FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
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 RESOLVED AND ADDRESSED! ESPECIALLY AFTER FINDING THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER 2006 DODGE MAGNUM OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM! TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK BY A CERTIFIED DODGE MECHANIC IT WILL COST ABOUT $2,000 IN PARTS AND LABOR. HOW DO I GET HELP WITH THIS RECALL ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE VIN ON MY CAR IS NOT SHOWING IT IS ELIGIBLE OR INCLUDED IN THE RECALL??

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. AFTER FUELING THE VEHICLE AND TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE VEHICLE STARTED TO HESITATE AND SHUT OFF. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY ONE BLOCK, THE FAILURE RECURRED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 58254079. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

IT'S STARTED MAKING A LOUD CLICKING NOISE SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SENSOR IN THE DASH BEHIND THE STEERING COLUMN THAT KEEPS THE EXHAUST FROM COMING BACK INSIDE THE CAR. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE FILLED THE FUEL TANK AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED, SOMETIMES IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE GAS STATION, OTHER TIMES ATTEMPTING TO STALL BUT NOT CUTTING OFF, WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START THE CAR WHEN IT HAS CUT OFF IN THE PARKING LOT, AND IF IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING BY "FEATHERING" THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL IT STARTS TO RUN NORMALLY. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES TO MINE, EACH HAVING THE 6.1L HEMI ENGINE OR THE 5.7 HEMI. IT APPEARS THAT I MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WHERE THE FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT FAILS TO PERFORM PROPERLY. I READ THAT THE NHTSA PE13016 WAS ISSUED THAT RELATES TO THIS PROBLEM. I CANNOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE SINCE I NO LONGER FILL THE TANK. (NOTE THAT I HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM UNLESS I HAVE FILLED THE TANK. MONTHS AGO, I WAS ABLE TO FILL THE TANK WITHOUT EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT WAS A WHILE BACK. (I ESTIMATED THE LATEST DATE IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS FORM.)

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE CAR STALLS SOON AFTER REFILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE FILLING WAS STOPPED WHEN THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A STREET, AND ALSO WHILE TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY. THE CAR BECOMES DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER ASSIST PROVIDED TO THE STEERING AND BRAKES BY THE ENGINE. THIS APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY A LACK OF FUEL TO THE ENGINE. THE CAR HAS RESTARTED, SO FAR, AFTER A FEW SECONDS SITTING STILL IN THE TRAFFIC.

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.
