FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
SOON AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY CAR IT STARTED TO STALL AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. THE CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STARTED UP AS SOON AS I TRIED TO TURN IT ON AGAIN. AFTER DOING THAT STALLING MULTIPLE TIMES, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE EGR VALUE. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AGAIN THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL AGAIN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME THEY SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. WHILE THE 2006 DODGE CARS WITH THE SAME FEATURES HAVE BEEN GIVEN A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE GAS TANK, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON MY CAR FOR THIS ISSUE ON MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
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.

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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.

STEERING, ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
RUNNING LOW ON GAS ON JANUARY 15TH I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO REFUEL. I PURCHASED 91 OCTANE, PLACED THE NOZZLE IN THE GAS TANK TUBE AND BEGAN TO REFUEL. ONCE THE PUMP CLICKED I REPLACED THE GAS NOZZLE, TIGHTENED THE GAS CAP, STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE OFF. LESS THAN TWO MINUTES LATER AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON. I QUICKLY PLACED THE GEAR IN PARK, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER TRYING THREE TIMES IT FINALLY TURNS OVER AND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE OFF. ONE MINUTE LATER IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN AS I AM BEGINNING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. SAME SCENARIO AS BEFORE. NOW EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK TO THE POINT WHERE THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MILES OF DRIVING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
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

ENGINE
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

POWER TRAIN
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
CAR STALLS AFTER FUELING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT START UNTIL 2011. CAR TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES. BACK TO THE DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2013 AND WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THAT A NEW FUEL TANK WAS NEEDED. THE TANK REPLACEMENT WAS CHRYSLER'S RECOMMENDATION. THE TANK WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF ALMOST $2000.00. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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
