• 12/30/2023· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  The malfunction to report is after fueling the vehicle will stall out. There is the sign of the fuel sending unit and fuel pump cycling after the ignition is turned on. This only occurs after topping off the fuel. The safety of operation is the stalling may occur while driving as well as at sitting still. When driving and the vehicles stalls causes the steering wheel to stiffen and the must come to a complete stop, placed in park, turn off the ignition and wait for the possible reset. The problem has not been reviewed on my particular vehicle but has been reported by other 2005 Magnum owners. No other manufacturing process has inspected my vehicle. And there are no warning lights that come to indicate there is a problem.

  ORIGINAL OWNER OF 2005 DODGE MAGNUM R/T 5.7L. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME SINCE PURCHASE OF THE CAR THAT I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE LUG NUTS ON ALL 4 TIRES. THIS IS THE 2ND COMPLAINT FILED. I FILED A PREVIOUS COMPLAINT IN 2014. LUG NUTS SHOULD NOT BE DESIGNED WITH FANCY CHROME THAT SPINS ROUND AND ROUND AND REQUIRES SPECIAL SOCKET TO REMOVE IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION. NOT SURE HOW MANY OTHER CAR OWNERS HAVE EXPERIENCED MY SITUATION WITH LUG NUTS BUT THE DESIGN AND COST FOR REPLACEMENT IS CRIMINAL AND REQUIRES AN INVESTIGATION.

• 12/29/2015· FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

  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.

  THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON JUST AFTER PURCHASE AND UPON LOWERING THE TILT WHEEL AND DID SO AFTER EVERY SUPPOSED REPAIR. I HAD THIS IN FOR REPAIR 7 TIMES 5 OF WHICH WERE DONE AT WARRENSBURG CHRYSLER IN WARRENSBURG, MISSOURI. BY THE TIME THEY HAD TRIED 5 TIMES AND TORN MY DASH APART SCRATCHING ALL THE LOWER KICK PANELS AND LEAVING ME WITH A DASH THAT RATTLES THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND REFUSED TO RECTIFY THE ISSUE. I THEN CALLED THE DISTRICT REP AND WAS TOLD QUOTE: (WE AIN'T DOING [XXX] ABOUT IT!) AT THIS POINT I GAVE UP BUT DID CONTACT THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION AND NEVER RECEIVED A REPLY. SEEMS AS THOUGH CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE THIS RIGHT AS IT IS A FAULTY SQIB1 & 2 CABLE THAT IS THE ISSUE LEAVING THE AIRBAG INOPERABLE AND A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM TO TELL AN OWNER OF A VEHICLE WHAT I WAS TOLD SHOWS A TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY OR ANY PASSENGER ONBOARD INCLUDING CUSTOMERS THAT ARE OFTEN IN MY VEHICLE. NOTE THAT THE DATE I HAD TO SHOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS FORM IS AN APPROXIMATE AND THE DEALER WILL HAVE THE ACTUAL ATTEMPTED REPAIR DATES.

  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.

I FORTUNATELY HAD TOOLS IN THE BACK AND WAS ABLE TO DISASSEMBLE THE CENTER CONSOLE AND GET THE CAR MOVING AGAIN. I WAS TOLD BY FRIENDS THAT CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM, AND WAS FORWARDED A COPY OF CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39, WHICH DESCRIBES EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED TO ME. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, AND WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

  WE HAVE HAD THIS STALLING ISSUE FOR YEARS. WE ARE THE ONLY OWNER OF OUR 2005 DODGE MAGNUM WITH A HEMI. WE KNOW THIS CAR. I FILLED UP AT GAS STATION A COUPLE MONTHS AGO & RIGHT AFTER FILL UP PULLED INTO THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR DIED..TOOK A FEW TRIES TO RESTART THEN RESTARTED, AND THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME YOU FILL THE GAS TANK. I HAVE REPORTED THIS BEFORE AND TALKED WITH DODGE BUT OUR VIN NUMBER IS NOT COVERED. WHY IS DODGE NOT MAKING GOOD ON THE INVESTIGATION DONE BY THE NHTSA. WE HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM AND REQUIRE THE SAME EXACT FIX AND THEY STILL REFUSE TO COVER THE FAULTY TANK DESIGN. IT WILL COST OVER 2K TO GET THIS FIXED. WHY ARE SOME CARS COVERED AND OTHER CARS ARE NOT COVERED? WHY DO WE HAVE TO WAIT YEARS FOR THIS TO GET RESOLVED? *TR

