HAD FILLED UP GAS TANK, UPON PULLING OUT EXPERIENCED ENGINE HESITATION AND LACK OF POWER. A FEW MINUTES LATER WHILE PASSING THOUGH A MAJOR INTERSECTION WITH 3 CHILDREN IN CAR, VEHICLE STALLED, CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND OF COURSE ANY MEANS OF PROPULSION. THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN BUT STALLED THREE MORE TIMES BEFORE RETURNING HOME. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY HAZARDOUS SITUATION WHICH CAN ENDANGER LIVES IN A HIGH SPEED AND HIGH TRAFFIC SITUATION. *TR

AFTER FUELING CAR TO NEAR THE FULL MARK I WAS ATTEMPTING TO ENTER THE TRAFFIC FLOW ON INTERSTATE 75 AT OCALA. THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE ENGINE DIED ( NO POWER BRAKES OR STEERING) ATTEMPTED TO RESTART CAR IN NEUTRAL WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF CAR. TRAFFIC WAS RUNNING 70MPH AND I WAS MERGING INTO THE TRAFFIC FLOW. THE CAR WOULD NOT RESTART ACTING AS IF FLOODED. LUCKILY I WAS DRIVING AND NOT MY WIFE WHO HAS MUSCULAR DYSTROPHY AS SHE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR. MY RESEARCH INDICATES THE PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY DODGE AND IS RELATED TO A PURGE VENT VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. IT SEEMS THE VELVET STICKS OPEN AND ALLOWS GAS , NOT JUST THE FUMES TO BE RECIRCULATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY (INTAKE) AND FLOODS THE ENGINE. DODGE STATES THIS PROBLEM CAN AFFECT ALL DODGE CHARGER, MAGNUM AND 300 MODEL CARS. IT REQUIRES A FUEL TANK REPLACEMENT AS THE PURGE VALVE IS INCORPORATED INTO THE TANK ITSELF. *TR

SECOND INCIDENT: NOVEMBER 27, 2014 DRIVING TO VAN NUYS, CA FROM SIMI VALLEY, CA AT APPROX. 5:30 PM, FILLED UP GAS TANK AND PROCEEDED DOWN STREET TOWARDS FREEWAY ONRAMP, CAR STALLED 3 TIMES BEFORE GETTING ON FREEWAY. THIS IS THE SECOND INCIDENT (HAPPENED TWO WEEKS PRIOR, ALSO FOLLOWING FUEL FILL-UP). FIRST INCIDENT (TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO SECOND INCIDENT): FILLED UP TANK IN PORTER RANCH, CA, HEADED TO VAN NUYS, CA... DROVE ON FREEWAY OK, EXITED FREEWAY AT ROSCOE BLVD AND TURNED LEFT. CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF LEFT HAND TURN. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND LIFE THREATENING IF CAR STALLS IN THE MIDDLE OF A LEFT HAND TURN AS ONCOMING TRAFFIC APPROACHES. *TR

2ND SUBMISSION - I DID NOT GET A CONFIRMATION OF MY FIRST ONE AND I HAVE MORE INFORMATION. MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM WITH THE 5.7L HEMI HAS HAD AND CONTINUES TO HAVE THE ISSUES OUTLINED IN NHTSA INVESTIGATION PE 13016. IT STALLS OUT AFTER FUELING. IT HAS NOW STARTING DOING IT WHEN THE WEATHER GETS MUCH WARMER DURING THE DAY. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER VIA E-MAIL AND WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENSION OF THE WARRANTY ON THE GAS TANK AND ASSOCIATED PARTS. I HAVE CONTACTED BILLION HERE IN SIOUX FALLS AND ALSO PAPIK IN LUVERNE MN AND NEITHER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS HEARD OF THIS ISSUE, THE INVESTIGATION, OR THE FIX. AT THING POINT I MAY JUST HAVE MY LOCAL SHOP THAT I USE FIX IT AS IT HAS BECOME VERY NERVE RACKING TO DRIVE. I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR SOMETHING THE COMPANY HAS COMMITTED TO FIX. I DID DOWNLOAD A COPY OF THE LETTER FROM THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT WAS LINKED TO THE INVESTIGATION PAGE. I NEVER RECEIVED A COPY OF THIS LETTER FROM CHRYSLER WHICH IS PROBABLY BECAUSE I AM THE SECOND OWNER OF THIS CAR. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP YOU CAN PROVIDE. *TR

