2006 Dodge Magnum complaints

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A SAFETY HAZARD WITH MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM RT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. WHEN THE VEHICLE IS FILLED UP WITH GAS IT WILL STALL OUT WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF WHAT SPEED YOU ARE GOING AND OCCURS EVERY TIME THE CAR IS FILLED UP. I HAVE DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT I AM NOT ALONE WITH THIS ISSUE AND THAT THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED FOR CERTAIN VIN CODES THROUGH CHRYSLER. UNFORTUNATELY MY VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THAT WARRANTY EXTENSION EVEN THOUGH I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT ISSUE THAT THIS COVERS. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL TIMES WHERE THE CAR HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC WHICH COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MAJOR ACCIDENT, LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO AVOID ANY COLLISIONS. MAYBE NEXT TIME I WON'T BE SO LUCKY THOUGH... *TR

THE MILEAGE AND DATE ARE APPROXIMATES. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 4/5/14 AT ABOUT 69980 MILES. WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, WITHOUT "TOPPING OFF", THE ENGINE WILL STALL SHORTLY AFTERWARDS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIME UNTIL THE CAR HAS HAD TIME TO SIT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (HOURS TO OVERNIGHT). THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I COME TO AN INTERSECTION OR I AM MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR

JUST AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK ON THIS VEHICLE, I EXPERIENCED STALLING 3 TIMES, INCLUDING IN AN INTERSECTION. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY REPORTED THAT IT WAS THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. I ALERTED THEM TO THE CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY REPORTED THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED AS PART OF THIS WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON THE PART OF CHRYSLER AS IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE WARRANTY. THIS NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL VEHICLES AS IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS STALLING IN AN INTERSECTION IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. *TR

CAR STALLED AFTER FILLING UP HAD TO RESTART STALLED AGAIN ON HIGHWAY GOING APPROX 25MPH. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP THOUGHT BAD GAS BUT SEE PE13-016. ALSO ON ONE OCCASION CAR WOULD NOT START. FINALLY STARTED WITH A LOT OF WHITE SMOKE. *TR

WHEN I FILL MY CAR WITH GAS MY ENGINE WILL REPEATEDLY STALL ANYWHERE FROM A MINUTE OR LESS TO AS LONG AS 5 TO 15 MINUTES UPON LEAVING THE STATION. ITS VERY MUCH LIKE THE PE13-016 INVESTIGATION. IN FACT I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY THE GAS TANK IS FAULTY. I DID MY RESEARCH AND UNCOVERED YOUR INVESTIGATION AND THOUGHT EVERYTHING WOULD BE OK BUT IT WASN'T. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM 5.7L V8 WITH A 19 GALLON FUEL TANK BOTH THE DEALER (LARRY MILLER DODGE BOISE) AND THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER ARE ADAMANT THAT MY GAS TANK DOES NOT HAVE THE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY DESCRIBED IN PE13-016. THEY INSIST MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE FAULTY TANK THAT WAS THE SUBJECT OF YOUR INVESTIGATION. I DON'T CLAIM TO UNDERSTAND HOW STALLING IN TRAFFIC IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND WORTHY OF A RECALL BUT ALL OTHER THINGS EQUAL, HOW COME MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY WHEN EVEN MY DEALER IS SAYING MY CAR HAS THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, ITS THE RIGHT MODEL YEAR AND THE RIGHT CONFIGURATION. THIS IS NOT A TRIVIAL THING. WOULD YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR SPOUSE AND CHILDREN RANDOMLY STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC. AND LIKE ME, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS FROM FELLOW CHRYSLER LX SERIES OWNERS (MAGNUM, CHARGER & 300C) REPORTING THAT NO, THE CAR WILL NOT ALWAYS START RIGHT BACK UP. VERY OFTEN WE HAVE TO WRESTLE WITH IT AND SUFFER THROUGH MULTIPLE STALLS AND DIFFICULT STARTS BEFORE THE PROBLEM CLEARS ITSELF. PLEASE HELP.

