The engine in my 2006 dodge Magnum has begun stalling out after fueling precisely as described in NHTSA action number PE13016. The first time it happened I was in the middle of a U-turn at a busy intersection. The engine died and I lost power steering and power brakes. I was able to brute-force the steering wheel and narrowly avoided hopping the curb and hitting the light pole on the corner. This light pole might have just as easily been a pedestrian. I called my local Dodge dealer (Ontario Dodge, Ontario California) to explain the problem and arrange to bring the car in. I let them know that I was aware that this issue was addressed under NHTSA action number PE13016 and should be covered under the lifetime warranty extension. I was told by the service adviser that I am required to drop off my car and that it would be 7-10 days before they would look at it. I suggested that they put me on a list and I could bring my car in 7-10 days at a time when they were able to look at it. They were unwilling to do this. They're insisting that my car sit in their lot for 7-10 days before they will even look at it. This isn't a scheduling issue. I can go on their website today and schedule my car for any other service tomorrow. No, this is a punitive action. Clearly they don't want to do the repairs and they're hoping I'll just go away by making it unreasonably difficult; not to mention expensive considering that a rental car will now be required. Chrysler and their dealers are not acting in good faith with regards to their agreement with the NHTSA and PE13016. In my experience and opinion they're doing whatever they can to evade these repairs. I'm a little disappointed that a full recall wasn't ordered. The agreement the NHTSA made with Chrysler left them with a little too much wiggle room in my opinion.

I have owned this 2006 Dodge Magnum SE V6 2.7L from new, bought in April 2006, the problem I'm having is with the car stalling, without any notice, happening today when turning left at a stop light and starting uphill. I was able to restart the car after pulling to the right without power, coming to a stop, putting the car in park, and restarting. I made it back home, but the car has been cranking over and not starting when in my garage, this after filling up with gas. I've had this issue happen before from 2006 onward to today, only a few times a year, and changed out the fuel pump relay each time and thought that was the problem, but the car has never stalled while driving before now, only when sitting at a light or stop sign after filling up the tank. The car only has 73,000 miles now after 13 years, I always baby the car and it still looks new. Thanks for any help with this matter

Car stalls randomly when fuel tank is full or after fill up. May stall without warning when in motion or stationary. This is a known issue with this model and similar models. Cause is a faulty fuel tank.

- Manquin, VA, USA

The car stalls soon after refilling the fuel tank, the filling was stopped when the pump automatically shuts off. This is a safety concern because it has happened while driving straight on a street, and also while turning onto a highway. The car becomes difficult to maneuver due to the loss of power assist provided to the steering and brakes by the engine. This appears to be caused by a lack of fuel to the engine. The car has restarted, so far, after a few seconds sitting still in the traffic.

Hello, in the last 6 months, every time I put gas in, whether I fill it up or not, weather I top it off or not, the engine will run erratically, often stalling multiple times for no reason. It has stalled on the highway, at highway speed, at any other speeds, and going through turns, needless to say, with no engine I have no power steering. I have the strength to keep the car under control, but a less experienced or less strong driver may loose control, possibly with serious consequences. After the car sits for a few hours, it will usually run ok. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Dropped valve seat: After traveling about 800 miles from Massachusetts to North Carolina, without any indication of a problem, I got off the freeway and I stopped at a mcdonalds to use my cell phone and I turned off the car, after about 5 mins. I attempted to restart the car and it wouldn't start, then as the engaine turned over it began to make clunking sounds. I had the car towed to a near by Dodge dealer, where I was told that the engine failed, costing me $8,466.33 to replace the engine because it was out of warranty. The car is well maintained and I have all the service records showing that this failer shouldn't had happened. Chrysler needs to own the flaw in 2005-2007 hemi 5.7 engine and Chrysler needs to refund me the $8,465.33 that I had to spend to buy a new engine.

Vehicle began to just shut off when not in motion. Took the car to auto shop to be repaired. After spending more money than expected to fix what the mechanic thought was the problem, we still were having the same issue. Finally, wte received a recall notice on the gas tank. After waiting months for Chrysler to send the dealership a gas tank for our car, we finally brought the vehicle in to be repaired. Changed out the gas tank, dealership kept the car a few days to test it out, called us to pick up the car. On the way home, the vehicle kept killing. Took it back to the dealership and they they kept the car for almost two months trying to figure out the problem, but they were unsuccessful in diagnosing the problem. As of today the car is still shumtting off and nobody can figure out the problem. The car only has 45000 miles.
