36 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2011

My Dodge Magnum r/t, 2005, periodically stalls for the first several miles after a fill-up. This was sporatic at first, but now happens with nearly every fill-up. Normally it will be a momentary event while under power, but if I am stopped and idling the engine will die. It will typically restart right away.

37 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/14/2010

After a complete fill up (letting the pump shut off on it's own, and not adding any addition fuel afterwards), I left the gas station, and the almost immediately had a rough idle. After several hundred feet, the car stalled. It took multiple attempts and stalls to finally get the car moving forward. When I learned the problem was $800+ to fix, I decided to try and fill the car not quite to full. It's sometimes works, and sometimes doesn't. It's probably happened to me a dozen times since the initial fault.

38 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/03/2010

Car stalled (loss of power) after having refueled (to full). Occurred multiple times until we determined that fueling to 3/4 full resulted in no stalling. Stalling occurred within 1/4 mile of driving away from fueling location - often in traffic!.

39 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 01/01/2010

Car engine quits running after startup following refueling, and several times thereafter, requiring that the engine be restarted each time. It occurs after each refueling. All operational control of the vehicle is lost when the engine quits. I consider this to be a great safety hazard.

40 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2008

This incident, first that I remember, happened a few miles after filling up my car with gas (89 octane as recommended). I was slowing down while approaching a traffic light and at about 10 mph, my car just shut off. I've had several of the same incidents the years since (about 4 or 5 times a year, I don't really keep track, but it happens quite often still) and that's even after switching to 93 octane, then installing an upgraded camshaft and getting my motor tuned for optimal performance.