JUST FILLED THE TANK AND WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR STALLED AT THE STOP SIGN. CAR CONTINUED TO STALL FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND WAS HARD TO START EACH TIME, SEEMS TO STALL AT BOTH LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR TO JUST STALL IN MID TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN UNTIL I REALIZED IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. TOOK IT TO DEALER TODAY AND THEY CONFIRMED IT IS DUE TO THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE STICKING AND BLOCKING A VENT. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. CAR STALLED ONCE TODAY ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER (THEY WANTED IT WITH A FULL TANK) AND THEN THREE TIMES ON MY WAY HOME AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THEIR ANALYSIS. IT WILL CONTINUE TO STALL UNTIL THE TANK LEVEL GOES DOWN A GALLON OR SO OF FUEL. *TR

THE CAR RUNS ERRATICALLY OR STALLS AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK ALL THE WAY UP. THIS ONLY LASTS FOR A FEW MILES AND THEN THE CAR RUNS FINE. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A KNOWN ISSUE AND THERE WAS A TSB ISSUED, BUT NO RECALL. IF I STOP FILLING A FEW GALLONS BEFORE THE TANK IS FULL, THERE ARE NO PROBLEMS. I WAS RECENTLY TOLD THAT CHRYSLER WAS EXTENDING THE WARRANTIES ON THESE TANKS (PE13016), BUT WAS TOLD BY MY DEALER THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY DOES NOT APPLY TO MY CAR, BUT COULDN'T TELL ME WHY. *TR

HAD JUST FILLED FUEL TANK AND VEHICLE STALLED BEFORE GETTING OUT OF GAS STATION DRIVEWAY. I WAS COMING TO A STOP AS EXITING STATION AND WHILE BRAKING (ALMOST AT A FULL STOP), EXPERIENCED A QUICK ENGINE SURGE AND THEN ENGINE STALLED. LUCKILY I WAS AT A STOP, SHIFTED TO PARK AND RESTARTED VEHICLE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED LESS THAN A MILE AWAY AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN, WITHOUT POWER STEERING THE VEHICLE WAS NOW STALLED IN THE ONCOMING LANE. I CAME TO A FULL STOP, SHIFTED TO PARK AND RESTARTED AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY OFFICE AND JUST PARKED VEHICLE THERE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I LAST FILLED MY TANK (APPROX 10 DAYS AGO), STALLING SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET OUT OF THE COSTCO PARKING LOT. ON THAT OCCASION, I CONGESTED TRAFFIC FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WHILE WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART AND HEAD HOME. IT DIDN'T OCCUR AGAIN DURING THE SUBSEQUENT DAYS, BUT TODAY I FUELED UP AGAIN AND GOT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE - SO IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING RELATED TO THE FUELING PROCESS. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW AND THIS IS A NEW ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. ADDITIONALLY, THE VEHICLE WOULD SPORADICALLY STALL WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED TO CAPACITY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED, WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE COMPUTER CENTRAL SYSTEM. THE COMPUTER WAS REPLACED HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) WAS NOT HONORED UNDER WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 102,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM WITH 71,173 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD ALSO TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR. THE CONTACT HAD CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS FAILURE AND WAS TOLD THAT DEFECT INVESTIGATION PE13016 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) WILL BE RECALLED IN THE FUTURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. BL UPDATED 05/28/14*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE DEALER ADVISED THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. UPDATED 05/30/2014 *JS

ON MULTIPLE OCASSIONS, DURING THE RE-FUELING OPERATION UP TO FULL LEVEL, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT. NO TROUBLE CODES ARE STORED. AFTER RESTART, AND WHILE DRIVING AWAY THE VEHICLE MAY UNEXPECTEDLY STALL-OUT ON ONE OR MORE OCASSIONS WHILE STOPPED IN GEAR, OR AT SLOW SPEED OR WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AFTER THE REFUELING HAS TAKEN PLACE. WHEN THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLES BEHIND YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND NEAR ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. ADDITIONALLY, IF ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, CROSS TRAFFIC ALSO DOES NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR CAR, AND NEAR ACCIDENTS HAVE AGAIN ALMOST OCCURRED BECUASE YOU HAVE NOT CLEARED OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AT THE RATE/TIMING THAT THE OTHER DRIVER WOULD HAVE REASONABLY EXPECTED. THESE UNEXPECTED STALLS MAY OCCUR UNTIL SUCH TIME THAT THE CAR HAS BURNED OFF SOME FUEL BY EITHER TIME OR BY HIGHER SPEEDS, BUT EVEN AT HIGHER SPEEDS YOU CAN STILL HAVE SOME HESITATION AND "SURGING". SITUATION OCCURS AFTER RE-FUELING UP TO FULL LEVEL ONLY, AND WITHOUT REGARD TO FUEL OCTANE LEVEL, WHETHER COLD OR HOT OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE OR ENGINE CONDITION. *TR

