2006 Dodge Charger Electrical Problems

Your car is stalling unexpectedly while stopped at lights or stop signs, and sometimes jerks like it's about to stall while driving on the highway. This creates a serious safety risk, especially in traffic with larger vehicles behind you. Multiple diagnostic codes are appearing (U0100, P0700, and others), and the problem persists even after replacing the engine control module. The underlying cause appears to be a widespread issue affecting 2006 Dodge Chargers that may require diagnostic testing or replacement of fuel system and ignition components.

Your car's PCM (the computer that controls the engine) failed suddenly, causing your vehicle to shut down without warning while driving. This left you stranded in traffic with a non-running car. A technician confirmed the PCM was faulty, and you've found this is a common problem with this model. The fix will require replacing the PCM unit.

Your car is stalling at unpredictable times, and the problem is happening more often. You've had it diagnosed at three different shops, which found error codes P0700 (transmission control issue) and U1000 (communication network problem), but none of them could identify the root cause. The stalling is likely related to an electrical or transmission communication problem that requires further diagnostic work to pinpoint.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that the vehicle would start after the second attempt. Additionally, the contact stated that the vehicle shut off while driving from a complete stop. Several unknown warning lights were illuminated. The contact was able to restart the vehicle and continued driving. Additionally, the contact stated that the failure occurred while driving at various speeds. The contact was able to veer to the side of the road. The contact restarted the vehicle and continued driving. The contact also stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle jerked and shuddered. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that there was a communication failure to the transmission. The independent mechanic cleaned the throttle body; however, the failure persisted. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 125,000. The VIN was not available.

Car will stall and not start after filling with gas. After awhile car will run but shut off randomly. This can happen while driving. Car has been stuck at intersections and will stall even doing highway speeds. All lights will appear on dash engine car will lose all power. Small ding before it dies.

MY 2006 DODGE CHARGER RT V8 5.7 KEEP STALLING AFTER I PUT GAS IN AND SHUT OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING AND WHEN I PULL OVER AND IT START RIGHT BACK UP I'M REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT MY SAFETY BECAUSE IT DONE THAT MULTIPLE TIMES ON MY WAY TO WORK AND AFTER WORK

IT CUTS OFF WHEN I'M DRIVING IT SLOWS DOWN AND I HAVE TO TRYIN GET OVER .AND IT TAKES ALMOST A 1.5 HOURS BEFORE IT CRANKS BACK UP. THAT CAN CAUSE A CAR CRASH. *TR

1-FUEL SYSTEM AFTER FILLING UP WILL CHOKE ITSELF OUT AT SLOW SPEEDS OR IDLING-2-ENGINE CUTS OUT GOING 40-80 MPH JERKS AND CUTS OFF AND BACK ON SOMETIMES ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND OTHER TIMES NOT 3- ISSUES WITH TURNING CAR COMPLETELY OFF HAVE TO PUT BACK INTO GEAR THEN PARK AGAIN TO TURN OFF 4- AT TIMES WHEN PUTTING INTO PARK MY BRAKE LIGHT COMES ON. I THOUGHT I DID GOOD ON THIS CAR BUT NOW I'M BEGINNING TO THINK I'M IN OVER MY HEAD ALL OF THIS HAPPENS ON AVERAGE EVERY OTHER DAY. ONE OR ALL THINGS HAPPEN INTERMEDIATE. *TR

EL VEHCULO PRENDE Y CORRIENDO SE APAGA, LO QUE PODRA OCACIONAR UN ACCIDENTE. THE VEHICLE IS ON AND RUNNING SHUTS DOWN, WHICH COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. *TR

TRAVELING I-5 AT 65 MPH WHEN THE CAR LOST ALL POWER. NO RESPONSE IN GAS PEDAL, ENGINE STUTTERED. PULLED OFF FREEWAY AND PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. WAITED FOR AROUND 10 -20 SECONDS THEN RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THEN ALL POWER AND DRIVEABILITY CAME BACK. THIS IS THE 5TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED FOR THIS CAR AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENTLY. TOOK THE VEHICLE IN TO HAVE IT PUT ON A DIAGNOSIS. CODE IS P0016. CRANK SHAFT POSITION, CAM SHAFT POSITION CORRELATION/BANK 1 SENSOR A. ALSO CODE P0128. THERMOSTAT RATIONALITY TEST. *TR

WE WHERE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE CAJUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.

HEADLIGHTS AND DASH RANDOMLY FLICKER AND SHUT OFF WHILE CAR IS ON AND WHILE DRIVING. TESTING INDICATES THE PROBLEM IS IN THE HEADLIGHT SWITCH OR WIRING TO THE SWITCH. WHEN HEADLIGHT SWITCH REMOVED, HEADLIGHTS ARE IN ALWAYS ON MODE, AND THERE IS NO FLICKERING OR SHUTTING OFF. HEADLIGHT SWITCH MODULE HAS BEEN REPLACED AND STILL FLICKERS WITH NEW SWITCH/KNOB. DEALER UNABLE TO FIND AND FIX ISSUE DUE TO INTERMITTENT NATURE OF PROBLEM. SEVERE PROBLEM WHEN DRIVING AND NIGHT AND LIGHTS TURN OFF. PROBLEM ALSO IS IRRITATING AS IT LOOKS LIKE I AM FLASHING MY LIGHTS AT OTHER VEHICLES.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY LIGHTS TURNED OFF MY HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS HAD TO HOLD MY BRIGHTS ON BECAUSE THEY WOULDNT STAY ON BY THEMSELVES, MY DASH SPEEDOMETERS HAD KEPT GOING UP AND DOWN AS IF MY CAR WAS DYING ALMOST HIT A DEER DUE TO NO HEADLIGHTS AND DRIVING AT NIGHT.

I TOOK MY 06 CHARGER IN FOR AIRBAG RECALL AND WHEN I LEFT THE DEALER MY CAR SHUT OFF AT EVERY LIGHTS AND SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF GOING 40 50 MILES AN HOUR. IT CONTINUES TO DO THAT MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY. I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET ABOUT SO MANY OF THE 6TH GENERATION DODGE CHRYSLER PRODUCTS DOING THIS EXACT SAME THING. I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY A PROBLEM THAT CAUSES YOU TO STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY INTERSECTION IS NOT ADDRESSED. FIRST IT START TELLING ME THAT IT WAS ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL PROBLEM, THEN IT'S NOW TELLING ME THAT IS A PROBLEM BETWEEN THE THROTTLE CONTROL MODULE AND THE ECM. THIS HAPPENED EXACTLY ONE MINUTE AFTER I LEFT THE DEALER GETTING MY AIRBAGS RECALLED. IT STALLS AT WHEN STATIONARY, WHEN MOVING, IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET, AND EVERY COUPLE MINUTES. I KNOW I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS PROBLEM BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY NOTHING IS BEING ADDRESSED.