Mileage: 89,948

JUST AFTER FILLING MY GAS TANK ON THIS VEHICLE, I EXPERIENCED STALLING 3 TIMES, INCLUDING IN AN INTERSECTION. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER. AFTER INSPECTION, THEY REPORTED THAT IT WAS THE ROLLOVER VALVE IN THE FUEL TANK. I ALERTED THEM TO THE CHRYSLER EXTENDED WARRANTY, THEY REPORTED THAT MY VIN IS NOT COVERED AS PART OF THIS WARRANTY. I FEEL THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE ON THE PART OF CHRYSLER AS IT IS THE EXACT PROBLEM THAT IS DESCRIBED IN THE WARRANTY. THIS NEEDS TO BE EXTENDED TO ALL VEHICLES AS IT IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE AS STALLING IN AN INTERSECTION IS HIGHLY DANGEROUS. *TR

Mileage: 10,100

JUST FILLED THE TANK AND WAS LEAVING THE GAS STATION AND THE CAR STALLED AT THE STOP SIGN. CAR CONTINUED TO STALL FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND WAS HARD TO START EACH TIME, SEEMS TO STALL AT BOTH LOW AND HIGH SPEEDS. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS FOR THE CAR TO JUST STALL IN MID TRAFFIC. THIS HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES SINCE THEN UNTIL I REALIZED IT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN THE GAS TANK IS FULL. TOOK IT TO DEALER TODAY AND THEY CONFIRMED IT IS DUE TO THE FUEL TANK ROLLOVER VALVE STICKING AND BLOCKING A VENT. ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE GAS TANK. CAR STALLED ONCE TODAY ON THE WAY TO THE DEALER SERVICE CENTER (THEY WANTED IT WITH A FULL TANK) AND THEN THREE TIMES ON MY WAY HOME AFTER THE COMPLETION OF THEIR ANALYSIS. IT WILL CONTINUE TO STALL UNTIL THE TANK LEVEL GOES DOWN A GALLON OR SO OF FUEL. *TR

Mileage: 69,000

HAD JUST FILLED FUEL TANK AND VEHICLE STALLED BEFORE GETTING OUT OF GAS STATION DRIVEWAY. I WAS COMING TO A STOP AS EXITING STATION AND WHILE BRAKING (ALMOST AT A FULL STOP), EXPERIENCED A QUICK ENGINE SURGE AND THEN ENGINE STALLED. LUCKILY I WAS AT A STOP, SHIFTED TO PARK AND RESTARTED VEHICLE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED LESS THAN A MILE AWAY AS I WAS MAKING A RIGHT TURN, WITHOUT POWER STEERING THE VEHICLE WAS NOW STALLED IN THE ONCOMING LANE. I CAME TO A FULL STOP, SHIFTED TO PARK AND RESTARTED AGAIN. LUCKILY I WAS LESS THAN A MILE FROM MY OFFICE AND JUST PARKED VEHICLE THERE. THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN I LAST FILLED MY TANK (APPROX 10 DAYS AGO), STALLING SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I COULD GET OUT OF THE COSTCO PARKING LOT. ON THAT OCCASION, I CONGESTED TRAFFIC FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WHILE WAITING FOR THE VEHICLE TO RESTART AND HEAD HOME. IT DIDN'T OCCUR AGAIN DURING THE SUBSEQUENT DAYS, BUT TODAY I FUELED UP AGAIN AND GOT THE EXACT SAME ISSUE - SO IT'S DEFINITELY SOMETHING RELATED TO THE FUELING PROCESS. I'VE HAD THE VEHICLE SINCE IT WAS BRAND NEW AND THIS IS A NEW ISSUE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 DODGE MAGNUM WITH 71,173 MILES. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT ANY SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WILL STALL. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE THAT WOULD ALSO TO CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THIS FAILURE HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE LAST YEAR. THE CONTACT HAD CONTACTED THE DEALER ABOUT THIS FAILURE AND WAS TOLD THAT DEFECT INVESTIGATION PE13016 (FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE) WILL BE RECALLED IN THE FUTURE. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED.

