2006 DODGE MAGNUM Engine Problems

vehicle engine codes were all corrected properly in hopes of fixing the stalling issues. the vehicle was seemingly better for a few days. upon driving the vehicle on the highway at normal highway speed, the vehicle suddenly began flickering and shutting off and on. the vehicle would shut off and on rapidly. each time the vehicle turned back on it would accelerate causing the vehicle to jolt forward and stop rapidly. the car would not allow me to brake safely. the vehicle behind was within inches of a collision but their quick response to slam on their brakes and swerved to the shoulder thankfully missed. this is not an isolated event. speaking to other hemi 5.7 vehicle owners this is a very common issue. I had a baby in a carseat in the backseat who was jolted around slamming the back of his head into his car seat. this is so dangerously unsafe. not dealership can find the problem even after replacing every part possible on these vehicles.

The car won’t go in gear

The engine in my 2006 dodge Magnum has begun stalling out after fueling precisely as described in NHTSA action number PE13016. The first time it happened I was in the middle of a U-turn at a busy intersection. The engine died and I lost power steering and power brakes. I was able to brute-force the steering wheel and narrowly avoided hopping the curb and hitting the light pole on the corner. This light pole might have just as easily been a pedestrian. I called my local Dodge dealer (Ontario Dodge, Ontario California) to explain the problem and arrange to bring the car in. I let them know that I was aware that this issue was addressed under NHTSA action number PE13016 and should be covered under the lifetime warranty extension. I was told by the service adviser that I am required to drop off my car and that it would be 7-10 days before they would look at it. I suggested that they put me on a list and I could bring my car in 7-10 days at a time when they were able to look at it. They were unwilling to do this. They're insisting that my car sit in their lot for 7-10 days before they will even look at it. This isn't a scheduling issue. I can go on their website today and schedule my car for any other service tomorrow. No, this is a punitive action. Clearly they don't want to do the repairs and they're hoping I'll just go away by making it unreasonably difficult; not to mention expensive considering that a rental car will now be required. Chrysler and their dealers are not acting in good faith with regards to their agreement with the NHTSA and PE13016. In my experience and opinion they're doing whatever they can to evade these repairs. I'm a little disappointed that a full recall wasn't ordered. The agreement the NHTSA made with Chrysler left them with a little too much wiggle room in my opinion.

I HAVE OWNED THIS 2006 DODGE MAGNUM SE V6 2.7L FROM NEW, BOUGHT IN APRIL 2006, THE PROBLEM I'M HAVING IS WITH THE CAR STALLING, WITHOUT ANY NOTICE, HAPPENING TODAY WHEN TURNING LEFT AT A STOP LIGHT AND STARTING UPHILL. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AFTER PULLING TO THE RIGHT WITHOUT POWER, COMING TO A STOP, PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK, AND RESTARTING. I MADE IT BACK HOME, BUT THE CAR HAS BEEN CRANKING OVER AND NOT STARTING WHEN IN MY GARAGE, THIS AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. I'VE HAD THIS ISSUE HAPPEN BEFORE FROM 2006 ONWARD TO TODAY, ONLY A FEW TIMES A YEAR, AND CHANGED OUT THE FUEL PUMP RELAY EACH TIME AND THOUGHT THAT WAS THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR HAS NEVER STALLED WHILE DRIVING BEFORE NOW, ONLY WHEN SITTING AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. THE CAR ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES NOW AFTER 13 YEARS, I ALWAYS BABY THE CAR AND IT STILL LOOKS NEW. THANKS FOR ANY HELP WITH THIS MATTER

MY CAR (2006 DODGE MAGNUM 5.7 HEMI)WAS RUNNING TOTALLY FINE.... NO WARNINGS OF ANY KIND. I TURNED IT OFF TO RUN INTO THE GYM AND IT WOULDN'T START. A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WAS RUN AND THEY SAID THE PISTON BLEW AND IT NEEDS A NEW ENGINE

Mileage: 183,000

ON 07/06/2018 STARTED ENGINE, WITHIN 30 SECONDS CAR SHUT OFF . AS IF I TURNED OFF THE KEY.RESTARTED CAR AND SHIFTED TO REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF DRIVE, STALLED. STARTED CAR ,PUT CAR IN REVERSE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT INGAGE 15 TO 20 SECONDS LATER CAR WENT INTO GEAR AND STALLED 4 TIMES BEFORE CAR WOULD MOVE WITHOUT STALLING. TWO TENTHS OF A MILE CAR STALLED PULLING OUT ON MAIN ROAD. CAR STARTED WOULD NOT MOVE WAITED FOR TRANSMISSION TO ENGAGE AS TRAFFIC IS IS STARTING TO LINE UP. MILE LATER CAR STALLS AGAIN EVERTHING OFF START CAR AND WAIT FOR TRANSMISSION TO GO INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENS EVER DAY FOR THE PASS 2 MONTHS DODGE DEALER SAID MY COILS WERE BAD HAD THEM CHANGED NEXT DAY SAME PROBLEM. CAR NOW SITS TILL SOMETHING IS DONE.DONT FEEL SAFE DRIVING ON ROAD. THIS HAPPENS MOVING AND STATIONARY

CAR STALLS RANDOMLY WHEN FUEL TANK IS FULL OR AFTER FILL UP. MAY STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHEN IN MOTION OR STATIONARY. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND SIMILAR MODELS. CAUSE IS A FAULTY FUEL TANK.

Mileage: 264,000

THE CAR STALLS SOON AFTER REFILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE FILLING WAS STOPPED WHEN THE PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN BECAUSE IT HAS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING STRAIGHT ON A STREET, AND ALSO WHILE TURNING ONTO A HIGHWAY. THE CAR BECOMES DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER DUE TO THE LOSS OF POWER ASSIST PROVIDED TO THE STEERING AND BRAKES BY THE ENGINE. THIS APPEARS TO BE CAUSED BY A LACK OF FUEL TO THE ENGINE. THE CAR HAS RESTARTED, SO FAR, AFTER A FEW SECONDS SITTING STILL IN THE TRAFFIC.

Mileage: 88,000

THE CAR SEEMS TO BE RUNNING FINE ONE MINUTE WHEN I COME UP TO THE TRAFFIC LIGHT WHILE IT IS IN GEAR THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF THE NEXT PROBLEM IS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE LIGHTS GO OFF AND ON SOMETIMES DON'T COME BACK ON FOR TWO OR THREE MINUTES VERY ANNOYING WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING AT NIGHT WITH NO HEADLIGHTS AN ONCOMING TRAFFIC

HELLO, IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS, EVERY TIME I PUT GAS IN, WHETHER I FILL IT UP OR NOT, WEATHER I TOP IT OFF OR NOT, THE ENGINE WILL RUN ERRATICALLY, OFTEN STALLING MULTIPLE TIMES FOR NO REASON. IT HAS STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY, AT HIGHWAY SPEED, AT ANY OTHER SPEEDS, AND GOING THROUGH TURNS, NEEDLESS TO SAY, WITH NO ENGINE I HAVE NO POWER STEERING. I HAVE THE STRENGTH TO KEEP THE CAR UNDER CONTROL, BUT A LESS EXPERIENCED OR LESS STRONG DRIVER MAY LOOSE CONTROL, POSSIBLY WITH SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES. AFTER THE CAR SITS FOR A FEW HOURS, IT WILL USUALLY RUN OK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER.

AFTER FILLING UP GAS CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING, WILL START BACK UP BUT SHUTS DOWN AGAIN. GOING UP HILL CAR STALLS AND SHUTS OFF I HAVE TO HIT THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP IT RUNNING.

DROPPED VALVE SEAT: AFTER TRAVELING ABOUT 800 MILES FROM MASSACHUSETTS TO NORTH CAROLINA, WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF A PROBLEM, I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND I STOPPED AT A MCDONALDS TO USE MY CELL PHONE AND I TURNED OFF THE CAR, AFTER ABOUT 5 MINS. I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE CAR AND IT WOULDN'T START, THEN AS THE ENGAINE TURNED OVER IT BEGAN TO MAKE CLUNKING SOUNDS. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A NEAR BY DODGE DEALER, WHERE I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE FAILED, COSTING ME $8,466.33 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE CAR IS WELL MAINTAINED AND I HAVE ALL THE SERVICE RECORDS SHOWING THAT THIS FAILER SHOULDN'T HAD HAPPENED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO OWN THE FLAW IN 2005-2007 HEMI 5.7 ENGINE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO REFUND ME THE $8,465.33 THAT I HAD TO SPEND TO BUY A NEW ENGINE.

I HAVE BEEN HAVING SOME PROBLEMS WITH MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM RT FOR THE PAST YEAR: 1. CAR STALL AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN (ENGINE WOULD START AGAIN) 2. CAR WILL LOSE POWER (HESITATE FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS AND IT WOULD CHIME) 3. ENGINE DIED ON THE FREEWAY AND HAD TO PULL OVER (VERY DANGEROUS) DODGE REPLACE THE GAS TANK 2 TIMES AND STILL NOT REPAIRED. THE DODGE DEALER IN ELK GROVE CA CHARGED ME $140 AND I ACCORDING TO THE RECALL IT SHOULD BE WAIVED.

