2006 Dodge Charger problems

“I have a beautiful 2006 dodge daytona charger with 5.7L Hemi engine that has failed with 170,000 miles. It has been impeccably maintained with on time oil changes using Mobil 1 synthetic oil. The problem is the roller on the lifter for cylinder # 4 locked up and wiped the lobe off the camshaft...So now theres a misfire and the engine needs a rebuild! I know nothing lasts forever BUT.... most engines now a days make 200,000 no problem and most go well beyond that if maintained properly. I was expecting the same for this engine but This well-known problem finally struck me... I have had my lifetime warranty denied because the cost of the engine exceeds the value of the car so there lifetime warranty is a very mis leading and really an out rite lie!!! Chrysler/Stellantis knows all about these hemi engines failing but is leaveing its customers holding the bag! I think you should do an investigation do the huge number of failures!!!”

“After filling the gas tank with gas.Car starts missing and engine will stall . If you stop at red light after filling up car will stall and the engine stops running. If you dot fill the car up to full it has no problem running it does as it should”

“The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated while idling at the traffic light, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated that the failure also occurred while driving at various speeds. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to the side of the road. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to restart on several occasions and was towed to the residence. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where DTC: U0100 and P0700 were retrieved. The dealer flashed the computer; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, were the same DTC were retrieved and the failure was related to a loss of communication with the PCM and the Transmission Control Module. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 111,415.”

“The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Charger. The contact stated that on various occasions after refueling the vehicle over half tank, the vehicle would stall and then lose motive power while driving at slower speeds or while coming to a stop. No warning lights were illuminated. The contact stated that she was only able to restart the vehicle after refueling again. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the passenger’s side fuel pump needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that she was unable to refuel the vehicle past half tank without the failure recurring. The local dealer was then made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was made aware and also confirmed the VIN was not included in a recall and a case was opened. The approximate failure mileage was 190,000.”

“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 previous 2006 Dodge Charger 5.7 which has happened once or twice and a u0100 code pops up when scanned. I've scoured the internet for solutions and notice. There's a lot of people going through this similar situation and it so happens to be the 2006 year that's plagued with this problem. Even getting a new PCM doesn't solve the problem. Whomever is in charge of the Dodge company needs to figure out the exact cause of this problem before a driver/passengers gets injured or killed in an accident because of it. Please put some fire under their butt”

“Upon looking for my vehicle recalls it said my car had been repaired and I've owned it the last 7 years and it definitely has not since I've owned it.. That isn't true...”
