Tank Assembly Problems of Dodge Charger - part 2

After filling my car at the gas station, car would stall during acceleration immediately filling gas tank. It would choke or try to cut off when approaching a stop light or stop sign. Sometimes eventually shutting off in the middle of road, requiring multiple key turns to get vehicle started again.

After filling my car up with gas, I turned the car on so I could leave the lot. After it ran for about 3 seconds, the car completely stalled. I waited a moment or so, and then re-started the car. It did stay up longer this time, but eventually stalled out about a minute later. I restarted the car again, and was able to get out of the gas station lot. Once I pulled up to the light, the car then stalled out. On a fourth restart, I made sure to keep the car in motion as it seems to experience some sort of vapor lock. While the car did sputter, I was able to get to work safely. I only experience this issue if the car is fully gassed up. If I hear a hissing sound from the tank, I know that the car is not going to stay started.

Filled my car with gas, drive approximately 1/4 mile to a stop light and the car died. Restarted with no problem but died again when stopping at the next light, about 1 mile farther. . Restarted and drove very badly for the next 6 miles. . . Didn't do it again until I filled with gas. Took it to a mechanic and he said the error code was contaminated oil. I had recently had oil changed, but he changed it again and it didn't do it for a few months. It has now started ding it again, everytime I fill the tank with gas. . Am taking it to dealer tomorrow (11-2013).

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that after fueling the fuel tank more than half full, the vehicle stalled. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer for diagnosis but no cause for the failure was found. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure and current mileage was 70,000. Updated 6/4/13.

After fueling up/topping off to the first shut-off only, after pulling away from the gas pump, the car hesitated, stalled and failed to restart right away. It has been increasing this behavior from rarely to almost every time I fuel up - I am now at 171,*** miles. Last night I fueled up, drove about 300 yards and parked for the night. This morning the car failed to start. After about 6 attempts, I floored the accelerator while cranking and the car started. After pulling out of the parking lot where I was parked and onto the highway, he car sputtered/hesitated 4 times (kind of like a bucking bronco) about 70 yards down the road, with traffic catching up to me and then it settled back to its normal self. About 3 weeks ago, while traveling through tennessee, I fueled up, pulled into the street and approached a red light and I stopped at which time the car did its hesitation and stalled. I tried to start the car, but it would not start. I hit the 4-way flashers and I sat there for about 25 seconds before the car was able to be started again. I don't use cheap gas, I don't gas up at a station if I see a tanker truck filling the tanks (or pulling out of the station) and I stop filling after the initial shut-off of the pump. On a side note, since day one (Sep 2005), when gassing up, I have to rest the pump handle on the filler door, which ends up putting the pump handle upside down at about the 10 or 11 o'clock position depending on the padding of the handle. Any other position would cause the pump handle to click off almost immediately when trying to fill the tank. From what I have read on various Charger forums, I am not the only one that has had the above "problems". I am afraid one of these days this behavior will lead to an accident with somebody getting hurt or possibly even killed, either in a rear-end collision or a t-bone collision.

After filling up with gas the vehicle will stall out and die. Especially after a stop or making a sharp turn. If you fill the tank halfway or 3/4 the problem does not happen.

2006 Dodge Charger. Consumer writes in regards to design defect on gas tanks the consumer stated after driving the vehicle for a year, it started stalling without warning. It kept getting more and more frequent as time went by, but he never realized what was causing the stalling, until one afternoon he left the gas station, and as he turned onto a roadway, he tried to accelerate, and the vehicle stalled and another vehicle swerved to avoid him, but that vehicle crashed into another vehicle and then a tree. A police officer informed the consumer, his vehicle had a known defect with the design of the gas tank. After doing some research, the consumer read where the valve was molded in the gas tank, so raw fuel flooded the valve, stalling the engine.

The car stalls in traffic after it is filled with gas. This happen repeatedly and we took it back to the Dodge dealer who replaced the purge valve in the gas tank. This did not solve the problem, the car still stalls after filling the tank with gas and continues to stall and "stutter" until about 1-2 gallons are used. This problem is very much a safety hazard.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the vehicle would stall whenever he drove a quarter of a mile after refueling. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where the contact was informed that the roll over valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The current and failure mileages were 70,000. Updated 06/12/lj the consumer stated the valve only be replaced by replacing the gas tank. Updated 06/13/12.

Every time you fill up the gas tank the car wants to stall. I'm told there is a solenoid in the gas tank that fails and it lets raw fuel go to the evap canister causing a stall condition. This solenoid valve is molded into the gas tank and the only way to fix it is to replace the gas tank. This stall can happen while your sitting at a stop light or just pulling out into an intersection. The intersection situation is very dangerous.

Vehicle stalls after filling up with gas due to a faulty valve in the gas tank. Could cause a collision if the car stalls in front of on coming traffic. This problem is not only common to the Charger but to all Chrysler vehicles. The only solution is to replace the gas tank due to the fact that the valve is not serviceable.

The car bucked and acted like it was going to stall entering the freeway. This happened after filling up with fuel at the gas station. This condition has progressively gotten worst. When I fill up, I can only fill to approximately 3/4 full tank in order to prevent stalling when stopping or accelerating around a turn. Apparently there is a problem with the roll over valve on the top of the fuel tank. It stops working over time and allows raw fuel to enter the evaporative system that is only designed to handle vapors. This causes the bucking, stalling condition. This condition is extremely dangerous in traffic. This valve is not a serviced item and only comes with the fuel tank. The cost of a new fuel tank is about $800 + labor. Dodge should replace the tank for a minimal fee because of this defect. Please pursue before someone gets seriously injured or killed due to this issue.