AFTER FILLING THE CAR WITH GAS AND PULLING ONTO THE STATE HIGHWAY THE CAR MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING. IT STARTED BACK UP AND GOT UP TO AROUND 45 MPH THEN THE MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING AGAIN. AGAIN THE CAR STARTED BACK UP AND GOT UP TO AROUND 25 MPH AND THE MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING. THEN IT STARTED BACK UP, BUCKED ABOUT 15-20 TIMES AND GOT ME HOME. NEXT DAY THE CAR RAN FINE. FIVE DAYS LATER, FILLED THE CARS GAS TANK UP AGAIN AND PULLED INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING, WAS ALMOST HIT BY A DUMP TRUCK. AGAIN THE CAR STARTED BACK UP GOT UP TO AROUND 35 MPH AND THE MOTOR STOPPED RUNNING. THIS HAS NOW BEEN HAPPENING AFTER EVERY REFILL. I DON'T TOP OFF THE TANK.

Mileage: 123,500

WHENEVER I FILL MY GAS TANK, THE VEHICLE WILL STALL WITHIN ONE OR TWO BLOCKS FROM GAS PUMPS. IT CAN HAPPEN AT 20 MILES AN HOUR OR LESS. IT CAN HAPPEN ENTERING A HIGHWAY AT 50 MILES PER HOUR. THE CAR WILL START RIGHT UP AND WILL NORMALLY RUN FINE AFTER STALLING. ON ONE OR TWO OCCASIONS IT STALLED TWICE AFTER A FILL UP. LATELY IT HAPPENS AFTER EACH FILL UP REGARDLESS OF GAS STATION OR BRAND OF GAS.

Mileage: 80,000

SUDDEN ENGINE STALL MOSTLY FEW MILES AFTER FUEL CHARGE. THIS PROBLEMS WERE HAPPENED FROM SEVERAL MONTHS AGO, AND BECOMING MORE FREQUENT ALMOST EVERY FUEL CHARGE. WHEN STALL ENGINE, IT'S DIFFICULT RESTART FEW MINUTES. ONE CASE SUDDEN STALL AT DRIVING MAKES ME PANIC LOOSING POWER ASSIST OF STEERING AND BRAKE, ALMOST HIT SIDE WALK AT MY NEIGHBORHOOD. ASKED DEALERSHIP TO SEE AND MADE SOME REPAIR FOR FUEL INJECTION, EGR VALVE. BUT PROBLEM WAS NOT FIXED. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS.

Mileage: 57,535

I FILLED THE TANK WITH GAS, STARTED TO EXIT THE STATION AND THE ENGINE STALLED. THE OUT OF FUEL LIGHT CAME ON EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FULL AND IT CONTINUED TO STALL AND SPUTTER. IT HAS NOW HAPPENED THREE TIMES SINCE THIS FIRST EVENT AND IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THIS ENGINE TYPE.

Mileage: 63,000

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

WHENEVER I FILL UP MY 2006 DODGE MAGNUM 5.7 RT, IT DIES WITHOUT NOTICE AFTERWARDS. IT USUALLY TAKES ABOUT 10 MILES TO WORK OUT ALL OF THE DIEING AND STALLING BEFORE IT WORKS NORMALLY. THIS HAPPENS EVERYTIME THE GAS TANK IS FILLED TO THE TOP. I WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT WHEN THIS HAPPENED, SO I'M VERY PARANOID AFTER GETTING GAS NOW, THIS SHOULD BE FIXED BY DODGE. *TR

Mileage: 80,000

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

Mileage: 56,000

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

Mileage: 75,000

THE ENGINE STALLS AFTER REFUELING,SOMETIMES IT WILL RESTART OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO SIT LIKE 15 MINUTES BEFORE IT WILL RESTART. *TR

Mileage: 89,350

AFTER FUELING THE CAR UP IT STALLED OUT SEVERAL TIMES (IN TRAFFIC) WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS SINCE THEN. UPON STOPPING AND RESTARTING, THE VEHICLE ENGINE SURGED AND STALLED AGAIN. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY CHECK VALVE WITHIN THE FUEL TANK. *TR

Mileage: 71,350

STALLED WHILE TRAVELING 65MPH, THEN REFIRED SEVERAL TIMES. LEAVING FROM A STOPLIGHT THE MAGNUM DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TWO INTERSECTING HIGHWAYS, RESTARTED, THEN DIED AGAIN. 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

