Tank Filler Pipe And Cap Problems of Dodge Magnum

Filled up my tank and drove about a quarter of a mile and it just died when I came to a stopped. Dealer said if it happens again I would have to change the evap canister and the. Fuel tank. Have not done that. I removed the gas cap and it seems to be ok for now. I have to have it diagnosed later.

After filling up at the gas station, I was attempting to get back on the freeway when the car stalled at the stop sign. I received help in pushing the car out of the busy intersection. Due to the instrument panel warning lights I checked the oil levels and if the gas cap was secured properly. Both were fine and I was able to start the car and drive to the on-ramp of the freeway when it stalled again. I was barely able to coast to the side of the busy on-ramp and was a hazard to the many semi trucks making the turn onto the freeway. After waiting for almost an hour for the car to cool I checked the oil again. It was full and fresh after being serviced recently. A chp officer spotted me on the ramp and I informed him of which panel lights lit up and the what the manual suggested. He wanted to check if I had oil pressure and suggested I attempt to turn it on. Indeed the pressure was fine but the car had a rough idle, sputtered and died again. After turning it over again there was a strong smell of fuel, I tried revving the engine. It died again. The chp officer and I agreed it was a fuel problem and informed me it would be cheaper if I called a tow truck than if he did and said he would be back to check on me. I was able to get the car running long enough to back off the on-ramp and into a parking lot. It died two more times. After getting it started again I revved the engine until it idled properly and went home. While researching the problem on lxforums. Com I became aware of a faulty gas tank issue which was the cause. While I'm grateful I was driving slowly when this happened it was still a safety hazard to myself and others to have a car die so suddenly. Apparently, Chrysler is aware of this problem and I will be submitting this issue to them as well. On lxforums. Com a surprising number of vehicles have this same problem. Thank you for your time.
