My 2006 Dodge Charger rt with the road and track option will intermittently loose power and often die after filling gas tank. Even if you don't completely fill it still will die unexpectedly. I never top the tank off with more gas. In addition when car dies going around a curve, the power steering goes out making driving really dangerous. The engine dies at nearly any condition. When traveling at highway speed, after accelerating after stopping. It happens most during acceleration after turns.

After fueling car up, I traveled a short distance, stopped at the main intersection of the city I was driving in, the light changed, I accelerated to turn left and my Charger died right in the middle of busy intersection. I had my daughter with me, so I told her to get out and push, scared that I was going to be T-boned. We discovered how heavy my hemi was, but thankfully 2 men jumped out of there vehicles and pushed us to safety in a nearby parking space. I called a tow truck and had to be towed home after trying to get it to start again and it wouldn't stay running. If you know what my problem is, please help me. My car has 95,000 miles on it. Condition: Unknown

Car was operating just fine no check engine lights or anything of that nature stopped at wal-mart and was in store for about 30 mins.. came out and went to start car and it sounded like a popcorn popper full of metal and started smoking so bad it filled entire parking lot with smoke so thick that you couldn't see 3 feet beyond your face.. so had to pull car home and when I pulled valve cover and plugs on left side I noticed meral shavings in cylinder 1 and plugs in cylinder 4 were completely smashed smashed in on themselves ( gap gone ).. apparently the valve seats dropped into cylinders and puctured pistons... I have looked online and it seems that this has been a pretty regular occurrence with other 2006 hemi Chargers...

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. While driving 60 mph, the engine would shut off. The eas code indicator illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who found a manufacturer recall pertaining to the fuel tank. The contact did not receive a recall notification. The manufacturer stated that they could not assist since the vehicle was too old. The contact also stated that the vehicle stalled after fuel was added to the fuel tank. The vehicle was taken to village Dodge, Inc. (819 NY-66, hudson, NY 12534, (518) 828-1585) and the failure was repaired. The stalling failure had not been resolved. An independent mechanic diagnosed that the vehicle's computer system misread that there was no fuel in the tank. As a result, all the electrical components shut off. The failure mileage was 54,000.

My 2006 Dodge Charger completely died on me while driving at 40 mph. Luckily I was alone on a city road but lost all control and felt I was barley braking and steering was near impossible. I was able turn everything off in the car and restart but it happened 3 other times within 2 miles. At one point while turning left on a highway it died; I was almost to a point to hitting other cars turning left in same direction and others behind me. I was able to drive 4 miles today without incident however after researching this exact issue among other Charger owners I searched for a recall and nothing has been said by Dodge. This issue doesn't seem to be from personal actions but a flaw in a system on this make/model. It has happened to me twice before a few years ago however I read something about a gas cap and felt it was isolated. After last night and reading blogs today I see that this is a wide spread issue and not caused by not maintaining a vehicle or bad driving. This is an issue in design or manufacturing. Had this happened in any other driving setting during rush hour someone could be seriously injured or killed. I notified Dodge and reported the issue but they said I would not be contacted and to keep receipts if something was wrong in case they do recall something. Why hasn't this been corrected after all these reports for the same issue to this many of the same vehicles? this has been happening since I reported it in Jan of 2017 on safercar.gov. No action or contact has been made.

Car shuts off without warning while in motion after filling gas tank. Power steering goes out as well. Very dangerous as the driver has no warning...

- Knoxville, TN, USA

Car will shut off going 45 mph, at a stop light (0 mph) or when crossing traffic intersections for examples (at most going 10 or 15 mph). I will attempt to restart and the car will start up, stall up and then shut off again - when this happens, I lose power steering. I have to switch gears from drive to park and then turn the car off and then on again in hopes it will start. As you're driving, you can feel when the car is about to cut off, it throttles ahead a bit and revs, then the car beeps and turns off, while the gear is in drive and turning my wheel does nothing. I notice that this issue would usually happen after a fill up my gas tank, so I started only filling up halfway, but the issue still persists. This issue became heavily frequent yesterday where the car stalled and cut off at least 4 different times while making a 7 mile drive back home. This was very very scary in my eyes, especially with a passenger in my seat. This is a huge safety concern because the vehicle is shutting off while in motion and powering steering is lost. If this happens on the highway going 60+ miles per hour, or turning into oncoming traffic, there is a guaranteed accident, possibly resulting in serious injury or death. I believe there is an issue with the gas tank and the evap canister that causes the sensors to think that gas is overfilling the engine, which shuts off the car. This was filed under NHTSA PE13-016 (which appears to be closed or inaccessible- https://www-ODI.NHTSA.dot.gov/acms/cs/documentlist.xhtml?docid=PE13016&doctype=inv). This safety concern really needs to be looked into.

I was driving home from work, going about 40 mph on the freeway all of the sudden engine starts running rough. Pulled over, turned off car and was never able to turn it on again. Took it to the mechanic.. he said I had a broken seat valve, everything damaged...need to replace engine. After looking up online it seems it is a known defect with the hemi engine from 2005-2006.

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.

I have had this 2006 Dodge Charger for a while.now it's been stalling and sometimes shutting off for no reason. Me and my 3 year old grandbaby was at a red light and the light turned green, I started to go car stalled and shut off. No was behind me at the time, so I was trying to get it to start, when I looked up. Saw a truck flying up on us. Thank god no one was beside us or he would of rear ended us. My boyfriend is a mechanic.he has worked for Chrysler for over 32 years. He can't seem to find the cause of it. No codes nothing. He can't talking to half of the bus. We replaced throttle body, tcm, PCM and some other things. Still nothing has helped. I have owned two other Chargers. This one is a night mare. Please do something. I'm getting to the point I'm scared to drive it.

Car cuts off randomly- when moving or when stationary. May or may not restart immediately. It has happened when stopped, turning, or in motion.

- Indianapolis, IN, USA

I have a 2006 Dodge Charger that randomly dies when I'm driving on the highway in town at slow speeds turning corners or sitting still in park it's died on me several times when people have had to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting the side of me and it happens no matter what gear its in or what the RPM is at I've replace the ECM the tcm alternator battery and everything I've looked up about it online nobody has a definite fix but the problem exists in a lot of 2006 Dodge Chargers, and it almost always gives me one of two codes one is loss of communication with the ECM and the other is loss of communication with the tcm and then there's other times that it gives no code

Car stalls without warning at stoplights as well as on the road. If if the car is moving the engine will usually catch and restart but due to the way the transmission operates, there is a period of time before the transmission reengages so the car acts as if it is in neutral which is extremely dangerous and has caused many close calls with conflicting traffic at intersections. A quick search on google will show this is a chronic problem with these cars and there is no known root cause and Dodge has not done anything to investigate the root cause. As a result it has been left to the owner to spend potentially thousands of dollars for parts swapping to troubleshoot the problem but with little success. In most cases the problem is never resolved or simply returns shortly after being "fixed" by the dealer. Note: This is not related to the gas tank issue which has similar symptoms. I have replaced the gas tank in my car hoping it would resolve the problem but it did not.
