FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH, THEN REFIRED SEVERAL TIMES. LEAVING FROM A STOPLIGHT THE MAGNUM DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO INTERSECTING HIGHWAYS, RESTARTED, THEN DIED AGAIN. ISSUES STARTED SHORTLY AFTER RE-FUELING WITH A FULL TANK. NOW, AFTER A MONTH, THE STALLING OCCURS AS LOW AS 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL. WILL RUN FINE FOR A COUPLE DAYS, THEN WITH NO WARNING, STALLING COMES BACK AND IS CURRENTLY ON-GOING. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, STEERING, ENGINE
TIME: AFTER A FUEL REFILL EARLIER IN THE DAY (ALWAYS ASK GAS STATION ATTENDANT TO -NOT- TOP OFF THE TANK AND USUALLY PROVIDE AN EXACT NUMBER OF GALLONS TO MAKE SURE THE GAUGE WILL READ JUST UNDER FULL AFTER THE GAS REFILL) EVENT: CAR STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT ABOUT 25MPH THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR WILL STALL AT JUST ABOUT ANYTIME (ON THE HIGHWAY, MAKING A TURN, DRIVING ALONG SUBURBAN ROADS). AT THIS TIME THE ONLY SOLUTION I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IS TO REV THE ENGINE SIGNIFICANTLY FAST AFTER THE REFUEL AND/OR DRIVE IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR (BY DOWNSHIFTING VIA THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER) FOR AT LEAST 10MINUTES OF DRIVING TIME. IT HAS NOW BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST ACTIVITY ON THE CURRENT NHTSA PE13-016 INVESTIGATION (LAST ACTIVITY REFERRED TO ON THE WEBSITE WAS AUGUST OF 2013). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL IS CLEARLY NEEDED TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE. CAN SOMEONE AT NHTSA PLEASE POST AN UPDATE ON THE INVESTIGATION? *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE
VEHICLE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR REGULARLY AFTER REFUELING. IT OCCURRED BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WAS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. ONCE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SURGED WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OF OPERATION UNTIL RETURNING TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY RISK. AS OF APRIL 2013, I NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE. MY WIFE PRESENTLY EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM WITH HER 2006 DODGE MAGNUM SRT-8 WITH THE 6.1L ENGINE. SHE HAS ALSO FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAD JUST PICKED UP THE CAR IN QUESTION AFTER PURCHASING AT A USED CAR LOT THEN DROVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES BEFORE I STOPPED FOR FUEL AT WHICH TIME I FILLED THE TANK THEN AS I WENT TO PULL OUT INTO THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AND AT ABOUT 30 MPH THE CAR BEGAN STUTTERING THEN IT DIED. LUCKILY IT STARTED UP BEFORE THE CARS COMING HIT ME. I HAVE SINCE FILED IT UP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AFTER EACH TIME I FILLED UP , I THEN BEGAN DOING SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES SO THAT LED ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
WHEN VEHICLE FUEL TANK IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE, CAR WILL STALL AND CUT OUT AND RUN VERY ROUGH. CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE AND FAMILY WHEN TRAVELING IN THIS CAR. VEHICLE HAS STARTED DOING THIS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. WAS TOLD NOT TO OVERFILL TANK AND I DO NOT OVERFILL IT. HAVE READ THAT THE ONLY FIX IS REPLACING THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE OF A FAULTY VALVE(?), WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
HAD JUST FILLED UP WITH FUEL WHEN TAKING OFF TO CROSS THE STREET THE CAR DIED AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A WHILE IT STARTED UP BUT DIED NUMEROUS TIMES THEN WAS FINE UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT STARTED LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN POWER CAME BACK.. THIS IS UNSAFE DUE TO THE CAR SLOWS DOWN FAST THEN POWERS BACK UP. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST SIX MONTHS, MY ENGINE HAS MISSED AND STALLED AFTER REFUELING. THIS OCCURS AFTER EACH REFUELING AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THERE IS NO WARNING THEN THE STALL MAY OCCUR. I'VE NOW INCURRED A VERY LARGE EXPENSE OF $2,340 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND I UNDERSTAND THE MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED. I HOPE THAT CAR OWNERS SUCH AS ME WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF THIS COSTLY REPAIR. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
MY DODGE MAGNUM FOR THE LAST YEAR " TOTAL OF 4 TIMES" HAS STALLED ONLY AFTER REFUELING ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING. THERE IS NO WARNING !. NO ENGINE LIGHT.! THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN . BUT THIS LAST TIME IT ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT. TOO CLOSE TO A DISASTER. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CAR . I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENS TO. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED !!! I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. I BABY MY CAR WITH SERVICING . I HAVE 134,282 MILES. I HAVEN'T HAD A ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVER. UNTIL NOW. I BELIEVE IT'S A FAULTY PART. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. AS WELL AS THE PSYCHICAL STRESS NOT KNOWING WHEN MY CAR FAILS ME. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL WITH THE DODGE MAGNUM FUEL SYSTEM? WHICH CAUSES A VAPOR LOCK WITHOUT WARNING. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO LOOSE A LIFE TO GET THIS ADDRESSED ? *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
ENGINE STALLS EVERY TIME FUEL TANK IS FILLED. TYPICALLY OCCURS AT AN IDLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLUP. VEHICLE FUEL SYSTEM COMPLETELY COMPROMISED LEAVING DRIVERS STRANDED IN TRAFFIC AND HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS DUE TO STALLING AT LOW SPEED, OR ACCELERATION FROM A LOW SPEED. HAS STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. HAS STALLED ON FREEWAY FORCING UNSAFE SITUATIONS. FUEL SYSTEM NOW DEFECTIVE DUE TO RECURRING INCIDENTS. ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE FUEL, BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR
