ENGINE SHUT OFF WHEN VEHICLE MOVING AND COULD NOT BE RESTARTED AGAIN. CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM WAS CAUSED BY A BAD IGNITION SWITCH. WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF DURING VEHICLE MOVING AT 50 MPH, PUT THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER INTO VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

2005 DODGE RT MAGNUM: RIGHT AFTER FULL-UP THE CAR START JERKING LIKE IF IT WAS TRYING TO CUT OFF, BUT THEN SMOOTHED BACK TO NORMAL OPERATION AND THEN STARTED AGAIN JERKING LIKE IF THE CAR WAS TRYING TO CUT OFF AND TRYING TO STAY STARTED. AFTER ABOUT 10 MILES THE CAR RUNNING WITHOUT A PROBLEM AGAIN. *TR

JUST FILLED UP VEHICLE, WAS LEAVING PARKING LOT, AND THE CAR STALLED. I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES, IT WAS VERY SCARY. HARD TO RESTART, WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AFTER THAT. STALLED A COUPLE TIMES SUBSEQUENTLY. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP WITH FUEL THE CAR HAS A TENDENCY TO STALL AT INTERSECTIONS OR STOP AND TURNS. ALSO WILL SURGE OR LOOSE POWER AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. USUALLY ONLY LAST FOR 0-15 MILES OR SO AND THEN GOES AWAY UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. I BELIEVE THIS FAULT IS DUE TO A FUEL TANK ISSUE, THAT WHEN FILLED CAUSES FUEL TO BE SHUT OFF TO ENGINE. POSSIBILITY FOR BEING REAR ENDED ARE VERY GREAT WITH THIS KIND OF PROBLEM. ESPECIALLY IN HIGH TRAFFIC AREAS.

THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN ROW WHILE FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GASOLINE. ONCE THE FILL UP IS COMPLETE AND THE CAR IS DRIVEN AWAY, WITHOUT WARNING, THE CAR WILL STALL AND UPON RESTARTING WILL STALL AGAIN UNEXPECTEDLY AND WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WHICH COULD LEAD TO INJURY OR DEATH WITH A VEHICLE THAT WILL STALL WITHOUT NOTICE AND IN TRAFFIC. *TR