I HAVE 2 PROBLEMS. FIRST WHILE DRIVING ALL MY WARNING LIGHTS WILL FLASH ON THEN GO RIGHT OFF. ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS MY CAR WILL TURN OVER AND SOMETIMES START BUT DIE IMMEDIATELY. ONCE I GET IT STARTED IT WILL GO FINE FOR A WHILE BEFORE DOING IT AGAIN. BY THE LOOKS OF MY RESEARCH BOTH PROBLEMS ARE PRETTY COMMON IN 2006 CHARGERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. UPON PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ROYAL BUICK GMC (815 W AUTO MALL DR, LOT A, TUCSON, AZ 85705, (520) 777-1149) WHERE IT WAS SERVICED AND REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A BANK INSTALLED A LOJACK DEVICE ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST BECAUSE OF THE DEVICE ATTACHED TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

WHILE WAS TRYING TO TURN INTO PARKING SPOT MY CHARGER SUDDENLY DIED. WHEN TURNED THE CAR BACK ON WAS ABLE TO START RIGHT BACK UP. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING MORE WHEN TRYONG TO TURN THE WHEEL ALL THE WAY FROM A STOP POSITION OR MOVING. HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT A FEW TIMES WHEN IT JUST STOPS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WITHOUT WARNING. EAST CAROLINA CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (3401 S MEMORIAL DR, GREENVILLE, NC 27834, (888) 848-5262) WAS NOTIFIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MULTIPLE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND WAS NOT BEING DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

-THE SUNROOF WILL NOT ALWAYS CLOSE ALL THE WAY. IT WILL REOPEN ITSELF UPON EXITING -MY CAR STALLS OFTEN WHENEVER I ACCELERATE, IT SEEMS THE GAS HAS TO "CATCH UP" THIS UNCOMFORTABLE/UNSAFE.) HOME. ALSO, IT IS EMBARRASSING FOR MY CAR TO 'CONK OUT'. - I AM CURRENTLY BROKEN DOWN DUE TO THE FUEL PUMPS' INCORRECT ASSERTIONS OF GAS. DISAPPOINTED ANDNEED ASSISTANCE TO REPAIR SAID ISSUES. THANK YOU

MY SON'S CAR CAUGHT FIRE AFTER HE HAD PARKED IT FOR THE NIGHT. AFTER 10 MINUTES HE WAS CALLED AT HIS APARTMENT BY A FRIEND WHO TOLD HIM HIS CAR WAS ON FIRE. THERE WERE NO WARNING SIGNS WHATSOEVER. NO WARNING LIGHTS, UNUSUAL SMELLS, OR HINTS OF IMPENDING DOOM FOR HIS CAR.

TRANSMISSION AND CAR COMPUTER ARE NOT WORKING TOGETHER PROPERLY, MAKING THE TRANSMISSION SHUT OFF AS I DRIVE THE CAR. CAN HAPPEN AT A RED LIGHT, IN THE HIGHWAY, EVEN WHEN IT'S PARKED. BROUGHT IT TO SEVERAL MECHANICS NO ONE COULD FIX IT. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIM NO OPEN RECALL BUT YET THE CAR ONLY HAS 89K MILES. WAS BUILT WRONG OFF THE LINE IF YOU ASK ME.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING

THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH CAUSES THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LIGHTS TO FLICKER WHEN DRIVING. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN CAR HEATER IS ON OR DRIVING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. I HAVE A VIDEO OF THE ISSUE AND SHOWED IT TO CERRITOS DODGE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BUT THEY DIDNT ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE.

THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM WAS DEFECTIVE AND FAILED TO RECOGNIZE A PASSENGER WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT SEAT DURING A CRASH. AS A RESULT, THE PASSENGER'S AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY IN A SEVERE FRONTAL IMPACT COLLISION. THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A SEVERE, DIRECT FRONTAL IMPACT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE IMPACT WAS SEVERE, DEFORMED FRAME RAILS AND WAS DIRECTLY FRONTAL. THE DRIVER'S AIRBAG DEPLOYED, BUT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE PASSENGER, AN ADULT FEMALE, WAS BELTED BUT HER HEAD HIT THE DASH IN THE AREA OF THE AIRBAG FLAP AND SHE SUFFERED FATAL HEAD INJURIES. THE ECM WAS DOWNLOADED AND REVEALED THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM HAD FAILED TO RECOGNIZE A PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. THE EPROM DATA READ "FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANT CLASS: UNDETERMINED" EVEN THOUGH AN ADULT FEMALE WAS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AT THE TIME OF THE CRASH. INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT TRW AUTOMOTIVE U.S. LLC AND KELSEY-HAYES COMPANY ARE THE SUPPLIERS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM AND RELATED PARTS THAT FAILED. SEE ALSO ODI 11002482. *DSY *BF ** *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL FAILURES THAT PROGRESSED WITHIN MONTHS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING INDICATORS AND GAUGES FLICKERED. WHEN THERE WAS A LOSS OF POWER, THE DOORS WOULD AUTOMATICALLY LOCK AND WERE UNABLE TO OPEN. IN ADDITION ,THE BRAKES FAILED TO FUNCTION PROPERLY WHEN APPLIED. AN UNKNOWN DEALER REPLACED THE BRAKES AND THE PINION PINS TWICE DUE TO THE WHEELS ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE BEING AFFECTED DUE TO THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES AND THE CONTACT WAS WAITING TO DETERMINE IF THERE WAS AN OPTION TO TRADE IN OR BUY BACK THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY CAR'S ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR WITHIN THE SAME WEEK FROM A USED CAR DEALER. IT NOW AFFECTS MY HEADLIGHTS BY MAKING THEM FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR HAS BEEN IN AND OUT OF THE SHOP FOR THE PAST YEAR AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIND THE ISSUE. THERE IS A PAST TIME DEVICE INSTALLED WHICH INTERFERED WITH THE SECURITY SYSTEM. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK OUT THE SECURITY SYSTEM AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER THE ENGINE STALLS BEGAN. ENGINE STALLS OCCUR WHILE DRIVING OR STOPPED AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS. IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY BUT NOT OFTEN. THE HEADLIGHTS HAPPEN EVERYDAY AND IS GETTING WORSE. THE VEHICLE IS BECOMING UNDRIVABLE BUT NO SERVICE TECH CAN FIND THE ISSUE.

THERES SEEMS TO BE A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WHICH CAUSE THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TO COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN AND LIGHT TO FLICKER WHEN DRIVING. USUALLY HAPPENS WHEN CAR HEATER IS ON OR DRIVING FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME. DEALER WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE ISSUE VERY KNOWN PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET BOARDS WITH CHARGER OWNERS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING UNKNOWN SPEEDS OR WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE STALLED. ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING INDICATORS FLASHED AND THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY RESTARTED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,981.

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT. THE LIGHTS WILL FLICKER AND THE GAUGES WILL GO TO THE MAX AMOUNTS AND THEN BACK TO ZERO. THE CAR RESTARTS AND RUNS FINE AFTER THIS HAPPENS, BUT IT KEEPS REOCCURRING.

CAR SHUTS DOWN COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON ALONG WITH A RED LIGHTING BOLT. WENT TO DODGE DEALERSHIP & THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS NO CODE CAME UP. THEY DID REPLACE FUEL TANK FROM A PREVIOUS RECALL. GOT CAR BACK & IMMEDIATELY STALLED AGAIN. CARRIED CAR BACK & THEY RAN DIAGNOSTIC WHILE DRIVING & CODE CAME UP TO REPLACE COMPUTER. REPLACED & PROGRAMMED COMPUTER & CAR IS STILL DOING IT. DODGE STATES THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AFTER IT WAS REFUELED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 190,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. UPDATED 05/04/17*LJ *CN

WHEN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR STALLED LIKE IT WAS LOOSING POWER AND THE STARTED BACK LIKE EVERYTHING WAS FINE THE CAR STARTED DOING THIS MANY TIMES WHILE DRIVING ALSO WHEN AT A STOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHTS IT WILL JUST DIE MOST THE TIME IT WILL START RIGHT BACK UP OR MAY TAKE A FEW MIN AND WHEN SITTING IN PARK THE OIL LIGHT COME ON AND JUST BEEPS NON STOP THE INTERIOR LIGHTS ALSO WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING. *TR

DASHBOARD GUAGE SO AND HEADLIGHTS LOSE POWER.

