Just bought the car, filled up the fuel tank at gas station and went for a drive. At the first stop light I came to the car stalled while slowing down to stop coasted to a stop and restarted the engine after a few attempts, resumed driving and it was driving ok got onto the on-ramp to drive on the highway and it stalled again while merging into traffic same problem occurred several times until the fuel level went down after driving.
Every time I fill up the car with gas it hesitates and stalls immediately after I pull away from the pump. If I do not fill up - it never happens. At the Dodge dealership - I have been told I need a new evaporation canister and fuel tank as recommended by Chrysler. I have done some research and the issue appears over multiple Dodge/ Chrysler models. Yet there seems there is no recall or service bulletin on this issue. Original owner.
My car had been stalling after I would fill the fuel tank. First time was exiting gas station off the NJ turnpike and my 2005 Magnum stalled. I was almost rear ended by a tractor trailer. Another time I had just filled up and pulled out of station to make a turn for which the vehicle stalled once again. I took it to my mechanic who then in turned told me it was a bad fuel flow control valve, which is located in the gas tank. The price to replace the the gas tank would be between $1100-$1300 and is only way to resolve solution.
Stalls after filling gas tank, 2 to 5 times, coming to a stop, just driving. Need to restart.
I have had at least 3 of the issues of the complaints I am seeing here and wondering why there has been no recalls issued: 1) car would not accelerate or it would die after filling up the gas tank. Went on line and found others having similar problem. Fix: do not fill your gas tank up all the way and also do not let it get too close to empty. 2) neither the back hatch or the hood will stay up on their own. Have been hit in the head with the back hatch numerous times - sometimes it works. 3) could not get car out of park. Again went on line and even found a youtube video explaning how to remove the pink thingy from the gear counsel and all will be ok. Saved hundreds of dollars but now no safety due to the fact that car can be turned off in all gears.
2005 Dodge Magnum rt, 5. 7 hemi engine. Car stalls single or multiple times without warning, sometimes for several miles, after refueling. Stalling without warning occurs while car is moving or turning. Condition appears more pronounced at lower temperatures and when engine has not yet reached operating temperature. No codes set during episodes. Episodes unexpected, without warning, intermittent, and dangerous in traffic. Cause appears to be fuel tank control valve failure in fuel tank assembly leading to raw fuel contamination of purge canister. Liquid fuel appears to be entering evaporative emissions control system (on-board vapor recovery system) with fuel entering engine upon activation of purge solenoid, resulting in rich condition leading to stalling.
Filled the car up at the gas station and drove about a mile down the highway to neighborhood. Pulled into neighborhood and car stalled. Restarted after a few minutes then died aft first corner. Car stumble a few more time before I reached my driveway. This has happened multiple times. I can no longer fill my car all the way up. If I fill tank more than 3/4 full car will stall and die.
After filling the fuel tank I started the car and drove about 300 feet and the engine stalled. Stopped car and restarted it, drove another 600 feet to a red signal light and car stalled again. This happened five more times that day on the way home, ( about 25 miles ) by then it wasn't stalling anymore. It didn't happen again till I refilled the fuel tank and the stalling started all over again. This time I had to have it towed. After that I did some research on the computer and found other people had the same problem with this vehicle after they filled the fuel tank. Since then I only fill tank 3/4 full and have not had any stalling problems. Pain in the ass when I go on long trips !!.
2005 Dodge Magnum r/t has developed a huge fuel leak behind the tank at the junction of the fuel filler tube; evidently the hot plastic seal around the filler tube is failing and is going to cost me $1100. 00 to fix. I have never had a fuel tank fail and am %&:?# ticked off. I feel that I should not have to pay for a new fuel tank after only 100,000 miles. I have a Buick with well over 532,000 miles with not a single fuel tank issue. To me this a factory defect that nobody has picked up on.
