2006 Dodge Magnum fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 5: complaints 41 to 70 of 112, newest first, as owners wrote them.
After filling up the car with fuel it would stall when driving it. On 11/23/12 I took the car to my local dealer,santa maria chrysler-jeep-dodge. They informed me the fuel tank would need to be replaced because the vent valve on fuel tank was faulty. I paid for the repairs at cost of $1607.25 on 11/28/12. I recently became aware of a recall for this problem but they say my VIN# does not qualify. The problem was a scary situation. I could have been seriously hurt if the car stalled in traffic. Apparently I am not the only one who experienced this problem.
Filled tank with fuel car stalled after stating and sitting at light . This is not the first time it has happened the last three times I have filled up.
After filling up with gas, upon driving the car will die. At approximately 5mph the car will suddenly die and will not respond. Car will not start until after a few minutes of sitting. No cel lights or codes thrown.
After filing the fuel tank, the engine will sputter and stall. When it first began to happen to me, it seemed like I was getting bad gas. Now I know that this occurs primarily after I make a left turn and is due to a part that is inside the fuel tank. The part fails and the result is this problem with the engine stalling. This is a known problem with older magnums, chargers, and chrysler 300's. It is dangerous!! This has happened to be on interstate 95 and just when I got into the travel lane the engine died. I think the left turn I made was a few mile before I got to the entrance ramp and it caught me off-guard. I was lucky to be able to pull over and get onto the shoulder. This is a design failure and is not normal wear & tear. All of the older cars mentioned here can be affected. I assume you have received prior complains about this issue. Dodge is no help, but should be required to fix this problem. Thanks.
Car dies after fill up always.
The vehicle begin to stall or shut-off after filling tank up, if it did not shut-off the car, it (car) would shutter for a couple of miles before car ran normal.
2nd submission - I did not get a confirmation of my first one and I have more information. My 2006 dodge magnum with the 5.7l hemi has had and continues to have the issues outlined in the federal safety agency investigation pe 13016. It stalls out after fueling. It has now starting doing it when the weather gets much warmer during the day. I have contacted chrysler via e-mail and was told my vehicle was not covered by the extension of the warranty on the gas tank and associated parts. I have contacted billion here in sioux falls and also papik in luverne mn and neither service department has heard of this issue, the investigation, or the fix. At thing point I may just have my local shop that I use fix it as it has become very nerve racking to drive. I should not have to pay out of pocket for something the company has committed to fix. I did download a copy of the letter from the federal safety agency website that was linked to the investigation page. I never received a copy of this letter from chrysler which is probably because I am the second owner of this car. I would appreciate any help you can provide.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge magnum. The contact stated that when the fuel tank was filled, the vehicle would stall. The failure was experienced numerous times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed which was unable to locate a failure code however, the dealer replaced the throttle body but the failure was not corrected. The engine continued to stall when the fuel tank was filled. There were no recalls for the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 2,000 and the current mileage was 118,000.
Just after filling my gas tank on this vehicle, I experienced stalling 3 times, including in an intersection. Had the vehicle towed to the dealer. After inspection, they reported that it was the rollover valve in the fuel tank. I alerted them to the chrysler extended warranty, they reported that my VIN is not covered as part of this warranty. I feel this is unacceptable on the part of chrysler as it is the exact problem that is described in the warranty. This needs to be extended to all vehicles as it is a huge safety issue as stalling in an intersection is highly dangerous.
I have been experiencing a safety hazard with my 2006 dodge magnum rt for several months. When the vehicle is filled up with gas it will stall out when driving down the road. This happens regardless of what speed you are going and occurs every time the car is filled up. I have done extensive research and found that I am not alone with this issue and that the warranty was extended for certain VIN codes through chrysler. Unfortunately my VIN was not a part of that warranty extension even though I am experiencing the exact issue that this covers. There have been several times where the car has stalled while driving in traffic which could have resulted in a major accident, luckily I was able to avoid any collisions. Maybe next time I won't be so lucky though...
