2005 DODGE MAGNUM Complaints

FILLED CAR WITH GAS. PULLED AWAY FROM STATION AND CAR STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES AT STOPS AND LOW SPEED TURNS. NO WARNING, NO LIGHTS, NO SOUND, NO PM, JUST DEAD. RESTART EASY. STALLED ABOUT 5 TIMES IN 2 MILES THEN BEHAVED. HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES AFTER FILL-UP NOW I IDLE AND WAIT FOR SHORT TIME AND HOPE FOR THE BEST. HAVE EVEN SHORTFILL TANK BEFORE AUTO CLICK. ONE SCARY INCIDENT AFTER SHORT FILL, CAR STALLED UPON ENTERING HIGHWAY. STALLED CAUSING POWER STIRRING ISSUE MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO PULL TO SIDE OF ROAD. . CAR BEHIND FOLLOWED AND ALMOST REAR ENDED MY CAR. MUST FIND FIX! *TR

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK, SEVERAL TIMES THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND / OR DIED, AT LOW SPEED AND AT A STOP. *TR

CAR STALLS AFTER FUELING. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR SEVERAL YEARS. THE CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW AND THE PROBLEM DID NOT START UNTIL 2011. CAR TAKEN TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG BECAUSE THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES. BACK TO THE DEALER IN NOVEMBER 2013 AND WAS TOLD AT THAT TIME THAT A NEW FUEL TANK WAS NEEDED. THE TANK REPLACEMENT WAS CHRYSLER'S RECOMMENDATION. THE TANK WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF ALMOST $2000.00. *TR

FOR THE LAST 2 FILL-UPS, MY MAGNUM HAS BEGUN TO EXHIBIT THE ROUGH RUNNING AND STALLING AFTER THE FILL-UP THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED BY NUMEROUS OTHER OWNERS OF CHRYSLER PRODUCTS. *TR

JUST BOUGHT THE CAR, FILLED UP THE FUEL TANK AT GAS STATION AND WENT FOR A DRIVE. AT THE FIRST STOP LIGHT I CAME TO THE CAR STALLED WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO STOP COASTED TO A STOP AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE AFTER A FEW ATTEMPTS, RESUMED DRIVING AND IT WAS DRIVING OK GOT ONTO THE ON-RAMP TO DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL WENT DOWN AFTER DRIVING. *TR

BOUGHT A USED 2005 DODGE MAGNUM 5.7L RT IN 2011. I'VE HAD MULTIPLE STALLING ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. LIKES TO STALL RIGHT AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. ALSO STALLS WITH GAS TANK AT NEARLY EMPTY. CAN SOMETIMES STALL WHEN MAKING RIGHT/LEFT TURNS OR U-TURNS AT INTERSECTIONS. I'VE LEARNED TO ONLY FILL UP TO HALF A TANK, BUT ISSUES STILL OCCUR. THE VEHICLE ALWAYS STALLS WHEN GOING UP A RAMP IN A MULTIPLE STORY PARKING GARAGE. WHEN GOING UP THE RAMP, JUST AS THE CAR BEGINS TO GET LEVEL WITH THE FLOOR AT THE TOP OF THE RAMP, THE VEHICLE STALLS JUST ABOUT EVERY TIME. SEEMS LIKE A GAS TANK FUEL PROBLEM. I UNDERSTAND THAT A SAFETY FEATURE BUILT INTO THE VEHICLE TURNS THE ENGINE OFF IN THE EVENT OF FUEL DETECTION IN AN AREA OF THE GAS TANK WHERE NO GAS SHOULD BE. MOST LIKELY IN CASE OF AN ACCIDENT LEADING TO ROLL OVER OF THE VEHICLE. THIS APPEARS TO BE MALFUNCTIONING. POSSIBLE FLAW IN THE DESIGN. CHRYSLER/DODGE NEEDS TO ADDRESS THIS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED BECAUSE THEIR VEHICLE STALLED WHILE MAKING A SIMPLE U-TURN OR WHILE DRIVING HIGH SPEEDS ON A HIGHWAY. PUBLIC SAFETY SHOULD SUPERSEDE ANY COST CONCERNS THE COMPANY MAY HAVE TO PAY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

