1 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem of the 2006 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 12/23/2013

When gas tank is filled, car will stall a few blocks later. Dodge says the sensor in the gas tank is faulty and causes the system to suck gas backwards through the vapor recovery lines and deposit it into the engine, flooding the car. All power is lost to power steering, brakes, and drive train. If you are turning when this happens, it is very dangerous and will cause a crash. Total loss of control over the vehicle. Dealership and Dodge/Chrysler acknowledge the danger (I have the emails to prove it). They say it happens all the time and they will only help with fixing the problem if you (NHTSA) asks them to recall the cars. Note that the sensor inside the gas tank is the problem. The part can be replaced, but Dodge only sells the entire gas tank as an assembly, causing increased cost on those of us that experience this problem. We all asking you (the government) to help keep us and our families safe by requesting Dodge recall vehicles and replace this defective design. There is no way a simple vapor recovery sensor inside the gas tank should cause the gasoline to flow the wrong direction, resulting in a stall that produces complete loss of control over the vehicle. It is worse when performing turns (u-turns) or at turns. This is a danger to pedestrians, as the driver does not expect sudden loss of all power steering and brakes. The gas station's fuel pump cut off after accurately filling the tank and stopped when full. The tank is not over-full. It's a defective design (admitted by Dodge) that causes gasoline to be sucked up in the wrong direction, flooding the engine compartment with excess fuel. Please assist the taxpayers by keeping us safe and recalling the vehicles with this design to get the parts replaced with ones that will never fault out in the same manner.

2 Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problem of the 2006 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 11/10/2011

Approximately 1 month ago, this problem started to occur; after fueling up the vehicle will start to stall randomly and continuously. No matter while stopped at a light or travelling at highway speeds. After looking the problem up on the internet, I discovered that there has been thousands of people having the same problem with the same make/model vehicle, along with similar model vehicle, as I am. Apparently this is a manufacturer defect that they are aware of but do not want to fix the problem or recall it to have it fixed. From what I have been reading on the internet the problem is occurring in the fuel tank, where the fuel control valve on top of the fuel tank (only serviced with the tank), fails and allows raw liquid fuel to enter the evap system. A short time after start up, the pcm actuates the purge solenoid to purge the vapors from the canister. Since there is raw fuel in the canister and lines, the result is an overly rich mixture that floods the engine, causing the engine to stall. I am trained and employed law enforcement officer in the state of florida and am well trained in reacting to high stress incident to include with high stress driving and believe this is what has avoided any crashes to occur while I am in control of the vehicle. I believe someone may over react or not know how to react to this situation and may become involved in a serious crash causing serious bodily harm or possibly death without a immediate recall on this problem. Which again Dodge is well aware of the design/manufacturer's defect. Any assistance in recalling this defect immediately would be greatly appreciated on my behave, but without immediately recall could cause someone to become injured or a loss of life. Any questions feel free to contact me.
