FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
IN APRIL 2013 I TOOK MY 05 MAGNUM TO SUNSET DODGE IN SARASOTA TO FIND OUT WHY THE CAR WAS STALLING AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS. AFTER 5 MONTHS OF GOING BACK TO THEM AND THEM NOT BEING ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. I STOPPED FILLING THE CAR UP ALL THE WAY AND THE PROBLEM STOPPED. THIS IS WHAT I NEED TO DO TO KEEP THE CAR RUNNING. THE DEALER SAID IT IS NOT OUR PROBLEM. I NOW FIND OUT IT WAS A KNOW ISSUE AND MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. WHAT CAN YOU DO.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
CAR ENGINE QUITS RUNNING AFTER STARTUP FOLLOWING REFUELING, AND SEVERAL TIMES THEREAFTER, REQUIRING THAT THE ENGINE BE RESTARTED EACH TIME. IT OCCURS AFTER EACH REFUELING. ALL OPERATIONAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IS LOST WHEN THE ENGINE QUITS. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A GREAT SAFETY HAZARD.

POWER TRAIN
NOTICED WITH CERTAIN SPEEDS AND RPM RANGES, TRANSMISSION (42RLE) WILL HAVE VERY HARD UPSHIFT (FEELS ALMOST LIKE I'M BEING REAR ENDED) AND LACK POWER COMPARED TO OTHER TIMES. AS DISCUSSED IN A FORUM, OTHERS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE, BUT IT SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH THE TORQUE CONVERTER CLUTCH AND/OR THE PCM PROGRAMMING THAT MAKES THE TRANSMISSION BEHAVE IN THIS WAY. I TAKE CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND PERFORM REGULAR MAINTENANCE. EVEN AFTER TRANSMISSION FLUSHES, PROBLEM IS STILL PRESENT.

WHEELS
ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2005 DODGE MAGNUM R/T 5.7L. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME SINCE PURCHASE OF THE CAR THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE LUG NUTS ON ALL 4 TIRES. THIS IS THE 2ND COMPLAINT FILED. I FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT IN 2014. LUG NUTS SHOULD NOT BE DESIGNED WITH FANCY CHROME THAT SPINS ROUND AND ROUND AND REQUIRES SPECIAL SOCKET TO REMOVE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHER CAR OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED MY SITUATION WITH LUG NUTS BUT THE DESIGN AND COST FOR REPLACEMENT IS CRIMINAL AND REQUIRES AN INVESTIGATION.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
FILLED FUEL TANK UP AS USUAL THEN STARTED THE CAR AND IMMEDIATELY THE CAR STALLED. I RESTARTED IT AND IT STALLED AGAIN. STARTED CAR AGAIN WHILE PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL AND IT DROVE A FEW SECONDS THEN A SUPER HARD MISFIRE AND IT CUT OFF AGAIN. FINALLY STARTS AND IDLES TERRIBLY...RUNS TERRIBLY FOR ABOUT 10 MILES THEN IT SEEMS TO BALANCE ITSELF OUT. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING CONSISTENTLY FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS AND ALMOST CAUSED SOMEONE TO REAR END ME A FEW TIMES. I HEAR THERE'S A RECALL OR LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE FUEL TANK BUT NO NOTICE WAS EVER SENT TO ME.

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAVE OWNED THIS 2006 DODGE MAGNUM SE V6 2.7L FROM NEW, BOUGHT IN APRIL 2006, THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS WITH THE CAR STALLING, WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, HAPPENING TODAY WHEN TURNING LEFT AT A STOP LIGHT AND STARTING UPHILL. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER PULLING TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT POWER, COMING TO A STOP, PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTARTING. I MADE IT BACK HOME, BUT THE CAR HAS BEEN CRANKING OVER AND NOT STARTING WHEN IN MY GARAGE, THIS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN BEFORE FROM 2006 ONWARD TO TODAY, ONLY A FEW TIMES A YEAR, AND CHANGED OUT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY EACH TIME AND THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR HAS NEVER STALLED WHILE DRIVING BEFORE NOW, ONLY WHEN SITTING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. THE CAR ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES NOW AFTER 13 YEARS, I ALWAYS BABY THE CAR AND IT STILL LOOKS NEW. THANKS FOR ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER
