.

I've owned this car a little over a month. I filled up the gas tank today, after leaving the gas station the car stalled in the middle of a busy intersection. Thankfully no one was coming the opposite direction at the time before I could get the car restarted. At the next light it stalled again, and then was able to restart the car. I was able to pull into a parking lot to access any issues. Nothing looked wrong visibly. While idling the car stalled again. I researched the issue and found other similar issues with this year and make of the car stalling after filling the tank. This is a huge safety issue as there was no warning and the car completely stalled and had no function. If cars were coming at me in the intersection or I was on the highway which was the next exit, it could have been worse for me and others on the road.

The transmission console shift lever stays in park. The console shift lever will not go into reverse. Sunday morning my wife was on her way to church and found that the Dodge Charger rt transmission would not go into reverse. I tried it and she was right. My concern is if this happened while in traffic the vehicle could be rear ended or could cause a traffic night mare. My wife was in new hampshire as the driver of our car with three other ladies just prior to this problem. . She was about sixty miles away and if the transmission locked up there with the four of them they would have been stranded. The plastic shift lock out located in the console is a plastic piece and should be replaced with a metal or aluminum piece by a recall or at least a technical bulletin. The following is the current vehicle replacement shift interlock repair kit p/n 68088259ab. If any more information is required please feel free to contact me.

Every time I fill my car up with gas and drive off from the gas station into on coming traffic the car will stall in the middle of the road I almost got hit in the side just yesterday. I got online and did some research and found out that there is a problem with the gas tanks on these cars that cause them to stall after putting gas in them.

2006 Dodge Charger daytona r/t randomly stalls while driving or parked. No check engine light gets produced. In that split second that it shuts off, the car loses power completely and no brakes or power steering. This is extremely dangerous, and Dodge should issue a recall immediately to fix this issue. Most sources point to a faulty gas tank that has a lifetime warranty now but should be recalled.

When driving the car it will randomly turn off and then come back on with out having to restart it. It's like if you were to turn a light switch on and then off again, it's that quick. I'm talking about everything shuts down, the lights the radio the gauges everything and then sometimes it comes right back on. There has been some occasions where it doesn't come back on tho.

Drivetrain problems making noise is there a recall need help sometimes when I drive it kicks the gear.

My 2006 Dodge Charger rt will not shift out of park. This is a well known problem with 2006 Chargers and "some" 2006 models are covered under a recall "k39. " it seems like my 2006 Charger is one of the 2006 Chargers that isn't covered for some reason. I checked my VIN on your website and the recall doesn't show. This happened in my driveway. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

While driving the car loses power and slows down, the engine is running rough and when pulled over the side of the road, the car will not move at all. The shifter will move through the gears however the car will not move(automatic transmission). After turning the vehicle off and restarting the car runs normal until the next episode( occurred the last 3 times car has been driven). This is hazardous especially in traffic. Currently setting up appointment with Dodge dealership to address problem however no caution light is appearing on the dash. This malfunction happens at any speed on highway or city street.

Cannot shift vehicle out of park.

My car will not accelerate over 40mph. I went to the mechanics and it said that the transmission computer isn't functioning correctly. I looked up this issue online and this is an ongoing issue with these cars. I contacted Dodge they said since there is no recall then they can't do anything.

Two years ago I had to replace the engine while driving the car all the lights came on and it lost power while driving at approximately 40 mph. Yesterday while on the highway going 65 mph the car lost power. This is very unsafe especially on the highway.

Gear shifter frozen in park, release button did not work had to have car towed on flat bed air bag light still on even after air bag recall.

Transmission stuck in park, safety release switch does nothing.

