Engine Stall Problems of Dodge Charger - part 1

After filling up, my car engine stalls. I took it to the mechanic and was told Chrysler knows about it. I looked it up on your site and indeed found pe13016 but disagree with the finding being that it is a low safety issue. This has happened multiple times where I would be in the middle of traffic and the engine stalls and shuts off and the steering locks up where I can't steer the car whatsoever. The mechanic told me that it was due to a fuel vapor lock in which the evap valve stays open and due to it, the engine runs rich because of the fuel. I was told not to overfill in which I have stopped, however, this happens just by filling up. I have had to rev the engine to burn off gas until the engine stops stalling. Every time, I've stopped traffic in the middle of the road and it has happened at night as well where visibility is low and almost got hit because my car stalled. It has also happened right before turning in a busy intersection and thankful that it happened right before I made the turn. Every time it has happened I've been in motion on a city street and a few times on a highway but every time I was about to turn. The first time it happened, I didn't know and got the tow truck to tow the car and had the police to come behind me because in his words, I was in an unsafe location, so that no other oncoming vehicles would hit me. The date that I placed on when it happened is the last date it has happened thus far as of this writing.

Engine stalls several times immediately after filling gas tank. This is very dangerous because you loose steering and power brakes in traffic. The Dodge dealer says that it does this because there is gasoline in the vapor canister. I believe this is because something in the fuel tank is causing fuel to get into the canister where it does not belong. Changing the canister is not going to solve the problem. I am afraid to drive the car and I'm afraid to buy another Dodge or Chrysler.

While driving my 2014 Dodge Charger sxt on the freeway today (11/02/16) the engine stalled & I barely made it to the relative safety of the median to attempt to restart my car. After multiple attempts, it eventually restarted, however it stalled again shortly thereafter on the freeway & 3 more times once I got off the freeway. I just got it back from the dealership last week for the same problem (they claimed that they "updated" some software but couldn't replicate the problem). It is currently at the dealership, but I am concerned that I may not be able to safely avoid injury/damage if this problem isn't fixed & continues to happen. I have multiple photos & videos on my phone of this occurring & would be happy to email them.

Vehicle had a multi-system failure while driving away from a parking lot. Engine did not stall at first. Initially the steering became hard from power steering loss, "service awd" light came on, "service power steering" light was next, followed by brake system failure. Car was still a little driveable and then it stalled as I was stopping. This vehicle is very dangerous. Vehicle would not restart even though the button start system was telling me to step on the brake and push start. Waited 3 hours for a capable tow truck (due to the awd). During the wait, the car's instrument panel would come alive, the panel gauges would swipe one time and various noises could be heard as if the car was starting but nothing was going on. This car is extremely dangerous.

Vehicle stalls while in motion, engine stalls shuts itself off on start up or while in motion in traffic. Leaving me with no power to control the vehicle. This has been an ongoing problem for over a year starting in January of 2016. Dodge dealership cannot find why it stalls even though it stalled on them while they had it in there shop. The reason for the stall is unknown . Normal vehicle servicing is up to date but the car stalling continues to be a problem.

Takata recall - I never received a notification that I had a recall on my airbags - I will be looking into this shortly -- also, and more importantly, my engine stalls after I refuel -- there is no recall on this issue but apparently it happens a lot as I did see that there was an inquiry into this -- this just started to happen to my car in the last 2 years and so therefore it is out of warranty.

On 4 separate occurances while car in motion the car engine stalled and required restarting. Various speeds at time of stalls 5 - 45 mph. The first time it happened I was driving over a set of bumpy railroad tracks at which time the car engine stalled and had to be restarted in neutral. The other times I was on level roadway when car engine stalled and required restarting. The most recent incident happened 11/17/15 and the car engine stalled 2 times in one day at a speed of 45 mph. When turning the key to the right to start the vehicle it tends to hang up and get stuck in that position. I found that a recall was done on certain 2008 Dodge Chargers regarding ignition switch problems so I called to see if my vehicle was included in the recall. It is not included - this is a very dangerous problem and I travel a major interstate daily. I would like to have my vehicle included in the recall for the faulty ignition switch. I did have my car checked for indicator codes to see if there were any problems indicated and nothing found.

After filling up gas on my Dodge Charger 2006 rt, the engine stalls and stop while at the traffic stop. Tried to re-start the engine a few times but won't start. Waited 2 minutes and tried to re-start the engine it did start and was able to cross to traffic light and avoid holding the other cars behind me. But after a few at least a hundred feet, the engine starts stall again this time have to roll my car into the side road. Tried a few times to restart, engine but did not start. At that point decided to call for help and while waiting on the side road for 5 to 10 minutes, tried to re-start the engine again and this time around the engine steadied and runs normal as if nothing was wrong with it. I have research this type of engine stall and it seems this is common to my car model/year.

