Other Fuel System Tank Assembly problems of the 2006 Dodge Magnum

Here we are 15 months later and only 2,330 miles from my last complaint about my 2006 Dodge Magnum stalling after a fuel fill up or when turning left, it happened yet again today, I know there is a current fuel tank recall for 2005 - 2006 Dodge charger, Magnum & Chrysler 300's with the v8 5. 7l & 6. 1l, yet nothing for the v6 2. 7l & 3. 5l, why? they all use the same exact gas tank, which have been proven to be defective, I;m the original owner of this car and it still only have 76,233 miles, so it should be covered but is not, please expand this recall x53 to cover all Magnums and chargers and Chrysler 300s. . . . We v6 owners should also have a voice in our own safety and recalls when our cars all use the same gas tanks.

I purchased a 2006 Dodge Magnum last week on 4/4/2019 odometer reading at 109, 545. 2 days after I purchased the car it needed fuel and I filled the gas tank. I then left the gas station. Within less than a mile the engine stalled as if it were trying to shut off. This happened 4 times within 1 minute and less than a mile from the gas station. Since I was merging onto a highway, I could not just pull over. I continued off the merge and into the highway. Then it stopped. With hesitation I continued down the highway. About 20 miles down the highway later and driving at the speed limit of 70 mph, I accelerated on the gas pedal to go up a small hill and maintain the speed limit of 70 mph. The car again tries to stall out and shut off and it continued to do this 3 more times. I had to drive yet another 50 miles to make it home and I was very uneasy the whole time. I did make it home without any additional insidents. The incident was very unsettling. I dread what happens the next time I put gas in it as this seemed to be the trigger of the incident. I went home to research the issue and sure enough this a common complaint among Dodge Magnum owners. Apparently there had been a recall for an issue with the gas tank. My VIN does not show up or qualify for the recall but is indeed having this shared problem. I feel it is a major safety issue for anyone on the highway. Causing serious injury and or death to myself, my passengers and any other drivers on the road. This issue needs to be resolved and addressed! especially after finding there are so many other 2006 Dodge Magnum owners having the same problem! to replace the gas tank by a certified Dodge mechanic it will cost about $2,000 in parts and labor. How do I get help with this recall issue even though the VIN on my car is not showing it is eligible or included in the recall??.

On several occasions, I have filled the fuel tank and when attempting to leave, the engine has stalled, sometimes in the parking lot of the gas station, other times attempting to stall but not cutting off, while driving on the road. I have been able to start the car when it has cut off in the parking lot, and if it stalled while driving, I have been able to keep it running by "feathering" the accelerator until it starts to run normally. I have read similar complaints about other owners with similar vehicles to mine, each having the 6. 1l hemi engine or the 5. 7 hemi. It appears that I may have the same problem, where the fuel shut-off float fails to perform properly. I read that the NHTSA pe13016 was issued that relates to this problem. I cannot provide a specific date since I no longer fill the tank. (note that I haven't had the problem unless I have filled the tank. Months ago, I was able to fill the tank without experiencing the problem, but that was a while back. (I estimated the latest date in order to complete this form. ).

Car stalls randomly when fuel tank is full or after fill up. May stall without warning when in motion or stationary. This is a known issue with this model and similar models. Cause is a faulty fuel tank.

For four years my vehicle stalls each time I put gasoline in the tank. On several occasions I have stalled in an intersection as well as busy roads.

Had filled up gas tank, upon pulling out experienced engine hesitation and lack of power. A few minutes later while passing though a major intersection with 3 children in car, vehicle stalled, causing loss of power steering and of course any means of propulsion. The vehicle started again but stalled three more times before returning home. This is an extremely hazardous situation which can endanger lives in a high speed and high traffic situation.

Second incident: November 27, 2014 driving to van nuys, CA from simi valley, CA at approx. 5:30 pm, filled up gas tank and proceeded down street towards freeway onramp, car stalled 3 times before getting on freeway. This is the second incident (happened two weeks prior, also following fuel fill-up). First incident (two weeks prior to second incident): filled up tank in porter ranch, CA, headed to van nuys, CA. . . Drove on freeway ok, exited freeway at roscoe blvd and turned left. Car stalled in the middle of left hand turn. Extremely dangerous and life threatening if car stalls in the middle of a left hand turn as oncoming traffic approaches.

After fueling car to near the full mark I was attempting to enter the traffic flow on interstate 75 at ocala. The car lost power and the engine died ( no power brakes or steering) attempted to restart car in neutral while attempting to maintain control of car. Traffic was running 70mph and I was merging into the traffic flow. The car would not restart acting as if flooded. Luckily I was driving and not my wife who has musclar dystrophy as she would not have been able to control the car. My research indicates the problem is known by Dodge and is related to a purge vent valve in the fuel tank. It seems the velvet sticks open and allows gas , not just the fumes to be recirculated to the throttle body (intake) and floods the engine. Dodge states this problem can affect all Dodge charger, Magnum and 300 modle cars. It requires a fuel tank replacement as the purge valve is incorporated into the tank itself.