THE CAR STALLED WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT ABOUT 50-55 MPH. EVERYTHING WENT OUT. EVENTUALLY THE CAR STARTED. NOW, WHEN I STOP AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN IT STALLS OUT. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED A WARNING LIGHT AND I HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED WITH A COMPUTER. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON THE DASH INDICATING THERE IS A PROBLEM.

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER THAT SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. VEHICLE HAS 97284 MILES. I CURRENTLY HAVE THE VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIR AT PHILLIPS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP IN OCALA FL. THE PCM HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT THIS ISSUE STILL CONTINUES. VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WITH OUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,352. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

HORN STARTS BLOWING WHILE CAR IS TURNED OFF AND NO KEYS IN THE IGNITION AND DRAINS THE BATTERY. MOST RECENT WAS SUNDAY JUNE 5TH 2016 AT APPROXIMATELY 2AM WHILE I WAS ASLEEP IN BED. THE NEIGHBORS WERE NOT HAPPY.

WHILE DRIVING MY HEADLIGHTS, AND PARKING LIGHTS FLICKER LIKE A CHRISTMAS TREE OR SOMETIMES JUST GO OUT, FOR A FEW SECONDS. I NOTICE THIS HAPPENS IN THE COLD WEATHER ESPECIALLY.

TL* TAKATA RECALL. THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, ANOTHER VEHICLE CRASHED INTO THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE FRONT SEAT PASSENGER SUSTAINED INJURIES TO THE RIGHT ARM AND THE DRIVER SUSTAINED A BACK INJURY THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER,THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL BOX OVERHEATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 15V313000 (AIR BAGS); HOWEVER, THE PART TO DO THE REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200,000. VIN CONFIRMS PARTS NOT AVAILABLE.

MY DASH LIGHTS AND GAUGES INSIDE ALL FLICKER OFF AND ON AND DROP TO ZERO. THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT LOOSES POWER, IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AND NOBODY SEEMS TO HAVE A FIX. FOR IT, NOT A DEFINITIVE ANSWER. MY OUT SIDE LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER ON AND OFF AS WELL, BUT I REPLACED MY LIGHT SWITCH AND IT FEELS LIKE THIS IS JUST A TEMPORARY FIX.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

SEVERAL TIMES WHILE IN MOTION, THE DASH LIGHTS BLINK AND POWER IS LOST. SOMETIMES IT WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AND SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT MOVE. ON OTHER DAYS IT RUNS JUST FINE. THERE ARE NO CODES THAT FLASH AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT STAY ON EXCEPT FOR WHEN THE DASH LIGHTS ARE FLASHING. A SIMPLE SEARCH WILL VERIFY WITH MANY OTHER PEOPLE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALOT. IT IS NOT THE FUEL TANK PROBLEM. IT HAPPENS WHILE STILL AND HAPPENS WHILE IN MOTION. A WHILE BACK I WAS TRYING TO CROSS A BUSY INTERSECTION AND IT HAPPEDEN AT THAT POINT. IT HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR A WHILE SINCE ABOUT 50,000 MILES AND WE ARE AT 80,000 NOW.. IT STAYS PARKED ALOT FOR BEING 10 YRS OLD.

I HAVE COMPLAINED ON THIS VEHICLE MULTIPLE TIMES NOW. IT CONTINUES TO HAVE A RANDOMLY STALLING ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT IS NOT THE GAS TANK. IT HAS FINALLY STARTED CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON (YAY! IT MIGHT ACTUALLY GET FIXED). JUST KIDDING! THE DEALERSHIP STATES THAT THE CODES THAT SHOW UP ARE GENERAL PCM CODES THAT MEAN NOTHING. FROM ONLINE RESEARCH, IT APPEARS IT MAY BE AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THE PCM, ECM, OR NUMEROUS OTHER PARTS. EITHER WAY, MOST OF US GO WITHOUT CARS FOR WEEKS WHILE MECHANICS CANNOT FIND THE ACTUAL CAUSE THUS CANNOT FIX A DANGEROUS VEHICLE. MOST OF US DON'T WANT TO DRIVE VEHICLES THAT STALL WHILE GOING 40 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE AT A STOP SIGN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINES NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 250,000.

WHILE DRIVING, ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP SIMULTANEOUSLY AND THEN GO DARK (ALL OF THEM). AT THE SAME TIME, ALL THE GAUGES DROP TO ZERO, BOUNCE TO THEIR MAX AND THEN DROP TO A NULL STATE AGAIN. AFTER THIS BLINKING EVENT HAPPENS A FEW TIMES, ALL OF THE MONITORING SYSTEMS AND GAUGES RETURN TO A WORKING STATE. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE DRIVEABILITY OF THE CAR (BRAKES, TRANS, ETC. ALL STILL FUNCTION). THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED, IT CAUSED GREAT CONCERN FOR SAFETY, AS WELL AS SIGNIFICANT DISTRACTION WHILE UNDER WAY. THE ORIGINAL DATE AND MILEAGE ARE ESTIMATED.

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.

MY CAR IS SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE CHECKED NUMEROUS FORUMS AND MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS COULD RESULT IN A FATALITY. I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF THE POWER STEERING WENT OUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO START THE CARE AGAIN UNTIL I GOT IT BACK IN PARK. IT HAS HAPPENED 2 TIMES NOW.

WHILE DRIVING FROM POINT A TO POINT B APPROXIMATELY 17 MILES, THIS VEHICLE STALLED 7 TIMES. MOSTLY STALLING WHILE AT A LIGHT IT HAS INCREASED TO WHILE DRIVING AS WELL. ONE TIME SPECIFIC IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION CAUSING A BACK UP IN TRAFFIC AND NEAR ACCIDENT. WHILE UNDERSTANDING THIS ISSUE HAS MAINLY BEEN INVESTIGATED AND REPORTED AFTER FILL UP, THIS INSTANCE IS NOT. THIS IS A DAILY ISSUE THAT DEMANDS ATTENTION. MECHANICAL TECHS CANNOT FIGURE OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS EVEN AFTER REPLACING THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO MY RESEARCH THIS APPARENTLY HAS HAPPEN ENOUGH WITHOUT RESOLUTION BUT HOW MANY CLOSE CALLS ARE GOING TO TURN TO FATALITIES BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? IT SHOULDN'T HAVE TO COME TO INJURIES OR WORSE FOR THIS COMMON PROBLEM TO BE RESOLVED. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *TR

2006 DODGE CHARGER STALLING OUT WHILE IN MOTION CUTTING OFF. STALLS OUT AFTER FILLING TANK FULL CUTS OFF HARD TO START BACK .CUTS OFF MULTIPLE TIME WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC . LOOSES POWER LIGHTS ON DASH DO NOT LIGHT UP . *TR

MY CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN SITTING IN TRAFFIC ALSO CAR DOES NOT CUT BACK ON UNTIL AFTER 3 TRIES ITS ALSO SHUT OFF AFTER U PUT GAS IN THE CAR IN STALL AT IDLE IT ALSO SHUTS DOWN SOMETIME WHILE DRIVING I HAVE A DAUGHTER WHO IS ONLY 6 THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR CALL TO SHUT OFF IN TRAFFIC I'M SCARED DON'T NO WHAT TO DO OR WHY I'M HAVE IN THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS PROBLEM STARTED ABOUT A YEAR AGE. AT FIRST IT WAS ONCE EVER 3 MONTHS NOW IT HAPPENING MORE OFTEN. ON 1/14/2014 AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE CAR STALLED NEARLY BEING REAR ENDED ON THE EXPRESSWAY. THIS PROBLEM GETTING WORSE AND WORSE EVERYTIME. THIS PROBLEM IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE'S LIFE IN AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON 1/1/2015 AND IT JUST CUT OFF AND WOULDN'T CRANK BACK, I WAS GLAD I WAS TURNING ON MY STREET, AND THE BACK RIGHT E- BRAKES CAME APART AND TORE UP, WHEN I ALSO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN THE STEERING SECTION MAKES A FUNNY NOISE, AND THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL NOT CUT OFF. I AM ON DISABILITY AND RECEIVE VERY LOW INCOME OF $721 AND I AM TAKING CARE OF TWO CHILDREN OUT OF THAT AND I AM 59 YEARS OLD, SO CAN YOU ALL PLEASE HELP ME GET MY CAR BACK ON THE ROAD, PLEASE. *TR

