05 dodge magnum having fuel issues after putting gas in the car. Won't start on first or 3rd time, improper fuel reading at any time while driving sitting still or just running in the yard. The car stalls after filling up mostly. The gas light comes on after filling up, while driving it, sitting still. It no certain time or thing for the light to come on or for the vehicle to stall. A strong odar of gas after you fill up. I never know how much gas is really in the car. I've replaced the fuel pumps on both sides. The check engine light continues to come on before the car starts, while you are driving it, or sitting at a light. I have the light tested and it comes back to the fuel pumps. I've been dealing with this problem for like a month now. The problem continue after replacing both side of the fuel pump.

I have a 2005 dodge magnum and I went into the cleaners to drop my clothes off. I went in the cleaners and came out and attempted to start my car and it wouldn't start. I thought it was the fuel pump. I had my car towed to the shop and the mechanic stated it was my engine was out. I think its the timing chain. I seen recalls for my engine but they state its for the newer version of the hemi but I think its all the same recall. I get my car maintenance at the dodge dealership and I haven't had any engine problems, no check engine lights , loss af power. There were literally no signs. I had got my oil changed at the dealership within a month of the incident.

I have a 2005 dodge magnum that I take extremely good care of. My car has had all of it's regular maintenance. A month ago I stopped at the lube shop to have the fluids and air pressure checked on my car before I headed out of town. The only fluid that was topped off was my windshield wiper fluid. When I tried to start my car to leave, it would not start. I had my car towed to dodge. Two days later I was informed by my service writer that I needed a new motor. Dodge told me that I dropped a #4 valve seat. The service manager told me that this problem was "really, really, really rare" and that only about "1 in a billion" this happens to. I am crushed. I went home and have been researching this issue in depth. This is not rare like dodge claims. I have come across 100's of other dodge owners with the same exact problem who are now left holding the bag. Something has to be done about this. Most of the vehicles this has happened to are already out of warranty. Dodge is aware of the faulty valve seats that are basically (for lack of a better term) glued in. There is absolutely no warning this is going to occur. My car never got hot, never smoked, never burned oil, never hesitated, never ran rough; it always happens when a car is being started and that is why it hasn't been recalled, because it is not considered a "safety" issue. Interestingly enough, the new models have the valve seats pressed and pinned in so this issue doesn't continue to occur. Recognizing that there was a flaw in the hemi motor and re-engineering it to fix the issue is admitting there was a defect. Dodge needs to recall the 2005-2007 hemi motors and address the dropping valve seats. This is not fair and dodge knows it.

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.

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.

I have a dodge magnum rt (it's now 7 mos old with 4000 miles). 3 mos after I bought the car, the engine started stalling intermittently when I tried to reverse out of the parking stall. Then when I tried the start the engine again, it would not start until I pressed on the gas pedal. I brought it in the dealership the first time, they "cannot duplicate customer's concern". Brought it in the second time, they installed a co-pilot in the car to monitor the stalling hoping that the computer would tell them something. I took the car in the third time for another problem, at the same time they took the reading off the co-pilot. The dealership told me that the co-pilot shows that the engine did stall, but the sensor was showing everything was running well with the car. They suggested to replace the computer sensor thinking that it might be defective that's why it is not showing anything. Weeks later they called and said they found the same problem in the pacifica. They re-install some software in my car and the engine stalling seems to disappear. However, the reversing is still not normal. The car seems to have problem with reversing. When reversing most car will move without having to push on the gas pedal. My car will stop at a certain point, then when I try to press on the pedal gently and slowly, the car will suddenly reverse really fast. I almost hit someone and another parked vehicle last week because of this. I brought my car in the dealership again this week (8th or 10th time in 6 mos) for this incident. Of course, their response is "cannot duplicate customer's concern".

After filling up fuel tank, and driving away vehicle dies, engine cuts out and will not start right away. Then once it starts it will cut out again and engine stalls. Usually by the 3 time engine starts and car gets driven the problem of stalling goes away. Concerned because this happens once I am driving on a road way.