2 ISSUES: 1) THE CAR STALLS (ENGINE CUTS OFF) SPORADICALLY. IT RESTARTS WITHOUT HESITATION BUT THE STALLS ARE DURING TRANSIT WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS IN TRAFFIC. I SEE A LOT OF INSTANCES WHERE THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN REPORTED BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS ON THIS ISSUE. 2) WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WITH THE SEAT BELT BUCKLED, THE SEATBELT WARNING LIGHT AND CHIMING CONTINUOUSLY BLINK AND SOUNDS. ALSO, ALL THE EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD BLINKS SIMULTANEOUSLY PERIODICALLY. NOT SURE IF THAT IS RELATED BUT I DON'T SEE ANY RECALLS CONCERNING THIS. I WILL BE REPORTING THESE TO THE MEDIA FOR ASSISTANCE IN GETTING THESE ISSUES ADDRESSED WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER REFUELING MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM STALLED REPEATEDLY. RESTARTING THE CAR WAS VERY DIFFICULT. MOST OF THE STALLING EPISODES OCCURRED WHEN THE CAR WAS AT A STANDSTILL OR MOVING AT 5 MPH OR LESS. IT ALSO STUMBLED BADLY WHEN DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH. ONE OF HE STALLING EPISODES LEFT ME STRANDED FOR A SHORT WHILE IN A BUSY INTERSECTION CAUSING A TRAFFIC JAM AND CREATING A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

Mileage: 85,037

AFTER GAS FILL UP, ENGINE WILL DIE WHEN STOPPING, AND DIE IN MOTION BUT RESTART ITSELF, FOR 5 OR 10 MILES. THIS CONDITION IS ONGOING SINCE MARCH 2014. CONDITION HAS ALSO HAPPENED RANDOMLY ON ONE OCCASION. *TR

HI, I HAVE A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM SRT8. DURING THE FIRST INCIDENT IN APRIL 2014, MY CAR STALLED AT LIGHTS AND ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. I GOT GASOLINE AFTER THE FIRST STALL AND IT CONTINUED AFTER I FILLED MY TANK WITH GAS. THE SECOND INCIDENT JUST OCCURRED LAST NIGHT 11/4/14 AND I WENT TO THE GAS STATION TO FILL THE TANK. I NOTICED A SOUND LIKE AIR PRESSURE WAS BEING RELEASED FROM MY GAS TANK (NORMAL FROM FILLING UP) AND THEN THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART VERY EASILY AND STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR STARTED BUT IT STALLED AT EVERY IDLE AT STOP LIGHTS. I JUST NOTICED THAT THOUGH A GOOGLE SEARCH THAT THE FED IS PROBING ENGINE STALLS ON APPROX 192K CHRYSLER/DODGE MODELS WITH THE SAME ISSUE.

Mileage: 95,000

AT 66,000 MILES THIS CAR STARTED TO STALL DURING LOW SPEED OPERATION, AROUND 30-40 MPH. THIS CONTINUED ON WITH MULTIPLE ATTEMPTED, EXPENSIVE TRIES BY THE DEALER TO FIX IT, INCLUDING THE UNNECESSARY REMOVAL OF A REMOTE START SYSTEM. PART OF THE FIX ATTEMPTS INCLUDED INSTALLING A DOORBELL LIKE BUTTON THAT I PUSHED WHENEVER THE EVENT HAPPENED IN AN ATTEMPT FOR THEM TO FAULT ISOLATE. THEY REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH BECAUSE IT APPEARED TO THEM THAT THE SYSTEM HAD BEEN SHUT OFF. AFTER THAT IT WAS PROBABLY THE CONTROL COMPUTER BUT NO GUARANTEE ON THAT. COMPUTER HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED. JUNE 2014 THIS CAR HAD THE GAS TANK REPLACED AT A PART OF THE NON-RECALL 'EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE GAS TANK' FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT. THE CAR RESPONDED WITH A INCREASE IN HORSEPOWER/PERFORMANCE BUT NOT BETTER STALL PERFORMANCE. AFTER A WEEK OR TWO THE STALL CONDITIONS RETURNED AND ARE MORE DANGEROUS THAN EVER. THE CAR WILL STALL PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, IT WILL STALL DURING OPEN ROAD RUNNING (NOW AT VIRTUALLY ANY SPEED), OR SITTING AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT. WHEN IT STALLS, IF THE CAR HAS ENOUGH MOMENTUM IT WILL RESTART AND OCCASIONALLY BOLT FORWARD DUE TO THE COMPUTER SENSING THE STALL, ESPECIALLY DANGEROUS IN PARKING LOTS. A FURTHER FEATURE IS THAT IF THE 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT WAS ON PRIOR TO THE STALL, IT WILL BE EXTINGUISHED AND NO CODES REMAIN IN THE COMPUTER.. *TR

Mileage: 66,000

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE CAR WILL STALL AND ONLY GIVE ABOUT 5PERCENT POWER. IT CAN HAPPEN ANYTIME HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. DEALER HAD VEHICLE FOR A MONTH AND CANNOT DETERMINE THE ISSUES. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MOVING VEHICLES MULTIPLE TIMES. *TR

Mileage: 105,000

THE CAR STALLS AT STOP LIGHTS MOSTLY BUT HAS RECENTLY STARTED STALLING ON THE FREEWAY. *TR

Mileage: 97,000

THE ENGINE STALLS RANDOMLY AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT. THIS WILL OFTEN OCCUR SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT WILL NOT GO INTO GEAR AND BE STUCK IN NEUTRAL. THE PROBLEM WILL ALSO OCCUR AT SPEED, DYING CAUSING A SMALL DECELERATION AND THEN STARTING AGAIN ON ITS OWN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE DRIVER BEHIND YOU HAS NO INDICATION THAT YOU ARE STALLED AND STOPPING UNEXPECTEDLY. *TR

