2006 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

VEHICLE STALLED WHEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION VERY SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR REGULARLY AFTER REFUELING. IT HAS OCCURRED BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. ONCE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SURGES WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OF OPERATION UNTIL RETURNING TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY RISK. MY HUSBAND ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH HIS 2006 DODGE MAGNUM RT WITH THE 5.7L ENGINE, RECENTLY TRADED IN FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. *TR

FILLED UP FUEL TANK, STARTED RUNNING ROUGH RIGHT AFTERWARDS, STALLING OUT WHEN PULLING UP TO STOP LIGHT, CLEARED UP AFTER DRIVING FOR AWHILE, ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL UP, WILL NOT HAPPEN IF I DON'T COMPLETELY FILL FUEL TANK. *TR

I HAD JUST PICKED UP THE CAR IN QUESTION AFTER PURCHASING AT A USED CAR LOT THEN DROVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES BEFORE I STOPPED FOR FUEL AT WHICH TIME I FILLED THE TANK THEN AS I WENT TO PULL OUT INTO THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AND AT ABOUT 30 MPH THE CAR BEGAN STUTTERING THEN IT DIED. LUCKILY IT STARTED UP BEFORE THE CARS COMING HIT ME. I HAVE SINCE FILED IT UP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AFTER EACH TIME I FILLED UP , I THEN BEGAN DOING SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES SO THAT LED ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED RECURRINGLY. THE LOW ENGINE OIL WARNING LIGHT WOULD ILLUMINATE WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED HOWEVER, THERE WAS ADEQUATE OIL IN THE VEHICLE. A LOCAL MECHANIC PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC BUT WAS UNABLE TO GENERATE A FAILURE CODE. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE FAILURE COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A FUEL SYSTEM FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 115,000.

WHEN VEHICLE FUEL TANK IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE, CAR WILL STALL AND CUT OUT AND RUN VERY ROUGH. CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE AND FAMILY WHEN TRAVELING IN THIS CAR. VEHICLE HAS STARTED DOING THIS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. WAS TOLD NOT TO OVERFILL TANK AND I DO NOT OVERFILL IT. HAVE READ THAT THE ONLY FIX IS REPLACING THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE OF A FAULTY VALVE(?), WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

HAD JUST FILLED UP WITH FUEL WHEN TAKING OFF TO CROSS THE STREET THE CAR DIED AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A WHILE IT STARTED UP BUT DIED NUMEROUS TIMES THEN WAS FINE UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT STARTED LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN POWER CAME BACK.. THIS IS UNSAFE DUE TO THE CAR SLOWS DOWN FAST THEN POWERS BACK UP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 63,000.

OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST SIX MONTHS, MY ENGINE HAS MISSED AND STALLED AFTER REFUELING. THIS OCCURS AFTER EACH REFUELING AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THERE IS NO WARNING THEN THE STALL MAY OCCUR. I'VE NOW INCURRED A VERY LARGE EXPENSE OF $2,340 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND I UNDERSTAND THE MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED. I HOPE THAT CAR OWNERS SUCH AS ME WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF THIS COSTLY REPAIR. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE CAR UNPREDICTABLY STALLS UNTIL ABOUT 1/2 GALLON US USED FROM THE TANK. DEALER QUOTED $1500 WHEN INCIDENT FIRST OCCURED. *TR

MY DODGE MAGNUM FOR THE LAST YEAR " TOTAL OF 4 TIMES" HAS STALLED ONLY AFTER REFUELING ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING. THERE IS NO WARNING !. NO ENGINE LIGHT.! THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN . BUT THIS LAST TIME IT ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT. TOO CLOSE TO A DISASTER. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CAR . I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENS TO. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED !!! I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. I BABY MY CAR WITH SERVICING . I HAVE 134,282 MILES. I HAVEN'T HAD A ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVER. UNTIL NOW. I BELIEVE IT'S A FAULTY PART. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. AS WELL AS THE PSYCHICAL STRESS NOT KNOWING WHEN MY CAR FAILS ME. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL WITH THE DODGE MAGNUM FUEL SYSTEM? WHICH CAUSES A VAPOR LOCK WITHOUT WARNING. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO LOOSE A LIFE TO GET THIS ADDRESSED ? *TR
