general problems of the 2006 Dodge Magnum

This is the second time I have been stuck on the side of the road showing that my car has a quarter tank of gas and it just dies on me. I was rescued with some fuel and it started right back up again. Upon checking for recalls for this issue, I came across some 2005 to 2006 Dodge Magnums or chargers with fuel tank recalls. I called Chrysler and they are saying my VIN does not apply to the fuel tank recall. How is it, I am having the same exact issue as those VIN’s affected by this recall. I think it is something to look into. I have gone on Dodge forums and read people’s stories about the same issue as I am having and I am sure they are unaware of the steps they can take with the NHTSA to file a complaint where an investigation could be imminent. Please advise. This has happened more than once so now I consider an empty tank when I am at a quarter tank reading on my gas meter.

The engine in my 2006 Dodge Magnum has begun stalling out after fueling precisely as described in NHTSA action number pe13016. The first time it happened I was in the middle of a u-turn at a busy intersection. The engine died and I lost power steering and power brakes. I was able to brute-force the steering wheel and narrowly avoided hopping the curb and hitting the light pole on the corner. This light pole might have just as easily been a pedestrian. I called my local Dodge dealer (ontario Dodge, ontario California) to explain the problem and arrange to bring the car in. I let them know that I was aware that this issue was addressed under NHTSA action number pe13016 and should be covered under the lifetime warranty extension. I was told by the service adviser that I am required to drop off my car and that it would be 7-10 days before they would look at it. I suggested that they put me on a list and I could bring my car in 7-10 days at a time when they were able to look at it. They were unwilling to do this. They're insisting that my car sit in their lot for 7-10 days before they will even look at it. This isn't a scheduling issue. I can go on their website today and schedule my car for any other service tomorrow. No, this is a punitive action. Clearly they don't want to do the repairs and they're hoping I'll just go away by making it unreasonably difficult; not to mention expensive considering that a rental car will now be required. Chrysler and their dealers are not acting in good faith with regards to their agreement with the NHTSA and pe13016. In my experience and opinion they're doing whatever they can to evade these repairs. I'm a little disappointed that a full recall wasn't ordered. The agreement the NHTSA made with Chrysler left them with a little too much wiggle room in my opinion.

After filling up gas car stalls out while driving, will start back up but shuts down again. Going up hill car stalls and shuts off I have to hit the gas pedal to keep it running.

This has happened two times since owning the car only 2 weeks. Both times when we filled up at a gas station, the car would stall several times immediately after leaving the gas station and getting up to speed or at speed. The car would stop in the middle of traffic, and would always restart when put in park, but this causes a safety situation if we are turning, entering a freeway, etc.

Dodge mag timing belt recalled. Car heated up after driving it for two months and the timing belt snapped and left me and my child on the side of the road , nothing indicated that it was heating up until the car shut down by itself when I was driving.

Engine stalls while stopped also while driving. Which can cause serious accident.

Every time I fill gas the engine stalls repeatedly for about a minute or longer. Becomes dangerous when trying to accelerate out of an intersection and it stalls.

Engine light on will not turn off. Comes back on after , dealer turned it off.

Car stalling while stopped or at low cruising speeds. Then the car is hard to restart. After restarting the car will not go into gear for a while.

Car stalls after fueling rendering all power assisted features useless. . Power steering & power brakes. Wife and kids almost rear ended in normal traffic and t-boned when turning left in intersection!!!!!!! please help!!!!!!.

Car dies after fill up always.

While driving vehicle car will stall and only give about 5percent power. It can happen anytime has happened multiple times. Dealer had vehicle for a month and cannot determine the issues. I was almost hit by moving vehicles multiple times.

On multiple ocassions, during the re-fueling operation up to full level, the vehicle will stall out. No trouble codes are stored. After restart, and while driving away the vehicle may unexpectedly stall-out on one or more ocassions while stopped in gear, or at slow speed or while accelerating from a stop after the refueling has taken place. When the car stalls out while driving, the vehicles behind you do not know that there is a problem with the vehicle and near accidents have occurred. Additionally, if accelerating from a stop, cross traffic also does not know that there was a problem with your car, and near accidents have again almost occurred becuase you have not cleared out of the intersection at the rate/timing that the other driver would have reasonably expected. These unexpected stalls may occur until such time that the car has burned off some fuel by either time or by higher speeds, but even at higher speeds you can still have some hesitation and "surging". Situation occurs after re-fueling up to full level only, and without regard to fuel octane level, whether cold or hot outside temperature or engine condition.

While waiting at a traffic stop the vehicle stalled. Cranked it twice and got it started. On the next light it stalled again when slowing. The gas was at 3/4 full. Next time, my wife and kids were on the freeway when the car stalled when slowing to stop at an exit. Deemed unsafe but realized the it happened after gas was filled or closer to full. Happened a couple more times with the last being on 3/5/14.

I have been experiencing a safety hazard with my 2006 Dodge Magnum rt for several months. When the vehicle is filled up with gas it will stall out when driving down the road. This happens regardless of what speed you are going and occurs every time the car is filled up. I have done extensive research and found that I am not alone with this issue and that the warranty was extended for certain VIN codes through Chrysler. Unfortunately my VIN was not a part of that warranty extension even though I am experiencing the exact issue that this covers. There have been several times where the car has stalled while driving in traffic which could have resulted in a major accident, luckily I was able to avoid any collisions. Maybe next time I won't be so lucky though. . .

After fill up, my Magnum begins to jerk and stalled in the intersection. The car was unable to start for 3 min. . After starting and stopping for 15 min it began to operate normal. I notice this only happens during fill ups.

After filling up with gas, upon driving the car will die. At approximately 5mph the car will suddenly die and will not respond. Car will not start until after a few minutes of sitting. No cel lights or codes thrown.

Normal fill up at costco 91 octane - started to drive away the Magnum srt8 stalled and the vehicle behind me leaving the parking lot hit me. Could not get it to run correctly for about 30 minutes. My wife and baby in the car very worried.

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 ?.

I had stopped in the waco, TX area to fill up with gas on my way to italy, TX. I filled my vehicle up with gas, started it, and was entering in some gps coordinates when the car shuddered and died. This was the first time it happened. Since then it has probably happened 18-24 times, always immediately following a fill up at the gas station. Sometimes it dies in traffic, other times the engine will surge as if I had touched the accelerator pedal while sitting at a red light.

I was driving when the vehicle failed to accelerate over 55 mph (sometimes it would not go over 35 mph). The failure resolved temporarily when the vehicle was restarted. When this does occur the electronic throttle position and traction control light both come on and the car revs up loudly until it is shut off. It is dangerous when you are going 65-70 mph on the highway and the car drops down to 35 mph. Now that the weather is colder it happens more often including as soon as you start the car. There also is a lot of shaking while on the highway or while braking. I took the car to a Dodge dealer and they said the suspension is extremely loose, which again is dangerous because the wheel could just fall off. I also have the problem that I cannot get the gear out of park at any point. I did find the recall and called Chrysler, but they say my VIN is not part of the recall (why not? it is the same problem). They notated it, but have not done anything to help me. I have to keep my car in neutral and put the emergency brake on anytime I park. There have been several occasions I cannot park in spots because even with the brake on the car still rolls. I have read several other complaints on here and see these are all common problems and may all have recalls and I feel my car should be included in those.

After filling my car and driving on the 710 freeway, while getting on the freeway the car just stalled. The steering got hard to turn as the vehicle was stalled. I managed to cruise to the side of the road and got the vehicle to start again. While driving it did it 2 more times until my gas started to go down. This happens almost every time I fill up the vehicle.
