    My 2006 Dodge Charger stalls after refueling, and now stutters when driving as if not getting fuel. I have noticed when attempting to break and stopping at stops this is happening more often. The car shuts down and could cause a accident. After researching this issue I found that this has been addressed already under investigation number PE13-016 by the NHTSA.

    I was almost rear-ended by a semi when the vehicle stalled at a light while picking my son up from work. It seems to stall at stop signs or waiting at lights completely. It stalls while idling here and there sometimes. Sometimes when driving on the e-way it jerks as it wants to stall but not completely. The main codes that pop up is u0100. Sometimes p0700 pops up and then sometimes the u0100 pops up along with a bunch of other codes. This has just started happening with my…

    The issue is that after fueling up my car I will drive a little ways down the road and the car will shut off and I will need to steer out of the way of traffic and restart the car. This will happen several times after refueling. This appears to be a common problem with 2006 Dodge Chargers, Magnums, and Chrysler 300s. It appears that the issue is that fuel was observed entering the purge line prior to initial shut off of the fill nozzle. This causes fuel to escape from the…

    When I fill my car with gasoline, it starts to putter and shuts off. I have replaced the fuel pump and fuel transfer unit over 4 times since I have owned this vehicle. I had the same issue with my Chrysler 300. It is very frustrating and cost full. I just dropped my car at the shop to be looked at again. I just had a fuel/transfer pump done less than a year ago

    The fuel tank with this car have issues when filled up. This issue started about 3-4 years ago. The gas tank haven't been inspected but I've changed literally every component associated with the fueling system. I wish I would've done research before hand and would've just saved money and known that there are issues with the fuel tank. The car when filled up or sometimes just putting a little gas it will either sputter or shut off. No check engine light comes on or nothing.…
