Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2006 Dodge Charger

I was driving down the road and my lights turned off my headlights and dash lights had to hold my brights on because they wouldnt stay on by themselves, my dash speedometers had kept going up and down as if my car was dying almost hit a deer due to no headlights and driving at night.

I have 2 problems. first while driving all my warning lights will flash on then go right off. another problem i have is my car will turn over and sometimes start but die immediately. once i get it started it will go fine for a while before doing it again. by the looks of my research both problems are pretty common in 2006 chargers.

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 ...

My son's car caught fire after he had parked it for the night. after 10 minutes he was called at his apartment by a friend who told him his car was on fire. there were no warning signs whatsoever. no warning lights, unusual smells, or hints of impending doom for his car.
