2 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2015 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 04/25/2019

Attempted to start car and nothing happened when start was pushed. Lights and radio worked. Message on panel said press on brake and push start but still nothing happened. The lights on the gear shift began flashing red, the wipers began operation even though they were off. The key fobs would no longer work. I had to have the vehicle towed to a dealer, which stranded me 4 hours from home in 0 degree weather. The dealer could not get to it for 3 days and when they did- it started with no problem and no code errors came up. The dealership actually told me that they think it was due to the extreme cold temperatures. I guess Dodge can only be driven in a warm climate. Now it did it again last night. At least I was only 30 mins from home. I went back this morning and it started right up again but the engine light is on. This time it was 65 degrees. Something is terribly wrong with this vehicle. It seems from searching the internet that a lot of Chargers have this issue but there is no recall on my car to have it repaired.

I was driving on the expressway at 60mph when all of a sudden the alternator light came on and the car rapidly decelerate from 60 to 19 mph. I smelled burning smoking smell and had to quickly get out of the middle lane and to the right to get off the expressway. I turned off the air conditioning even though it was a 100 degree day and the car regained a tiny bit of energy and continued forward at 25 mph. I managed to get it the few miles home but was smelling burning smoke the whole time. I could have been killed instantly when it shut down in the middle lane of the expressway.

6 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2012 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 02/17/2015

Driving 55 mph on highway in my 2012 Dodge Charger,I began to smell oil burning, looked down and noticed that the car was running at the highest temperature, 264 degrees. Thankfully I was close to a reputable garage close to my home. I parked the car there, asked for a gentle man to assist me, and once the car cooled enough to open the hood, he took a look. He noticed that the hose leading from the coolant reservoir to the engine was completely sucked in, and the coolant reservoir was filling with oil. Upon inspection from dealership I was informed that the engine needed to be completely replaced due to metal shavings and debris found in oil pan.

7 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2010 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 03/01/2014

A week after purchasing my 2010 Dodge Charger sxt 3. 5l . . . I developed vibration/shaking during idle until about 900 rpm's. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and cylinder 1 was misfiring. Cylinder head, gasket, exhaust manifold were replaced. Then went the egr valve, that was then replaced. The shaking is still current and I am able to not get any answers. There has to be a recall that is not being announced. I have read many people having the shake issue on their same model and year as well.

8 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2006 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 12/18/2013

When temps. Were cold less than 25 degress the accelerator would would stick at 4,000 rpm. I could put my foot under the gas pedal and lift it up to a normal idle. The throttle is electronically controlled. Here in michigan with more than 90" of snow this season an accident was waiting to happen, very unsafe. I told the dealer what was wrong and I expected a repair $495. 00 parts and labor. I called Chrysler customer service 4 days of conversation got me nowhere. I paid a $99. 50 for diagnoses and took it elsewhere. The gas pedal assembly was replaced. Apon a under hood inspection the connector that plugged in the front of the air itake was removed, throttle plate actuator. When I drove it in I could accelerate, my 6 mile ride home had a top speed of 20 mph and 2 dash lites were on. I went to kevin [service write up] and he just blamed it on the gas pedal assembly. . . Wrong. The gas pedal assembly has no sign of damage, rust or anything to cause this problem.

9 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2006 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 11/19/2013

After filling up with gas this morning, as I accelerated away from the gas station the car began to buck and jerk. It smoothed out for a little while, then after accelerating away from the next stoplight it jerked and made a loud noise. This is heavy suburban traffic, so very stop-and-go. The car began to stall, and only restart if I depress the accelerator all the way to the floor while starting. Go a little bit further, then buck and stall again. Very dangerous! I'm learning through online vehicle forums that this is a relatively common problem with this year/make/model vehicle's gas tank and the integral "roll-over" valve which is supposed to prevent liquid fuel from entering the engine, yet the manufacturer refuses to acknowledge a faulty design that is leading to potentially dangerous situations. Will it take accidents, fires and death to make it a higher priority?.

10 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2006 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 05/17/2013

Vehicle stalls after refueling and pulling out of the gas station (into traffic). Then, it is hard to start and sputters and stalls for some time. It appears to be an issue with the fuel tank vent valve failing to shut off when the tank if full. This allows raw fuel to enter the evaporation system which probably ruins the evaporation canister as well. The fuel tank vent valve is integrated into the fuel tank so, the fuel tank has to be replaced in order to fix the primary issue. Other components in the evaporation system may need to be replaced as they were not designed to have raw fuel in them.

11 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2007 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 05/07/2013

This is regarding a 2007 Dodge Charger srt-8. The vehicle was functioning normally when I was suddenly unable to accelerate in stop and go traffic. The traction control and electronic throttle control (etc) warning lights illuminated and the vehicle began "sputtering" as I tried to accelerate. I exited at the next available off-ramp and came to a stop at which point the engine shut off and I was unable to start it again. I had it towed to the nearest Chrysler/Dodge dealership/service center and after about a week I was informed that the #2 cylinder had 0 psi compression. They said they had to open the engine to get further information as to why it had no compression. After opening the engine, they found that the valve seat for the #2 cylinder was warn and needs to be replaced. Given that this vehicle only has 70k miles on it, I believe this failure is premature. There were absolutely no signs of degradation in vehicle performance leading up to this incident. I use this vehicle to commute to work about 35 miles each way, everyday. I take very good care of the vehicle and service it regularly if not earlier than the recommended mileage/time.

12 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem of the 2006 Dodge Charger

Failure Date: 07/04/2009

I purchased my 06 Dodge Charger r/t 5. 7l on 12/24/07. I am the 2nd owner. I was told that the 1st owner traded because he needed a minivan. I have learned since purchasing the vehicle that was probably not the case. Approximately 3 months after I purchased the vehicle, I was traveling at 35 mph when the engine began to sputter and the car began to shake violently. It acted as if it was running out of gas (it had 1/8 tank). I filled up and the problem quit. Later that day I was on the way home from the beach traveling at 75 mph on the interstate when the same problem occurred again. I had to quickly pull over in heavy traffic. I called a tow truck and had to wait almost an hour with it 105 degrees outside! after it was towed home, it cranked fine. I took it to the dealer who said that they could find nothing wrong; I must have purchased bad gas. It happened again about a month later. I managed to drive it home when it finally completely stalled. Upon cranking, it would shake violently, red line, back fire, then shut off. I took it to the dealer again. It did not throw any codes. They inspected my vehicle and drove it around town and could never duplicate the problem. It has since happened on at least 3 separate occasions and the cause still remains a mystery to me, the Dodge dealership, and 2 private mechanics. I am thankful that my 5 year old son has not been with me any of the times that this car has left me stranded! it's an accident waiting to happen!.
