TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED A STRONG FUEL ODOR INSIDE THE VEHICLE THAT WORSENED WHEN ACCELERATING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO STATED THAT THE FUEL LINE TO THE FUEL PUMP THAT WAS LOCATED UNDER THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE SEAT FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,590.

THE REAR HATCH DOES NOT STAY UP WHEN LIFTED. AT TIMES THE HATCH FALLS WITHOUT WARNING AND HAS HIT ME IN THE HEAD SEVERAL TIMES. THIS IS AN INJURY WAITING TO HAPPEN AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

AFTER FILLING TANK AND DRIVING AWAY ENGINE IDLE SPEED WAS VERY ROUGH AND DECREASED ABOUT 500 RPM WHILE STOPPED AT A LIGHT. COULD CLEARLY FEEL ENGINE SHUDDER. GAS CAP WAS TIGHT AND THERE ARE NO OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS OR DRIVABILITY. THIS THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED AND IT IS ALWAYS AFTER A FILL UP. A HESSITATION WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I HAVE CHECKED OTHER OWNERS AND I AM CONFIDENT THE PROBLEM IS RELATED TO A DEFECT IN THE ROLL OVER VALVE IN THE TANK. DODGE RECENTLY ISSUED A RECALL ON THE ROLL OVER VALVES (MUST REPLACE ENTIRE TANK) FOR THE 5.7 LITER LX CARS BUT NOT THE 3.5 OR 2.7 MODELS. *TR

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

TODAY AFTER FILLING MY CAR A MILE FROM GAS STATION IT STALLED AT 45MPH. IT THEN STALLED AT EVERY STOP I MADE .CAR JUST DYES LOOSING POWER STEERING AND MADE IT INTERESTING TO WATCH MOTORISTS BEHIND ME SCRAMBLE TO AVOID ME. HAD CAR TOWED AT MY EXPENSE TO DODGE DEALER. THEY RETURNED A CALL STATING DODGE HAS FUEL TANK ISSUES (ITS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. WITH OTHER CUSTOMERS). THEY SAID THEY WOULD CALL ME IN APPROX. 2 MONTHS FOR REPLACEMENT GAS TANK . BACK ORDERS. GET TO PICK UP MY CAR TOMORROW ,NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO MY FIRST DRIVE ON THE STREET. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP THE FUEL TANK ON THE 2005 DODGE MAGNUM AWD (5.7L), THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO STALL AT IDLE. THROTTLE HAD TO BE FEATHERED AT STOP LIGHTS TO PREVENT STALL. AFTER FUEL LEVEL DECREASED TO 7/8TH OF A TANK, THE STALLING STOPPED AND THE CAR BEHAVED NORMALLY. THIS PROBLEM REPEATED FOUR MORE TIMES IN 2012, THEN BEGAN TO HAPPEN AT EVERY FULL FUEL FILL UP IN 2013. STARTING IN 2014, CAREFUL METERING OF THE FUEL INTO THE TANK SHOWED THAT IF THE TOTAL FUEL LEVEL WAS KEPT BELOW 145 PINTS, THE STALLING BEHAVIOR WOULD NOT HAPPEN. *TR

FATAL ENGINE FAILURE. EXHAUST VALVE DROPPED WITHOUT ANY PREVIOUS NOISE. RUINED ENTIRE ENGINE. *TR

FROM APPROXIMATELY AUGUST 2008 THROUGH AUGUST 2013, VEHICLE WOULD STALL AT LOW SPEEDS AFTER FILLING FUEL TANK. REPLACED FUEL TANK IN AUGUST 2013, WHICH CORRECTED THE ISSUE. IN RESPONSE TO NHTSA ACTION NUMBER PE13016, CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE FUEL TANK WARRANTY ON SOME 2005 AND 2006 DODGE MAGNUM VEHICLES. MY VEHICLE, WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED DURING THIS TIME PERIOD AND SEEMINGLY HAD THE SAME ISSUE AS THE AFFECTED VEHICLES, IS NOT COVERED UNDER CHRYSLER'S WARRANTY EXTENSION. CHRYSLER SEEMS TO HAVE MADE A DECISION THAT WILL ALLOW UNSAFE VEHICLES NOT COVERED UNDER THEIR WARRANTY TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE ON THE ROAD. *TR
