Car engine quits running after startup following refueling, and several times thereafter, requiring that the engine be restarted each time. It occurs after each refueling. All operational control of the vehicle is lost when the engine quits. I consider this to be a great safety hazard.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. The contact stated while driving 65 MPH, the vehicle hesitated and then ceased. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact stated he was able to park on the side of the road and restart the ignition however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the contact was informed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The contact called local dealer (napleton's northwestern chrysler jeep dodge ram located at 5950 n western ave, chicago, il 60659) and informed the dealer of the failure. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer had been informed of failure. The failure mileage was 150,000.
In april 2013 I took my 05 magnum to sunset dodge in sarasota to find out why the car stalls. After 5 months of going back to them and them not being able to find out what was wrong. I stopped filling the car up all the way and the problem stopped. The dealer said it is not our problem. I now find out it was a know issue and many people have the same issue.
Filled fuel tank up as usual then started the car and immediately the car stalled. I restarted it and it stalled again. Started car again while pressing the gas pedal and it drove a few seconds then a super hard misfire and it cut off again. Finally starts and idles terribly...runs terribly for about 10 miles then it seems to balance itself out. It's been happening consistently for the last few years and almost caused someone to rear end me a few times. I hear there's a recall or lifetime warranty on the fuel tank but no notice was ever sent to me.
The vehicle stalls multiple times after a fuel fill up. It's very dangerous because it will stall even while driving in traffic. It could cause an accident if other vehicles don't realize my vehicle has stalled. Up to this point I have thankfully not been the cause of an accident. I try to never fill the tank due to this problem. It usually stops once I have driven a few miles and if I open the fuel door to release the built up vapors.
Vehicle stalls after fueling up. It appears to be the same exact problem that has occurred with the x53 fuel tank. This is an extremely hazardous issue that has been going on since the vehicle was new. The hazard is because a stalled vehicle in the road is now an obstruction and an accident waiting to happen. The fact that this issue was diagnosed on the v8 with a 19 gallon tank and was covered by a chrysler warranty extension admits the issue was on chrysler and should be extended to these vehicles as well. Service bulletin 14-002-14 and warranty extension bulletin id-14-01 refer to the exact issue as my vehicle.
Engine stalls immediately following fuel fill-up. Stalled on highway, difficulty maintaining the car steady. Car now hesitates to start. Can only fill gas tank halfway.
My 2005 magnum rt hemi 5.7 stalls after a fuel fill-up. During normal driving the car suddenly looses power and stalls only after filling the car up at the gas station. I have had the same problem numerous times in the last couple years from 2016-2019. I have found information on this issue under the federal safety agency report pe13016 listed online and see the investigation was closed. Also see that dodge supposedly created an "extended recall" for "stalls after fuel fill-up" to include a free gas tank replacement. However this is listed for 2006 vehicles and I am reporting this problem on my 2005 dodge magnum rt (5.7 hemi engine). This can be a serious issue if the car stalls in traffic as it could cause an accident with another vehicle. This issue can happen when turning right or left or on a straight section of road the only way to prevent the car from stalling is to use the gear shift to keep the RPM's of the engine higher by being in 2nd or 3rd gear. From searching the internet on this issue I have found many people have had the same problem. When searching on pe13016 or pe13-016 I have found many articles about this. The so called "extended warranty" from chrysler shows up as missing page for and reference to x53 which is supposedly the "extended recall" for all years of the dodge magnum and many other dodge or chrysler vehicles. Is it going to take a fatality with this issue for someone to wake up? What do I do now? I have no recall from dodge or chrysler about this issue. The issue is only resolved by a gas tank replacement from what I can read online.
When I fill up gas tank with gas vehicle stalls while drive in traffic on highway and have to be put the gear shift/transmission into park on the roadways to initiate the start up process cause an unsafe/hazardous environment on the road way with other drivers not aware of the issues of the stalled vehicle.
When the gas tank is filled, the motor cuts out and stalls when driving, I have to keep the tank at half way to avoid this. My wife filled it up and it stalled on her while she was making a left hand turn in traffic. My child was in the car as well. It appears that this organization as well as chrysler was aware of this situation. I never received any notification and have been dealing with it for some time now. This is unacceptable as my whole family was at stake! Please advise the next course of action. I am going to contact my local dealer as a start. Attaching a news article on the situation..
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.
After filling my car with gas it runs rough and stalls several times while moving. After restarting it several times it seems ok until the next time I fill the gas again. When it stalls it sounds like the drivetrain is messing up. It does this city highway turning or straight. This has been happening regularly for at least 6 weeks only right after filling and sporadically for about 4 months or more.
After filling up gas tank car will stall out. Big safety concern, car stalled while making a turn on city street, lose power steering very dangerous. Happens every time I fill up gas tank.
When filling gas tank to a full condition the engine will die suddenly without warning. The car/engine will stall unexpectedly after leaving gas station often in a perilous position. Does not happen unless car is over 3/4 full of fuel. If the car is filled up it can die anytime at any moment.
