FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
THE VEHICLE STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER A FUEL FILL UP. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT WILL STALL EVEN WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF OTHER VEHICLES DON'T REALIZE MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED. UP TO THIS POINT I HAVE THANKFULLY NOT BEEN THE CAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT. I TRY TO NEVER FILL THE TANK DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. IT USUALLY STOPS ONCE I HAVE DRIVEN A FEW MILES AND IF I OPEN THE FUEL DOOR TO RELEASE THE BUILT UP VAPORS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
TAKATA RECALL VEHICLE STALLS ANYTIME . LOOSE POWER STEERING. UNABLE TO STEER IT. VERY DANGEROUS. DEALER SAYS THERE IS A FREE REPLACEMENT FOR FUEL TANK BECAUSE OF A DEFECTIVE VENT. I NEVER GOT A RECALL NOTICE, APPARENTLY IS JUST 2006 DODGE/CHRYSLER ISSUE. AND SPEND THOUSANDS ON NEW COMPUTER AND OTHER SERVICE TO FIND OUT THE CAUSE. FOUND THE DEFECTIVE VENT ISSUE ON LINE - CONFIRMED WITH DEALER I PURCHASED IT AT THAT TANK ISSUE IS COVERED. IF THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE, I WOULD HAVE HAD IT FIXED YEARS AGO. VEHICLE IS LOCATED IN DULUTH, MN/SUPERIOR, WI AREA NOW

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS AFTER FUELING UP. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM THAT HAS OCCURRED WITH THE X53 FUEL TANK. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS ISSUE THAT HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE HAZARD IS BECAUSE A STALLED VEHICLE IN THE ROAD IS NOW AN OBSTRUCTION AND AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. THE FACT THAT THIS ISSUE WAS DIAGNOSED ON THE V8 WITH A 19 GALLON TANK AND WAS COVERED BY A CHRYSLER WARRANTY EXTENSION ADMITS THE ISSUE WAS ON CHRYSLER AND SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO THESE VEHICLES AS WELL. SERVICE BULLETIN 14-002-14 AND WARRANTY EXTENSION BULLETIN ID-14-01 REFER TO THE EXACT ISSUE AS MY VEHICLE.

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
MY 2005 MAGNUM RT HEMI 5.7 STALLS AFTER A FUEL FILL-UP. DURING NORMAL DRIVING THE CAR SUDDENLY LOOSES POWER AND STALLS ONLY AFTER FILLING THE CAR UP AT THE GAS STATION. I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS FROM 2016-2019. I HAVE FOUND INFORMATION ON THIS ISSUE UNDER NHTSA REPORT PE13016 LISTED ONLINE AND SEE THE INVESTIGATION WAS CLOSED. ALSO SEE THAT DODGE SUPPOSEDLY CREATED AN "EXTENDED RECALL" FOR "STALLS AFTER FUEL FILL-UP" TO INCLUDE A FREE GAS TANK REPLACEMENT. HOWEVER THIS IS LISTED FOR 2006 VEHICLES AND I AM REPORTING THIS PROBLEM ON MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM RT (5.7 HEMI ENGINE). THIS CAN BE A SERIOUS ISSUE IF THE CAR STALLS IN TRAFFIC AS IT COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE. THIS ISSUE CAN HAPPEN WHEN TURNING RIGHT OR LEFT OR ON A STRAIGHT SECTION OF ROAD THE ONLY WAY TO PREVENT THE CAR FROM STALLING IS TO USE THE GEAR SHIFT TO KEEP THE RPM'S OF THE ENGINE HIGHER BY BEING IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. FROM SEARCHING THE INTERNET ON THIS ISSUE I HAVE FOUND MANY PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. WHEN SEARCHING ON PE13016 OR PE13-016 I HAVE FOUND MANY ARTICLES ABOUT THIS. THE SO CALLED "EXTENDED WARRANTY" FROM CHRYSLER SHOWS UP AS MISSING PAGE FOR AND REFERENCE TO X53 WHICH IS SUPPOSEDLY THE "EXTENDED RECALL" FOR ALL YEARS OF THE DODGE MAGNUM AND MANY OTHER DODGE OR CHRYSLER VEHICLES. IS IT GOING TO TAKE A FATALITY WITH THIS ISSUE FOR SOMEONE TO WAKE UP? WHAT DO I DO NOW? I HAVE NO RECALL FROM DODGE OR CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS ISSUE. THE ISSUE IS ONLY RESOLVED BY A GAS TANK REPLACEMENT FROM WHAT I CAN READ ONLINE.