THE HEADLIGHTS ON MY CAR STARTED FLASHING ALMOST EVERY TIME I TURN THEM ON, AND THIS IS FORCING ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. IT STARTED WITH A FLASH ON 12/2/2014, AND NOW IT OCCURS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT COULD BE ANYTHING IN THE FRONT END CAUSING A SHORT AND HAVE CHECKED FOR RECALLS BUT THIS IS NOT A DETERMINED RECALL AT THIS TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NO HELP AND WANTS TO CHARGE EXTRA MONEY JUST TO LOOK AT IT. CONSIDERING I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER DRIVERS WITH THE SAME MAKE/ MODEL/ YEAR VEHICLE IN CAR FORUMS AND BLOGS REGARDING THIS VERY SAME ISSUE, I'M HOPING THIS REPORT WILL HELP PUSH FOR AN INVESTIGATION AS I HAVE TO DRIVE FOR MY EMPLOYMENT AND DO NOT WANT TO GET A TRAFFIC TICKET FOR FAULTY EQUIPMENT. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY CAR LIGHTS WENT OUT. THE CAR JUST DIED ON ME IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. DODGE SHOULD FIX THIS ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. *TR

CAR LOCKED IN PARK IN THE DRIVEWAY. WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLICKERED FOR 2-3 SECONDS THEN ALL LIGHTS AND GAUGES SHUT DOWN THIS INCLUDED THE HEADLIGHTS AS WELL. WHILE DRIVING 55 MILES PER HOUR THE CAR SHUT ITSELF OFF I WAS IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT THE TIME. CAR IS NOW AT THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THEY CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM. I STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH DASH LIGHTS FLICKERING AND THE CAR STOPPING. DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE ELSE IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM BUT THE CAR WILL ALSO SURGE FORWARD AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED LIKE I HAVE STEPPED ON THE GAS BUT MY FOOT WOULD BE ON THE BRAKE. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND IT SCARES ME TO DEATH. THESE ARE SAFETY ISSUES THAT NEED TO BE CORRECTED BY THE MANUFACTURE. DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THESE ISSUES AND HAVE DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT THE PROBLEMS. THIS WILL BE THE LAST DODGE I PURCHASE EVEN THOUGH I LIKE TO BUY AMERICAN MADE. AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE WITH SO MANY COMPLAINTS. I WILL BE CALLING DETROIT WITH THESE ISSUES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T DAYTONA. I NOTICED A LURCH IN THE VEHICLE YESTERDAY AS I WAS COMING HOME FROM WORK AS WELL AS THE SPEAKERS TURNING OFF/ON. THIS MORNING AS THE VEHICLE WAS IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT, THE DASHBOARD TURNED OFF, VEHICLE CHIMED AND ALL GAUGES WENT TO ZERO, BUT THE VEHICLE WAS STILL RUNNING AND WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT DISPLAYING ANY INDICATION ON GAUGES. AFTER ABOUT 10-15 SECONDS, GAUGES RETURNED TO NORMAL AS IF THE VEHICLE HAD RESTARTED. HAPPENED TWICE WITHIN 20 MIN WHILE VEHICLE WAS IDLING IN TRAFFIC. NEVER DID IT SEEM THAT THE ENGINE HAD SHUT DOWN. *TR

ALL OF THE LIGHTS LIGHT UP AND THE NEEDLES MOVE UP/DOWN ON THE DASHBOARD INTERMITTENTLY FOR LIKE 3-4 SECONDS AND NORMALLY DOES THIS TWICE CONSECUTIVELY AND THIS APPEARS TO HAPPEN RANDOMLY. *TR

VEHICLE JERKS WHILE DRIVING AS IF SOMETHING IS STARTING TO DIE OR GO OUT, THEN STARTS RUNNING AGAIN. ONLY APPEARS TO HAPPEN AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK TO COMPLETELY FULL. VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT WITHIN SEVERAL FEET AFTER FUELING UP, THEN RESTART AND YOU'RE GOOD TO GO. YOU DRIVE MAYBE AN EIGHTH OF A MILE AND AS YOU SLOW TO A STOP, THE CAR WILL STALL OUT AND DIE AGAIN. USUALLY FINE FOR THE REST OF THE EVENING. VEHICLE EVENTUALLY SHUTS OFF WHEN I COME TO A NEAR STOP OR AM STOPPED. OIL LAMP LIGHT TURNS ON WHEN THE CAR DIES. TRIED RESTARTING TWICE, BUT WAS UNSUCCESSFUL. TOOK THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION, THEN WAITED A FEW MINUTES. TRIED TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN AND WAS SUCCESSFUL. IT SEEMS EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE LIKE THIS, BUT IT SEEMS I HAVE TO DRIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BURN OFF SOME GAS TO KEEP THE GAS TANK UNDER FULL AT ALL TIMES TO AVOID THIS PROBLEM. *TR

SINCE 4-7-14 THRU 7-16-14 THE DEALERSHIP HAS REPLACED TWO FUEL TANKS ( ACCORDING TO EXTENDED LIFETIME COVERAGE LETTER DATED MAY 8,2014), O2 SENSOR, TRANSMISSION MODULE,SPARK PLUGS, IGNITION COILS AND DISCONNECTED THE REMOTE STARTER. THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AND SHUTOFF. *TR

CAR DIED IN INTERSECTION. HAPPENED TWICE. IT STALLS, CHOKES AND DIES THEN HAS PROBLEMS RESTARTING TAKES ABOUT 3-4 TRIES THEN RESTARTS. VERY DANGEROUS AND ACCIDENT CAUSING. *TR

I LEARNED ABOUT THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY AND WILL BE GETTING THAT REPAIRED, BUT MY ISSUE IS AT 75 TO 100% THROTTLE MY CAR WILL STALL OUT. BUT MY CAR STARTS BACK UP ON ITS OWN LIKE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. WHEN IT STALLS IT THROWS YOU FORWARD LIKE THE CAR IS BRAKING AND THEN WHEN IT FIRES BACK UP YOU CAN HIT THE THROTTLE AND IT WILL GO AS NORMAL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET IT WAS NIGHT AND MY LIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OUT I COULDN'T SEE IT STILL DOING IT AT NIGHT GOING OFF. *TR

WE WERE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND WE SLOWED DOWN FOR TRAFFIC. WE WERE GOING ABOUT 25 MILES AN HOUR WHEN WE GOT HIT FROM BEHIND. THE CAR WAS GOING 40 TO 50 MILES AN HOUR. THE WHOLE DASH - STEREO AND ETC CAME APART BUT NEITHER THE DRIVER OR PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED?? I JUST BOUGHT THE CAR FROM A DEALERSHIP IN SEPTEMBER 2013 SO EVERYTHING SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN WORKING ORDER. *TR