Mileage: 202,000

AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS, UPON DRIVING THE CAR WILL DIE. AT APPROXIMATELY 5MPH THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY DIE AND WILL NOT RESPOND. CAR WILL NOT START UNTIL AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF SITTING. NO CEL LIGHTS OR CODES THROWN. *TR

Mileage: 90,000

AFTER FILING THE FUEL TANK, THE ENGINE WILL SPUTTER AND STALL. WHEN IT FIRST BEGAN TO HAPPEN TO ME, IT SEEMED LIKE I WAS GETTING BAD GAS. NOW I KNOW THAT THIS OCCURS PRIMARILY AFTER I MAKE A LEFT TURN AND IS DUE TO A PART THAT IS INSIDE THE FUEL TANK. THE PART FAILS AND THE RESULT IS THIS PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE STALLING. THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH OLDER MAGNUMS, CHARGERS, AND CHRYSLER 300'S. IT IS DANGEROUS!! THIS HAS HAPPENED TO BE ON INTERSTATE 95 AND JUST WHEN I GOT INTO THE TRAVEL LANE THE ENGINE DIED. I THINK THE LEFT TURN I MADE WAS A FEW MILE BEFORE I GOT TO THE ENTRANCE RAMP AND IT CAUGHT ME OFF-GUARD. I WAS LUCKY TO BE ABLE TO PULL OVER AND GET ONTO THE SHOULDER. THIS IS A DESIGN FAILURE AND IS NOT NORMAL WEAR & TEAR. ALL OF THE OLDER CARS MENTIONED HERE CAN BE AFFECTED. I ASSUME YOU HAVE RECEIVED PRIOR COMPLAINS ABOUT THIS ISSUE. DODGE IS NO HELP, BUT SHOULD BE REQUIRED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THANKS. *JS

Mileage: 45,000

AT LOW SPEEDS AND STOPS MY CAR WILL SHUT OFF AT RANDOM TIMES. SOMETIMES 3-5 TIMES IN AS SHORT OF A DRIVE AS 10 MILES, MAINLY AT INTERSECTIONS. WORST INCIDENT WAS PULLING AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WITH A CAR COMING THE DIRECTION I WAS TURNING, I LOST ENGINE POWER AS WELL AS POWER-STEERING. IN ALL INSTANCES I SHUT CAR OFF AND RESTARTED AND WAS ABLE TO PULL AWAY, ALTHOUGH IN SOME CASES IT WOULD NOT INITIALLY ENGAGE INTO DRIVE. I FIRST EXPERIENCED AFTER PUTTING A FULL TANK OF GAS IN ALTHOUGH NOW IT DOES NOT MATTER THE FUEL LEVEL. IT HAS BEEN PROGRESSIVELY GETTING MORE FREQUENT. *TR

Mileage: 94,000

THE MILEAGE AND DATE ARE APPROXIMATES. THE MOST RECENT OCCURRENCE WAS ON 4/5/14 AT ABOUT 69980 MILES. WHEN I FILL UP MY GAS TANK, WITHOUT "TOPPING OFF", THE ENGINE WILL STALL SHORTLY AFTERWARDS WHEN I AM DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS. THIS WILL HAPPEN SEVERAL TIME UNTIL THE CAR HAS HAD TIME TO SIT FOR A PERIOD OF TIME (HOURS TO OVERNIGHT). THIS USUALLY OCCURS WHEN I COME TO AN INTERSECTION OR I AM MOVING AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR

Mileage: 65,500

CAR STALLED AFTER FILLING UP HAD TO RESTART STALLED AGAIN ON HIGHWAY GOING APPROX 25MPH. HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AFTER FILLING UP THOUGHT BAD GAS BUT SEE PE13-016. ALSO ON ONE OCCASION CAR WOULD NOT START. FINALLY STARTED WITH A LOT OF WHITE SMOKE. *TR

Mileage: 104,000

SITTING IDLE AT LIGHT CAD DIED. RESTARTED AND DROVE APPROXIMATELY 1 MILE AND CARD DIED AGAIN AFTER COMING TO STOP. RESTARTED AND DROVE INTO A PARKING LOT AND CAR DIED AGAIN WHEN TRYING TO PULL INTO PARKING STALL. RESTARTED AND THEN TURNED VEHICLE OFF TO WAIT FOR HELP. VEHICLE HAS VERY LOW MILES (50K +) AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN DEPENDABLE UNTIL NOW. DROVE VEHICLE TO LOCAL MECHANIC (BECAUSE DEALERSHIP ABOUT 25 MINUTES AWAY AND WAS CONCERNED ABOUT DEPENDABILITY). MECHANIC CONNECTED TO COMPUTER AND PERFORMED TWO ROAD TESTS BUT COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. HAVE CALLED DODGE AND LOCAL DEALERSHIP AND THEY ARE UNWILLING TO HELP. *TR

