The vehicle stalls and cuts off several times after refueling. This only occurs when the gas tank is completely full with fuel and last for 10 to 15 minutes immediately after filling the tank. The vehicle will cut off while driving in traffic at low speeds or when at a complete stop at a traffic light, drive thru, etc., During the same period of time.
The car randomly dies at an idle, low speeds shifting gears, [including reverse] as well as during speed acceleration. If you punch the gas pedal while moving it will start back up and continue on. If you are at a stop you have to put the car in neutral or park to use the key to restart. It dies at the most in convenient times, at stop signs, traffic lights, turning right or left. There is no pattern. One day it will stall out 2 times throughout driving and other days it will stall 50+ times. I was rearended at a...
stop light because my car stalled and the driver saw the green light and went, neglecting that I was at a stop in front of them. Local chrysler dealershiptells me there is no sure fix but wants to replace every computer and module on my car. Also stating it might not even be any of those components. I cannot afford that outrageous bill! And they won't take it as a trade in. I'm stuck paying alot of money for a useless safety hazard.
The car is randomly bucking, jerking and stalling. I'm getting ridiculous error messages all at the same time including u0100 (lost communication with the ecm/pcm), c121c (torque request denied), u140e (implausible vehicle configuration), c2202 (original vin missing/mismatch), p0700 (tcm malfunction), u0164 (lost communication with heating, venting and cooling), and u110b (lost engine coolant message). All of these error messages came up at the same time after the car jerked, bucked and then stalled. This...
happens almost every week. This is not related to the stalling due to the faulty gas tank. I had my fuel tank replaced already under that extended lifetime warranty. This seems to be a short circuit somewhere. My best guess is a bad ground or splice point where water might be shorting things out. Many people are having these same problems and getting ripped off by dealers who don't know what the problem is. The dealer will claim to have fixed it (after changing a part or two) because the car will work at that exact moment. A day or two later, the same nonsense ensues. This needs to stop. The car is useless. I can't drive safely more than a couple of miles from my house. Can you imagine that? A car with a limited range of just a few miles?! Please help!!!!
Transmission shifter goes in park and does not want to move. The vehicle will not start while in park. *Tr
In the morning when you go to start the car to warm up it doesn't even stay running for a minute and the car idols for less then a minute and the rpms start droping and just dies other times I could be driving and the car just dies after like 5 seconds of standing by it just dies a title and sometimes when I reverse r going 4 miles per hour it'll die in reverse even on the electronic shifter....At this point car can't be driven because shuts off at light and intersections
By the number of complaints owners filed with NHTSA: 2006 (5). Allowing for how long each has been on the road, the 2006 stands out most. Complaint counts also rise with sales, so compare years of the same model rather than different models.
Across every model year, owners report problems with the transmission & drivetrain (4), engine & cooling (2), fuel system (2) most often.
NHTSA lists 1 recall across all Chrysler SRT8 model years. Each year's page lists the recalls for that year; check your own vehicle by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether the repair has been done.
