IF I FILL MY TANK AND I DRIVE IT AWAY FROM THE PUMP, IT WILL STUTTER, HESITATE, JERK, THEN DIE. I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ENGINE. AFTERWARDS, IT WON'T IMMEDIATELY RESTART. IT WILL START AGAIN AFTER A FEW MINUTES. IT WON'T START DRIVING GOOD AGAIN UNTIL I RUN THE GAS LEVEL DOWN A LITTLE. AFTER I FILL, IT WILL RUN OK UNTIL I MAKE A TURN OR COME TO A STOP, SOMETHING THAT WILL SLOSH THE FUEL IN THE TANK AGAIN THEN IT WILL ACT LIKE IT IS STARVED FOR FUEL. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME I FILL MY TANK. IF I DON'T FILL IT COMPLETELY THEN IT WILL DO IT. IT NEVER DID THIS WHEN I FIRST BOUGHT MY CAR. ONE TIME AFTER I THIS HAPPENED, I OPENED THE GAS CAP AND IT WAS HISSING AND SPITTING GAS JUST SITTING THERE. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AS IF THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY I COULD BECOME INVOLVED IN A COLLISION. IT HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST A HALF DOZEN TIME AND HAVE SINCE NOT FILLED MY TANK UP UNTIL TODAY AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. *TR

AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK WITHOUT TOPPING OFF, MY CAR STALLS WITHIN THE FIRST 300 FEET OF THE GAS STATION AND IS THEN HARD TO START. ONCE IT'S RESTARTED, FOR THE NEXT 40-60 MILES OF DRIVING, MY CAR HESITATES AND WILL OFTEN STALL AT ANY LOW SPEEDS OR STOPS UNLESS I DROP IT INTO NEUTRAL AND REV IT UP. 60-100 MILES AFTER A FULL TANK, THE CAR WILL BUCK WHEN COMING OUT OF A TURN AND THEN STALL IF I LET OFF THE GAS. *TR

WHEN CAR HAS JUST BEEN FILLED UP IT BEGINS TO STALL. IT WILL STALL PULLING OUT OF THE GAS STATION. THEN IT WILL STALL AGAIN WHILE DRIVING ON THE WAY BACK TO THE HOUSE TURNING CORNERS, AT STOP LIGHTS OR JUST DRIVING STRAIGHT. IT DOES NOT MAKE ANY LOUD NOISES IT JUST CUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAPPEN THE FIRST DAY OR TWO AFTER FILLING UP. (I DO NOT DRIVE VERY FAR) THEN IT DRIVES NORMAL UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE CAR GETS FILLED UP. THEN THE CAR WILL STALLS AGAIN. *TR

RUNNING LOW ON GAS ON JANUARY 15TH I STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO REFUEL. I PURCHASED 91 OCTANE, PLACED THE NOZZLE IN THE GAS TANK TUBE AND BEGAN TO REFUEL. ONCE THE PUMP CLICKED I REPLACED THE GAS NOZZLE, TIGHTENED THE GAS CAP, STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE OFF. LESS THAN TWO MINUTES LATER AS I WAS APPROACHING A STOP LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON. I QUICKLY PLACED THE GEAR IN PARK, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AFTER TRYING THREE TIMES IT FINALLY TURNS OVER AND I AM ABLE TO DRIVE OFF. ONE MINUTE LATER IT SHUTS OFF AGAIN AS I AM BEGINNING TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY. SAME SCENARIO AS BEFORE. NOW EVERY TIME I FILL THE TANK TO THE POINT WHERE THE GAS NOZZLE CLICKS THE ENGINE WILL SHUT OFF MULTIPLE TIMES WITHIN THE FIRST 10 MILES OF DRIVING. *TR

SOON AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK OF MY CAR IT STARTED TO STALL AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS. THE CAR CUT OFF COMPLETELY AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR STARTED UP AS SOON AS I TRIED TO TURN IT ON AGAIN. AFTER DOING THAT STALLING MULTIPLE TIMES, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE EGR VALUE. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK AGAIN THE CAR BEGAN TO STALL AGAIN. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME THEY SAID THEY WOULD NEED TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK. WHILE THE 2006 DODGE CARS WITH THE SAME FEATURES HAVE BEEN GIVEN A LIFETIME WARRANTY ON THE GAS TANK, I WAS TOLD THERE IS NO WARRANTY ON MY CAR FOR THIS ISSUE ON MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. *TR
