After 3 weeks in shop got it back. Had 600 mile service done $301.00
Warranty covered rear shock replacement, gen 3 brake pads, and belt guard.
It had stalled out a couple of times in the past and on the way to the shop
told them about it. They said no codes they have no idea on this. On way home from shop it stalled twice. Got home about 35 miles and while looking things over noticed a lot of gas fumes coming from canister hose underneath. Is this normal? Only had about 1/2 tank of fuel.
Next day took a ride within 2-3 miles stalled out twice. rest of week no problems. Went to MS gulf coast for Memorial day weekend and had stalling problems on 2 different days. It happened anywhere from 2 to 15 miles into the ride. Have around 1150 miles on now. Have checked fuses and relays on fitment and battery connections. The shop said they changed plugs but who knows? Any one have suggestions or ideas.:dontknow::dontknow:

Possibly bad purge valve, or cracked vacuum line. Check the three lines on the left engine side, remove carefully and check all around.

I'm sure you can get some help from those on this forum.
A few questions come to mind.

Is your RT an SE5?

When you say 'stalled out' does that mean:
A) it stops running while you are in motion
B) quits while you are at a stop light idling
C) stops while trying to accelerate from a dead stop
D) shuts off while accelerating while in motion

What fuel are you using?

Manual SM
stall =
Had this happen several times.
A) Motor dies riding down interstate. Cure pull in clutch let back out while in motion.

Had this happen twice
B) Cure turn key off and back on hit start.

Happened once
D) Same as A

Had this happen once
E) Slowing down for school zone. Died coasted to a drive way. Cure key off, on, start.
Have used all 3 grades of unlead fuel
Mileage range of having problems 600 to 1,100 miles

Check the plugs, look for spark jump in a darkened room with the panels off. Have dealer look on BUDS for diganostic codes. If all else fails replace plugs, wires, ECM, in that order. This is just a guess from afar. A good dealer should really look into this.
