2006 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLING GAS TANK WITH NEW FUEL THE FOLLOWING HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES: THE CAR WILL START AT THE GAS STATION BUT SHORTLY AFTER LEAVING THE GAS STATION (WITHIN A BLOCK OR WHEN GETTING BACK ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM A REST STOP) THE CAR WILL STALL. THE STALL CAN HAPPEN AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR EVEN ON THE WAY TO REACHING HIGHWAY SPEEDS. AT THIS TIME MY SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN TO REV THE ENGINE IN NEUTRAL FOR A BIT AFTER GETTING THE GAS TANK FILLED WITH FRESH GASOLINE. *TR

AFTER REFUELING AND FILLING UP THE TANK, THE CAR WILL SHUTDOWN UNDER BRAKING, CORNERING OR AT A STOP. THIS HAPPENED SO FREQUENTLY I NO LONGER FILL THE TANK AND STOP AT 3/4. THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES REPORTED BOTH HERE AND IN CANADA ON THE CAR FORUMS. THE FIX HAS BEEN EITHER REPLACING THE TANK AND/OR THE EVAP VALVE AND PUMP. *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND REACHING THE FIRST STOP LIGHT (~100 YARDS FROM THE GAS STATION) MY CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR FOLLOWING A COUPLE OF TRIES. THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS CAR. *TR

I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 MAGNUM SRT8 THIS PAST WINTER. WITH ABSOLUTELY NO WARNING WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH IN DRIVE, THE ENGINE CUTOFF AND LOST ALL POWER COMPLETELY. I ALSO LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES. THANK GOODNESS I WAS ON A BACK ROAD. ALL OF THE WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR BACK IN PARK, COMPLETELY TURN OFF THE IGNITION AND RESTART THE CAR. IT RESTARTED WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. I DROVE A FEW MORE MILES AND THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED. AGAIN, LUCKY I WAS ON A BACK ROAD!! I MADE IT HOME AND IT STALLED A 3RD TIME JUST AS I PULLED IT INTO THE GARAGE. AGAIN, COMPLETELY RANDOM WHILE DRIVING!!!! I TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP WHO COULD NOT RE-CREATE THE PROBLEM. I PAID FOR THE 60,000 MILE SERVICE AND DID NOT HAVE ISSUES AGAIN UNTIL THIS PAST WEEKEND WHEN THE SAME ISSUE OCCURRED 5 TIMES IN 2 DAYS. AGAIN, COMPLETELY RANDOM WHILE DRIVING!!. DANGEROUS. THESE PARTICULAR TIMES OCCURRED AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. I HAVE READ MULTIPLE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED ON THE ROAD. I WILL BE TAKING MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP ONCE AGAIN FOR DIAGNOSTICS. I AM AN ANESTHESIOLOGIST AND IT DOESN'T TAKE TO ONE TO REALIZE THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS COMPLETE ATTENTION AND A COMPLETE INVESTIGATION. I LOVE MY CAR BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. DODGE AND NHTSA, YOU CANNOT IGNORE THIS. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME AS I WILL BE CONTACTING YOU. *TR

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND I REALIZED THAT MY LIGHTS WERE FLICKERING AND FLASHING WITHOUT ME HAVING TO TOUCH ANYTHING. FIRST I THOUGHT I HAD FUSES ISSUES OR SOME TYPE OF BAD CONNECTION. IT WASN'T THE CASE BECAUSE I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE MECHANICS AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A BAD CONNECTION. I TOOK BACK THE CAR BUT THE SITUATION WAS GETTING WORST O HE POINT THAT THE LIGHT CAN STAY OFF FOR MORE THEN 10 SECONDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND SUDDENLY COMEBACK ON. ALSO IT WILL KEEP DOING THAT THROUGH THE WHOLE TRIP. IN BROUGHT THE CAR BACK TO THE MECHANICS AND THEY FOUND THAT THAT'S AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE. I WENT ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THROUGH GOOGLE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH A LOT OF DODGES MAGNUM (ELECTRICAL PROBLEM). I THINK THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. SPECIALLY DRIVING AT NIGHT. THANK YOU FOR RUNNING AN INVESTIGATION IN THIS ISSUE. *TR

PLACED SHIFT LEVER IN PARK. COULD NOT GET IT OUT OF PARK NOR START ENGINE. *TR