When I fill my car with gas my engine will repeatedly stall anywhere from a minute or less to as long as 5 to 15 minutes upon leaving the station. Its very much like the pe13-016 investigation. In fact I've brought my car to the dealer and they have confirmed that my the gas tank is faulty. I did my research and uncovered your investigation and thought everything would be ok but it wasn't. Even though my car is a 2006 dodge magnum 5.7l v8 with a 19 gallon fuel tank both the dealer (larry miller dodge boise) and the chrysler customer assistance center are adamant that my gas tank does not have the extended lifetime warranty described in pe13-016. They insist my car does not have the faulty tank that was the subject of your investigation. I don't claim to understand how stalling in traffic is not considered a safety issue and worthy of a recall but all other things equal, how come my car does not qualify for the extended lifetime warranty when even my dealer is saying my car has the exact same symptoms, its the right model year and the right configuration. This is not a trivial thing. Would you want to see your spouse and children randomly stalled out in traffic. And like me, I have found several other reports from fellow chrysler lx series owners (magnum, charger & 300c) reporting that no, the car will not always start right back up. Very often we have to wrestle with it and suffer through multiple stalls and difficult starts before the problem clears itself. Please help.
Just filled the tank and was leaving the gas station and the car stalled at the stop sign. Car continued to stall for several minutes and was hard to start each time, seems to stall at both low and high speeds. It's very dangerous for the car to just stall in mid traffic. This has happened numerous times since then until I realized it only happens when the gas tank is full. Took it to dealer today and they confirmed it is due to the fuel tank rollover valve sticking and blocking a vent. Only solution is to replace the entire gas tank. Car stalled once today on the way to the dealer service center (they wanted it with a full tank) and then three times on my way home after the completion of their analysis. It will continue to stall until the tank level goes down a gallon or so of fuel.
The car runs erratically or stalls after filling the gas tank all the way up. This only lasts for a few miles and then the car runs fine. I was told that this was a known issue and there was a tsb issued, but no recall. If I stop filling a few gallons before the tank is full, there are no problems. I was recently told that chrysler was extending the warranties on these tanks (pe13016), but was told by my dealer that the extended warranty does not apply to my car, but couldn't tell me why.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge magnum. The contact stated that while merging into traffic at 30 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. Additionally, the vehicle would sporadically stall when the fuel tank was filled to capacity. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to have a diagnostic performed, which located the failure at the computer central system. The computer was replaced however the failure was not corrected. The manufacturer advised the contact that the federal safety agency action number pe13016 (fuel system, gasoline) was not honored under warranty. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 80,000 and the current mileage was 102,000.
Had just filled fuel tank and vehicle stalled before getting out of gas station driveway. I was coming to a stop as exiting station and while braking (almost at a full stop), experienced a quick engine surge and then engine stalled. Luckily I was at a stop, shifted to park and restarted vehicle. The same thing happened less than a mile away as I was making a right turn, without power steering the vehicle was now stalled in the oncoming lane. I came to a full stop, shifted to park and restarted again. Luckily I was less than a mile from my office and just parked vehicle there. The same thing happened when I last filled my tank (approx 10 days ago), stalling several times before I could get out of the costco parking lot. On that occasion, I congested traffic for several minutes while waiting for the vehicle to restart and head home. It didn't occur again during the subsequent days, but today I fueled up again and got the exact same issue - so it's definitely something related to the fueling process. I've had the vehicle since it was brand new and this is a new issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge magnum with 71,173 miles. The contact stated when driving the vehicle at any speeds the vehicle will stall. The contact also stated that when filling up the vehicle that would also to cause the vehicle to stall. This failure has happened multiple times over the last year. The contact had contacted the dealer about this failure and was told that defect investigation pe13016 (fuel system, gasoline) will be recalled in the future. The vehicle had not been repaired. Bl updated 05/28/14*lj the consumer stated the dealer advised the vehicle was unsafe to drive. The vehicle was not repaired. Updated 05/30/2014
On multiple ocassions, during the re-fueling operation up to full level, the vehicle will stall out. No trouble codes are stored. After restart, and while driving away the vehicle may unexpectedly stall-out on one or more ocassions while stopped in gear, or at slow speed or while accelerating from a stop after the refueling has taken place. When the car stalls out while driving, the vehicles behind you do not know that there is a problem with the vehicle and near accidents have occurred. Additionally, if accelerating from a stop, cross traffic also does not know that there was a problem with your car, and near accidents have again almost occurred becuase you have not cleared out of the intersection at the rate/timing that the other driver would have reasonably expected. These unexpected stalls may occur until such time that the car has burned off some fuel by either time or by higher speeds, but even at higher speeds you can still have some hesitation and "surging". Situation occurs after re-fueling up to full level only, and without regard to fuel octane level, whether cold or hot outside temperature or engine condition.
