*Update: So after AutoSavant posted the link to the new lifetime warranty upgrade on these fuel tanks, I decided to call up the dealership andsee what they could do. Obviously, they hadn't heard anything yet. So next I called the 1-800 dodge number and they did confirm that it was getting completed but that they hadn't finalized who would be covered yet. They said if I'm one of them that I should hear something within the next month. So yay, I guess...

I've been having some issues with my newly purchased 2006 Charger R/T. Apparently if I fill up the gas tank, the car will randomly stall for a while until it burns off enough gas.

This appears to be somewhat common according to the interwebz due to a faulty vent valve that begins to stick and will flood the engine with fuel rather than fumes from the fuel.

Any other LX owners had this problem???

I'm planning to purchase an LX, so unfortunately, I don't have any help on that specific end of things, but I would check the fuel filter while you're at it. My dad's old car had somewhat similar intermittent issues that ended up being the fuel filter.

Just from the description I thought it would be Some vapor lock situation. I have a 3.5 and haven't noticed it. I have noticed that when the filler clicks, its fucking done. No more room at all.