SITTING IDLE AT LIGHT CAD DIED. RESTARTED AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE AND CARD DIED AGAIN AFTER COMING TO STOP. RESTARTED AND DROVE INTO A PARKING LOT AND CAR DIED AGAIN WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO PARKING STALL. RESTARTED AND THEN TURNED VEHICLE OFF TO WAIT FOR HELP. VEHICLE HAS VERY LOW MILES (50K +) AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN DEPENDABLE UNTIL NOW. DROVE VEHICLE TO LOCAL MECHANIC (BECAUSE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 25 MINUTES AWAY AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT DEPENDABILITY). MECHANIC CONNECTED TO COMPUTER AND PERFORMED TWO ROAD TESTS BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. HAVE CALLED DODGE AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP. *TR

WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC STOP THE VEHICLE STALLED. CRANKED IT TWICE AND GOT IT STARTED. ON THE NEXT LIGHT IT STALLED AGAIN WHEN SLOWING. THE GAS WAS AT 3/4 FULL. NEXT TIME, MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED WHEN SLOWING TO STOP AT AN EXIT. DEEMED UNSAFE BUT REALIZED THE IT HAPPENED AFTER GAS WAS FILLED OR CLOSER TO FULL. HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES WITH THE LAST BEING ON 3/5/14. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS AND PULLING ONTO THE STATE HIGHWAY THE CAR MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING. IT STARTED BACK UP AND GOT UP TO AROUND 45 MPH THEN THE MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING AGAIN. AGAIN THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND GOT UP TO AROUND 25 MPH AND THE MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING. THEN IT STARTED BACK UP, BUCKED ABOUT 15-20 TIMES AND GOT ME HOME. NEXT DAY THE CAR RAN FINE. FIVE DAYS LATER, FILLED THE CARS GAS TANK UP AGAIN AND PULLED INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING, WAS ALMOST HIT BY A DUMP TRUCK. AGAIN THE CAR STARTED BACK UP GOT UP TO AROUND 35 MPH AND THE MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING. THIS HAS NOW BEEN HAPPENING AFTER EVERY REFILL. I DON'T TOP OFF THE TANK.

I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON MY WAY TO GAS STATION. CALLED AAA, THEY BROUGHT ME 1 GAL OF GAS. CAR STARTED FINE AND DROVE TO GAS STATION (4 MILES) WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER FILLING TANK CAR STALLED REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING ON STREET (5 OR 6 TIMES ON WAY HOME, MAYBE 5 MILES). PROBLEM OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE NEXT WEEK. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. SINCE THIS TIME EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK THE PROBLEM RE-APPEARS AND CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING OR AT STOP LIGHT. PROBLEM PERSISTS FOR A WEEK OR SO. ALSO, WHEN THE CAR STALLS AND THE ENGINE IS RE-STARTED THE TRANSMISSION WON'T ENGAGE FOR 10 TO 15 SECONDS AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR THE MOST RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP AND GRADUALLY DISAPPEARS AS FUEL LEVEL GETS LOWER. AFTER A WEEK OR SO THE CAR RUNS FINE, NO STALLING. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN DAILY SO IT TAKES A WHILE TO BURN SOME OF THE GAS OUT. I'VE PROBABLY FILLED THE TANK 4 TIMES SINCE ORIGINAL ONSET OF PROBLEM. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER DRIVING OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE LOWER CONTROL ARM FRACTURED. THE CONTACT ALSO MENTIONED THAT THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS CONFIRMED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE AND VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHENEVER I FILL MY GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHIN ONE OR TWO BLOCKS FROM GAS PUMPS. IT CAN HAPPEN AT 20 MILES AN HOUR OR LESS. IT CAN HAPPEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY AT 50 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR WILL START RIGHT UP AND WILL NORMALLY RUN FINE AFTER STALLING. ON ONE OR TWO OCCASIONS IT STALLED TWICE AFTER A FILL UP. LATELY IT HAPPENS AFTER EACH FILL UP REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION OR BRAND OF GAS.