YOU CAN BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, AND EVERY THING N THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF LIKE YOU TURNED THE KEY OFF, AND BE TRAVELING AT SPEED AND SPEEDOMETER GO TO 0 ALL GAUGES INTERIOR LIGHTS DASH CLUSTER I MEAN OFF, AND COME BACK UP LIKE YOU JUST GOT IN AND TURNED THE KEY BUT SPEED COMES TACH COMES BACK UP ALL YOUR DASH LIGHTS PRESTART LIGHT UP, OIL TIRE PRESSURE ALL YOUR COMPUTER TEST SAFETY WARNING LIGHTS AND DOOR DING, IT MIGHT DO IT 5 OR 6 TIMES SOMETIMES STAY OFF LONGER COME BACK FOR A WHILE AND ITS DONE IT 20 30 TIMES AND THE MOTOR STILL RUNNING AND I BELIEVE LIGHTS STILL WORKING , 1 TIME I WAS LEAVING WORK AND USED THE MANUAL SHIFT MODE AND SHE STUMBLED AND JUST LAID DOWN WENT QUARTER MILE IT LIT BACK UP, THAT CONCERNED ME AS WELL AS THE SHUT DOWNS OF ALL INSTRUMENTATION, UP N DOWN AND I DON'T GET QUITE AS CONCERNED AS THE FIRST 35 TIMES, BUT WIFE DRIVING IT TO WORK AND IT DONE IT SHE WASN'T FEELING NEAR AS FUZZY AS I HAD BECAME AND HER BOSS HAD ONE SAME YEAR SAME COLOR GOMANGO HE TOLD HER HIS DIDIT TO, JUST WONDERING IF SOME SOLUTION HAD COME ABOUT OUT OF QUANTITY, CAUSE I KNOW HOW ALL OF THEM ARE ABOUT FESSING UP AND DOING A RECALL TO FIX THEIR DEFECTS IN ENGINEERING PROBLEMS DESPITE THE PRICE WE PAY FOR A NEW ONE? AND THEY STILL OWE ME DOOR GUARDS THAT CHANGED COLORS A YEAR AFTER I BOUGHT IT, LOOKED BAD, BUT JUST HAD GOT FLOOR CARPET THAT FIT AND COULDN'T SEE METAL UNDER DOG HOUSE SO I LET UM SLIDE AND THIS ALSO THEY DISMISSED? OH AND HELL YEA IM MAD ABOUT MY 2004 DODGE DULLY DASH BREAKING ALL TO CRAP AND THE DAM CLEAR COAT COMING OFF LOOKS LIKE I OVER PAID FOR THAT TRUCK? *TR

CAR STALLS OUT AND LOSS OF POWER WHILE STOPPING FOR STOP LIGHT. OIL LIGHT COMES ON AFTER STALLING OUT BUT NO ENGINE LIGHT OR FAULT CODE SHOWS UP. CAR USUALLY STARTS UP RIGHT AWAY BUT DOES TAKE A COUPLE OF TRIES AT TIMES. CAR ALSO JERKS AROUND LIKE STARVING FOR FUEL. HAD A TUNE UP DONE, FUEL SYSTEM CLEANED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SHOP COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS VERY DISCERNING TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY DUE TO SAFETY. A CAR THAT STALLS FOR NO REASON OR WARNING IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN TODAY (OCTOBER 19TH, 2013) WITH NO WARNING WHILE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN AT A MAJOR INTERSECTION. FILLED UP EARLIER TODAY WITH NO TOP OFF. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES PRIOR SINCE (MAY 2013). DEALER CAN NOT DIAGNOSE. NORMALLY HAPPENS AFTER FUEL FILL UP. AFTER COMPLAINING MULTIPLE TIMES TO THE DEALER, REPLACED ALL SPARK PLUGS AND PERFORMED A TRANSMISSION FLUSH AND RE FLASHED THE PCM AT MY EXPENSE, DESPITE HAVING WARRANTY COVERAGE THROUGH 2015 120K MILES BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT REPEAT THE PROBLEM ON A 5 MINUTE TEST DRIVE. THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN TWO DAYS LATER. AFTER MORE VISITS NO SOLUTION HAS BEEN MET AND THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY UNSAFE. *TR

THIS HAS BEEN AN ON-GOING PROBLEM THAT WE'VE BEEN CHASING FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE CAR WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING, USUALLY WITHOUT WARNING SOMETIMES THE GAUGES WILL DROP AND THE WARNING "DING" WILL SOUND. MOST OF THE TIME THE CAR WILL RESTART, HOWEVER THERE HAS BEEN INSTANCES THAT IT HAS TO SIT FOR AWHILE BEFORE RESTARTING. IN ANY CASE, IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN SINCE IT WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING. I'VE HAD IT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS ON CITY STREETS. THERE ARE TIMES IN WHICH WE HAVE TO RESTART THE CAR MULTIPLE TIMES IN ORDER TO GET THE GAUGES AND HEADLIGHTS TO TURN ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE TAIL LIGHTS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS DON'T WORK EITHER. IT IS CLEAR THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH THESE CARS, I HOPE DODGE TAKES CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMERS AND RESOLVES THE ISSUES THAT ARE OCCURRING BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR STALLED AND HAD TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER IN AUGUST 2012. THIS AGAIN HAPPENED MAY 2013. THE LAST INCIDENT OCCURRED SEPTEMBER 21ST PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT. THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AFTER EACH OCCASION. *TR

A QUARTER OF THE WAY THROUGH MY TURN TO ENTER I-10 MY CAR COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND SHUT OFF OUT OF THE BLUE WITHOUT WARNING!! I HAD TO COAST ACROSS 3 LANES OF TRAFFIC PRAYING MY SON AND I WOULDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT. ONCE ON THE SIDE OF THE RODE I TURNED THE KEY OFF, WAITED A SECOND THEN TURNED IT AGAIN TO HAVE THE CAR START RIGHT UP AND BE FINE THE REST OF THE WAY HOME. THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. RESEARCH HAS REVEALED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WHICH NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSES BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!! STRONGLY URGING NHTSA TO LAUNCH AN INVESTIGATION INTO DODGE/CHRYSLER. *JS

MY CAR HAS HAD MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES WHERE I AM SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT IN TRAFFIC AND THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. THIS USUALLY OCCURS AFTER I FILL THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY FULL AFTER A TRIP TO THE GAS STATION. MY CAR HAS ALSO DONE THIS WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED UP TO 70 MPH WHILE TRYING TO PASS ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE CAR ACTUALLY "COUGHED" THEN JUST SORT OF STALLING, SUDDENLY STARTED PERFORMING NORMALLY. THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED SO MANY TIMES AT STOPLIGHTS IN TRAFFIC THAT MY WIFE IS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT ANYMORE. MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER HAS INSTALLED TWO DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULES IN THE CAR IN AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. I HAVE NOTICED THAT SINCE I HAVE STOPPED FILLING THE GAS TANK COMPLETELY FULL THAT THE STALLING HAS STOPPED. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY GOING 60MPH IN THE CENTER LANE DURING BUSY TRAFFIC AND IT WAS DARK, THE VEHICLE JUST SHUT COMPLETELY OFF. I ALSO HAD A MY 14 MONTH BABY IN THE CAR. THERE WAS LOST OF POWER, STEERING WAS LOST. I HAD TO SHIFT IT IN NEUTRAL AND GLIDE TO THE SHOULDER LANE ALMOST BEING HIT BY A TRUCK. I TURNED THE KEY OFF AND TRIED TO RESTART THE CAR, AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS THE CAR STARTED, WHEN I SHIFTED IT IN DRIVE AND PROCEEDED TO TRY AND GET BACK ON THE ROAD IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THE ENGINE, ABS, TRACTION CONTROL & ELECTRICAL LIGHT WAS ON. I TRIED RESTARTING IT AND IT STARTED AND DROVE LIKE NOTHING HAD HAPPENED, EVEN THE LIGHTS WERE NO LONGER ON. I TOOK IT TO THE SHOP AND THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND TRIED TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULDN'T HELP ME AND SAYS THAT UNTIL IT HAPPENS AGAIN THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE SAME THING, THEY SAID THAT THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS HAPPENING. THEY SAID THEY WOULD KEEP MY VEHICLE AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS GOING ON, IF THEY DON'T FIND ANYTHING THAN THEY WOULD KEEP IT AND TRY TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND I COULD BE WITHOUT MY CAR UNTIL THEY FIGURE IT OUT. SINCE THE FIRST INCIDENT IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEASE 10 MORE TIMES. I RESEARCHED IT ONLINE AND THERE ARE MULTIPLE CASES OF THIS HAPPENING WITH CHRYSLER VEHICLES. THERE IS NOW AN INVESTIGATION ONGOING BUT UNTIL THEN MANY OWNERS HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS PROBLEM OR GO WITHOUT THEIR VEHICLE. MANY HAVE SAID THAT IT HAPPENED AFTER REFUELING THEIR CAR, FOR ME IT HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OF TIMES AFTER REFUELING, BUT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE IT WAS AT 1/2 AND 1/4 TANK. A REALLY BAD ACCIDENT TO INCLUDE SERIOUS INJURIES AND OR DEATH TO THE DRIVER CAN HAPPEN AND WHAT WILL HAPPEN THEN? BEFORE THIS OCCURS SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE IMMEDIATELY AND THE COMPANY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO CORRECT HIS ISSUE. A RECALL NEEDS TO BE ISSUED IMMEDIATELY! *TR