Mileage: 89,000

ENGINE STALLS WHILE DRIVING, ALSO STALLS WHILE CAR IS NOT MOVING, WHETHER IN PARK, REVERSE, OR DRIVE THE CAR SHUTS DOWN AND SOMETIMES STARTS UP IMMEDIATELY AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T, IF CAR IS MOVING AT SPEEDS ABOVE 30 AND THE STALL HAPPENS IT WILL KICK RIGHT BACK UP ON IT'S OWN. *TR

Mileage: 97,000

ON 4 OCCASIONS TO DATE, THE MOST RECENT OCCURRING ON 12/21/13, THE ENGINE STALLS MULTIPLE TIMES AFTER REFUELING. ALL OCCASIONS OCCURRED AT IDLE. SAFETY HAZARD EXISTS WHILE EXITING VEHICLE ON BUSY ROADS TO PUSH TO SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR

Mileage: 101,500

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

VEHICLE STALLED WHEN STOPPED AT INTERSECTION VERY SHORTLY AFTER REFUELING. THIS PROBLEM CONTINUES TO OCCUR REGULARLY AFTER REFUELING. IT HAS OCCURRED BOTH WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STOPPED AND ALSO WHILE IN MOTION. RESTARTING THE VEHICLE IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT. ONCE RESTARTED THE VEHICLE FREQUENTLY SURGES WHILE DRIVING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES OF OPERATION UNTIL RETURNING TO NORMAL. THIS PROBLEM AND ITS ASSOCIATED SYMPTOMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AS A SAFETY RISK. MY HUSBAND ALSO EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM WITH HIS 2006 DODGE MAGNUM RT WITH THE 5.7L ENGINE, RECENTLY TRADED IN FOR A DIFFERENT VEHICLE. *TR

Mileage: 65,000

FILLED UP FUEL TANK, STARTED RUNNING ROUGH RIGHT AFTERWARDS, STALLING OUT WHEN PULLING UP TO STOP LIGHT, CLEARED UP AFTER DRIVING FOR AWHILE, ONLY HAPPENS WHEN I FILL UP, WILL NOT HAPPEN IF I DON'T COMPLETELY FILL FUEL TANK. *TR

WHEN VEHICLE FUEL TANK IS FILLED WITH GASOLINE, CAR WILL STALL AND CUT OUT AND RUN VERY ROUGH. CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHEN PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN FOR MY WIFE AND FAMILY WHEN TRAVELING IN THIS CAR. VEHICLE HAS STARTED DOING THIS EVERY TIME THE FUEL TANK IS FILLED. WAS TOLD NOT TO OVERFILL TANK AND I DO NOT OVERFILL IT. HAVE READ THAT THE ONLY FIX IS REPLACING THE FUEL TANK BECAUSE OF A FAULTY VALVE(?), WHICH IS A VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

Mileage: 47,000

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

Mileage: 68,000

OVER THE COURSE OF THE PAST SIX MONTHS, MY ENGINE HAS MISSED AND STALLED AFTER REFUELING. THIS OCCURS AFTER EACH REFUELING AND IS A SAFETY CONCERN AS THERE IS NO WARNING THEN THE STALL MAY OCCUR. I'VE NOW INCURRED A VERY LARGE EXPENSE OF $2,340 TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THIS IS QUITE OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND I UNDERSTAND THE MATTER IS BEING INVESTIGATED. I HOPE THAT CAR OWNERS SUCH AS ME WILL BE REIMBURSED FOR THE EXPENSE OF THIS COSTLY REPAIR. *TR

Mileage: 100,000

ENGINE STALLS EVERY TIME FUEL TANK IS FILLED. TYPICALLY OCCURS AT AN IDLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLUP. VEHICLE FUEL SYSTEM COMPLETELY COMPROMISED LEAVING DRIVERS STRANDED IN TRAFFIC AND HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS DUE TO STALLING AT LOW SPEED, OR ACCELERATION FROM A LOW SPEED. HAS STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. HAS STALLED ON FREEWAY FORCING UNSAFE SITUATIONS. FUEL SYSTEM NOW DEFECTIVE DUE TO RECURRING INCIDENTS. ONLY RESOLUTION IS TO REPLACE DEFECTIVE FUEL, BECAUSE THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

