I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM RT FOR THE PAST YEAR: 1. CAR STALL AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN (ENGINE WOULD START AGAIN) 2. CAR WILL LOSE POWER (HESITATE FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS AND IT WOULD CHIME) 3. ENGINE DIED ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO PULL OVER (VERY DANGEROUS) DODGE REPLACE THE GAS TANK 2 TIMES AND STILL NOT REPAIRED. THE DODGE DEALER IN ELK GROVE CA CHARGED ME $140 AND I ACCORDING TO THE RECALL IT SHOULD BE WAIVED. THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES AND SOMEONE SHOULD LOOK INTO THIS BECAUSE IT IS VERY DANGEROUS.