SUDDEN ENGINE STALL MOSTLY FEW MILES AFTER FUEL CHARGE. THIS PROBLEMS WERE HAPPENED FROM SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT ALMOST EVERY FUEL CHARGE. WHEN STALL ENGINE, IT'S DIFFICULT RESTART FEW MINUTES. ONE CASE SUDDEN STALL AT DRIVING MAKES ME PANIC LOOSING POWER ASSIST OF STEERING AND BRAKE, ALMOST HIT SIDE WALK AT MY NEIGHBORHOOD. ASKED DEALERSHIP TO SEE AND MADE SOME REPAIR FOR FUEL INJECTION, EGR VALVE. BUT PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

I FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS, STARTED TO EXIT THE STATION AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE OUT OF FUEL LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULL AND IT CONTINUED TO STALL AND SPUTTER. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST EVENT AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE TYPE.

VEHICLE STALLS REPEATEDLY AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY FUEL TANK AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE, THE ENGINE DIED. RESTARTED ENGINE AND IT DIED AGAIN. AFTER THE THIRD RESTART IT CONTINUED TO RUN. AFTER HAVING THIS OCCUR APPROXIMATELY 12-15 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 6 MONTHS, I DISCOVERED THAT IF I FILL IT NO MORE THAN14 GALLONS MAXIMUM, THE PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR. THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS REPORTED IN PE13016, HOWEVER I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE DIE AT BOTH LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS (50-65 MPH). *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, EXITED THE GAS STATION AND PROCEEDED THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT 10-15 MPH AND THE ENGINE STUMBLED FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A CHECK OIL LIGHT (NO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT) AND ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. I COASTED TO A STOP, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE; AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AND I DROVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY IF I FILL THE FUEL TANK FROM A NEARLY EMPTY CONDITION (AT ON NEAR "E"). THE ENGINE WILL ALWAYS STUMBLE ONCE BEFORE IT STOPS RUNNING. AS SUCH, I'M RELEGATED TO EXERCISING CAUTION AFTER ANY/ALL FILL-UPS (DRIVE AROUND A PARKING LOT FOR EXAMPLE) AND NEVER HAVE KIDS IN THE CAR. FILLING THE TANK FROM A 1/4 FULL CONDITION SEEMS TO HELP. *TR

I'M A 78 YEAR OLD SENIOR CITIZEN, AND I'M THE ONLY OWNER MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM A FRIENDS FUNERAL AND I WAS JUST A FEW MILES AWAY FROM THE HOUSE WHEN THE CAR STARTED SKIPPING AND JERKING. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THE VEHICLE COULD NOT PULL UP MY DRIVEWAY.I SEE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS HAD 2 RECALLS FOR THE POWERTRAIN AND 10 SERVICE BULLETINS. I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REBUILT SINCE IT IS NO LONGER MANUFACTURED. CAN THE MANUFACTUR OFFER ANY GOODWILL ASSISTANCE. *TR

WHENEVER I FILL UP MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM 5.7 RT, IT DIES WITHOUT NOTICE AFTERWARDS. IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 10 MILES TO WORK OUT ALL OF THE DIEING AND STALLING BEFORE IT WORKS NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED TO THE TOP. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SO I'M VERY PARANOID AFTER GETTING GAS NOW, THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY DODGE. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY CAR AND DRIVING ON THE 710 FREEWAY, WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR JUST STALLED. THE STEERING GOT HARD TO TURN AS THE VEHICLE WAS STALLED. I MANAGED TO CRUISE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT THE VEHICLE TO START AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING IT DID IT 2 MORE TIMES UNTIL MY GAS STARTED TO GO DOWN. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER FUELLING CAR DRIVE A FEW MILES CAR STALLS TURNS ON THEN DRIVE AND STALLS AGAIN. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER REFUELING. *TR

THE MAGNUM CONTINUALLY STALLS AFTER FILL UP. WE HAVE MADE A CONCERTED EFFORT NOT TO OVER FILL THE VEHICLE, BUT IT CONTINUES TO STALL FOR A FEW MILES AFTER FILL UP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR ALMOST 20,000 MILES NOW. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. EITHER MY WIFE OR I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED DUE TO STALLING IN TRAFFIC. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN FIX IT FOR AROUND $1400. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL, NOT SOMETHING DUMPED ON THE OWNER. WHEN YOU GO TO ALL THE MOPAR BLOGS, THIS ISSUE IS COMMON ON ALL 06 - 07 CHARGERS, MAGNUMS AND CHRYSLER 300S. THEY KNOW IT'S THE CHECK VALVE, AND KNOW IT WAS A POOR DESIGN, BUT TOO BAD CONSUMER. *TR

THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER REFUELING,SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO SIT LIKE 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. *TR