Mileage: 50,192

WHILE WAITING AT A TRAFFIC STOP THE VEHICLE STALLED. CRANKED IT TWICE AND GOT IT STARTED. ON THE NEXT LIGHT IT STALLED AGAIN WHEN SLOWING. THE GAS WAS AT 3/4 FULL. NEXT TIME, MY WIFE AND KIDS WERE ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED WHEN SLOWING TO STOP AT AN EXIT. DEEMED UNSAFE BUT REALIZED THE IT HAPPENED AFTER GAS WAS FILLED OR CLOSER TO FULL. HAPPENED A COUPLE MORE TIMES WITH THE LAST BEING ON 3/5/14. *TR

I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON MY WAY TO GAS STATION. CALLED AAA, THEY BROUGHT ME 1 GAL OF GAS. CAR STARTED FINE AND DROVE TO GAS STATION (4 MILES) WITH NO PROBLEMS. AFTER FILLING TANK CAR STALLED REPEATEDLY WHILE DRIVING ON STREET (5 OR 6 TIMES ON WAY HOME, MAYBE 5 MILES). PROBLEM OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE NEXT WEEK. NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN BEFORE. SINCE THIS TIME EVERYTIME I FILL THE GAS TANK THE PROBLEM RE-APPEARS AND CAR STALLS WHILE DRIVING OR AT STOP LIGHT. PROBLEM PERSISTS FOR A WEEK OR SO. ALSO, WHEN THE CAR STALLS AND THE ENGINE IS RE-STARTED THE TRANSMISSION WON'T ENGAGE FOR 10 TO 15 SECONDS AFTER SHIFTING INTO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM SEEMS TO OCCUR THE MOST RIGHT AFTER I FILL UP AND GRADUALLY DISAPPEARS AS FUEL LEVEL GETS LOWER. AFTER A WEEK OR SO THE CAR RUNS FINE, NO STALLING. THE CAR IS NOT DRIVEN DAILY SO IT TAKES A WHILE TO BURN SOME OF THE GAS OUT. I'VE PROBABLY FILLED THE TANK 4 TIMES SINCE ORIGINAL ONSET OF PROBLEM. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. *TR

Mileage: 196,000

AFTER FILLING UP MY FUEL TANK AND DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 1/2 MILE, THE ENGINE DIED. RESTARTED ENGINE AND IT DIED AGAIN. AFTER THE THIRD RESTART IT CONTINUED TO RUN. AFTER HAVING THIS OCCUR APPROXIMATELY 12-15 TIMES OVER THE NEXT 6 MONTHS, I DISCOVERED THAT IF I FILL IT NO MORE THAN14 GALLONS MAXIMUM, THE PROBLEM WILL NOT OCCUR. THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY WHAT WAS REPORTED IN PE13016, HOWEVER I HAVE HAD THE ENGINE DIE AT BOTH LOW SPEEDS AND HIGH SPEEDS (50-65 MPH). *TR

Mileage: 92,000

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS, EXITED THE GAS STATION AND PROCEEDED THROUGH A PARKING LOT AT 10-15 MPH AND THE ENGINE STUMBLED FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY BY A CHECK OIL LIGHT (NO "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT) AND ENGINE STOPPED RUNNING. I COASTED TO A STOP, AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE ENGINE; AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT STARTED AND I DROVE HOME WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. THIS HAPPENS REGULARLY IF I FILL THE FUEL TANK FROM A NEARLY EMPTY CONDITION (AT ON NEAR "E"). THE ENGINE WILL ALWAYS STUMBLE ONCE BEFORE IT STOPS RUNNING. AS SUCH, I'M RELEGATED TO EXERCISING CAUTION AFTER ANY/ALL FILL-UPS (DRIVE AROUND A PARKING LOT FOR EXAMPLE) AND NEVER HAVE KIDS IN THE CAR. FILLING THE TANK FROM A 1/4 FULL CONDITION SEEMS TO HELP. *TR

Mileage: 110,900

AFTER FILLING MY CAR AND DRIVING ON THE 710 FREEWAY, WHILE GETTING ON THE FREEWAY THE CAR JUST STALLED. THE STEERING GOT HARD TO TURN AS THE VEHICLE WAS STALLED. I MANAGED TO CRUISE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GOT THE VEHICLE TO START AGAIN. WHILE DRIVING IT DID IT 2 MORE TIMES UNTIL MY GAS STARTED TO GO DOWN. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY TIME I FILL UP THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE MAGNUM CONTINUALLY STALLS AFTER FILL UP. WE HAVE MADE A CONCERTED EFFORT NOT TO OVER FILL THE VEHICLE, BUT IT CONTINUES TO STALL FOR A FEW MILES AFTER FILL UP. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR ALMOST 20,000 MILES NOW. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. EITHER MY WIFE OR I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED DUE TO STALLING IN TRAFFIC. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN FIX IT FOR AROUND $1400. THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL, NOT SOMETHING DUMPED ON THE OWNER. WHEN YOU GO TO ALL THE MOPAR BLOGS, THIS ISSUE IS COMMON ON ALL 06 - 07 CHARGERS, MAGNUMS AND CHRYSLER 300S. THEY KNOW IT'S THE CHECK VALVE, AND KNOW IT WAS A POOR DESIGN, BUT TOO BAD CONSUMER. *TR