AT LEAST THREE TIMES MY 5.7 LITER HEMI HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. IT HAS ALWAYS STALLED AT LOW SPEEDS (I.E. UNDER 35 MPH) AND SOMETIMES AS SLOW AS 15. EVERY TIME IS HAS OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING FROM STOPLIGHT TO STOPLIGHT WITH A LIGHT THROTTLE APPLICATION. IT HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST ONCE AFTER FILLING UP. I ALSO DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS RELATED, BUT PROBABLY BETWEEN 6-10 TIMES NOW WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS (50-70 MPH) THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD (I.E. TACH, SPEEDOMETER, ENGINE TEMP, AND FUEL GAGE) ALL DIE. WHAT HAPPENS IS THEY ALL SEEM TO LOSE POWER, ALL NEEDLES FALL TO 0, OR THEIR TURNED OFF POSITION, THEN ONCE THEY HIT THE STOPS THEY ALL POWER BACK UP AGAIN, SWING BACK TO WHERE THEY WERE, ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON, AND THEN EXTINGUISH AFTER A COUPLE OF SECONDS. THIS ENTIRE TIME THERE IS NOT CHANGE IN SPEED, OR THE ENGINE, WHEN I AM IN CRUISE CONTROL, THIS DOES NOT SEEM TO AFFECT THE CRUISE CONTROL. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT 60MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY WHEN THE ENGINE QUIT WITH NO WARNING CAUSING THE CAR TO LOSE ALL POWER IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. MY CAR WAS NEARLY HIT SEVERAL TIMES BY OTHER CARS AS I TRIED TO CHANGE LANES IN ORDER TO REACH THE EMERGENCY LANE ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY. I RESTARTED THE CAR WITH NO PROBLEMS. THE CAR ENGINE HAS QUIT FOR NO REASON SEVERAL OTHER TIMES WITH NO WARNING IN THE LAST YEAR WHILE DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. THE MANUFACTURER NEEDS ISSUE A RECALL, OR BE LIABLE FOR ANY LAWSUITS RESULTING FROM ACCIDENTS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE FUEL SYSTEMS IN THESE VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER TURNING THE KEY IN THE IGNITION, HE HEARD A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE. THE CONTACT INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND SAW THAT THE BATTERY HAD EXPLODED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT UNHOOKED THE FAULTY BATTERY AND REPLACED IT WITH A NEW ONE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED BY A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 105,000.

WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AT 55 MPH ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF AND RESTART WITHOUT TURNING THE KEY. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING. WHILE DRIVING OFF THE LOT VEHICLE STALLED AND STARTED BACK UP AGAIN WITHOUT TURNING THE KEY. DEALERSHIP HAD IT FOR TWO WEEKS. FELT THAT AFTER MARKET STARTER WAS CAUSING THE ISSUE. DOING IT AGAIN 3 MONTHS LATER WHILE DRIVING WOULD SHUT OFF BUT NOW YOU MUST PULL OVER AND PHYSICALLY TURN THE KEY TO RESTART. WILL DO IT AT ANY SPEED.

I TURNED MY KEY OVER AND THE BATTERY EXPLODED. BOTH CAPS WERE BLOWN AGAINST THE FIBERGLASS LID IN THE TRUNK. BATTERY WAS SPLIT ACROSS THE FRONT AND SIDE. BATTERY ACID COVERED THE UNDERSIDE OF THE TRUNK AREA. WHITE ODORLESS SMOKE CAME OUT OF THE TRUNK AREA. *TR

I TURNED MY IGNITION KEY TO START THE VEHICLE AND HEARD AN EXPLOSION IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I OPENED MY TRUNK WITH THE KEY BECAUSE THE VEHICLE LOST ALL ELECTRICAL POWER. I DISCOVERED THAT THE BATTERY HAD EXPLODED AND SPRAYED BATTERY ACID IN THE TRUNK AREA. THE TRUNK WAS FILLED WITH WHITE SMOKE AND SMELLED LIKE CHEMICALS. MY PROPERTY INSIDE THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT ALSO HAD A STRONG CHEMICAL ODOR TO IT. AFTER LOOKING AT THE BATTERY, IT APPEARED TO HAVE EXPLODED FROM THE REAR AND THE MAIN THING THAT KEPT IT FROM SENDING ACID SOAKED DEBRIS WAS THE NYLON STRAP THAT HOLDS THE BATTERY IN PLACE. I AM WORRIED THAT THE ENTIRE INTERIOR OF MY VEHICLE IS NOW COATED WITH ACID FUMES/POWDER FROM THE EXPLOSION. I SPOKE WITH HUNTINGTON BEACH DODGE AND THEY SAID I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL COSTS OF REPAIRS BECAUSE THE BATTERY ONLY HAS A 12 MONTH/12K MILE WARRANTY. I UNDERSTAND THAT A BATTERY GOES DEAD, BUT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND A BATTERY EXPLODING! MY 2 CHILDREN WERE NOT IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME OF THE EXPLOSION, BUT WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN THE INJURY TO MY KIDS IF THEY WERE THERE? BATTERY ACID IN THE FACE AND EYES, ACID SOAKED DEBRIS STRIKING THEM OR HEARING LOSS FROM THE EXPLOSION? I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH DRIVING THE VEHICLE OR HAVING MY CHILDREN IN IT. MCPEEK DODGE IN ANAHEIM REPLACED THE BATTERY AND CLEANED THE TRUNK AT A COST OF $250.00 (20% DISCOUNT THEY SAID), BUT STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE REASON FOR THE INCIDENT. *TR

THE ABS, BRAKE AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS CAME ON. THEN WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES YOU WOULD FEEL A VIBRATION. THE BRAKES DO NOT VIBRATE ANY MORE BUT ALL THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2007 CHARGER FOR THIS BUT NOT THE 2006. *TR

