2006 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

I FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS, STARTED TO EXIT THE STATION AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE OUT OF FUEL LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULL AND IT CONTINUED TO STALL AND SPUTTER. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST EVENT AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE TYPE.

SUDDEN ENGINE STALL MOSTLY FEW MILES AFTER FUEL CHARGE. THIS PROBLEMS WERE HAPPENED FROM SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT ALMOST EVERY FUEL CHARGE. WHEN STALL ENGINE, IT'S DIFFICULT RESTART FEW MINUTES. ONE CASE SUDDEN STALL AT DRIVING MAKES ME PANIC LOOSING POWER ASSIST OF STEERING AND BRAKE, ALMOST HIT SIDE WALK AT MY NEIGHBORHOOD. ASKED DEALERSHIP TO SEE AND MADE SOME REPAIR FOR FUEL INJECTION, EGR VALVE. BUT PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

WHENEVER I FILL MY GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHIN ONE OR TWO BLOCKS FROM GAS PUMPS. IT CAN HAPPEN AT 20 MILES AN HOUR OR LESS. IT CAN HAPPEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY AT 50 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR WILL START RIGHT UP AND WILL NORMALLY RUN FINE AFTER STALLING. ON ONE OR TWO OCCASIONS IT STALLED TWICE AFTER A FILL UP. LATELY IT HAPPENS AFTER EACH FILL UP REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION OR BRAND OF GAS.

AFTER FILLING UP MY FUEL TANK AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE, THE ENGINE DIED. RESTARTED ENGINE AND IT DIED AGAIN. AFTER THE THIRD RESTART IT CONTINUED TO RUN. AFTER HAVING THIS OCCUR APPROXIMATELY 12-15 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 6 MONTHS, I DISCOVERED THAT IF I FILL IT NO MORE THAN14 GALLONS MAXIMUM, THE PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR. THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS REPORTED IN PE13016, HOWEVER I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE DIE AT BOTH LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS (50-65 MPH). *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, EXITED THE GAS STATION AND PROCEEDED THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT 10-15 MPH AND THE ENGINE STUMBLED FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A CHECK OIL LIGHT (NO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT) AND ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. I COASTED TO A STOP, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE; AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AND I DROVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY IF I FILL THE FUEL TANK FROM A NEARLY EMPTY CONDITION (AT ON NEAR "E"). THE ENGINE WILL ALWAYS STUMBLE ONCE BEFORE IT STOPS RUNNING. AS SUCH, I'M RELEGATED TO EXERCISING CAUTION AFTER ANY/ALL FILL-UPS (DRIVE AROUND A PARKING LOT FOR EXAMPLE) AND NEVER HAVE KIDS IN THE CAR. FILLING THE TANK FROM A 1/4 FULL CONDITION SEEMS TO HELP. *TR

I'M A 78 YEAR OLD SENIOR CITIZEN, AND I'M THE ONLY OWNER MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. IT CURRENTLY HAS LESS THAN 15,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS ON MY WAY HOME FROM A FRIENDS FUNERAL AND I WAS JUST A FEW MILES AWAY FROM THE HOUSE WHEN THE CAR STARTED SKIPPING AND JERKING. BY THE TIME I GOT HOME THE VEHICLE COULD NOT PULL UP MY DRIVEWAY.I SEE THAT MY VEHICLE HAS HAD 2 RECALLS FOR THE POWERTRAIN AND 10 SERVICE BULLETINS. I'VE BEEN INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WILL NEED TO BE REBUILT SINCE IT IS NO LONGER MANUFACTURED. CAN THE MANUFACTUR OFFER ANY GOODWILL ASSISTANCE. *TR

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. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY CAR AND DRIVING ON THE 710 FREEWAY, WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR JUST STALLED. THE STEERING GOT HARD TO TURN AS THE VEHICLE WAS STALLED. I MANAGED TO CRUISE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT THE VEHICLE TO START AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING IT DID IT 2 MORE TIMES UNTIL MY GAS STARTED TO GO DOWN. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER FUELLING CAR DRIVE A FEW MILES CAR STALLS TURNS ON THEN DRIVE AND STALLS AGAIN. *TR

THE MAGNUM CONTINUALLY STALLS AFTER FILL UP. WE HAVE MADE A CONCERTED EFFORT NOT TO OVER FILL THE VEHICLE, BUT IT CONTINUES TO STALL FOR A FEW MILES AFTER FILL UP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR ALMOST 20,000 MILES NOW. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. EITHER MY WIFE OR I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED DUE TO STALLING IN TRAFFIC. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN FIX IT FOR AROUND $1400. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL, NOT SOMETHING DUMPED ON THE OWNER. WHEN YOU GO TO ALL THE MOPAR BLOGS, THIS ISSUE IS COMMON ON ALL 06 - 07 CHARGERS, MAGNUMS AND CHRYSLER 300S. THEY KNOW IT'S THE CHECK VALVE, AND KNOW IT WAS A POOR DESIGN, BUT TOO BAD CONSUMER. *TR
