I went to the parking lot at my dr. S office to go home. I started the engine and there was a loud rattling type sound and the engine stalled. It would not stay running. Lots of smoke when started. I had the car towed to the local Dodge dealer for diagnosis. Was told the next day that there was over 90% compression. Loss. Internal cylinder or other failure indicated. Recommended tear down for $1850. 00 only 80,000 miles, serviced regularly by the dealer. No warning. I declined the teardown and had car towed home. Has been parked since October 2016. Retired/disabled. I cannot afford any major repair. Factory defect should be fixed by manufacturer.

Engine stalled while driving minutes after filling the fuel tank. A known problem with these cars. Had to pull over and run the vehicle for 15 minutes before the engine could run steadily without stalling .
The engine stalls randomly after stopping at a stop sign or red light. This will ofter occur several times in a row. After restarting the car it will not go into gear and be stuck in neutral. The problem will also occur at speed, dying causing a small decelleration and then starting again on its own. This is very dangerous because the driver behind you has no indication that you are stalled and stopping unexpectedly.
Hi, I have a 2006 Dodge Magnum srt8. During the first incident in April 2014, my car stalled at lights and engine would not restart. I got gasoline after the first stall and it continued after I filled my tank with gas. The second incident just occurred last night 11/4/14 and I went to the gas station to fill the tank. I noticed a sound like air pressure was being released from my gas tank (normal from filling up) and then the car would not restart very easily and stalled. I was able to get the car started but it stalled at every idle at stop lights. I just noticed that though a google search that the fed is probing engine stalls on approx 192k Chrysler/Dodge models with the same issue. . Read more...
The engine stalls after refueling,sometimes it will restart other times I have to sit like 15 minutes before it will restart.
On 4 occasions to date, the most recent occurring on 12/21/13, the engine stalls multiple times after refueling. All occasions occurred at idle. Safety hazard exists while exiting vehicle on busy roads to push to side of the road.
I experience 2 types of engine stall. First incident - car engine would stall at a stop light and happen several times. I completed a tune up thinking it was a spark plug and problem continues. My mechanic tested the car for one day and cannot tell me why it would stall. Second incident - car engine would stall at 10 miles per hour causing the car to stop which is dangerous.
After filling up at a local gas station, I drove away, about a quarter mile and stopped at a stop light. The engine stalled as I stopped. I shifted to neutral and attempted to restart the motor 3 times before it would run. Once started, I drove for about another mile, and when I slowed to make a right turn, it stalled again. I was able to restart and the vehicle ran fine after that. This is roughly the fourth time this has occurred. The last two times, I realized that they were immediately after a fill up.
Low fuel light came on, stopped at a gas station to fill up. I filled the tank full up to when the gas-refill-nozzle clicked off, and then a little more - up to the next whole dollar. Recapped my tank, and began to drive away. The engine bucked a bit then stalled. Was a bit harder than normal to get it restarted. Then slowed for the first traffic signal and it suddenly died in busy traffic! hard to get it restarted. Pulled away from the stop light and it bucked and stuttered some more and then cleared up in a couple miles. This has happened about 3 times since this behavior started. Two times for sure the car was running during the refill. I will pay attention in the future to see if it only happens during refill with it still running.
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.
The milage and date are approximates. The most recent occurence was on 4/5/14 at about 69980 miles. When I fill up my gas tank, without "topping off", the engine will stall shortly afterwards when I am driving at low speeds. This will happen several time until the car has had time to sit for a period of time (hours to overnight). This usually occurs when I come to an intersection or I am moving at low speeds.
After filing the fuel tank, the engine will sputter and stall. When it first began to happen to me, it seemed like I was getting bad gas. Now I know that this occurs primarily after I make a left turn and is due to a part that is inside the fuel tank. The part fails and the result is this problem with the engine stalling. This is a known problem with older Magnums, chargers, and Chrysler 300's. It is dangerous!! this has happened to be on interstate 95 and just when I got into the travel lane the engine died. I think the left turn I made was a few mile before I got to the entrance ramp and it caught me off-guard. I was lucky to be able to pull over and get onto the shoulder. This is a design failure and is not normal wear & tear. All of the older cars mentioned here can be affected. I assume you have received prior complains about this issue. Dodge is no help, but should be required to fix this problem. Thanks.
After filling the gas tank, the car stalled at the next 3 intersections and ran rough once on moderate acceleration. No engine codes or warning lights appeared. Engine was able to be restarted nut only when depressing the accelerator pedal slightly. Would not re-start otherwise. Problem resolved itself after about 15 minutes of operation. Since then, issue has re-surfaced approximately 6 times with similar symptoms; occasionally with engine stalling while the car is slowing down but still moving. All time are associated with the first few minutes of operation after filling the gas tank.