Vehicle was parked in drivieway, partially blocking in other vehicles in garage, and automatic transmission shifter could not be moved out of park on the morning of 6/29/17, stranding vehicle from being moved by owner. I then looked online using google search and found problem listed under Chrysler recall of some 2005-2007 Charger/magnum/300 models, and found instructions on how to temporarily insert screwdriver into side of transmission shift lever assembly by removing one piece of trim, and was able to then drive over to darcars Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge rockville, maryland dealership to drop for recall repair. I left vehicle and then was told by service dept staff next day on 6/30/17 that my VIN number was not part of recall, and would cost me $510 out of pocket to replace the entire transmission shifter assembly rather than replace the small cheap plastic known Chrysler defect that has probably already happened to thousands of Chargers/magnums/300s. Lucky for me this did not happen in an emergency situaiton where I needed to move my car immediately to go to hospital, or avoid a flash fllood, hurricane, or tornado or the problem could have resulted in a total loss of the vehicle and possible injury or loss of life. In addition, I did more research and found the $16 part online needed to fix the problem, along with many videos on how to fix it yourself, and ordered it on 6/30/17 and had the car repaired myself at home on 7/2/17 a few hours after receiving the part in the mail. Chrysler should make this a recall for all affectred vehicles because the cost to repair it in parts and labor is very cheap, since I estimate they could do the same job in about 30 minutes and the part would only cost them maybe under $5. See attached recall and $16 part cost when ordered on amazon.

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.

About 6 months after started to get the lightning bolt . Then stalling with the lightning bolt while driving 55mph on the highway and in the city it also does it at stop signs and sometimes wont start back right away. . I have no codes no check engine light no warning. My dash lights and head lights flicker especially while driving. We tried everything to fix this I'm very scared to drive my car anywheres. . Please help figure out whats going on with these problems. We already replaced the computer, gas pedal, sensors and the engine. Mileage on the body 260000 on the second engine 63000.

Takata recall the suspension is shot. I am having to replace the my tires due to the bushings being junk and have ate my tires away on the inside down to the metal due to the toe positioning being incorrect. The control arms have been changed, but I am in fear the rear camber may be completely out. Also, sometimes my car does not want to turn over, but yet the battery, starter and alternator are fine. Also, my electrical system is a mess. I can't roll down my window unless I shut off my air or heat. Then when I turn on my air or heat all my interior lights go out. Plus, sometimes my tachometer doesn't want to work. I have replaced the engine and transmission, it is always maintained, but yet I feel like I am about to have to dump thousands of dollars into this cheaply made suspension. I have seen several Charger owners of the same year stating they have had these issues and if a recall can not be done then a class action lawsuit should be put into motion. I'm hoping Dodge will give us a chance to keep their customers, because at this morning I am ready to give up. I have always been a Dodge fan, but this time, on my favorite looking car, you all have dropped the ball!.

The last time I filled up my car, it kept stalling and I would lose power steering and brakes while in traffic with my children in car. Not very safe feeling. Scared I was going to get hit with family in car. It would start up but it would keep stalling until I ran a few gallons out of it. I filled it up again today and noticed a sucking noise coming from gas tank. It started up then stalled as I took off. So I pulled over and kept starting it up every time it stalled. After about an hour of not stalling I drove home and parked in garage. It would stall going straight and turning.

The Dodger Charger rt has been the worse vehicle I have ever paid for. My Charger is only at 80,000 miles and the Charger has been maintained properly. The transmission has issues with going over 50 mph and the engine now knocks. I am just siting here trying to figure out how a vehicle at 80,000 have this many issues.

2006 Dodge charges with 5. 7 hemi v8 - experiencing random stalling. Happens at any speed. Everything shuts off including the power steering and abs. First happened while merging onto freeway and I had to drive off the road to avoid a semi-truck. This happened with my young child in the vehicle. I had the gas tank, fuel canister, and purge valve replaced. The problem still occurs regardless of the amount of gas in the vehicle and regardless of when it was refueled. Even though this appears to be a common problem the dealership has been no help and even tried charging me for unnecessary diagnostics. Car does not flash a code so after replacing what was supposed to fix the issue, driving the vehicle is the only way to find out if it is fixed. This has lead to a few dangerous close calls. Please look into this issue before people get hurt because this is a serious problem. Thank you, jeff allen.

Car will not shift out of park when pressing the break without pressing the pink switch inside the gear shift. Similar recall on other cars, but not my VIN. Have to drive with the gear shift apart so I can shift out of park. The pink switch is broken. $400 repair required. Just lucky it broke in the driveway and not when my family was on a trip 2 hours from home.
