The car will stall every time after I fill up the gas. It 's very scary because I don't know when the car will die on me when I'm on the road and cars are behind me and just very afraid of someone is going to hit me from behind when my car dies on me suddenly. Yesterday I went to fill up the tank ( not all the way full ), after I drove about 1 block, the car stalled. I was unable to turn the steering wheel and the brakes lost power, I ran off the road and down an embankment to a parking lot right front tire blew out as I hit the curb. Some minor body damage.
2005 Dodge Magnum fuel system complaints
Page 4 of 6: complaints 71 to 100 of 140, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Engine stalls just after filling the gas tank when stopping at a traffic lights. This was handled under the federal safety agency action number pe13016 in the past. I understand this was closed on february 10, 2014, but has been recently reopened.
After filling gas tank, car shut off leaving station onto busy street. I was almost rear ended. Car did re-crank within a minute or two. This is a safety issue, especially in heavy traffic.
After filling up the tank with regular 87 octane and traveling less than a mile the vehicle stalled. I would restart the vehicle and it would stall again several times until about 10-15 miles it would subside. I realized after several fill ups there must be a correlation so I took my 2005 v8 magnum into the dealership. The dealership stated that it would cost between 1,500 to 2 grand to evaluate and fix the problem which they thought had to do with the fuel tank. Since I could not afford the repair cost the only remedy was to stop short of filling up the tank. No stalls occurred if I would fill up the tank 3/4. This went on for several years until one day I was distracted and filled the tank up 100%. It did not stall at low speeds but when I got on the highway stalled at 55 leaving me in an unsafe situation (not having control of the steering wheel). Fortunately I was strong enough to manipulate the steering wheel to the side of the highway. I was fearful to begin again at high speeds so I placed my flashers on and traveled several miles at 35 MPH with several stalls to follow. Now it is may of 2014 and the dealership has no warranty or recall noticed on this vehicle.
Car stalled while idling in gear, restarted car and it again died after 30 seconds of idling. Restarted once again and car stalled while accelerating at about 15 MPH. Stalls frequently happen after refueling.
My 2005 magnum also exhibits this problem. I would love to get this fixed "chrysler is extending the fuel-tank warranties on 153,817 2006 chrysler 300, dodge charger and magnum vehicles after complaints of engine stalling at low speeds, according to the federal safety agency. The federal safety agency announced it has ended its probe into the 2006 chrysler 300, dodge charger and magnum vehicles equipped with 5.7-liter and 6.1-liter hemi v8 engines. The vehicles were being investigated for fuel vapor recovery system failure following refueling. The federal safety agency said there were 299 reports from consumers indicating that the fuel system allowed an overfill condition after refueling and that the engines may stall when the vehicle is stopped or traveling at low speeds. The problem was traced to the multifunction control valve fuel shutoff float in the 19-gallon tanks. The float can swell into a stuck open position, allowing an overfill condition. Chrysler and its supplier, stant, developed new fuel soak test requirements to address the condition and extended the warranty period, according to a friday posting by the federal safety agency. The agency oversees vehicle recalls in the u.s. "the condition that is causing the majority of stalling incidents in the subject vehicles occurs at a stop or low speed and allows the vehicle to be restarted immediately," said the federal safety agency in its summary of the closed investigation. "the condition represents a low risk to motor vehicle safety and is adequately addressed by chrysler's extended warranty."
Drove vehicle for about 30 minutes at 70f ambient. Turned off vehicle and was away from it for about 10 minutes. Restarted engine and it had little if any compression and made a bad metal banging sound when started. Engine destroyed. Dealership analysis revealed #3 intake valve seat fell out of head and destroyed #3 piston and cylinder requiring a new engine. Vehicle has 91,000 miles.
After filling the fuel tank to full and driving away from the station it will stall. Sometime right away from leaving the pump or shortly thereafter. Usually about the time it takes to get to the intersection near the gas station. If I am careful to not fill it past 3/4 full its ok. Although I have had issues with it restarting at 1/2 tank now.
Vehicle stalled shortly after filling fuel tank in december, 2013. Restarted immediately, but stalled again, and continued stalling for the next mile or so. Now, every time I get gasoline, I must use caution for the first few miles, as the car will stall at random times. I do not "top off" the tank when filling.
My dodge magnum r/t, 2005, periodically stalls for the first several miles after a fill-up. This was sporatic at first, but now happens with nearly every fill-up. Normally it will be a momentary event while under power, but if I am stopped and idling the engine will die. It will typically restart right away.
No accident involved, not sure what caused the problem but car stalls when gas tank is filled and pump automatically shuts off. Solution has been to manually pump gas til it get to the full line stop.
After filling tank of gas; engine quits leaving gas station and was almost rear-ended. This has happened the last 5 times we have filled with gas. Seems to run fine after 2-3 miles. Thank you.

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.
After filling my gas tank without topping off, my car stalls within the first 300 feet of the gas station and is then hard to start. Once it's restarted, for the next 40-60 miles of driving, my car hesitates and will often stall at any low speeds or stops unless I drop it into neutral and rev it up. 60-100 miles after a full tank, the car will buck when coming out of a turn and then stall if I let off the gas.