AFTER FUELING THE CAR UP IT STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES (IN TRAFFIC) WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS SINCE THEN. UPON STOPPING AND RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE ENGINE SURGED AND STALLED AGAIN. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL TANK. *TR

STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH, THEN REFIRED SEVERAL TIMES. LEAVING FROM A STOPLIGHT THE MAGNUM DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO INTERSECTING HIGHWAYS, RESTARTED, THEN DIED AGAIN. ISSUES STARTED SHORTLY AFTER RE-FUELING WITH A FULL TANK. NOW, AFTER A MONTH, THE STALLING OCCURS AS LOW AS 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL. WILL RUN FINE FOR A COUPLE DAYS, THEN WITH NO WARNING, STALLING COMES BACK AND IS CURRENTLY ON-GOING. *TR

TIME: AFTER A FUEL REFILL EARLIER IN THE DAY (ALWAYS ASK GAS STATION ATTENDANT TO -NOT- TOP OFF THE TANK AND USUALLY PROVIDE AN EXACT NUMBER OF GALLONS TO MAKE SURE THE GAUGE WILL READ JUST UNDER FULL AFTER THE GAS REFILL) EVENT: CAR STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT ABOUT 25MPH THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR WILL STALL AT JUST ABOUT ANYTIME (ON THE HIGHWAY, MAKING A TURN, DRIVING ALONG SUBURBAN ROADS). AT THIS TIME THE ONLY SOLUTION I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IS TO REV THE ENGINE SIGNIFICANTLY FAST AFTER THE REFUEL AND/OR DRIVE IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR (BY DOWNSHIFTING VIA THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER) FOR AT LEAST 10MINUTES OF DRIVING TIME. IT HAS NOW BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST ACTIVITY ON THE CURRENT NHTSA PE13-016 INVESTIGATION (LAST ACTIVITY REFERRED TO ON THE WEBSITE WAS AUGUST OF 2013). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL IS CLEARLY NEEDED TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE. CAN SOMEONE AT NHTSA PLEASE POST AN UPDATE ON THE INVESTIGATION? *TR

I WAS DRIVING WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR FELT SHAKY AND ROUGH AND STARTED SPUTTERING AND LOSING IDLE UNLESS I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE GAS. CAR WILL START UP BUT AS SOON AS I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS IT DIES.ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. MECHANIC STATED THERE IS NO COMPRESSION IN #4 CYLINDER OF ENGINE. COST IS ESTIMATED AT $1800 JUST TO TEAR ENGINE DOWN TO FURTHER DIAGNOSE. CAR WAS RUNNING EXCELLENTLY AND NEXT SECOND THIS. NO WARNING. MY MILEAGE WAS ONLY 93899 AT TIME OF FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH THE VEHICLE STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, ALSO STALLS WHILE CAR IS NOT MOVING, WHETHER IN PARK, REVERSE, OR DRIVE THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND SOMETIMES STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, IF CAR IS MOVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30 AND THE STALL HAPPENS IT WILL KICK RIGHT BACK UP ON IT'S OWN. *TR

ON 4 OCCASIONS TO DATE, THE MOST RECENT OCCURRING ON 12/21/13, THE ENGINE STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER REFUELING. ALL OCCASIONS OCCURRED AT IDLE. SAFETY HAZARD EXISTS WHILE EXITING VEHICLE ON BUSY ROADS TO PUSH TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR

AFTER FILL UP, MY MAGNUM BEGINS TO JERK AND STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO START FOR 3 MIN.. AFTER STARTING AND STOPPING FOR 15 MIN IT BEGAN TO OPERATE NORMAL.I NOTICE THIS ONLY HAPPENS DURING FILL UPS. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR REGULARLY AFTER REFUELING. IT OCCURRED BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WAS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. ONCE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SURGED WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OF OPERATION UNTIL RETURNING TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY RISK. AS OF APRIL 2013, I NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE. MY WIFE PRESENTLY EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM WITH HER 2006 DODGE MAGNUM SRT-8 WITH THE 6.1L ENGINE. SHE HAS ALSO FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED WHEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION VERY SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR REGULARLY AFTER REFUELING. IT HAS OCCURRED BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. ONCE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SURGES WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OF OPERATION UNTIL RETURNING TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY RISK. MY HUSBAND ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH HIS 2006 DODGE MAGNUM RT WITH THE 5.7L ENGINE, RECENTLY TRADED IN FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. *TR