I stopped to get fuel and started off on my trip I went to get on the freeway and the car stalled when trying to merge into traffic. Had to Dodge a few cars and coasted to the side of the road. I tried to restart the car a few times and it finally restarted. I continued on my trip without any problems until I stopped and filled the gas tank back up. This time I was in heavy traffic and had no place to go, pissed off a few people for blocking traffic but finally got the car restarted.

Filled tank with fuel car stalled after stating and sitting at light . This is not the first time it has happened the last three times I have filled up.

For the last 60 to 90 days , my car has being turning off several times . I took it for maintenance and everything was updated, brakes , oil change . I was advised it was my fuel tank . This needs to be fixed ASAP , I drive my children with me all the time .

Had just filled fuel tank and vehicle stalled before getting out of gas station driveway. I was coming to a stop as exiting station and while braking (almost at a full stop), experienced a quick engine surge and then engine stalled. Luckily I was at a stop, shifted to park and restarted vehicle. The same thing happened less than a mile away as I was making a right right turn, without power steering the vehicle was now stalled in the oncoming lane. I came to a full stop, shifted to park and restarted again. Luckily I was less than a mile from my office and just parked vehicle there. The same thing happened when I last filled my tank (approx 10 days ago), stalling several times before I could get out of the costco parking lot. On that occasion, I congested traffic for several minutes while waiting for the vehicle to restart and head home. It didn't occur again during the subsequent days, but today I fueled up again and got the exact same issue - so it's definitely something related to the fueling process. I've had the vehicle since it was brand new and this is a new issue.

When I fill my car with gas my engine will repeatedly stall anywhere from a minute or less to as long as 5 to 15 minutes upon leaving the station. Its very much like the pe13-016 investigation. In fact I've brought my car to the dealer and they have confirmed that my the gas tank is faulty. I did my research and uncovered your investigation and thought everything would be ok but it wasn't. Even though my car is a 2006 Dodge Magnum 5. 7l v8 with a 19 gallon fuel tank both the dealer (larry miller Dodge boise) and the Chrysler customer assistance center are adamant that my gas tank does not have the extended lifetime warranty described in pe13-016. They insist my car does not have the faulty tank that was the subject of your investigation. I don't claim to understand how stalling in traffic is not considered a safety issue and worthy of a recall but all other things equal, how come my car does not qualify for the extended lifetime warranty when even my dealer is saying my car has the exact same symptoms, its the right model year and the right configuration. This is not a trivial thing. Would you want to see your spouse and children randomly stalled out in traffic. And like me, I have found several other reports from fellow Chrysler lx series owners (magnum, charger & 300c) reporting that no, the car will not always start right back up. Very often we have to wrestle with it and suffer through multiple stalls and difficult starts before the problem clears itself. Please help.

My car stalls with a full tank of gas. The stall occurs after slowing down and coming to a stop. After placing the car in park and trying several times to start the car, the engine finally starts. I put it into drive, but it doesn't engage immediately. I then have to repeat by turning the car off and going thru the start and engage several times. This has happened several times while driving on the road with cars behind me. I get real panicky and don't feel at all safe with this situation. I noticed the connection between the full tank and the stalling after quite some time as the owner of the vehicle. I did some online research to find that many other owners have the same problem with the 300, charger and Magnum. I've also read articles online stating that you investigated the issue and found Chrysler at fault. With this finding, I would like Chrysler to fix the problem. At this time I have not contacted Chrysler as I'd like to find out if they will indeed fix the problem with a replacement. After all, this is what they said they would do. I also read they were mailing owners, but since owning the car since 2013, I have not received any contact from them concerning the fuel tank issue. What path do you suggest I take to remedy the situation of a fuel tank replacement by Chrysler? regards.

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?.

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.

Whenever I fill up my 2006 Dodge Magnum 5. 7 rt, it dies without notice afterwards. It usually takes about 10 miles to work out all of the dieing and stalling before it works normally. This happens everytime the gas tank is filled to the top. I was almost in an accident when this happened, so I'm very paranoid after getting gas now, this should be fixed by Dodge.

The contact owns a 2006 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated that while merging into traffic at 30 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning. Additionally, the vehicle would sporadically stall when the fuel tank was filled to capacity. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed, which located the failure at the computer central system. The computer was replaced however the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer advised the contact that NHTSA action number pe13016 (fuel system, gasoline) was not honored under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 102,000.

Qhen I fill up my gas tank the car starts to shut off every time I fill it up I have to put like 1/2 a tank so it doesn't shut off on me when im driving.