While waiting at a traffic stop the vehicle stalled. Cranked it twice and got it started. On the next light it stalled again when slowing. The gas was at 3/4 full. Next time, my wife and kids were on the freeway when the car stalled when slowing to stop at an exit. Deemed unsafe but realized the it happened after gas was filled or closer to full. Happened a couple more times with the last being on 3/5/14.
After filling the car with gas and pulling onto the state highway the car motor stopped running. It started back up and got up to around 45 MPH then the motor stopped running again. Again the car started back up and got up to around 25 MPH and the motor stopped running. Then it started back up, bucked about 15-20 times and got me home. Next day the car ran fine. Five days later, filled the cars gas tank up again and pulled into heavy traffic and the motor stopped running, was almost hit by a dump truck. Again the car started back up got up to around 35 MPH and the motor stopped running. This has now been happening after every refill. I don't top off the tank.
I filled the tank with gas, started to exit the station and the engine stalled. The out of fuel light came on even though it was full and it continued to stall and sputter. It has now happened three times since this first event and it is my understanding that this is a problem with this engine type.
Sudden engine stall mostly few miles after fuel charge. This problems were happened from several months ago, and becoming more frequent almost every fuel charge. When stall engine, it's difficult restart few minutes. One case sudden stall at driving makes me panic loosing power assist of steering and brake, almost hit side walk at my neighborhood. Asked dealership to see and made some repair for fuel injection, egr valve. But problem was not fixed. It's very dangerous.
Whenever I fill my gas tank, the vehicle will stall within one or two blocks from gas pumps. It can happen at 20 miles an hour or less. It can happen entering a highway at 50 miles per hour. The car will start right up and will normally run fine after stalling. On one or two occasions it stalled twice after a fill up. Lately it happens after each fill up regardless of gas station or brand of gas.
After filling up my fuel tank and driving approximately 1/2 mile, the engine died. Restarted engine and it died again. After the third restart it continued to run. After having this occur approximately 12-15 times over the next 6 months, I discovered that if I fill it no more than14 gallons maximum, the problem will not occur. The problem is exactly what was reported in pe13016, however I have had the engine die at both low speeds and high speeds (50-65 MPH).
Whenever I fill up my 2006 dodge magnum 5.7 rt, it dies without notice afterwards. It usually takes about 10 miles to work out all of the dieing and stalling before it works normally. This happens everytime the gas tank is filled to the top. I was almost in an accident when this happened, so I'm very paranoid after getting gas now, this should be fixed by dodge.
After filling my car and driving on the 710 freeway, while getting on the freeway the car just stalled. The steering got hard to turn as the vehicle was stalled. I managed to cruise to the side of the road and got the vehicle to start again. While driving it did it 2 more times until my gas started to go down. This happens almost every time I fill up the vehicle.
The magnum continually stalls after fill up. We have made a concerted effort not to over fill the vehicle, but it continues to stall for a few miles after fill up. This has been an ongoing issue for almost 20,000 miles now. This is a major safety issue. Either my wife or I have almost been rear-ended due to stalling in traffic. The dealer says they can fix it for around $1400. This should be a safety recall, not something dumped on the owner. When you go to all the mopar blogs, this issue is common on all 06 - 07 chargers, magnums and chrysler 300s. They know it's the check valve, and know it was a poor design, but too bad consumer.
After fueling the car up it stalled out several times (in traffic) while driving. This has happened on two other occasions since then. Upon stopping and restarting, the vehicle engine surged and stalled again. It is my understanding this is due to a faulty check valve within the fuel tank.
The engine stalls after refueling,sometimes it will restart other times I have to sit like 15 minutes before it will restart.
Stalled while traveling 65mph, then refired several times. Leaving from a stoplight the magnum died in the middle of two intersecting highways, restarted, then died again. Issues started shortly after re-fueling with a full tank. Now, after a month, the stalling occurs as low as 1/4 of a tank of fuel. Will run fine for a couple days, then with no warning, stalling comes back and is currently on-going.