FILLED UP FUEL TANK, STARTED RUNNING ROUGH RIGHT AFTERWARDS, STALLING OUT WHEN PULLING UP TO STOP LIGHT, CLEARED UP AFTER DRIVING FOR AWHILE, ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL UP, WILL NOT HAPPEN IF I DON'T COMPLETELY FILL FUEL TANK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED RECURRINGLY. THE LOW ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED HOWEVER, THERE WAS ADEQUATE OIL IN THE VEHICLE. A LOCAL MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC BUT WAS UNABLE TO GENERATE A FAILURE CODE. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

I HAD JUST PICKED UP THE CAR IN QUESTION AFTER PURCHASING AT A USED CAR LOT THEN DROVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES BEFORE I STOPPED FOR FUEL AT WHICH TIME I FILLED THE TANK THEN AS I WENT TO PULL OUT INTO THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AND AT ABOUT 30 MPH THE CAR BEGAN STUTTERING THEN IT DIED. LUCKILY IT STARTED UP BEFORE THE CARS COMING HIT ME. I HAVE SINCE FILED IT UP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AFTER EACH TIME I FILLED UP , I THEN BEGAN DOING SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES SO THAT LED ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT? *TR

WHEN VEHICLE FUEL TANK IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE, CAR WILL STALL AND CUT OUT AND RUN VERY ROUGH. CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE AND FAMILY WHEN TRAVELING IN THIS CAR. VEHICLE HAS STARTED DOING THIS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. WAS TOLD NOT TO OVERFILL TANK AND I DO NOT OVERFILL IT. HAVE READ THAT THE ONLY FIX IS REPLACING THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE OF A FAULTY VALVE(?), WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

HAD JUST FILLED UP WITH FUEL WHEN TAKING OFF TO CROSS THE STREET THE CAR DIED AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A WHILE IT STARTED UP BUT DIED NUMEROUS TIMES THEN WAS FINE UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT STARTED LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN POWER CAME BACK.. THIS IS UNSAFE DUE TO THE CAR SLOWS DOWN FAST THEN POWERS BACK UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST SIX MONTHS, MY ENGINE HAS MISSED AND STALLED AFTER REFUELING. THIS OCCURS AFTER EACH REFUELING AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THERE IS NO WARNING THEN THE STALL MAY OCCUR. I'VE NOW INCURRED A VERY LARGE EXPENSE OF $2,340 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND I UNDERSTAND THE MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED. I HOPE THAT CAR OWNERS SUCH AS ME WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF THIS COSTLY REPAIR. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR UNPREDICTABLY STALLS UNTIL ABOUT 1/2 GALLON US USED FROM THE TANK. DEALER QUOTED $1500 WHEN INCIDENT FIRST OCCURED. *TR

MY DODGE MAGNUM FOR THE LAST YEAR " TOTAL OF 4 TIMES" HAS STALLED ONLY AFTER REFUELING ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING. THERE IS NO WARNING !. NO ENGINE LIGHT.! THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN . BUT THIS LAST TIME IT ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT. TOO CLOSE TO A DISASTER. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CAR . I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENS TO. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED !!! I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. I BABY MY CAR WITH SERVICING . I HAVE 134,282 MILES. I HAVEN'T HAD A ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVER. UNTIL NOW. I BELIEVE IT'S A FAULTY PART. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. AS WELL AS THE PSYCHICAL STRESS NOT KNOWING WHEN MY CAR FAILS ME. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL WITH THE DODGE MAGNUM FUEL SYSTEM? WHICH CAUSES A VAPOR LOCK WITHOUT WARNING. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO LOOSE A LIFE TO GET THIS ADDRESSED ? *TR

ENGINE STALLS EVERY TIME FUEL TANK IS FILLED. TYPICALLY OCCURS AT AN IDLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLUP. VEHICLE FUEL SYSTEM COMPLETELY COMPROMISED LEAVING DRIVERS STRANDED IN TRAFFIC AND HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS DUE TO STALLING AT LOW SPEED, OR ACCELERATION FROM A LOW SPEED. HAS STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. HAS STALLED ON FREEWAY FORCING UNSAFE SITUATIONS. FUEL SYSTEM NOW DEFECTIVE DUE TO RECURRING INCIDENTS. ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE FUEL, BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED AS I WAS MAKING A U-TURN. VEHICLE REQUIRED 3 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART AND AFTER SUCCESSFULLY STARTING THE VEHICLE, TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS. *TR