  I HAVE A DODGE MAGNUM RT (IT'S NOW 7 MOS OLD WITH 4000 MILES). 3 MOS AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR, THE ENGINE STARTED STALLING INTERMITTENTLY WHEN I TRIED TO REVERSE OUT OF THE PARKING STALL. THEN WHEN I TRIED THE START THE ENGINE AGAIN, IT WOULD NOT START UNTIL I PRESSED ON THE GAS PEDAL. I BROUGHT IT IN THE DEALERSHIP THE FIRST TIME, THEY "CANNOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER'S CONCERN". BROUGHT IT IN THE SECOND TIME, THEY INSTALLED A CO-PILOT IN THE CAR TO MONITOR THE STALLING HOPING THAT THE COMPUTER WOULD TELL THEM SOMETHING. I TOOK THE CAR IN THE THIRD TIME FOR ANOTHER PROBLEM, AT THE SAME TIME THEY TOOK THE READING OFF THE CO-PILOT. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME THAT THE CO-PILOT SHOWS THAT THE ENGINE DID STALL, BUT THE SENSOR WAS SHOWING EVERYTHING WAS RUNNING WELL WITH THE CAR. THEY SUGGESTED TO REPLACE THE COMPUTER SENSOR THINKING THAT IT MIGHT BE DEFECTIVE THAT'S WHY IT IS NOT SHOWING ANYTHING. WEEKS LATER THEY CALLED AND SAID THEY FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM IN THE PACIFICA. THEY RE-INSTALL SOME SOFTWARE IN MY CAR AND THE ENGINE STALLING SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR. HOWEVER, THE REVERSING IS STILL NOT NORMAL. THE CAR SEEMS TO HAVE PROBLEM WITH REVERSING. WHEN REVERSING MOST CAR WILL MOVE WITHOUT HAVING TO PUSH ON THE GAS PEDAL. MY CAR WILL STOP AT A CERTAIN POINT, THEN WHEN I TRY TO PRESS ON THE PEDAL GENTLY AND SLOWLY, THE CAR WILL SUDDENLY REVERSE REALLY FAST. I ALMOST HIT SOMEONE AND ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE LAST WEEK BECAUSE OF THIS. I BROUGHT MY CAR IN THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THIS WEEK (8TH OR 10TH TIME IN 6 MOS) FOR THIS INCIDENT. OF COURSE, THEIR RESPONSE IS "CANNOT DUPLICATE CUSTOMER'S CONCERN". *JB

I THEN PROCEEDED TO THE EXPRESSWAY THINKING THAT MAYBE MY INJECTORS OR SOMETHING GOT CLOGGED DURING THE FILL UP SO I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE IF I WERE TO GET THE VEHICLE GOING FASTER MAKING MORE FUEL GO THRU THE FUEL SYSTEM AND INJECTORS THAT MAYBE WHATEVER IT WAS WOULD UNCLOG IT., THIS WAS DEFINITELY A BAD IDEA NOW EVEN THOUGH THE VEHICLE DID ACCELERATE UP TO 65 MPG IT THEN DECIDED TO STALL AGAIN CAUSING ME TO LOOSE MY POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE BERM AND RESTART IT LUCKILY NOT CAUSING ANY ACCIDENTS AND NURSED THE VEHICLE HOME HAVING IT STALL 6 MORE TIMES. I GOT HOME AND GOOGLED MY PROBLEM TO FIND THAT SIMILAR DODGE AND CHRYSLER VEHICLES WITH THE SAME YEARS AND MOTORS AND FUEL SYSTEM WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THESE CARS WERE THE 2006 CHARGERS AND ALSO THE CHRYSLER 300. IT SEEMS THAT THERE ALREADY SEEMS TO BE AN OPEN CASE (# PE13-016) FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM.
