Hello, I need your help and I cannot get any help from dodge. My vehicle has experienced an issue where the car will stall after the fuel tank is full. I heard that this was an issue but my vehicle was not on the list but however have the same issue. All I want to do is have fairness from an issue that I did not make happen. I have contacted dodge and they turned me away. Along with the stall engine it almost appear as if it might cause a leak. Can you please help. I will continue to send emails and possible contact corporate office or the mayor. Thank you
2005 Dodge Magnum fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 6: complaints 41 to 70 of 140, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After filling up my car with gas on numerous occasions, it stalls out. I have almost been hit in the rear by another car. It stalls at slow speeds as well as on the highway and I lose my power steering and brakes. I have to put it in neutral real quick and restart if possible. Very dangerous!
Chrysler is very aware of their fuel tank lifetime warranty for past two years. My vehicle has been sitting in dealership for 10 weeks due to stalling after getting gas in an oncoming intersection. They are not sending the parts and keep giving us the run around. They keep giving us a case manger number that never answers. I guess we are to drive into incoming traffic again and hope for the best. I think its time that this becomes a mandatory recall rather sending out false letters that the problem will be fixed. I am sure we are not the only ones getting the run around or have been almost hit because our cars will not go.
Engine stalls after filling fuel tank. Called service dept. At nearest dodge dealer on 1/26/16. Was told this is a known problem which requires replacement of the fuel tank. Service advisor offered to put me on the list, which I agreed to, and then stated there are 10 people on the list, then said they haven't done one of those for about a year. Sounds like the tank vendor is not supplying the dealer with enough tanks, or delaying the shipment of replacement tanks. The stalling problem is the subject of many the federal safety agency complaints and matter was "resolved" by extending warranty on the tank to lifetime warranty, but this doesn't help if the vehicle owner has to wait for years for the dealer to get a replacement tank.
After filling fuel tank and driving away from station car completely loses power and stalls out. I refuel and top off in a normal fashion, by stopping pump at first cut off. This happens about 1 in 10 times I refuel. No check engine lights and I have replaced, purge valve, charcoal canister, and vaccum leak valve. No help. When it quits, I have to restart, which it does, but even when the engine does not stop completely, it always shudders for a few seconds after filling. There as a recall on these vehicles, but only for 5.7 liter engines. The problem is the rollover valve. Chrysler replaced the tanks on the 5.7 lx cars, but will not recognize the problem on the 3.5 and 2.7 liter cars. This is a patterrn failure and a safety item.
The car shuts down to a crawl . Can't get any codes from it. First time it happened was on the highway pulled to the side of the road and restarted ran fine for the rest of the day. Getting worst every since now sitting in the driveway no codes afraid to put the family in it.I think dodge discontinued because they can't keep up with the problems
Engine stalls and cuts out while driving. I have owned this car since new and it has had this issue since the warranty expired. Basically when you fill the car up it will stall until you get the gas level down to a certain point. For years I have been filling the car to 3/4 tank to avoid the issue. This has now happened again on the way back from florida with my son driving. He filling the car up to the point where the pump clicks off. I think driving a car on the freeway at 70 miles an hour with this stalling is a big issue.
Car stalls going around corners. 10th incident happened today. All within past year.
Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. The contact noticed a strong odor of fuel fumes and the presence of a leak under the front of the vehicle that progressed without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for routine maintenance who noticed a crack in the fuel tank. The mechanic diagnosed that the fuel tank assembly needed to be replaced. The vehicle was also included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 15v313000 (air bags) and 14v770000 (air bags) and had not been notified of the safety recalls. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available. Parts distribution disconnect.
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. In addition, the contact stated that the fuel tank gauge increased and decreased independently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 120,000.
I believe my cars has a problem with the gas tank. On friday september 11 2015, we drove the car and it had gas at the time, suddenly the car just turned off on the street. On my gas meter or gage is always reading it on empty when it has fuel. It's also smelling like gasoline now. We bought the car from a used car dealer and it's still being financed. How can I know if it's a manufacture problem, I did some research and it happened to say that this gas problem happens to the dodge magnum 2005-2006, if it's a manufacture problem do I call the dodge dealer and will it be fixed by them. I have two children, I can't drive a vehicle that is not safe. What options do I have. The vehicle also has an air bag recall, which the dealer has not fixed because they don't have the parts it's been over 3 weeks since we received the safety recall notice by mail.
When you fill the gas tank the engine will stall several times until the gas level lowers. If you fill the tank to 3/4 full it wont stall. After the stall the engine will restart after several attempts. Very dangerous if on freeway or no spot to pull over. I bought the car new in 2004.
After filling up the car with gas it stalls and you lose steering and brake control, very dangerous and my wife is now scared to drive the car. Stalling went away after an hour trying to get home. Next morning seemed to run fine. Next fill up did the same thing. This problem is going to cause deaths for sure if it has not already. Contacting the dealer asap to see if they have others with same issue.
I have been having issues with my car just dying while I am driving. It has now happened 4xs. When I went online to research this I came across an extended warranty program from chrysler which stated this issue was with the gas tank and cars were receiving replacement gas tanks. I called their corporate offices to inquire and was told my VIN was not included. How can a car be excluded when it displays this issue? I am scared to drive. It happened to me on the freeway, in a u-turn, once at a stop light and once just driving down the street.
Upon getting fuel, car would cut out while driving until gas gauge showed about 3/4 full. If manually filled tank to not full, no problem.
