Owner reports

Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2007 Dodge Charger owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).

SERVICE BULLETIN # 14-002-14: Fuel tank "roll over" valve failed immediately after fill-up saturating the purge solenoid and dryer canister for the fuel vapor vent reburning system. This service bulletin described failure caused liquid fuel rather than vapor to be dumped into the intake manifold stalling the vehicle in traffic in unsafe conditions. The car was towed to Beamon Dodge at 1705 S. Church St., 37130 awaiting repair. Dodge customer service was contacted at [phone] where they stated that this VIN was not covered by the service bulletin. Quoted repair for the manufacture defect is $4,680.48. Clearly the vehicles covered by this service bulletin are incomplete. Complaints of this failure can be found on the internet through 2014 when this service bulletin was issued on April 22, 2014. Clearly Dodge corrected nothing in their manufacturing and NHTSA is not protecting all consumers.

Filled fuel tank up until the pump shut off. As I drove onto the road, the engine suddenly died causing me to run off the shoulder as the power steering went out as well. I eventually got it re-started, but it ran rough and stalled out several more times on my way home. After some online research, I determined that it was probably raw gas getting pulled down the EVAP tube. I avoid the problem now by not filling the tank up all the way, but do it once in a while accidently and the problem returns. Highly dangerous situation.

shuts off while driving with no warning...Stalls at stop light/sign and when i try to accelerate it has barely goes.. sometimes it seems like it has no power at all and sometimes it seems like it has to much power without me accelerating. Its very dangerous this issue has almost made me get into several accidents

Problem #1: one of the cooling fan blades sheered off and & flew into the radiator. I was at a complete stop and broke off when I started to accelerate. I replaced the broken blade (didn't have enough money to replace both) and radiator. About a year or less later the other fan blade sheered off (the one I didn't replace) and went into the radiator. This time also during accelerating after a complete stop. Deja vu. This time I had to replace the entire fan assembly (because the blades were on backorder) and radiator. When I went to the Dodge dealership they said there was a recall on the same blades but only the 2006 model. Problem #2: it is now loosing propulsion. The power stays on it just stops moving forward. I can put it in park & then back in gear and it moves, but barely. It isn't consistent but it is terrifying. …

My vehicle begins to stall out at low speeds or while idling. While slowing down for a light or just waiting for the traffic light to change. I brought the vehicle to the Chrysler dealership at gwinnette Chrysler stone mountain georgia and the problem was diagnosed to be the fuel tank needing replacement after paying 3000.00 dollars for repairs that did not resolve the issue. I was then given a final diagnosis that the fuel tank was the issue and it was going to cost 4500.00 to replace. Today is April 1 and I just picked up my vehicle after it was sitting in the dealership for almost 1 month and still the problem has not been resolved. Please help me. My vehicle is sitting in my driveway with a car cover because I am afraid to drive it in this condition. [redacted].

As I'm driving down the freeway in the fast lane the vehicle stalls. I'm able to maneuver across all three lanes of traffic to get on the shoulder and call aaa roadside. When the tow truck gets to my location he puts 2 gallons of gas in my tank and the vehicle starts right up. Meanwhile the gas gauge is showing a quarter tank. After looking up if this has happened to anyone else I came across numerous online posts stating that the same thing has happened to them as well. This is a huge safety concern as it can result in a very bad accident from losing power steering and power brakes as a result of the engine stalling out from fuel starvation and the gas gauge showing a quarter tank.

2007 Dodge Charger 5.7 170,000+ miles stalling immediately or shortly after fueling without warning while in drive. Identical to same issues in the 2006 models. Car is in motion each time it has stalled on city streets in heavy traffic. Car threw EVAP canister codes. Components were repaired but car continued to stall after ever full tank of gas. Car threw EVAP leak code. No leaks found. Fuel pump was checked and tank checked for over flow. No leaks. No gas smell. Fuel pump and EVAP system ruled out as cause. The issue seems to be with the tank itself.

Our 2007 charger is having the same issues with overfill and stalling after the car is filled full with gas. Dodge recalled the 2005-2006 charger tanks, but our 2007 has the same issue.

I purchased my 2007 Dodge Charger se on feb 17 2009. I had multiple problems when I bought the vehicle including the airbag light being on which they fixed by recalibrating the unit. The left washer fluid module had to be replaced and the passenger headlight had condensation that was poorly repaired by placing silcone around my headlight. The shop also said that they had to recalibrate the transmission because it was slipping and was causing my speedometer to drop to 0 but the RPM would never move and the car would not lose power. On March 7 I drove 90 miles away from home when I exited my vehicle and got about 10 feet away the car exploded in flames. The car drove beautifully the entire trip never hesitated and never overheated, never indicated any kind of problem!!!! The entire front of my car to the dash was completely melted within 5 minutes of the car exploding. …