When car has just been filled up it begins to stall. It will stall pulling out of the gas station. Then it will stall again while driving on the way back to the house turning corners, at stop lights or just driving straight. It does not make any loud noises it just cuts off while driving. It only seems to happen the first day or two after filling up. (I do not drive very far) then it drives normal until the next time the car gets filled up. Then the car will stalls again.
Running low on gas on january 15th I stopped at a gas station to refuel. I purchased 91 octane, placed the nozzle in the gas tank tube and began to refuel. Once the pump clicked I replaced the gas nozzle, tightened the gas cap, started the car and drove off. Less than two minutes later as I was approaching a stop light the engine shuts off and the oil light comes on. I quickly placed the gear in park, and attempted to restart the engine. After trying three times it finally turns over and I am able to drive off. One minute later it shuts off again as I am beginning to make a right turn into a driveway. Same scenario as before. Now every time I fill the tank to the point where the gas nozzle clicks the engine will shut off multiple times within the first 10 miles of driving.
Soon after filling the gas tank of my car it started to stall at very slow speeds. The car cut off completely and the oil light came on. The car started up as soon as I tried to turn it on again. After doing that stalling multiple times, I took it to the dealer and they replaced the egr value. After filling the gas tank again the car began to stall again. When I took it to the dealer a second time they said they would need to replace the gas tank. While the 2006 dodge cars with the same features have been given a lifetime warranty on the gas tank, I was told there is no warranty on my car for this issue on my 2005 dodge magnum.
Filled car with gas. Pulled away from station and car stalled multiple times at stops and low speed turns. No warning, no lights, no sound, no pm, just dead. Restart easy. Stalled about 5 times in 2 miles then behaved. Has happened many times after fill-up now I idle and wait for short time and hope for the best. Have even shortfill tank before auto click. One scary incident after short fill, car stalled upon entering highway. Stalled causing power stirring issue making it very difficult to pull to side of road. . Car behind followed and almost rear ended my car. Must find fix!
After filling the fuel tank, several times the engine sputtered and / or died, at low speed and at a stop.
Filled tank and car stall while in the street!
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.
Car stalls shortly after filling up.
For the last 2 fill-ups, my magnum has begun to exhibit the rough running and stalling after the fill-up that has been reported by numerous other owners of chrysler products.
Just bought the car, filled up the fuel tank at gas station and went for a drive. At the first stop light I came to the car stalled while slowing down to stop coasted to a stop and restarted the engine after a few attempts, resumed driving and it was driving ok got onto the on-ramp to drive on the highway and it stalled again while merging into traffic same problem occurred several times until the fuel level went down after driving.
Bought a used 2005 dodge magnum 5.7l rt in 2011. I've had multiple stalling issues with the vehicle. Likes to stall right after filling up the gas tank. Also stalls with gas tank at nearly empty. Can sometimes stall when making right/left turns or u-turns at intersections. I've learned to only fill up to half a tank, but issues still occur. The vehicle always stalls when going up a ramp in a multiple story parking garage. When going up the ramp, just as the car begins to get level with the floor at the top of the ramp, the vehicle stalls just about every time. Seems like a gas tank fuel problem. I understand that a safety feature built into the vehicle turns the engine off in the event of fuel detection in an area of the gas tank where no gas should be. Most likely in case of an accident leading to roll over of the vehicle. This appears to be malfunctioning. Possible flaw in the design. Chrysler/dodge needs to address this immediately before someone gets killed because their vehicle stalled while making a simple u-turn or while driving high speeds on a highway. Public safety should supersede any cost concerns the company may have to pay to fix this problem.
Recently purchased an 2005 magnum r/t took it to fill up for the first time. Filled up and noticed gas was spitting out of the breather tube and down into the filler 6 times approximately, drove out of the gas station and the car stalled. Restarted and went along. Stalled 5 more times on my 2 mile drive home. Started the car in the driveway and it stalled 3 more times. Started researching on line and found multiple forums about this issue. Wanted to submit my issue to others, being day 4 owning this car/ issue.
After filling up my 2005 dodge magnum the car stalls multiple times as I drive home. The stalls seem to happen at lower speeds such as turning in an intersection or when coming to stop at a light. The car is hard to start and leaves me stalled in traffic until it starts again. At higher speeds the car jerks and bucks as the engine dies and restarts. While on the freeway it is hard to maintain speed when this is happening. Research indicates it is a common problem that will require replacing the whole fuel tank. Please issue a recall for this dangerous issue. To get a better picture of how big this problem, ask dodge to provide sales numbers for replacement gas tanks sold.
I have had at least 3 of the issues of the complaints I am seeing here and wondering why there has been no recalls issued: 1) car would not accelerate or it would die after filling up the gas tank. Went on line and found others having similar problem. Fix: do not fill your gas tank up all the way and also do not let it get too close to empty. 2) neither the back hatch or the hood will stay up on their own. Have been hit in the head with the back hatch numerous times - sometimes it works. 3) could not get car out of park. Again went on line and even found a youtube video explaning how to remove the pink thingy from the gear counsel and all will be ok. Saved hundreds of dollars but now no safety due to the fact that car can be turned off in all gears.
