2006 DODGE MAGNUM Fuel/propulsion System Problems

This is the second time I have been stuck on the side of the road showing that my car has a quarter tank of gas and it just dies on me. I was rescued with some fuel and it started right back up again. Upon checking for recalls for this issue, I came across some 2005 to 2006 Dodge magnums or chargers with fuel tank recalls. I called Chrysler and they are saying my vin does not apply to the fuel tank recall. How is it, I am having the same exact issue as those vin’s affected by this recall. I think it is something to look into. I have gone on Dodge forums and read people’s stories about the same issue as I am having and I am sure they are unaware of the steps they can take with the NHTSA to file a complaint where an investigation could be imminent. Please advise. This has happened more than once so now I consider an empty tank when I am at a quarter tank reading on my gas meter.

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.

HERE WE ARE 15 MONTHS LATER AND ONLY 2,330 MILES FROM MY LAST COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM STALLING AFTER A FUEL FILL UP OR WHEN TURNING LEFT, IT HAPPENED YET AGAIN TODAY, I KNOW THERE IS A CURRENT FUEL TANK RECALL FOR 2005 - 2006 DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM & CHRYSLER 300'S WITH THE V8 5.7L & 6.1L, YET NOTHING FOR THE V6 2.7L & 3.5L, WHY? THEY ALL USE THE SAME EXACT GAS TANK, WHICH HAVE BEEN PROVEN TO BE DEFECTIVE, I;M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THIS CAR AND IT STILL ONLY HAVE 76,233 MILES, SO IT SHOULD BE COVERED BUT IS NOT, PLEASE EXPAND THIS RECALL X53 TO COVER ALL MAGNUMS AND CHARGERS AND CHRYSLER 300S....WE V6 OWNERS SHOULD ALSO HAVE A VOICE IN OUR OWN SAFETY AND RECALLS WHEN OUR CARS ALL USE THE SAME GAS TANKS

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

I PURCHASED A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM LAST WEEK ON 4/4/2019 ODOMETER READING AT 109, 545. 2 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR IT NEEDED FUEL AND I FILLED THE GAS TANK. I THEN LEFT THE GAS STATION. WITHIN LESS THAN A MILE THE ENGINE STALLED AS IF IT WERE TRYING TO SHUT OFF. THIS HAPPENED 4 TIMES WITHIN 1 MINUTE AND LESS THAN A MILE FROM THE GAS STATION. SINCE I WAS MERGING ONTO A HIGHWAY, I COULD NOT JUST PULL OVER. I CONTINUED OFF THE MERGE AND INTO THE HIGHWAY. THEN IT STOPPED. WITH HESITATION I CONTINUED DOWN THE HIGHWAY. ABOUT 20 MILES DOWN THE HIGHWAY LATER AND DRIVING AT THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH, I ACCELERATED ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GO UP A SMALL HILL AND MAINTAIN THE SPEED LIMIT OF 70 MPH. THE CAR AGAIN TRIES TO STALL OUT AND SHUT OFF AND IT CONTINUED TO DO THIS 3 MORE TIMES. I HAD TO DRIVE YET ANOTHER 50 MILES TO MAKE IT HOME AND I WAS VERY UNEASY THE WHOLE TIME. I DID MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT ANY ADDITIONAL INSIDENTS. THE INCIDENT WAS VERY UNSETTLING. I DREAD WHAT HAPPENS THE NEXT TIME I PUT GAS IN IT AS THIS SEEMED TO BE THE TRIGGER OF THE INCIDENT. I WENT HOME TO RESEARCH THE ISSUE AND SURE ENOUGH THIS A COMMON COMPLAINT AMONG DODGE MAGNUM OWNERS. APPARENTLY THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE GAS TANK. MY VIN DOES NOT SHOW UP OR QUALIFY FOR THE RECALL BUT IS INDEED HAVING THIS SHARED PROBLEM. I FEEL IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE FOR ANYONE ON THE HIGHWAY. CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY AND OR DEATH TO MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS AND ANY OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD. THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED AND ADDRESSED! ESPECIALLY AFTER FINDING THERE ARE SO MANY OTHER 2006 DODGE MAGNUM OWNERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM! TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK BY A CERTIFIED DODGE MECHANIC IT WILL COST ABOUT $2,000 IN PARTS AND LABOR. HOW DO I GET HELP WITH THIS RECALL ISSUE EVEN THOUGH THE VIN ON MY CAR IS NOT SHOWING IT IS ELIGIBLE OR INCLUDED IN THE RECALL??

THE CONTACT PULLED THE VEHICLE OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY ONE BLOCK, THE FAILURE RECURRED. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WAS DRIVEN TO THE CONTACT'S RESIDENCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING.

ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, I HAVE FILLED THE FUEL TANK AND WHEN ATTEMPTING TO LEAVE, THE ENGINE HAS STALLED, SOMETIMES IN THE PARKING LOT OF THE GAS STATION, OTHER TIMES ATTEMPTING TO STALL BUT NOT CUTTING OFF, WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD. I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO START THE CAR WHEN IT HAS CUT OFF IN THE PARKING LOT, AND IF IT STALLED WHILE DRIVING, I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO KEEP IT RUNNING BY "FEATHERING" THE ACCELERATOR UNTIL IT STARTS TO RUN NORMALLY. I HAVE READ SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ABOUT OTHER OWNERS WITH SIMILAR VEHICLES TO MINE, EACH HAVING THE 6.1L HEMI ENGINE OR THE 5.7 HEMI. IT APPEARS THAT I MAY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM, WHERE THE FUEL SHUT-OFF FLOAT FAILS TO PERFORM PROPERLY. I READ THAT THE NHTSA PE13016 WAS ISSUED THAT RELATES TO THIS PROBLEM. I CANNOT PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DATE SINCE I NO LONGER FILL THE TANK. (NOTE THAT I HAVEN'T HAD THE PROBLEM UNLESS I HAVE FILLED THE TANK. MONTHS AGO, I WAS ABLE TO FILL THE TANK WITHOUT EXPERIENCING THE PROBLEM, BUT THAT WAS A WHILE BACK. (I ESTIMATED THE LATEST DATE IN ORDER TO COMPLETE THIS FORM.)

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

MY CAR STALLS WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS. THE STALL OCCURS AFTER SLOWING DOWN AND COMING TO A STOP. AFTER PLACING THE CAR IN PARK AND TRYING SEVERAL TIMES TO START THE CAR, THE ENGINE FINALLY STARTS. I PUT IT INTO DRIVE, BUT IT DOESN'T ENGAGE IMMEDIATELY. I THEN HAVE TO REPEAT BY TURNING THE CAR OFF AND GOING THRU THE START AND ENGAGE SEVERAL TIMES. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD WITH CARS BEHIND ME. I GET REAL PANICKY AND DON'T FEEL AT ALL SAFE WITH THIS SITUATION. I NOTICED THE CONNECTION BETWEEN THE FULL TANK AND THE STALLING AFTER QUITE SOME TIME AS THE OWNER OF THE VEHICLE. I DID SOME ONLINE RESEARCH TO FIND THAT MANY OTHER OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 300, CHARGER AND MAGNUM. I'VE ALSO READ ARTICLES ONLINE STATING THAT YOU INVESTIGATED THE ISSUE AND FOUND CHRYSLER AT FAULT. WITH THIS FINDING, I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO FIX THE PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME I HAVE NOT CONTACTED CHRYSLER AS I'D LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THEY WILL INDEED FIX THE PROBLEM WITH A REPLACEMENT. AFTER ALL, THIS IS WHAT THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO. I ALSO READ THEY WERE MAILING OWNERS, BUT SINCE OWNING THE CAR SINCE 2013, I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY CONTACT FROM THEM CONCERNING THE FUEL TANK ISSUE. WHAT PATH DO YOU SUGGEST I TAKE TO REMEDY THE SITUATION OF A FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT BY CHRYSLER? REGARDS.

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.

WHEN I FILL MY CAR WITH GAS MY ENGINE WILL REPEATEDLY STALL ANYWHERE FROM A MINUTE OR LESS TO AS LONG AS 5 TO 15 MINUTES UPON LEAVING THE STATION. ITS VERY MUCH LIKE THE PE13-016 INVESTIGATION. IN FACT I'VE BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THAT MY THE GAS TANK IS FAULTY. I DID MY RESEARCH AND UNCOVERED YOUR INVESTIGATION AND THOUGHT EVERYTHING WOULD BE OK BUT IT WASN'T. EVEN THOUGH MY CAR IS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM 5.7L V8 WITH A 19 GALLON FUEL TANK BOTH THE DEALER (LARRY MILLER DODGE BOISE) AND THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER ARE ADAMANT THAT MY GAS TANK DOES NOT HAVE THE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY DESCRIBED IN PE13-016. THEY INSIST MY CAR DOES NOT HAVE THE FAULTY TANK THAT WAS THE SUBJECT OF YOUR INVESTIGATION. I DON'T CLAIM TO UNDERSTAND HOW STALLING IN TRAFFIC IS NOT CONSIDERED A SAFETY ISSUE AND WORTHY OF A RECALL BUT ALL OTHER THINGS EQUAL, HOW COME MY CAR DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR THE EXTENDED LIFETIME WARRANTY WHEN EVEN MY DEALER IS SAYING MY CAR HAS THE EXACT SAME SYMPTOMS, ITS THE RIGHT MODEL YEAR AND THE RIGHT CONFIGURATION. THIS IS NOT A TRIVIAL THING. WOULD YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR SPOUSE AND CHILDREN RANDOMLY STALLED OUT IN TRAFFIC. AND LIKE ME, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER REPORTS FROM FELLOW CHRYSLER LX SERIES OWNERS (MAGNUM, CHARGER & 300C) REPORTING THAT NO, THE CAR WILL NOT ALWAYS START RIGHT BACK UP.