Mileage: 105,000

VEHICLE STALLED AS I WAS MAKING A U-TURN. VEHICLE REQUIRED 3 ATTEMPTS TO RESTART AND AFTER SUCCESSFULLY STARTING THE VEHICLE, TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE FOR APPROXIMATELY 5 SECONDS. *TR

APPROXIMATELY 10 MILES AFTER THE LATEST GASOLINE FILL UP, THE CAR STALLED AT AN INTERSECTION. *TR

Mileage: 61,953

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

Mileage: 92,000

ACCELERATOR PEDAL BRACKET BROKE LEAVING THE VEHICLE WITH THE ABILITY TO IDLE ONLY. I WAS AT AN 8 LANE INTERSECTION, VERY BUSY SPOT, THE TRAFFIC CONTROL LIGHTS WEREN'T WORKING, THEY WERE FLASHING RED. I WAS PREPARING TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN, NOBODY WANTS TO LET YOU TURN, TRAFFIC WAS BACKED UP BIG TIME. I STARTED TO TURN AND HIT THE GAS PETAL AND THE CAR STOPPED IN THE MIDDLE OF MY TURN. NEXT THING I'M LOOKING AT A TRUCK RIGHT AT ME AND THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO TO QUICKLY GET OUT OF THE WAY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT OR SAVE MY OWN LIFE. THE PETAL, BRACKET & WIRING LIED ON THE FLOOR-USELESS. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE, WHAT IF THIS HAPPENED TO A SQUAD CAR, I'LL BET SURE THE CHARGERS THE POLICE USE ARE BUILT THE SAME WAY. WELL I SUPPOSE THE CRIMINAL WOULD GET AWAY BECAUSE THE POLICE COULD ONLY IDLE TO CATCH THEM. I TOOK PICTURES IF INTERESTED. *TR

ENGINE STALLS EVERY TIME FUEL TANK IS FILLED. TYPICALLY OCCURS AT AN IDLE IMMEDIATELY AFTER FILLUP. LEAVES ME STRANDED IN TRAFFIC AND HAS CAUSED SEVERAL NEAR MISS ACCIDENTS DUE TO STALLING AT LOW SPEED, OR ACCELERATION FROM A LOW SPEED. HAS STALLED WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC, CAUSING PEOPLE TO SWERVE OUT OF MY WAY ALMOST CAUSING SEVERAL COLLISIONS. *TR

I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK OF MY 2006 SRT8 DODGE MAGNUM. I THEN PULLED OUT OF THE GAS STATION PARKING LOT AND THE CAR DIED. THE CAR DIED MANY MORE TIMES THE REST OF THIS DAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. IT ACTED AS IF THERE WAS VAPOR LOCK. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE WITH GAS GETTING INTO THE EVAP CANISTER, THAT SO MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THEIR LX CHRYSLER PRODUCTS OF THIS YEAR. AFTER I BURNED OFF ABOUT FOUR GALLONS OF GAS, THIS SYMPTOM STOPPED HAPPENING. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES THIS YEAR WHEN I FILLED THE GAS TANK AND THE TEMPERATURE IS COOLER. I DO NOT TOP OFF. THIS IS A HAZARDOUS SITUATION. *TR

