2006 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

AFTER FUELING THE CAR UP IT STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES (IN TRAFFIC) WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS SINCE THEN. UPON STOPPING AND RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE ENGINE SURGED AND STALLED AGAIN. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL TANK. *TR

THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER REFUELING,SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO SIT LIKE 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. *TR

STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH, THEN REFIRED SEVERAL TIMES. LEAVING FROM A STOPLIGHT THE MAGNUM DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO INTERSECTING HIGHWAYS, RESTARTED, THEN DIED AGAIN. ISSUES STARTED SHORTLY AFTER RE-FUELING WITH A FULL TANK. NOW, AFTER A MONTH, THE STALLING OCCURS AS LOW AS 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL. WILL RUN FINE FOR A COUPLE DAYS, THEN WITH NO WARNING, STALLING COMES BACK AND IS CURRENTLY ON-GOING. *TR

TIME: AFTER A FUEL REFILL EARLIER IN THE DAY (ALWAYS ASK GAS STATION ATTENDANT TO -NOT- TOP OFF THE TANK AND USUALLY PROVIDE AN EXACT NUMBER OF GALLONS TO MAKE SURE THE GAUGE WILL READ JUST UNDER FULL AFTER THE GAS REFILL) EVENT: CAR STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT ABOUT 25MPH THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR WILL STALL AT JUST ABOUT ANYTIME (ON THE HIGHWAY, MAKING A TURN, DRIVING ALONG SUBURBAN ROADS). AT THIS TIME THE ONLY SOLUTION I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IS TO REV THE ENGINE SIGNIFICANTLY FAST AFTER THE REFUEL AND/OR DRIVE IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR (BY DOWNSHIFTING VIA THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER) FOR AT LEAST 10MINUTES OF DRIVING TIME. IT HAS NOW BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST ACTIVITY ON THE CURRENT NHTSA PE13-016 INVESTIGATION (LAST ACTIVITY REFERRED TO ON THE WEBSITE WAS AUGUST OF 2013). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL IS CLEARLY NEEDED TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE. CAN SOMEONE AT NHTSA PLEASE POST AN UPDATE ON THE INVESTIGATION? *TR

I WAS DRIVING WHEN SUDDENLY MY CAR FELT SHAKY AND ROUGH AND STARTED SPUTTERING AND LOSING IDLE UNLESS I KEPT MY FOOT ON THE GAS. CAR WILL START UP BUT AS SOON AS I TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS IT DIES.ENGINE LIGHT STARTED BLINKING. MECHANIC STATED THERE IS NO COMPRESSION IN #4 CYLINDER OF ENGINE. COST IS ESTIMATED AT $1800 JUST TO TEAR ENGINE DOWN TO FURTHER DIAGNOSE. CAR WAS RUNNING EXCELLENTLY AND NEXT SECOND THIS. NO WARNING. MY MILEAGE WAS ONLY 93899 AT TIME OF FAILURE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH THE VEHICLE STALL WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, ALSO STALLS WHILE CAR IS NOT MOVING, WHETHER IN PARK, REVERSE, OR DRIVE THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND SOMETIMES STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, IF CAR IS MOVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30 AND THE STALL HAPPENS IT WILL KICK RIGHT BACK UP ON IT'S OWN. *TR

AFTER FILL UP, MY MAGNUM BEGINS TO JERK AND STALLED IN THE INTERSECTION. THE CAR WAS UNABLE TO START FOR 3 MIN.. AFTER STARTING AND STOPPING FOR 15 MIN IT BEGAN TO OPERATE NORMAL.I NOTICE THIS ONLY HAPPENS DURING FILL UPS. *TR

ON 4 OCCASIONS TO DATE, THE MOST RECENT OCCURRING ON 12/21/13, THE ENGINE STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER REFUELING. ALL OCCASIONS OCCURRED AT IDLE. SAFETY HAZARD EXISTS WHILE EXITING VEHICLE ON BUSY ROADS TO PUSH TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR

VEHICLE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR REGULARLY AFTER REFUELING. IT OCCURRED BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WAS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. ONCE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SURGED WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OF OPERATION UNTIL RETURNING TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY RISK. AS OF APRIL 2013, I NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE. MY WIFE PRESENTLY EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM WITH HER 2006 DODGE MAGNUM SRT-8 WITH THE 6.1L ENGINE. SHE HAS ALSO FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. *TR