I filled the gas tank up, got in car and when I was merging on freeway car jerked several times and died. I was almost hit by multiple cars. Got car into neutral was able to restart but it died several more times. Now every time I fill it up the car dies in traffic at speed. I am afraid to drive it. The dealer says it is a faulty fuel tank but will not warranty the repair. I have done research and have found several forums with many people having this same issue with the Dodge Magnum and Chrysler 300. This is a safety issue and could get somebody killed if it hasn't already.

After fill up and not topping off tank car will sputter or even die and have to be restarted several times for the first 10 or so mile. My car has died several times in busy traffic almost causing a rear end collision from cars behind me.

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.

Just filled the tank and was leaving the gas station and the car stalled at the stop sign. Car continued to stall for several minutes and was hard to start each time, seems to stall at both low and high speeds. It's very dangerous for the car to just stall in mid traffic. This has happened numerous times since then until I realized it only happens when the gas tank is full. Took it to dealer today and they confirmed it is due to the fuel tank rollover valve sticking and blocking a vent. Only solution is to replace the entire gas tank. Car stalled once today on the way to the dealer service center (they wanted it with a full tank) and then three times on my way home after the completion of their analysis. It will continue to stall until the tank level goes down a gallon or so of fuel.

I had just filled up my gas tank and upon leaving the gas station and reaching the first stop light (~100 yards from the gas station) my car stalled. I was able to restart the car following a couple of tries. This was the only time this has happened to me in this car.

Vehicle stalling after fuel fill-up. The temporary fix of not "topping off" the tank worked for a few months. The problem is happening more frequently however, regardless of the fuel level. Car shutting off/losing power randomly is a severe safety hazard.

My car falls under the gas tank replacement program but the dealers keep putting off the replacement stating no parts availability. I was recently nearly hit while making a legal u turn when the car stalled twice leaving me sideways across 2 lanes of oncoming traffic. I do not want to sell my car but the situation is scary enough for me to park the car. But waiting a year for the part is ridiculous.

V8 engine repeatedly and unpredictably stalls and loses power during driving and turning situations. Recovers after 1-2 seconds in some instances, stalls completely and is difficult to restart in others. Produces extremely hazardous and dangerous situations in traffic and at intersections. Local Dodge dealer (hall Dodge) has had car for six weeks+ and has failed to correctly diagnose & repair. This appears to be a common very dangerous problem involves fuel tank valve, as it is more prevalent (see many online posts of identical symptoms since 2005 and before) after full fuel fill and persists until unrestricted fuel appears to have been used to sufficient degree. Dealer has replaced unlikely items such as sunroof module and the abs module in futile and inept attempts to skirt the real issue. Someone is going to die in one of these cars when it stalls --Chrysler Dodge is 100% knowledgeable of this defect in many of their cars, and will not acknowledge or make any attempt to correct it. We implore NHTSA to intervene immediately! posted 27 Feb 2013.

2nd submission - I did not get a confirmation of my first one and I have more information. My 2006 Dodge Magnum with the 5. 7l hemi has had and continues to have the issues outlined in NHTSA investigation pe 13016. It stalls out after fueling. It has now starting doing it when the weather gets much warmer during the day. I have contacted Chrysler via e-mail and was told my vehicle was not covered by the extension of the warranty on the gas tank and associated parts. I have contacted billion here in sioux falls and also papik in luverne mn and neither service department has heard of this issue, the investigation, or the fix. At thing point I may just have my local shop that I use fix it as it has become very nerve racking to drive. I should not have to pay out of pocket for something the company has committed to fix. I did download a copy of the letter from the NHTSA website that was linked to the investigation page. I never received a copy of this letter from Chrysler which is probably because I am the second owner of this car. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

I had just filled the tank of my 2006 Dodge Magnum and drove about 20 miles into town. After making a quick stop at a local store I once again got into the car and began driving approx. 30 mph. As I began to make a left hand turn all power was lost to the car; steering became nearly impossible, gas pedal did not work and I basically was dead in the road. I turned the key to off, placed the car in park and then restarted the engine. It started right up, began to drive and at the next light needed to take another left; with cars coming at me from the other direction I went to take the left when once again the entire car lost power. . No steering, no gas power, check oil light came on. I was lucky that the oncoming cars did not hit me and that I had allowed enough space incase the same thing occurred or there would have been a collision for sure. This has happened a few other times without any reason but we are always able to start it back up and then it may or may not happen again. Been told it is the "roll over valve" failing $2 grand to fix!!!!!.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Dodge Magnum. When the contact filled up the tank, she noticed that the top of the fuel tank was defective. The fuel tank top (the malfunction control valve) allowed fuel to leak into the purge line, which caused the engine to stall in traffic. Central florida Chrysler Dodge Jeep ram (8675 commodity cir, orlando, FL 32819, (321) 445-8017) stated that the vehicle met the criteria for technical service bulletin: 14-002-14 issued on April 22, 2014; however, the VIN was not included and the contact was denied coverage for the repairs. The manufacturer stated that the coverage was excluded for the vehicle and referred the contact to NHTSA. The failure mileage was 40,000.