IN JULY 2011 I BROUGHT MY 2006 CHARGER SXT TO THE DEALER FOR A REAR HARNESS (THE ONE FROM THE FUSE BLOCK TO THE BRAIN BOX) REPLACEMENT DUE TO A GATOR AID INCIDENT (ANOTHER STORY) IT WAS REPLACED DUE TO THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GAUGES GOING TO ZERO WHILE DRIVING AND ALL THE DUMMIE LIGHTS COMING ON WITH ACCELERATION DIMINISHING. NOW THE PROBLEM IS BACK. I REALLY DON'T WANT IT TO HAPPEN WHILE I'M ON THE FREEWAY AND A SEMI COMING DOWN ON ME. WHILE RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IT SEEMS THAT I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IS DODGE GOING TO WAIT ON A FEW MAJOR ACCIDENTS TO HAPPEN BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS CLEARED OR IS BIG MONEY MORE IMPORTANT THAN SAVING SOMEBODY'S LIFE. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 M.P.H. ON THE FREEWAY, ALL ENGINE LIGHTS CAME ON AND THE NEEDLES ALL DROPPED. THEY QUICKLY RETURNED TO NORMAL AND THE ENGINE DID NOT FALTER, RADIO DID NOT GO OFF, ETC. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF 2 MONTHS AND I TOOK IT TO THE STATION WHERE THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG. ABOUT 2 MONTHS LATER, THE HEADLIGHTS BEGAN TO FLICKER ON AND OFF, SOMETIMES FOR 10 SECONDS OR MORE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR ABOUT 4 DAYS. I CHECKED ALL THE FUSES AND THEY APPEAR SECURE. THE CAR IS CURRENTLY BACK AT THE STATION TO BE CHECKED AGAIN. AS IT IS DECEMBER, I CAN'T BE WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS ON MY MORNING AND EVENING COMMUTE TO/FROM WORK. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER R/T. ON 6/3/11, I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 45MPH WHEN THE ENGINE DIED AND I LOST ALL POWER. THE CAR COASTED FOR ABOUT A QUARTER MILE BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO COST IT OFF OF THE ROAD. THIS WAS A TWO LANE ROAD WITH A VERY SMALL SHOULDER. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ONLINE, IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MANY DODGES (ENGINE STALLING AND VEHICLE LOSS OF POWER) WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT DODGE SHOULD CORRECT. *TR

I OWN A 2006 CHARGER 3.5L. I AM THE SECOND OWNER. MY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS CAR'S SYSTEM ISSUES BEGAN AROUND 31K MILES WHILE STILL UNDER WARRANTY AND HAS CONTINUED UNTIL EVEN RECENTLY. THE CONSENSUS AMONG REPAIR FACILITIES IS THAT IT COULD LIKELY BE THE COMPUTER UNIT WITH THE SECONDARY CONCERN BEING THE POOR WIRING HARNESSES THAT DODGE IS KNOWN FOR. THE ISSUES ARE AS FOLLOWS: - ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON WITHOUT WARNING AND FLASH CONTINUOUSLY FOR 10-15 SECONDS OR SO AND THEN GO OUT AGAIN- VARIOUS SPEEDS - ALL INSTRUMENT NEEDLES BEGIN TO SWEEP BACK AND FORTH LIKE WINDSHIELD WIPERS - SOMETIMES THE CAR WILL ACT LIKE ITS STALLING BUT SPUTTERS ALONG NEVERTHELESS UNTIL I TURN IT OFF. WHEN I TURN IT RIGHT BACK ON IT DOESN'T DO IT- THIS HAPPENS SOMETIMES WHEN I PULL INTO THE GARAGE AND IT SITS IN IDLE. - SOMETIMES ALL DASH LIGHTS JUST GO OUT WITHOUT WARNING- VARIOUS SPEEDS - RECENTLY (4-20-11) ALL DASH LIGHTS CAME ON, KEY CHIME KEPT CHIMING AND ENGINE BEGAN TO FALTER AND WOULD NOT ALLOW ACCELERATION...AT ALL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CHARGER AND MY CONCERNS TO THE LOCAL DODGE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE FIRST 3 YEARS (OUT OF BUSINESS NOW, IN THE CHRYSLER REORGANIZATION) AND WAS TOLD EACH TIME: "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG; WE CAN'T DUPLICATE WHAT YOU ARE TELLING US. AND I WASN'T TO WORRY ABOUT IT. I HAVE STRONGLY VOICED MY CONCERN ABOUT THIS ISSUE TELLING DODGE THAT A COMPUTER FAILURE OUT OF WARRANTY IS VERY COSTLY, BUT THEY REFERRED ME TO CHRYSLER CORPORATE, WHO ESSENTIALLY IN SO MANY WORDS JUST BLEW ME OFF. THIS KIND OF DISRESPECT FOR A CUSTOMER WITH, AT THAT TIME, AN ENFORCEABLE WARRANTY IS DISGRACEFUL, AND I HOPE YOU WILL HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE FOR WHAT APPEARS TO BE A RATHER COMMON OCCURRENCE AMONG CHARGER OWNERS. I FOUND THIS WEBSITE BY ACCIDENT OTHERWISE I WOULD BE PART OF THE GREATER MASSES OF CHARGER OWNERS THAT HAVE NOT BEEN ACCOUNTED FOR IN WHAT SHOULD BECOME A RECALL (AND FINANCIAL RESTITUTION IF I HAVE TO GET IT FIXED ON MY OWN BEFORE THE RECALL) ACTION BY THE GOVERNMENT. *TR

2006 DODGE CHARGER -- FOR NO APPARENT REASON ALL DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS FLICKER AND GO OUT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, AND SOME TIMES THE ENGINE STALLS. SOME TIMES THE ALARM GOES ON WITH BRAKE LIGHT ON/OFF PROBLEM. I TURNED BATTERY KILL SWITCH OFF AND ON, IT STARTED THE STALLED ENGINE. I PULLED AND PUSHED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE LEVER, IT HELPED; BUT I WILL WATCH IT FOR RECURRANCE. THE ENGINE STALLING PROBLEM MAY BE A TICKING TIME BOMB. NHTSA, PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED SMOKE BEING EMITTION FROM UNDER THE HOOD. THE CONTACT INSPECTED AND SAW FIRE SPARKS FROM THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHTS AROUND THE WIRING; THE FIRE WAS WORKING ITS WAY UP TO THE MOTOR AND REST OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE AND DROVE HOME. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER WHO SENT A REPRESENTATIVE TO INSPECT; THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE AND COULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000.

SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2007 (2ND OWNER) WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY INSTRUMENT PANEL GOES DEAD. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 6 OCCASIONS ONLY FOR THEM TO TELL ME THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. IT IS NOW GOING TO BE 2011 AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM PANEL STILL SHUTS DOWN UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 DODGE CHARGER 3.5L.THE HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT. I TURN THE SWITCH ON AND THE LIGHTS MAY COME ON AND THEN GO OFF. I TURN THE SWITCH TO CUT THE LIGHTS OFF AND COME ON AND THEN GO OFF. THIS IS JUST CRAZY. CAR ONLY HAS 70K MILES ON IT. *TR