ON MULTIPLE OCASSIONS, DURING THE RE-FUELING OPERATION UP TO FULL LEVEL, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL OUT. NO TROUBLE CODES ARE STORED. AFTER RESTART, AND WHILE DRIVING AWAY THE VEHICLE MAY UNEXPECTEDLY STALL-OUT ON ONE OR MORE OCASSIONS WHILE STOPPED IN GEAR, OR AT SLOW SPEED OR WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AFTER THE REFUELING HAS TAKEN PLACE. WHEN THE CAR STALLS OUT WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLES BEHIND YOU DO NOT KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE AND NEAR ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED. ADDITIONALLY, IF ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, CROSS TRAFFIC ALSO DOES NOT KNOW THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH YOUR CAR, AND NEAR ACCIDENTS HAVE AGAIN ALMOST OCCURRED BECUASE YOU HAVE NOT CLEARED OUT OF THE INTERSECTION AT THE RATE/TIMING THAT THE OTHER DRIVER WOULD HAVE REASONABLY EXPECTED.

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

I HAD JUST FILLED UP MY GAS TANK AND UPON LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND REACHING THE FIRST STOP LIGHT (~100 YARDS FROM THE GAS STATION) MY CAR STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR FOLLOWING A COUPLE OF TRIES. THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THIS CAR. *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. WE IMPLORE NHTSA TO INTERVENE IMMEDIATELY! POSTED 27 FEB 2013. *TR

I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE OVER 55 MPH (SOMETIMES IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 35 MPH). THE FAILURE RESOLVED TEMPORARILY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. WHEN THIS DOES OCCUR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE POSITION AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT BOTH COME ON AND THE CAR REVS UP LOUDLY UNTIL IT IS SHUT OFF. IT IS DANGEROUS WHEN YOU ARE GOING 65-70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND THE CAR DROPS DOWN TO 35 MPH. NOW THAT THE WEATHER IS COLDER IT HAPPENS MORE OFTEN INCLUDING AS SOON AS YOU START THE CAR. THERE ALSO IS A LOT OF SHAKING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY OR WHILE BRAKING. I TOOK THE CAR TO A DODGE DEALER AND THEY SAID THE SUSPENSION IS EXTREMELY LOOSE, WHICH AGAIN IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE THE WHEEL COULD JUST FALL OFF. I ALSO HAVE THE PROBLEM THAT I CANNOT GET THE GEAR OUT OF PARK AT ANY POINT. I DID FIND THE RECALL AND CALLED CHRYSLER, BUT THEY SAY MY VIN IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL (WHY NOT? IT IS THE SAME PROBLEM). THEY NOTATED IT, BUT HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING TO HELP ME. I HAVE TO KEEP MY CAR IN NEUTRAL AND PUT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE ON ANYTIME I PARK. THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL OCCASIONS I CANNOT PARK IN SPOTS BECAUSE EVEN WITH THE BRAKE ON THE CAR STILL ROLLS. I HAVE READ SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ON HERE AND SEE THESE ARE ALL COMMON PROBLEMS AND MAY ALL HAVE RECALLS AND I FEEL MY CAR SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THOSE. *TR

I HAD JUST FILLED THE TANK OF MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM AND DROVE ABOUT 20 MILES INTO TOWN. AFTER MAKING A QUICK STOP AT A LOCAL STORE I ONCE AGAIN GOT INTO THE CAR AND BEGAN DRIVING APPROX. 30 MPH. AS I BEGAN TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN ALL POWER WAS LOST TO THE CAR; STEERING BECAME NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE, GAS PEDAL DID NOT WORK AND I BASICALLY WAS DEAD IN THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY TO OFF, PLACED THE CAR IN PARK AND THEN RESTARTED THE ENGINE. IT STARTED RIGHT UP, BEGAN TO DRIVE AND AT THE NEXT LIGHT NEEDED TO TAKE ANOTHER LEFT; WITH CARS COMING AT ME FROM THE OTHER DIRECTION I WENT TO TAKE THE LEFT WHEN ONCE AGAIN THE ENTIRE CAR LOST POWER..NO STEERING, NO GAS POWER, CHECK OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS LUCKY THAT THE ONCOMING CARS DID NOT HIT ME AND THAT I HAD ALLOWED ENOUGH SPACE INCASE THE SAME THING OCCURRED OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A COLLISION FOR SURE. THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW OTHER TIMES WITHOUT ANY REASON BUT WE ARE ALWAYS ABLE TO START IT BACK UP AND THEN IT MAY OR MAY NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. BEEN TOLD IT IS THE "ROLL OVER VALVE" FAILING $2 GRAND TO FIX!!!!! *TR