ISSUES STARTED SHORTLY AFTER RE-FUELING WITH A FULL TANK. NOW, AFTER A MONTH, THE STALLING OCCURS AS LOW AS 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL. WILL RUN FINE FOR A COUPLE DAYS, THEN WITH NO WARNING, STALLING COMES BACK AND IS CURRENTLY ON-GOING. *TR

Mileage: 87,235

TIME: AFTER A FUEL REFILL EARLIER IN THE DAY (ALWAYS ASK GAS STATION ATTENDANT TO -NOT- TOP OFF THE TANK AND USUALLY PROVIDE AN EXACT NUMBER OF GALLONS TO MAKE SURE THE GAUGE WILL READ JUST UNDER FULL AFTER THE GAS REFILL) EVENT: CAR STALLED WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT ABOUT 25MPH THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AS THE CAR WILL STALL AT JUST ABOUT ANYTIME (ON THE HIGHWAY, MAKING A TURN, DRIVING ALONG SUBURBAN ROADS). AT THIS TIME THE ONLY SOLUTION I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO IMPLEMENT IS TO REV THE ENGINE SIGNIFICANTLY FAST AFTER THE REFUEL AND/OR DRIVE IN 1ST OR 2ND GEAR (BY DOWNSHIFTING VIA THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER) FOR AT LEAST 10MINUTES OF DRIVING TIME. IT HAS NOW BEEN 6 MONTHS SINCE THE LAST ACTIVITY ON THE CURRENT NHTSA PE13-016 INVESTIGATION (LAST ACTIVITY REFERRED TO ON THE WEBSITE WAS AUGUST OF 2013). THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND A RECALL IS CLEARLY NEEDED TO ADDRESS THIS SAFETY ISSUE. CAN SOMEONE AT NHTSA PLEASE POST AN UPDATE ON THE INVESTIGATION? *TR

VEHICLE STALLED SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING WHEN BEGINNING TO ACCELERATE AFTER HAVING BEEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUED TO OCCUR REGULARLY AFTER REFUELING. IT OCCURRED BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE WAS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. ONCE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SURGED WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OF OPERATION UNTIL RETURNING TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY RISK. AS OF APRIL 2013, I NO LONGER OWN THIS VEHICLE. MY WIFE PRESENTLY EXPERIENCES THIS PROBLEM WITH HER 2006 DODGE MAGNUM SRT-8 WITH THE 6.1L ENGINE. SHE HAS ALSO FILED A VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT. *TR

I HAD JUST PICKED UP THE CAR IN QUESTION AFTER PURCHASING AT A USED CAR LOT THEN DROVE IT ABOUT 20 MILES BEFORE I STOPPED FOR FUEL AT WHICH TIME I FILLED THE TANK THEN AS I WENT TO PULL OUT INTO THE LANE OF TRAFFIC AND BEGAN TO PICK UP SPEED AND AT ABOUT 30 MPH THE CAR BEGAN STUTTERING THEN IT DIED. LUCKILY IT STARTED UP BEFORE THE CARS COMING HIT ME. I HAVE SINCE FILED IT UP SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE AND REALIZED THAT IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AFTER EACH TIME I FILLED UP , I THEN BEGAN DOING SOME SEARCHING ON THE INTERNET AND SEEN THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES SO THAT LED ME TO FILE THIS COMPLAINT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT? *TR

HAD JUST FILLED UP WITH FUEL WHEN TAKING OFF TO CROSS THE STREET THE CAR DIED AND HAD TO BE PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A WHILE IT STARTED UP BUT DIED NUMEROUS TIMES THEN WAS FINE UNTIL NEXT FILL UP. AFTER A FEW DAYS IT STARTED LOSING POWER WHEN DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN POWER CAME BACK.. THIS IS UNSAFE DUE TO THE CAR SLOWS DOWN FAST THEN POWERS BACK UP. *TR

MY DODGE MAGNUM FOR THE LAST YEAR " TOTAL OF 4 TIMES" HAS STALLED ONLY AFTER REFUELING ALONG WITH THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING. THERE IS NO WARNING !. NO ENGINE LIGHT.! THE CAR JUST SHUTS DOWN . BUT THIS LAST TIME IT ALMOST CAUSED A ACCIDENT. TOO CLOSE TO A DISASTER. I HAD MY CHILD IN THE CAR . I HAVE READ THE COMPLAINTS ON THIS SITE. AND I KNOW I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAPPENS TO. WHY IS THIS NOT BEING ADDRESSED !!! I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME WITH ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. I BABY MY CAR WITH SERVICING . I HAVE 134,282 MILES. I HAVEN'T HAD A ISSUE WITH THE CAR EVER. UNTIL NOW. I BELIEVE IT'S A FAULTY PART. THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING ISSUE. AS WELL AS THE PSYCHICAL STRESS NOT KNOWING WHEN MY CAR FAILS ME. WHY IS THIS NOT A RECALL WITH THE DODGE MAGNUM FUEL SYSTEM? WHICH CAUSES A VAPOR LOCK WITHOUT WARNING. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO LOOSE A LIFE TO GET THIS ADDRESSED ? *TR

AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK, THE CAR STALLED AT THE NEXT 3 INTERSECTIONS AND RAN ROUGH ONCE ON MODERATE ACCELERATION. NO ENGINE CODES OR WARNING LIGHTS APPEARED. ENGINE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED NUT ONLY WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SLIGHTLY. WOULD NOT RE-START OTHERWISE. PROBLEM RESOLVED ITSELF AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES OF OPERATION. SINCE THEN, ISSUE HAS RE-SURFACED APPROXIMATELY 6 TIMES WITH SIMILAR SYMPTOMS; OCCASIONALLY WITH ENGINE STALLING WHILE THE CAR IS SLOWING DOWN BUT STILL MOVING. ALL TIME ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE FIRST FEW MINUTES OF OPERATION AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY MAGNUM, THE ENGINE STOPPED COMPLETELY. THE CAR HAS DONE THIS SINCE I HAVE HAD IT. IT HAS BEEN TO THREE DODGE DEALERSHIPS, COSTING ME HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS, AND THE PROBLEM IS NEVER FIXED. IT SEEMS THAT THE CAR STOPS MOSTLY WHEN I FIRST DRIVE OFF IN THE MORNING AND AFTER FILLING UP WITH GAS. *TR

AFTER FILL UP AND NOT TOPPING OFF TANK CAR WILL SPUTTER OR EVEN DIE AND HAVE TO BE RESTARTED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE FIRST 10 OR SO MILE. MY CAR HAS DIED SEVERAL TIMES IN BUSY TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING A REAR END COLLISION FROM CARS BEHIND ME. *TR

ENGINE COMPUTER THAT TALKS TO KEY TO DETERMINE "MATCH" DIES AND SHUTS OFF VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING. COMPUTER HAD TO BE REPLACED. 14000 MILES LATER (TWO YEARS LATER) COMPUTER THAT WAS REPLACED DOES THE EXACT SAME THING AND DODGE WILL NOT REPLACE AS A DEFECTIVE, BUT RATHER CHARGING 1200 BUCKS. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS IT RANDOMLY JUST CUTS OFF ENGINE WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED AND CAN BE REAR ENDED. THIS IS NOT A PART THAT "WEARS". AND THIS IS NOT A PART THAT SHOULD EVER HAVE TO BE REPLACED OR GO BAD. *TR

I EXPERIENCE 2 TYPES OF ENGINE STALL. FIRST INCIDENT - CAR ENGINE WOULD STALL AT A STOP LIGHT AND HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES. I COMPLETED A TUNE UP THINKING IT WAS A SPARK PLUG AND PROBLEM CONTINUES. MY MECHANIC TESTED THE CAR FOR ONE DAY AND CANNOT TELL ME WHY IT WOULD STALL. SECOND INCIDENT - CAR ENGINE WOULD STALL AT 10 MILES PER HOUR CAUSING THE CAR TO STOP WHICH IS DANGEROUS. *TR

SUDDEN ENGINE STALL FEW MILES AFTER FUEL CHARGE. THESE PROBLEMS HAPPENED SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT ALMOST EVERY FUEL CHARGE. WHEN ENGINE STALLED, IT'S DIFFICULT TO RESTART. ONE INCIDENT WAS THE SUDDEN ENGINE STALL DURING DRIVING CAUSES ME TO PANIC DUE TO LOSING POWER ASSIST OF STEERING AND BRAKES, AND ALMOST HIT SIDE WALK AT MY NEIGHBORHOOD. ASKED DEALERSHIP TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG, AND THEY MADE SOME REPAIRS TO THE FUEL INJECTION, AND EGR VALVE. BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS. *JB

LOW FUEL LIGHT CAME ON, STOPPED AT A GAS STATION TO FILL UP. I FILLED THE TANK FULL UP TO WHEN THE GAS-REFILL-NOZZLE CLICKED OFF, AND THEN A LITTLE MORE - UP TO THE NEXT WHOLE DOLLAR. RECAPPED MY TANK, AND BEGAN TO DRIVE AWAY. THE ENGINE BUCKED A BIT THEN STALLED. WAS A BIT HARDER THAN NORMAL TO GET IT RESTARTED. THEN SLOWED FOR THE FIRST TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND IT SUDDENLY DIED IN BUSY TRAFFIC! HARD TO GET IT RESTARTED. PULLED AWAY FROM THE STOP LIGHT AND IT BUCKED AND STUTTERED SOME MORE AND THEN CLEARED UP IN A COUPLE MILES. THIS HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES SINCE THIS BEHAVIOR STARTED. TWO TIMES FOR SURE THE CAR WAS RUNNING DURING THE REFILL. I WILL PAY ATTENTION IN THE FUTURE TO SEE IF IT ONLY HAPPENS DURING REFILL WITH IT STILL RUNNING. *TR

