Vehicle engine codes were all corrected properly in hopes of fixing the stalling issues. the vehicle was seemingly better for a few days. upon driving the vehicle on the highway at normal highway speed, the vehicle suddenly began flickering and shutting off and on. the vehicle would shut off and on rapidly. each time the vehicle turned back on it would accelerate causing the vehicle to jolt forward and stop rapidly. the car would not allow me to brake safely. the vehicle behind was within inches of a collision but their quick response to slam on their brakes and swerved to the shoulder thankfully missed. this is not an isolated event. speaking to other hemi 5.7 vehicle owners this is a very common issue. I had a baby in a carseat in the backseat who was jolted around slamming the back of his head into his car seat. this is so dangerously unsafe. not dealership can find the problem even after replacing every part possible on these vehicles.

Air bag light was flashing and contact Dodge multiple times to inquire and fix recall however all I was offered was a gift card but no sort of transaction while vehicle was being fixed and was told I would receive follow up to make arrangements to get everything fixed however never had received any follow up and finally like I had told and showed the dealer probably the bag was going to deploy luckily I was the only person in the vehicle the passenger side airbag deployed and caused me to go off road into rail totaling vehicle it was no injuries or damages to any other property however vehicle was total loss and had a car person pick it up so I wouldn’t occur any cost leaving vehicle abandoned or in a storage facility when I contacted recall customer care for dodge and told them what happened now their excuse is a investigation however before this incident they have had ample time and many opportunities to check the vehicle just to be pushed off with a bunch of excuses to not provide ample conversation for inconvenience and the losses accrued due to their Faulty unsafe vehicle that could have cost someone life due to donor drive recall

This is the second time I have been stuck on the side of the road showing that my car has a quarter tank of gas and it just dies on me. I was rescued with some fuel and it started right back up again. Upon checking for recalls for this issue, I came across some 2005 to 2006 Dodge magnums or chargers with fuel tank recalls. I called Chrysler and they are saying my vin does not apply to the fuel tank recall. How is it, I am having the same exact issue as those vin’s affected by this recall. I think it is something to look into. I have gone on Dodge forums and read people’s stories about the same issue as I am having and I am sure they are unaware of the steps they can take with the NHTSA to file a complaint where an investigation could be imminent. Please advise. This has happened more than once so now I consider an empty tank when I am at a quarter tank reading on my gas meter.

The engine in my 2006 dodge Magnum has begun stalling out after fueling precisely as described in NHTSA action number PE13016. The first time it happened I was in the middle of a U-turn at a busy intersection. The engine died and I lost power steering and power brakes. I was able to brute-force the steering wheel and narrowly avoided hopping the curb and hitting the light pole on the corner. This light pole might have just as easily been a pedestrian. I called my local Dodge dealer (Ontario Dodge, Ontario California) to explain the problem and arrange to bring the car in. I let them know that I was aware that this issue was addressed under NHTSA action number PE13016 and should be covered under the lifetime warranty extension. I was told by the service adviser that I am required to drop off my car and that it would be 7-10 days before they would look at it. I suggested that they put me on a list and I could bring my car in 7-10 days at a time when they were able to look at it. They were unwilling to do this. They're insisting that my car sit in their lot for 7-10 days before they will even look at it. This isn't a scheduling issue. I can go on their website today and schedule my car for any other service tomorrow. No, this is a punitive action. Clearly they don't want to do the repairs and they're hoping I'll just go away by making it unreasonably difficult; not to mention expensive considering that a rental car will now be required. Chrysler and their dealers are not acting

I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM LAST WEEK ON 4/4/2019 ODOMETER READING AT 109, 545. 2 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IT NEEDED FUEL AND I FILLED THE GAS TANK. I THEN LEFT THE GAS STATION. WITHIN LESS THAN A MILE THE ENGINE STALLED AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN 1 MINUTE AND LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE GAS STATION. SINCE I WAS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY, I COULD NOT JUST PULL OVER. I CONTINUED OFF THE MERGE AND INTO THE HIGHWAY. THEN IT STOPPED. WITH HESITATION I CONTINUED DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ABOUT 20 MILES DOWN THE HIGHWAY LATER AND DRIVING AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH, I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GO UP A SMALL HILL AND MAINTAIN THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. THE CAR AGAIN TRIES TO STALL OUT AND SHUT OFF AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS 3 MORE TIMES. I HAD TO DRIVE YET ANOTHER 50 MILES TO MAKE IT HOME AND I WAS VERY UNEASY THE WHOLE TIME. I DID MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL INSIDENTS. THE INCIDENT WAS VERY UNSETTLING. I DREAD WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME I PUT GAS IN IT AS THIS SEEMED TO BE THE TRIGGER OF THE INCIDENT. I WENT HOME TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE AND SURE ENOUGH THIS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG DODGE MAGNUM OWNERS. APPARENTLY THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK. MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP OR QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BUT IS INDEED HAVING THIS SHARED PROBLEM. I FEEL IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE ON THE HIGHWAY. CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY AND OR DEATH TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS AND ANY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE

MY CAR STALLS WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE STALL OCCURS AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND COMING TO A STOP. AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN PARK AND TRYING SEVERAL TIMES TO START THE CAR, THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTS. I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, BUT IT DOESN'T ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY. I THEN HAVE TO REPEAT BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND GOING THRU THE START AND ENGAGE SEVERAL TIMES.
