FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH CARS BEHIND ME. I GET REAL PANICKY AND DON'T FEEL AT ALL SAFE WITH THIS SITUATION. I NOTICED THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FULL TANK AND THE STALLING AFTER QUITE SOME TIME AS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH TO FIND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 300, CHARGER AND MAGNUM. I'VE ALSO READ ARTICLES ONLINE STATING THAT YOU INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE AND FOUND CHRYSLER AT FAULT. WITH THIS FINDING, I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME I HAVE NOT CONTACTED CHRYSLER AS I'D LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THEY WILL INDEED FIX THE PROBLEM WITH A REPLACEMENT. AFTER ALL, THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO. I ALSO READ THEY WERE MAILING OWNERS, BUT SINCE OWNING THE CAR SINCE 2013, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CONTACT FROM THEM CONCERNING THE FUEL TANK ISSUE. WHAT PATH DO YOU SUGGEST I TAKE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION OF A FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT BY CHRYSLER? REGARDS.

ENGINE
HELLO, IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN, WHETHER I FILL IT UP OR NOT, WEATHER I TOP IT OFF OR NOT, THE ENGINE WILL RUN ERRATICALLY, OFTEN STALLING MULTIPLE TIMES FOR NO REASON. IT HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AT ANY OTHER SPEEDS, AND GOING THROUGH TURNS, NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITH NO ENGINE I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL, BUT A LESS EXPERIENCED OR LESS STRONG DRIVER MAY LOOSE CONTROL, POSSIBLY WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A FEW HOURS, IT WILL USUALLY RUN OK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

WHEN FILLING UP MY VEHICLE THE CAR WILL SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, IT WILL SHUDDER AND THEN DIE ALL THE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WILL GO ON I WILL LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. IT ONLY DOES IT WHEN I FILL UP THE GAS TANK AND IF I AM STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR GOING UNDER 45MPH AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. IF IM GOING 60+ MILES IT WILL SPUTTER ACT LIKE IT IS GOING TO DIE BUT IT DOESN'T.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE AFTER MY MAGNUM NEARLY KILLED ME (LITERALLY). THEY TOLD ME TO 'PAY FOR MY REPAIRS AND KEEP MY RECEIPT IN CASE OF A RECALL'. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AND IT NEEDS ATTENTION. MY GAS PEDAL LITERALLY BROKE OFF WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND WAS STUCK WIDE OPEN. BY THAT I MEAN IT BROKE OFF COMPLETELY FROM THE ASSEMBLY THAT HOLDS THE PEDAL TO THE ACTUAL CAR ITSELF! THEN, AFTER I CONTACTED THEM TO BRING IT IN TO A SHOP, THE SHIFTER WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF DRIVE, AND WHEN I GOT IT OUT OF DRIVE, IT WILL NOT MOVE FROM PARK!! I HAVE DONE A LOT OF RESEARCH AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM IN THIS YEAR OF MAGNUM!!! IT IS GOING TO KILL SOMEONE!!! THANK GOD I WAS AT HOME SO NO ONE ELSE WOULD HAVE BEEN HARMED AND I WAS ABLE TO THINK QUICKLY! I LITERALLY ALMOST CRASHED INTO TWO VERY LARGE CEMENT SILO'S! THEY REFUSE TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE!!! IT SHOULDN'T MATTER HOW MANY MILES (IT HAS 157K WHICH IS PRETTY LOW FOR THAT YEAR) I HAVE NEVER HAD A GAS PEDAL BREAK OFF NOR HAVE I EVER HEARD OF THIS BEFORE I STARTED MY SEARCH!!

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
RECENTLY BOUGHT THIS CAR TOOK IT TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE CAR WAS CUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN WHETHER PARKED OR IN DRIVE WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND IT CAME UP WITH A CODE FOR CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR, GOT THAT CHANGED THE CODE WENT AWAY BUT THE CAR STILL TURNS OFF ON ITS OWN AND NO CODES SHOW UP. CRANKSHAFT HAS NOW BEEN CHANGED 2 TIMES&& THE ELECTRICAL THINGS WERE CHECKED JUST TO BE SAFE!&& A FEW DAYS AGO I WAS DRIVING MAYBE ABOUT 35MPH & THE CAR DECELERATED ON ITS OWN AND I COULDN'T ACCELERATE HAD TO TURN THE CAR OFF THEN BACK ON.

ENGINE
DROPPED VALVE SEAT: AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 800 MILES FROM MASSACHUSETTS TO NORTH CAROLINA, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM, I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND I STOPPED AT A MCDONALDS TO USE MY CELL PHONE AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR, AFTER ABOUT 5 MINS. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START, THEN AS THE ENGAINE TURNED OVER IT BEGAN TO MAKE CLUNKING SOUNDS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NEAR BY DODGE DEALER, WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE FAILED, COSTING ME $8,466.33 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS SHOWING THAT THIS FAILER SHOULDN'T HAD HAPPENED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN THE FLAW IN 2005-2007 HEMI 5.7 ENGINE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REFUND ME THE $8,465.33 THAT I HAD TO SPEND TO BUY A NEW ENGINE.