AFTER FILLING UP AT A LOCAL GAS STATION, I DROVE AWAY, ABOUT A QUARTER MILE AND STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. THE ENGINE STALLED AS I STOPPED. I SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL AND ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE MOTOR 3 TIMES BEFORE IT WOULD RUN. ONCE STARTED, I DROVE FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MILE, AND WHEN I SLOWED TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN, IT STALLED AGAIN. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND THE VEHICLE RAN FINE AFTER THAT. THIS IS ROUGHLY THE FOURTH TIME THIS HAS OCCURRED. THE LAST TWO TIMES, I REALIZED THAT THEY WERE IMMEDIATELY AFTER A FILL UP. *TR

Mileage: 79,381

THE FIRST TIME A STALL OCCURRED I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT WHEN THE CAR STALLED. IT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES TO GET THE CAR STARTED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT THEN WENT OFF AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES. SINCE THEN, THE CAR HAS STALLED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS BOTH WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND AT IDLE. SOME OF THE STALLS ARE ONLY A SPLIT SECOND, WITH MULTIPLE DASH WARNING LIGHTS APPEARING BEFORE THE CAR STARTS AGAIN ON ITS OWN. UNLIKE OTHER COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN, IT DOES NOT OCCUR ONLY AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK BUT IS INSTEAD COMPLETELY RANDOM. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND INDEPENDENT MECHANICS ON AT LEAST SIX OCCASIONS. THE DODGE DEALER HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK ON ONE OCCASION AND WAS STILL UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE THE PROBLEM HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. NOT ONLY IS THIS PROBLEM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING SINCE MECHANICS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO FIND A SOLUTION, IT IS ALSO DANGEROUS SINCE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES STOP WORKING WHEN THE CAR IS STALLED. *TR

Mileage: 65,000

THE CAR STALLS, SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. HAD BOTH OF THE TOP 02 SENSOR REPLACED. A REPAIR TOLD ME MY OIL PRESSURE SENSOR WAS BAD GOT THAT REPLACED. CALL THE SERVICE CENTER AND TELL THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY SAID MY COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE RESET. THAT DIDN'T WORK. *TR

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

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

AFTER REFUELING VEHICLE TO A FULL TANK OF GAS, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WHEN DRIVING. IN SOME CASES MULTIPLE TIMES. THERE IS NO WARNING PRIOR TO THE STALL AND THE TIMING OF THE INCIDENT SEEMS RANDOM - SOMETIMES RIGHT AWAY AFTER FILL-UP, SOMETIMES A FEW MILES DOWN THE ROAD. ONLY OCCURS AT FULL TANK CONDITION BUT DOES OCCUR EVERY TIME THE TANK IS FILLED. WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS IT IS DIFFICULT TO START BACK UP - POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKES ARE LOST DURING THIS TIME. ONCE THE VEHICLE HAS TRAVELED 10-15 MILES THE PROBLEM SEEMS TO GO AWAY - UNTIL FILLING THE GAS TANK AGAIN. IT SEEMS LIKE AN EMISSIONS SYSTEMS TYPE OF PROBLEM - MAYBE PART OF THE FUEL TANK VENTING SYSTEM. THERE ARE OTHER REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM WITH SIMILAR TYPE OF VEHICLES (CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHARGER) ON THE INTERNET. *TR

V8 ENGINE REPEATEDLY AND UNPREDICTABLY STALLS AND LOSES POWER DURING DRIVING AND TURNING SITUATIONS. RECOVERS AFTER 1-2 SECONDS IN SOME INSTANCES, STALLS COMPLETELY AND IS DIFFICULT TO RESTART IN OTHERS. PRODUCES EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS AND DANGEROUS SITUATIONS IN TRAFFIC AND AT INTERSECTIONS. LOCAL DODGE DEALER (HALL DODGE) HAS HAD CAR FOR SIX WEEKS+ AND HAS FAILED TO CORRECTLY DIAGNOSE & REPAIR. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM INVOLVES FUEL TANK VALVE, AS IT IS MORE PREVALENT (SEE MANY ONLINE POSTS OF IDENTICAL SYMPTOMS SINCE 2005 AND BEFORE) AFTER FULL FUEL FILL AND PERSISTS UNTIL UNRESTRICTED FUEL APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN USED TO SUFFICIENT DEGREE. DEALER HAS REPLACED UNLIKELY ITEMS SUCH AS SUNROOF MODULE AND THE ABS MODULE IN FUTILE AND INEPT ATTEMPTS TO SKIRT THE REAL ISSUE. SOMEONE IS GOING TO DIE IN ONE OF THESE CARS WHEN IT STALLS --CHRYSLER DODGE IS 100% KNOWLEDGEABLE OF THIS DEFECT IN MANY OF THEIR CARS, AND WILL NOT ACKNOWLEDGE OR MAKE ANY ATTEMPT TO CORRECT IT.
