Immediately after filling gas tank with new fuel the following has happened several times: the car will start at the gas station but shortly after leaving the gas station (within a block or when getting back onto the highway from a rest stop) the car will stall. The stall can happen at a traffic light or even on the way to reaching highway speeds. At this time my solution to the problem has been to rev the engine in neutral for a bit after getting the gas tank filled with fresh gasoline.

After filling up the car with fuel it would stall when driving it. On 11/23/12 I took the car to my local dealer,santa maria Chrysler-Jeep-Dodge. They informed me the fuel tank would need to be replaced because the vent valve on fuel tank was faulty. I paid for the repairs at cost of $1607. 25 on 11/28/12. I recently became aware of a recall for this problem but they say my VIN# does not qualify. The problem was a scary situation. I could have been seriously hurt if the car stalled in traffic. Apparently I am not the only one who experienced this problem. E.
After filling the car up with fuel, the car stalled multiple times in traffic. Slowly made my way to the dealership which was less than 1 mile away. The car stalled at the dealership multiple times. I was told it is characteristic of model, and just don't fill up tank anymore. Filled up tank 9/10s recently and car stalled multiple times on highway, very dangerous. Took into dealership again, they filled up the tank and it stalled on repairman. I was told I need to replace gas tank and fuel lines at a cost of over $2,000. 00.

Vehicle stalls after getting fuel and only when filling up the tank to full, we don't top off the tank after the fuel shuts off. We now have to guess when to stop filling the tank with how many gallons to add so it is 1 gallon or so below full. The car will stall after filling up and have to re-start if going at slower speed (5-15 mph) very dangerous when trying to leave a gas station or stop light. If at highway speeds then the car will still try to stall and jerks and slows down. Took it to a mechanic and they found an overflow valve sticks open and let's raw fuel down a tube and basically fluids the engine. The only fix is to replace the whole gas tank $3,000 dollars after labor.
The car, after filling with gas, suddenly stalled while driving down a main road. I had to stop in the middle of the road, put the car in neutral, restart it, put the car in drive, wait 2 seconds or so for the transmission to re-engage, and then I could move again. A truck slammed into the back of the car after it came to it's jerky stop and the oncoming truck didn't realize a person would be stopped in front of him where there was no light or stop sign. I found out later, from a car forum, that the 5. 7 liter Dodges have a rash of issues where the check valve that is part of the fuel tank fails and causes the emission system to get wet and the computer gets confused signals causing the car to stall (shortly after filling the tank). I found out that it would cost at least $1000 to change the entire gas tank as the only fix to the problem. I can't believe there isn't a recall for this dangerous problem. Luckily the damage in the crash wasn't severe although I suffered from whiplash as a result.
I too have experienced this stalling after filling the fuel tank. Takes several starting attempts before the engine will get back to running smoothly and stay running. It is completely repeatable as it happens each and every time the tank is filled. Some have said that the answer is to fill only until the fueling pump clicks off of automatic. Well, not with mine! anywhere near a full tank will cause the stalling problem any help would be greatly appreciated - no safety issues yet with this issue but would not like any either!.
After filling up the tank with regular 87 octane and traveling less than a mile the vehicle stalled. I would restart the vehicle and it would stall again several times until about 10-15 miles it would subside. I realized after several fill ups there must be a correlation so I took my 2005 v8 Magnum into the dealership. The dealership stated that it would cost between 1,500 to 2 grand to evaluate and fix the problem which they thought had to do with the fuel tank. Since I could not afford the repair cost the only remedy was to stop short of filling up the tank. No stalls occurred if I would fill up the tank 3/4. This went on for several years until one day I was distracted and filled the tank up 100%. It did not stall at low speeds but when I got on the highway stalled at 55 leaving me in an unsafe situation (not having control of the steering wheel). Fortunately I was strong enough to manipulate the steering wheel to the side of the highway. I was fearful to begin again at high speeds so I placed my flashers on and traveled several miles at 35 mph with several stalls to follow. Now it is may of 2014 and the dealership has no warranty or recall noticed on this vehicle.
Bought a used 2005 Dodge Magnum 5. 7l rt in 2011. I've had multiple stalling issues with the vehicle. Likes to stall right after filling up the gas tank. Also stalls with gas tank at nearly empty. Can sometimes stall when making right/left turns or u-turns at intersections. I've learned to only fill up to half a tank, but issues still occur. The vehicle always stalls when going up a ramp in a multiple story parking garage. When going up the ramp, just as the car begins to get level with the floor at the top of the ramp, the vehicle stalls just about every time. Seems like a gas tank fuel problem. I understand that a safety feature built into the vehicle turns the engine off in the event of fuel detection in an area of the gas tank where no gas should be. Most likely in case of an accident leading to roll over of the vehicle. This appears to be malfunctioning. Possible flaw in the design. Chrysler/Dodge needs to address this immediately before someone gets killed because their vehicle stalled while making a simple u-turn or while driving high speeds on a highway. Public safety should supersede any cost concerns the company may have to pay to fix this problem.
After filling up the fuel tank on the 2005 Dodge Magnum awd (5. 7l), the vehicle began to stall at idle. Throttle had to be feathered at stop lights to prevent stall. After fuel level decreased to 7/8th of a tank, the stalling stopped and the car behaved normally. This problem repeated four more times in 2012, then began to happen at every full fuel fill up in 2013. Starting in 2014, careful metering of the fuel into the tank showed that if the total fuel level was kept below 145 pints, the stalling behaviour would not happen.
After filling the car unpredictably stalls until about 1/2 gallon us used from the tank. Dealer quoted $1500 when incident first occured.
1. After filling up gas tank, car stalls out coming to a stop or slowing down. 2. Engine stalls slowing down even while going around turns. Happens every time after fill up. Very dangerous, lost power steering while going around turn and almost hit a curve, car behind almost hit me. 3. Only known fix is to replace fuel tank because rollover valve is apart of the tank.
From approximately August 2008 through August 2013, vehicle would stall at low speeds after filling fuel tank. Replaced fuel tank in August 2013, which corrected the issue. In response to NHTSA action number pe13016, Chrysler extended the fuel tank warranty on some 2005 and 2006 Dodge Magnum vehicles. My vehicle, which was manufactured during this time period and seemingly had the same issue as the affected vehicles, is not covered under Chrysler's warranty extension. Chrysler seems to have made a decision that will allow unsafe vehicles not covered under their warranty to continue to operate on the road.