2005 dodge rt magnum: right after full-up the car start jerking like if it was trying to cut off, but then smoothed back to normal operation and then started again jerking like if the car was trying to cut off and trying to stay started. After about 10 miles the car running without a problem again.
Just filled up vehicle, was leaving parking lot, and the car stalled. I lost all power steering and brakes, it was very scary. Hard to restart, was afraid to drive it after that. Stalled a couple times subsequently.
After filling up with fuel the car has a tendency to stall at intersections or stop and turns. Also will surge or loose power at highway speeds. Usually only last for 0-15 miles or so and then goes away until next fill up. I believe this fault is due to a fuel tank issue, that when filled causes fuel to be shut off to engine. Possibility for being rear ended are very great with this kind of problem. Especially in high traffic areas.
Purchased a used 2005 dodge magnum rt 5.7 (as is no warranty )on 11/15/14. On the drive home from the dealer, filled the car with fuel and the engine was hard to start and after it started ran for a short time and stalled. After several start stall cycles near the gas station got the car on the interstate and it lost power at speed and ran rough for short periods but did not stall. After aprox. 10 minutes of highway speed the car ran fine. Two weeks later after fill up had the same stalling issues. Having read these cars have history of these issues, I attempted to lower the fuel level by driving the car. The car started and about a 1/2 mile from the house stalled in a busy intersection. Unable to restart the car, had to get towed home. The car started right up when it came off the tow truck. Siphoned 5 gal from fuel tank & can't duplicate failure. No error indications during failures.
Filled up gastank went 5or6 miles car stalled would restart then stall with in a mile ran fine above 30mph cleared up after15-20 miles I understand there is a issue with this just purchased this auto on 11/7 2014.
Vehicle stalls after re-fuelling.
2005 dodge magnum se will randomly stall at stop.currently this year 2014 car is stalling at every stop or idle.it will also randomly shut off on the highway. I have had the throttle body cleaned then replaced along with various sensors and problem still persists. I have taken it to multiply shops and no fix.when the stall occurs no code will come up but I will get the lightening bolt light on dash come on but will go away once the car is off and then turned on. Once car is turned off it will work normal until at stop or sometime on highway again.
We have a 2005 dodge magnum. The car would stall and shut off. We had the fuel pump replaced, instead of a recall, they changed it out with a lifetime warranty on the fuel pump. The problem is, the fuel pump hasn't worked, it's made my car worse. After waiting 5 months for a replacement, my car still doesn't work. I cannot drive the car, it's way too dangerous. I cannot believe that there wasn't a recall. I have read plenty of blogs online and there are others out there that this hasn't worked for either. Re open the [xxx] case and get our cars fixed. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Tl* the contact owns a 2005 dodge magnum. While driving approximately 55 MPH, the contact noticed a strong fuel odor inside the vehicle that worsened when accelerating. The failure occurred on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who stated that the fuel line to the fuel pump that was located under the rear passenger side seat failed. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was unavailable. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 75,590.
After filling tank and driving away engine idle speed was very rough and decreased about 500 RPM while stopped at a light. Could clearly feel engine shudder. Gas cap was tight and there are no other issues such as check engine lights or drivability. This the fourth time this has occurred and it is always after a fill up. A hessitation while trying to accelerate could cause an accident. I have checked other owners and I am confident the problem is related to a defect in the roll over valve in the tank. Dodge recently issued a recall on the roll over valves (must replace entire tank) for the 5.7 liter lx cars but not the 3.5 or 2.7 models.
Today after filling my car a mile from gas station it stalled at 45mph. It then stalled at every stop I made .car just dyes loosing power steering and made it interesting to watch motorists behind me scramble to avoid me. Had car towed at my expense to dodge dealer. They returned a call stating dodge has fuel tank issues (its all over the internet. With other customers). They said they would call me in approx. 2 months for replacement gas tank . Back orders. Get to pick up my car tomorrow ,not looking forward to my first drive on the street.
After filling up the fuel tank on the 2005 dodge magnum awd (5.7l), the vehicle began to stall at idle. Throttle had to be feathered at stop lights to prevent stall. After fuel level decreased to 7/8th of a tank, the stalling stopped and the car behaved normally. This problem repeated four more times in 2012, then began to happen at every full fuel fill up in 2013. Starting in 2014, careful metering of the fuel into the tank showed that if the total fuel level was kept below 145 pints, the stalling behavior would not happen.
From approximately august 2008 through august 2013, vehicle would stall at low speeds after filling fuel tank. Replaced fuel tank in august 2013, which corrected the issue. In response to the federal safety agency action number pe13016, chrysler extended the fuel tank warranty on some 2005 and 2006 dodge magnum vehicles. My vehicle, which was manufactured during this time period and seemingly had the same issue as the affected vehicles, is not covered under chrysler's warranty extension. Chrysler seems to have made a decision that will allow unsafe vehicles not covered under their warranty to continue to operate on the road.
I keep my car maintience. My dodge magnum completely stalled on me and I had to have it towed to my residence. Both fuel injectors went bad and it cost me over $1000 to fix.
Immediately after refueling to a full tank engine stalled and almost stopped while at a stop light only about 100 feet from gas station. While stopped stumble occurred two times, but never stopped completely. This is clearly a safety issue since a stall could cause traffic problems, brake booster degradation and driver insecurity. This second occurrence in a month.
