Vehicle dodge magnum r/t 5.7l 2005 engine stalls unexpectedly when moving slow speed/low RPM, loses power steering and brakes. Does happen occasionally may go months without an incident. Vehicle start normally right after. Extremely dangerous especially when making left turn over oncoming traffic lanes and crossing lanes. Had two incidents yesterday as described. This issue need to be investigated and recalled for complete repair. Called chrysler customer service who were unwilling to assist with an issue but admit warranty extension to the fuel tank's multifunction control valve fuel shutoff float in the 19-gallon tanks. I found the federal safety agency comment 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." I disagree with the federal safety agency comments whether this is "low risk to motor vehicle safety". Try to be stalled on the lane when 20 ton dump truck is approaching 50-60 miles per hour.

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 had a starter failure on my car, and was replacing starter myself, since I do most of my repairs, & to remove starter, the steering shaft has to removed for clearance. After taking the steering shaft from the steering box and examining it, I found rusted out section on the collapsing joint of the shaaft. It is completely rusted out half the diameter of the shaft. I went auto salvage yard & put another shaft on car. I live in pa, padot uses liquid deicing spray on highways & it has penetrated this part. If it had gone much longer, it would have broken completely off, with loss of steering and possibly crash. This only has 60,000+ miles. I didn't go to dealer for replacemet, but saved the defective part. I think there should be recall to check other vehicles for this before someone get in trouble.

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.