WHEN I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALERSHIP I WAS NEVER TOLD I HAD TO REPLACE MY BATTERY. 10 20, 2009 I WAS AT CVS STORE I GOT IN MY CAR STARTED IT THEN THE BATTERY BLEW COMPLETELY UP. IT SOUNDED LIKE A BOOM. THE STORE CLERK RAN OUT AND ON LOOKERS TOLD ME THE CAR WAS SMOKING FROM THE TRUNK. IN DISBELIEF I RAN BACK TO THE STORE TO CALL THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ASAP. WHEN THE FIRE DEPARTMENT OPENED THE TRUNK SPARKS FROM THE BATTERY WAS BEGINNING TO START A FIRE. ONE GENTLEMAN FROM THE FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID HE WOULD HAVE TO CUT THE BATTERY CABLE BECAUSE IT WAS ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS IN THE BATTERY OR ELSE THE CAR WOULD EXPLODE BECAUSE IT WAS TO CLOSE TO GAS PUMP. HE TOLD ME I WAS VERY LUCKY BECAUSE IF THE BLAST WAS ANY STRONGER IT COULD HAVE BLOWN UP THE CAR COMPLETELY IF THE FIRE SPARKS AND GAS COLLIDED. FROM THE BLAST MY NECK JERKED VERY HARD AND I AM EXPERIENCING DIZZY NESS FROM THE EXPLOSION AND BATTERY ACID FUMES AND MINOR BACK PAINS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY LEGAL RIGHTS OR AND OPTION TO GET THIS ISSUE RESOLVED. AT THIS TIME MY CAR IS COMPLETELY DAMAGED I HAVE NO ELECTRICAL POWER AT THIS TIME AND MY FRONT WINDSHIELD WAS CRACKED. I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION WANTED TO SEE IF DODGE WOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BATTERY DEFECT WHICH ALMOST CAUSE ME MY LIFE. *TR

AN ACCIDENT AND OR DEATH WAITING TO HAPPEN. MAY 8, 2009. I AM A MOTHER WITH A NOW 1 YR. OLD CHILD WHO TRAVELS 80% OF THE TIME IN THE BACK SEAT OF MY 2006 CHARGER R/T WITH HEMI 5.7L WHICH NOW HAS 40,000 MILES. SINCE FEB 2008 BEING 8 MTHS PREGNANT AT THE TIME WITH CAR HAVING 23,723 MILES I HAVE REPEATEDLY GONE TO POTAKIN PLANET DODGE IN MIAMI, FL COMPLAINING ABOUT AN INCONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH THE CAR. IT WILL SHUT OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON AT A RED LIGHT (NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE OR AFTER) IT WILL SHUT OFF IN THE PARKING LOT AT 10-20 MPH (NO WARNING LIGHTS BEFORE OR AFTER) BUT THE BIGGEST FEAR IS WHAT I HAVE EXPERIENCED 2 TIMES SO FAR WITH THE BABY IN THE BACK SEAT! FIRST TIME I WAS TRAVELING 35 MPH ON THE STREET AND THE 2 TIME I WAS TRAVELING 65 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND OUT OF THE BLUE THE CAR STALLS AS IF GETTING READY TO SHUT OFF, YOU LOOK AT THE DASH AND ALL GAUGES ARE BEGINNING TO DROP, I STEP ON THE GAS AND THE CAR HAS SOME TROUBLE REMEMBERING WHAT IT SHOULD BE DOING (DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY) AND THEN PROCEEDS AS IF NOTHING EVER HAPPENED. THE SERVICE DEPT. CAN NOT TELL ME WHY THE CAR DOES THIS. THE "16 POINT INSPECTION" STATES THE CAR IS FINE. NO ERROR CODES COME UP. NO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT EITHER. THIS CAR IS ALL I HAVE TO MOVE AROUND IN FOR MY GIRLS AND MYSELF. I AM IN SOOOOO MUCH SHOCK TO READ ALL THE COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM AND DODGE DOES NOTHING. IF SOMETHING WHERE TO HAPPEN TO MY FAMILY OR MYSELF BECAUSE OF THIS MALFUNCTION THAT DODGE IS AWARE OF AND IS DOING NOTHING IT IS NOW NOTED HERE THAT I HAVE BEEN TURNING FOR OVER A YEAR TO RESOLVE MY ISSUE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. PLEASE. LETS AVOID AN ACCIDENT AND OR DEATH WAITING TO HAPPEN! ! ! SIGNED A DESPERATE MOTHER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. WHILE TEST DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT ONE OF THE HEADLIGHTS WAS OUT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE FAILED HEADLIGHT. SHE LATER DISCOVERED THAT THE TURN SIGNALS WERE ALSO INOPERABLE. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOUND BURNED WIRES IN THE FUSE BOX AND ELECTRICAL FAILURE. NO REPAIRS WERE MADE AT THAT TIME. ON A SEPARATE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS TOWED TO A DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE WIRING HARNESS WAS DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT AN ESTIMATED COST OF $500. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

THE ALARM SYSTEM FAILURE. THE CAR WOULD NOT START. SO I HAD TO CONTACT AAA AND SEND A TOW TRUCK OUT. SOON AS THE TOWTRUCK DRIVER CAME OUT HE SD IT IS THE ALARM SYSTEM, EVEN BEFORE WE TOLD HIM THE PROBLEM. HE SD THAT HE HAVE HAD A FEW DODGE CHARGERS TOWED WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. SO NW I HAVE TO SEE IF DODGE WILL FIX IT . BUT THE PROBLEM IS THAT I BOUGHT IT USED,AND IT IS OVER 50K MILES. SO I HAVE TO FIND OUT IF DODGE WILL CHECK IT OUT FOR FREE AND FIX THE PROBLEM OR DO I HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT FROM WHICH WAS NOT A DODGE DEALERSHIP. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE CHARGER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ALL OF THE COMPONENTS RELATED TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL, SUCH AS THE AIR CONDITIONER, STEERING COLUMN CONTROLS, AND PHONE SYSTEM WORKED INTERMITTENTLY. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY REPLACED THE STEERING COLUMN SWITCH, CLOCK SPRING, WIRING HARNESS, HEAD UNIT, AMPLIFIER, AND RADIO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WORSENED AFTER THE REPLACEMENTS. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPLACE THE VEHICLE IN JULY OF 2007. AS OF NOVEMBER 13, 2007, THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT REPLACED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,700.

THE 20'06 DODGE CHARGER HAD LESS THAN 32,000 MILES ON IT, AND WHILE DRIVING ONE DAY I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR TO MERGE ONTO INTERSTATE 5 DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STALLED. MOMENTARILY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND IT DID IT AGAIN AND THEN IT RESUMED POWER. I TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG, BUT ON THE PAPER WORK IT STATED THAT THE CAUSE WAS A SOFTWARE ISSUE , 108 INSPECT AND FLASH PCM TO LATEST SOFTWARE VERSION. I TOOK IT HOME, AND IT HAS DONE IT 5 MORE TIMES , 3 TIMES IN ONE AFTERNOON. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE FOR THE SAME STALLING PROBLEM, AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE DONE ALL THE THEY COULD. WE HAVE REFRAIMED FROM DRIVING THE 1994 VEHICLE BECAUSE WE NO LONGER FELT SAFE DRIVING IT. *AK

WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT YESTERDAY AFTERNOON, THE CAR SIMPLY DIED WHILE IN DRIVE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. ONCE I GOT IT RE-STARTED, THE TRANSMISSION VIOLENTLY SHIFTED INTO DRIVE FROM PARK. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE SINCE THEN. *AK

VEHICLE STALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO BE REPAIRED OR " DUPLICATED" WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? A SERIOUS TRAFFIC ACCIDENT? I DON'T THINK SO. *JB

THE CAR STOPS WITHOUT WARNING WHILE DRIVING. NO POWER TO THE GAS PEDAL WHILE THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS UP WITH ALL WARNING LIGHTS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES, ONCE WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER 2ND TIME IN SHOP WITHIN 2 WEEKS OF BUYING CAR, THE POWER CONTROL MODULE WAS REPLACED. DAIMLER CHRYSLER ASSURED ME IT WOULD NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. IT DID AND I AM FILING UNDER THE LEMON LAW FOR A NEW CAR. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP FOR 17 DAYS OUT OF THE FIRST 30 I OWNED IT. IT IS GOING IN AGAIN. *JB