I got my fuel tank replaced under warranty (new fuel tank & o-ring part #s: cnstx531aa and cnstx532aa) and now stalling is worse than before. Engine wants to stall anywhere from 0-30 mph now whether the tank is full, half empty or near empty. The car's stalling can be prevented by providing quick acceleration, which will temporary fix the issue, only to have it come back later. The choice between stalling at high speeds and losing power steering & other necessities, or quickly accelerating to prevent a stall, leave drivers with two unsafe, dangerous choices each. The fuel tank recall did not remedy the issue. If anything, it made it worse, more dangerous, and made a minor defect/annoyance into a serious problem that can not be "burnt off" like the excess gas in the previous fuel tank. Dealerships give us the run around. Saying they either don't have the piece, or they refuse to replace it because we already have the new, yet still faulty, fuel tank. It's becoming a serious issue with no real remedy in sight. The dealership blames Chrysler/Dodge and Chrysler/Dodge blames the dealership. The two point fingers and scapegoat each other, leaving the customer to either replace everything out-of-pocket or drive a seriously impaired and dangerous vehicle. I went in to the dealership with two minor dtc codes that I planned on repairing (they were nonimmediate and not serious) and left the dealership with 15 codes. Chrysler even gave me a "case manager" for this, but the case manager said all they can do is rely on the dealership's diagnostics. . . Literally just a waste of time. Why even assign a case manager? I took the car in to replace the fuel tank since it was under warranty (aka free). . . I'm a college student with no finances for repair. Now, I'm left with a faulty, unsafe, nearly inoperable vehicle with no other means of transportation. Someone needs to step in.

After refilling the gas tank, the engine stalled several times with "bucking". The tank was not overfilled. After about 5 miles and several stalls, the condition went away and did not reoccur until I gassed up at a different station two weeks later. Again the tank was not overfilled. Internet search indicates that this is being investigated as pe13-016. Prior to this there has been no similar incidents. Others have had similar issues.

Right after leaving the gas station from filling up my cars' gas tank my engine stalled when I came to a stop on a very busy intersection. I was able to start it again but it turned off on me again, repeated the process twice until the light changed and I was able to make it home. Drove around my neighborhood making multiple stops to see it if happened again in which the engine only turned off once more.

Engine stalled after startup or @ low speed several times, some times after fuel topoff and engine light /electronic throttle control light came on.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger rt. The contact stated that on multiple occasions, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle was able to be restarted after several attempts. Additionally, gasoline would sporadically spill from the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the check valve was causing an overflow condition. The vehicle was later taken to an authorized dealer, who diagnosed that the check valve, evaporation canister and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 90000. . . Updated 05-09-14 . . . . Updated 05/15/14 the consumer stated the vehicle stalled at a highway speed, and another instance of fuel spilling from the tank during fill-up resulting in a spill at the gas pump/ the consumer stated he was forced to stop re-fueling at about 15-18 gallons to avoid the situation. Updated 05/15/14.

Every time the vehicle gas tank is filled, the engine stalls shortly after driving away. It requires several cranks of the engine to get started again. After the engine is restarted, driving /idle is rough for some amount of time before returning to normal. This happens all the time. This is very dangerous as the car stalls on me in traffic and merging on to the freeway after filling up at any gas station.

Was pulling into a gas station and the engine stalled. Went to start it and would not start had it towed to a dealership and they replaced the starter. As soon as it started up there was a knock on the engine. As the mechanic claimed it's "rod knock" and claimed that the oil was never replace. The place that I bought it from did the oil change and have proof they did it. The engine ran fine before hand and no longer operates correctly.

Engine stalls after filing up with gas. It happens at low rpm typically when approaching a traffic light or stop. Once driving for a while it stops happening. Most times it will restart right away. On one occurance I was stuck on a very busy road with truck traffic and it would not start for a few minutes. This happened once to me in the past but now it's happening after every fill up.

I have a 2006 Dodge Charger r/t with a 5. 7 hemi. On several occasions, the engine has stalled when I was stopped at a stoplight. The car was in drive and stopped with my foot on the brake. After putting in into park, it would take several tries to get the engine started again. It also stalled once while coasting into my driveway. I was traveling at less than 5 mph with my foot on the brake. Again it was hard to restart.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger xt. The contact stated that the engine would stall sporadically after the vehicle was refueled.

The vehicle was not repaired or diagnosed. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 108,000.

Engine stall after refuel. In researching this issue, NHTSA #pe13016 addresses the problem. However, I have yet to receive any documentation that allows repair of my vehicle. Dodge states my vehicle isn't covered.

Engine stalled out while driving on freeway after filling up with gas. Three different occasions dropped valve seats, 8/2011 and 9/2013.

On or about 03 October 2013, the engine (5. 7l hemi) stalled going at 30-35 mph. The engine service light came on, but disappeared when I restarted the engine. Since that day, I have experienced multiple engine stall incidents (about 10 times) usually at a traffic stop being idle or approaching a stop, and during reverse. In November, while cruising on a highway, the engine acted as if to stall again with all the lights and chiming on the evic on and off, but did not stall probably due to the momentum or inertia. At that time, I had my entire family (size of four) with me in the vehicle and feared for their safety. I went to multiple Chrysler dealers and service centers, but could not prevent the problem from reoccuring again. It appears from my online research and reading other complaints on NHTSA website that the symptoms I am experiencing are probably consistent with the faulty sensor in the fuel tank.

I had just filled up my car and was pulling out of the gas station when my vehicle stalled in the middle of the roadway. My steering and brakes cut out as a result of the engine stalling. I try to continue to drive about 150' down the road when it stalls again. I finally pull over, restart the engine and let it burn off some gas before continuing. Every time I have filled up my take the problem reappears. If I don't fill up my tank I have no issues.

This has happened multiple times and seems to be increasing in frequency. When at idle, for example at a traffic light or in stop-and-go traffic, the engine has stalled. This happened again last night as well as this morning and it has me concerned. I have read that others complain of this happening with a full tank but that is not true for me. I never have over-filled the tank and even with it being a little over 1/2 full currently and it has stalled twice. I've found the active investigation (pe13016) and would like to be added to that group please. Please let me know what else I can provide to help with this investigation and possible resolutions. Thanks!.
