2006 DODGE CHARGER — Complaint #1533853
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about Other/Unknown filed January 24, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1533853 (ODI reference 11171942) concerns a 2006 DODGE CHARGER and was filed on January 24, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 24, 2019. The vehicle had 80,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to South Carolina based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as other/unknown, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same DODGE CHARGER cohort independently describe similar other/unknown failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 DODGE CHARGER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL MY CHARGER WILL STALL. IT HAS HAPPENED 5 OR 6 SEPARATE OCCASIONS OVER THE PAST 2 YEARS. I GENERALLY DO NOT FILL THE CAR UP ALL THE WAY BECAUSE OF THIS. HOWEVER JUST TODAY I HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AFTER ACCIDENTALLY FILLING IT. I DO NOT TOP OFF THE CAR WHEN FILLING ONCE THE NOZZLE CLICKS OFF I STOP. TODAY AFTER GETTING GAS I WENT TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND THE CAR STALLED. THE POWER STEERING WOULD NOT WORK THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I WAS STRANDED HALFWAY OUT INTO THE LANE OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT AND DROVE ABOUT 20 FEET BEFORE IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO BE HIT. I DID MANAGE TO GET THE CAR HOME WHICH IS ABOUT TWO MILES AWAY BUT I HAD TO RESTART IT FOUR MORE TIMES. I'VE GOT ROUGHLY 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR I HAVE ALWAYS KEPT UP WITH MAINTENANCE AND WITH ANY REPAIRS THAT NEEDED TO BE DONE. I SEARCHED ONLINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM BUT THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE EVEN