Mileage: 26,700

AFTER FILLING UP AT THE GAS STATION, I WAS ATTEMPTING TO GET BACK ON THE FREEWAY WHEN THE CAR STALLED AT THE STOP SIGN. I RECEIVED HELP IN PUSHING THE CAR OUT OF THE BUSY INTERSECTION. DUE TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS I CHECKED THE OIL LEVELS AND IF THE GAS CAP WAS SECURED PROPERLY. BOTH WERE FINE AND I WAS ABLE TO START THE CAR AND DRIVE TO THE ON-RAMP OF THE FREEWAY WHEN IT STALLED AGAIN. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE BUSY ON-RAMP AND WAS A HAZARD TO THE MANY SEMI TRUCKS MAKING THE TURN ONTO THE FREEWAY. AFTER WAITING FOR ALMOST AN HOUR FOR THE CAR TO COOL I CHECKED THE OIL AGAIN. IT WAS FULL AND FRESH AFTER BEING SERVICED RECENTLY. A CHP OFFICER SPOTTED ME ON THE RAMP AND I INFORMED HIM OF WHICH PANEL LIGHTS LIT UP AND THE WHAT THE MANUAL SUGGESTED. HE WANTED TO CHECK IF I HAD OIL PRESSURE AND SUGGESTED I ATTEMPT TO TURN IT ON. INDEED THE PRESSURE WAS FINE BUT THE CAR HAD A ROUGH IDLE, SPUTTERED AND DIED AGAIN. AFTER TURNING IT OVER AGAIN THERE WAS A STRONG SMELL OF FUEL, I TRIED REVVING THE ENGINE. IT DIED AGAIN. THE CHP OFFICER AND I AGREED IT WAS A FUEL PROBLEM AND INFORMED ME IT WOULD BE CHEAPER IF I CALLED A TOW TRUCK THAN IF HE DID AND SAID HE WOULD BE BACK TO CHECK ON ME. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR RUNNING LONG ENOUGH TO BACK OFF THE ON-RAMP AND INTO A PARKING LOT. IT DIED TWO MORE TIMES. AFTER GETTING IT STARTED AGAIN I REVVED THE ENGINE UNTIL IT IDLED PROPERLY AND WENT HOME. WHILE RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM ON LXFORUMS.COM I BECAME AWARE OF A FAULTY GAS TANK ISSUE WHICH WAS THE CAUSE. WHILE I'M GRATEFUL I WAS DRIVING SLOWLY WHEN THIS HAPPENED IT WAS STILL A SAFETY HAZARD TO MYSELF AND OTHERS TO HAVE A CAR DIE SO SUDDENLY. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I WILL BE SUBMITTING THIS ISSUE TO THEM AS WELL. ON LXFORUMS.COM A SURPRISING NUMBER OF VEHICLES HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. *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

VEHICLE STALLING AFTER FUEL FILL-UP. THE TEMPORARY FIX OF NOT "TOPPING OFF" THE TANK WORKED FOR A FEW MONTHS. THE PROBLEM IS HAPPENING MORE FREQUENTLY HOWEVER, REGARDLESS OF THE FUEL LEVEL. CAR SHUTTING OFF/LOSING POWER RANDOMLY IS A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD. *TR

I FILLED THE GAS TANK UP, GOT IN CAR AND WHEN I WAS MERGING ON FREEWAY CAR JERKED SEVERAL TIMES AND DIED. I WAS ALMOST HIT BY MULTIPLE CARS. GOT CAR INTO NEUTRAL WAS ABLE TO RESTART BUT IT DIED SEVERAL MORE TIMES. NOW EVERY TIME I FILL IT UP THE CAR DIES IN TRAFFIC AT SPEED. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. THE DEALER SAYS IT IS A FAULTY FUEL TANK BUT WILL NOT WARRANTY THE REPAIR. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND SEVERAL FORUMS WITH MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE WITH THE DODGE MAGNUM AND CHRYSLER 300. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND COULD GET SOMEBODY KILLED IF IT HASN'T ALREADY. *TR

I HAD STOPPED IN THE WACO, TX AREA TO FILL UP WITH GAS ON MY WAY TO ITALY, TX. I FILLED MY VEHICLE UP WITH GAS, STARTED IT, AND WAS ENTERING IN SOME GPS COORDINATES WHEN THE CAR SHUDDERED AND DIED. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED. SINCE THEN IT HAS PROBABLY HAPPENED 18-24 TIMES, ALWAYS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING A FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. SOMETIMES IT DIES IN TRAFFIC, OTHER TIMES THE ENGINE WILL SURGE AS IF I HAD TOUCHED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE SITTING AT A RED LIGHT. *TR

Mileage: 38,000

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

Mileage: 75,000

AFTER REFUELING AND FILLING UP THE TANK, THE CAR WILL SHUTDOWN UNDER BRAKING, CORNERING OR AT A STOP. THIS HAPPENED SO FREQUENTLY I NO LONGER FILL THE TANK AND STOP AT 3/4. THERE ARE SEVERAL INSTANCES REPORTED BOTH HERE AND IN CANADA ON THE CAR FORUMS. THE FIX HAS BEEN EITHER REPLACING THE TANK AND/OR THE EVAP VALVE AND PUMP. *TR