I bought my 2006 Dodge Charger r/t brand new in June of 2006. I always filled the tank with gas until the pump automatically shutoff. I never topped off with gas or continued filling the tank once the pump would automatically stop. This was never a problem for 5 years. Last year in October of 2011 at around 73,000 miles the car would stall and turn off the engine occasionally right after filling up in live traffic usually at a stop light or parking lot driveway. I would have to put the transmission shifter from drive to park since the vehicle shut off and restart the car with no problem. Today at 75,600 miles on March 27, 2012; I filled up as usual and the car engine turned off in traffic on 3 different occasions. I read on Chrysler owners' forums online this is a common problem with plenty of Chrysler vehicles and Chrysler is aware of it. The fix is a whole new fuel tank with a better fuel vapor valve and the cost would run $1300-$2000 for various car, van, and truck owners. The only other method I was advised by a Dodge service advisor was not to fill the car up all the way, perhaps to 3/4 of a tank full. This is dangerous for any driver when a car engine stops, steering locks, and there is traffic behind you. Some drivers will not know how to react in this situation. Chrysler should offer a recall to fix this problem with the gas tank instead of charging the owner.

The engine stalls after I fill the fuel tank and leave the gas station . Usually this occurs within a block or so after leaving the gas station and it continues for several miles of driving. I do not 'top off' the tank, and I have mindful lately to not even fill up all the way if possible. This issue has caused several 'near accidents' when the vehicle stalls in the lanes of traffic. It causes me to be extremely cautious after filling up. I do not trust that I can any longer drive with other traffic after filling up, forcing me to drive on side roads/access roads for several minutes to minimize the possibility of an accident, in the event the engine stalls. I understand that this is a problem with the ventilation valve in the fuel tank and the only way to correct this issue is to have the fuel tank replaced.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that after refueling, the vehicle stalled while driving at unknown speeds. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer where it was found that the fuel tank and sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The failure mileage was 35,000 and the current mileage was 46,237. Updated 05/28/lj updated 06/11/2013.

Car engine stalls and die every time I fill up the fuel tank, dealer is telling me something bad with the rollover valve in the gas tank and they are charging me $1600 for the repair. I found on the internet forums a lot of people having the same issues. :-(.

We have had our 2010 Dodge Charger, vehicle I. D. #2b3ca3cv4ah197093 put in the shop for fuel system trouble. When we go to fill up the tank with gas no matter what the outside temperature is, it over flows all over the side of the car and onto the ground. We purchased the vehilce from dough grey. 1421 west third, p o box 1229, elk city ok 73648 and the phone number is 580-225-3005. We have had the car in the shop 2 times and called them again because the matter has not been resolved. They informed us that they can not help us in this matter. What can we do to get this problem resolved? our son is the one that purchased this vehicle for us and buys a lot of his company vehicles from this company. His name is brad cocheran and he works for champion drilling fluids, elk city, ok.

Charger r/t. Moderate to strong odor of raw gasoline when car comes to a stop. Intermittent but occurs more than 90% of the time. Started in oct 2010;still occurring. Usually worse the colder it is outside;after driving several hrs. & making an abrupt stop; & w/ 1/2 to 3/4 tank of gas. But, it has occurred when in the 50s outside;driving 20 ft. From driveway into garage and shutting off the engine, after car has sat for several hours without the engine running; and with a full tank or 1/4 or less of gas. Has occurred a couple of times upon acceleration, but almost always occurs when the car comes to a stop. The one time I smelled it the strongest though was after I backed into a parking space. I had been in another space with the engine off for about 30 minutes. I started the car and backed into a space further down in the lot, shut the engine off, and the odor of raw gas was very strong and seemed to be right underneath the driver's door when I opened it. Passengers in car have also smelled it. Myself and 2 other people have inspected the vehicle under the hood, and underneath while it was on a lift, but could not locate any leaks, broken or cracked hoses, etc. I took it to a Dodge dealership on 2/8/11 and they could not find the cause of it either. However, it never occurred on the way to the dealer. It was in the 20s that morning and I had between 1/2 and 3/4 of a tank of gas; normally "ideal" conditions under which it occurs. Problem did not occur until later that morning after leaving the dealership. I advised the dealership service adviser of all of the circumstances under which it occurs, on a typed document which I gave to him. My main concern is that since it is the gasoline fumes that are combustible, that it will eventually cause a fire. . Read more...

2006 Dodge Charger r/t. This has been going on for years, I read about others having similar issues and decided to contribute mine as well as it happened again the other day when I accidentally refilled all the way. When you fill the tank all the way, the vehicle stalls immediately and will continue stalling until the gas tank is no longer "completely full. " the only easy way to fix without taking something apart is to repeatedly restart the car until enough gas burns off. Even with taking care to not fill the tank all the way, going up certain hills seem to cause the stall as well. No check engine light, just power cuts off. One single chime from the car as the oil light turns on. You can restart it but obviously this is bad when it happens in traffic. Seems to stall most at stoplights and other idle conditions but can also stall in low speed scenarios. Never got fast enough to tell if it would happen there too. According to both independent mechanic and dealer, this is a valve inside the fuel tank which would require an expensive fuel tank replacement to fix - the mechanic said they had seen a lot of them, but there was no recall so it would be at my expense to fix.

Fill up with gas car stall numerous times is dangerous not always re start immediately needs gas tank because vent valve for evap system is bad con only be changed with new gas tank on other brand of cars you can change just the valve. Cost on this car aprox. 1350. 00 all Dodge and chryslers with 5. 7 litre do it.

During normal driving conditions, the fuel tank was punctured and a significant amount of gas streamed out of the tank. To the drivers and passenger's knowledge, no foreign objects were struck by the vehicle. During the subsequent repair by the dealer, it was discovered that the gas tank is made out of plastic, and the corner that was punctured was not protected by an additional shielding device.
