2006 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

THE VEHICLE BEGIN TO STALL OR SHUT-OFF AFTER FILLING TANK UP, IF IT DID NOT SHUT-OFF THE CAR, IT (CAR) WOULD SHUTTER FOR A COUPLE OF MILES BEFORE CAR RAN NORMAL. *TR

AT LOW SPEEDS AND STOPS MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. SOMETIMES 3-5 TIMES IN AS SHORT OF A DRIVE AS 10 MILES, MAINLY AT INTERSECTIONS. WORST INCIDENT WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WITH A CAR COMING THE DIRECTION I WAS TURNING, I LOST ENGINE POWER AS WELL AS POWER-STEERING. IN ALL INSTANCES I SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO PULL AWAY, ALTHOUGH IN SOME CASES IT WOULD NOT INITIALLY ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. I FIRST EXPERIENCED AFTER PUTTING A FULL TANK OF GAS IN ALTHOUGH NOW IT DOES NOT MATTER THE FUEL LEVEL. IT HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING MORE FREQUENT. *TR

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. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED WHICH WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE HOWEVER, THE DEALER REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE ENGINE CONTINUED TO STALL WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED. THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 118,000.

CAR STALLED AFTER FILLING UP HAD TO RESTART STALLED AGAIN ON HIGHWAY GOING APPROX 25MPH. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP THOUGHT BAD GAS BUT SEE PE13-016. ALSO ON ONE OCCASION CAR WOULD NOT START. FINALLY STARTED WITH A LOT OF WHITE SMOKE. *TR

JUST AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK ON THIS VEHICLE, I EXPERIENCED STALLING 3 TIMES, INCLUDING IN AN INTERSECTION. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY REPORTED THAT IT WAS THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. I ALERTED THEM TO THE CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY REPORTED THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED AS PART OF THIS WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON THE PART OF CHRYSLER AS IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE WARRANTY. THIS NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL VEHICLES AS IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS STALLING IN AN INTERSECTION IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE MILEAGE AND DATE ARE APPROXIMATES. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 4/5/14 AT ABOUT 69980 MILES. WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, WITHOUT "TOPPING OFF", THE ENGINE WILL STALL SHORTLY AFTERWARDS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIME UNTIL THE CAR HAS HAD TIME TO SIT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (HOURS TO OVERNIGHT). THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I COME TO AN INTERSECTION OR I AM MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR

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... *TR

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.

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. *TR