After filling up with gas, the engine will stall and shut off at an idle. This happens immediately after filling up the gas tank. Once I make it home after it stalls 2 to 3 time and it sits over night it is fine the next day. The engine stalls when sitting at a red light at idle speeds.
When you feel the tank up the car shuts off a couple times until some of the gas went down then it acts normal
When filling up my vehicle the car will shut off while driving, it will shudder and then die all the lights on the instrument panel will go on I will lose control of the vehicle. It only does it when I fill up the gas tank and if I am stopped at a red light or going under 45mph after filling up the tank. If im going 60+ miles it will sputter act like it is going to die but it doesn't.
Recently bought this car took it to the shop because the car was cutting off on its own whether parked or in drive which is very dangerous. Had it checked out and it came up with a code for crankshaft position sensor, got that changed the code went away but the car still turns off on its own and no codes show up. Crankshaft has now been changed 2 times&& the electrical things were checked just to be safe!&& a few days ago I was driving maybe about 35mph & the car decelerated on its own and I couldn't accelerate had to turn the car off then back on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. The contact received a recall notice for the driver side air bag and fuel pump. The contact took the vehicle to be repaired at lakeshore chrysler (330 e howze beach rd, in slidell, la). After the repair, the contact was informed by the technician that a code was found for the weight sensor circuit on the front passenger seat, which failed and needed to be replaced. Until the sensor was replaced, both the driver and passenger side air bags could deactivate and would have to be repaired at the contact's expense. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The federal safety agency campaign numbers were unknown. The approximate failure mileage was 200,092.
2005 dodge magnum r/t stalling. My magnum has had intermittent stalling problems after filling with fuel, situation occurs when the vehicle is moving as well as when stopped and idling. Vehicle will restart after several attempts, then when moving will stall again. Vehicle loses all power, steering. And brakes. Stalling occurred on city streets, and on highway, vehicle's speed varied from idle, up to 65 MPH.
After filling tank at gas station, engine completely stopped while turning out of station. Had to shift to neutral and restart, narrowly avoiding an accident. I did not "top off" tank, as it was about 3/4 full when pulling away. This is a recurring problem and always manifests itself after refuling, or soon after. The problem is a faulty vent valve that cannot be replaced separate from entire tank. Numerous others have this problem yet the manufacturer refuses to issue a recall.
After I fill up the fuel tank with gas, the vehicle stops running. This usually happens 1-3 times after filling up. It will die at low speeds or idle at a stop light and has even died while driving down the road (once in the middle of a roundabout) this seems to. Be a very common problem for these vehicles with the 5.7 liter v-8 (such as mine). I recently purchased this vehicle used after experiencing this issue, did a little digging and found out this a very common problem. This is obviously a hazard and I am wondering if there is a recall in place for this issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. After refueling, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle. The failure recurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,000.
Engine stalls multiple times after refueling while driving, usually when slowing to turn or slowing to come to a stop. I just purchased this vehicle, and have not been able to get to a dealer to have the problem checked, but I understand this is a problem with this engine and there has not been a recall to correct.
Strong gasoline smell kept getting worse in passenger compartment over the last few weeks while driving and when vehicle was parked. Internet search lead to investigation of fuel pumps under rear passenger seat. Rear seat was removed and a puddle of gasoline was visibly present directly under passenger rear seat. It appears fuel pump leaking is due to crack on fuel pump nipple. I allow this information to be shared to the public.
The fuel pump is located directly under the passenger side back seat. It has a leak, and my car has been smeeling like gas for a month now without my knowledge. I finally took it to a mechanic and there was a poddle of gas under the seat where the nipple on the fuel pump broke. Not to mention my battery in the trunk , well the wires cross right over the fuel pump. This is not safe at all. These items should be nowhere near each other.
Every time I refuel to a full tank the engine will surge or completely stall out within a 1/2 mile. Now there is a strong fuel smell as well when I fill up tank. Because of these problems, I only fill to 3/4. Doing this seems to help both issues. Thank you chrysler for not covering my model in the gas tank recall for faulty vent valves. All lx chryslers have this problem. I already replaced a fuel pump seal, charcoal canister, nvld valve and purge valve. No help. This needs the tank recall or someone may die.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. While driving approximately 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle restarted after a few attempts. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 72,000.

I have had an ongoing problem with my 2005 dodge magnum rt 5.7l 58,000 mi on it. After filling up the gas tank , the vehicle will shut down during driving many times before finally going again. All power including the power steering goes. I didn't relate the problem at first with fueling , this has been happening for a few years. I took it to the dodge dealer a few years ago , and had the PCM , and other parts replaced , stalled on the way home. Nothing has worked so far. This seems to be an ongoing problem with these vehicles . I don't even trust it to drive on the highway , and I don't like even putting my grandchildren in the car , because you never know, it could stall anywhere, I planned on keeping this car for a long time I still have very low miles on it., and now I fear it. Dodge needs to do something about this. I haven't seen any recalls on this , but I have seen some people have had the fuel tank replaced stating it is the rollover valve. Just because these cars are older doesn't mean we have to give them up . Dodge please help! We shouldn't have to pay for a problem in 85+% of the cars