RECENTLY PURCHASED AN 2005 MAGNUM R/T TOOK IT TO FILL UP FOR THE FIRST TIME. FILLED UP AND NOTICED GAS WAS SPITTING OUT OF THE BREATHER TUBE AND DOWN INTO THE FILLER 6 TIMES APPROXIMATELY, DROVE OUT OF THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR STALLED. RESTARTED AND WENT ALONG. STALLED 5 MORE TIMES ON MY 2 MILE DRIVE HOME. STARTED THE CAR IN THE DRIVEWAY AND IT STALLED 3 MORE TIMES. STARTED RESEARCHING ON LINE AND FOUND MULTIPLE FORUMS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. WANTED TO SUBMIT MY ISSUE TO OTHERS, BEING DAY 4 OWNING THIS CAR/ ISSUE. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP MY 2005 DODGE MAGNUM THE CAR STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES AS I DRIVE HOME. THE STALLS SEEM TO HAPPEN AT LOWER SPEEDS SUCH AS TURNING IN AN INTERSECTION OR WHEN COMING TO STOP AT A LIGHT. THE CAR IS HARD TO START AND LEAVES ME STALLED IN TRAFFIC UNTIL IT STARTS AGAIN. AT HIGHER SPEEDS THE CAR JERKS AND BUCKS AS THE ENGINE DIES AND RESTARTS. WHILE ON THE FREEWAY IT IS HARD TO MAINTAIN SPEED WHEN THIS IS HAPPENING. RESEARCH INDICATES IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT WILL REQUIRE REPLACING THE WHOLE FUEL TANK. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. TO GET A BETTER PICTURE OF HOW BIG THIS PROBLEM, ASK DODGE TO PROVIDE SALES NUMBERS FOR REPLACEMENT GAS TANKS SOLD. *TR

I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 3 OF THE ISSUES OF THE COMPLAINTS I AM SEEING HERE AND WONDERING WHY THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALLS ISSUED: 1) CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OR IT WOULD DIE AFTER FILLING UP THE GAS TANK. WENT ON LINE AND FOUND OTHERS HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEM. FIX: DO NOT FILL YOUR GAS TANK UP ALL THE WAY AND ALSO DO NOT LET IT GET TOO CLOSE TO EMPTY. 2) NEITHER THE BACK HATCH OR THE HOOD WILL STAY UP ON THEIR OWN. HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE HEAD WITH THE BACK HATCH NUMEROUS TIMES - SOMETIMES IT WORKS. 3) COULD NOT GET CAR OUT OF PARK. AGAIN WENT ON LINE AND EVEN FOUND A YOUTUBE VIDEO EXPLANING HOW TO REMOVE THE PINK THINGY FROM THE GEAR COUNSEL AND ALL WILL BE OK. SAVED HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS BUT NOW NO SAFETY DUE TO THE FACT THAT CAR CAN BE TURNED OFF IN ALL GEARS. *TR

AFTER FILLING THE FUEL TANK I STARTED THE CAR AND DROVE ABOUT 300 FEET AND THE ENGINE STALLED. STOPPED CAR AND RESTARTED IT, DROVE ANOTHER 600 FEET TO A RED SIGNAL LIGHT AND CAR STALLED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED FIVE MORE TIMES THAT DAY ON THE WAY HOME, ( ABOUT 25 MILES ) BY THEN IT WASN'T STALLING ANYMORE. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN TILL I REFILLED THE FUEL TANK AND THE STALLING STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN.THIS TIME I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. AFTER THAT I DID SOME RESEARCH ON THE COMPUTER AND FOUND OTHER PEOPLE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE AFTER THEY FILLED THE FUEL TANK. SINCE THEN I ONLY FILL TANK 3/4 FULL AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY STALLING PROBLEMS. PAIN IN THE ASS WHEN I GO ON LONG TRIPS !! *TR
