I have an 05 Dodge Magnum RT 5.7L Hemi, that intermittently stalls after filling the gas tank, and continues to do this until gas goes down a little. After dealing with/living with this problem for a while, I finally took my car to a shop and told them what was happening. They told me I needed to replace the right fuel pump module, which I did. This was 02/19/2016, at a cost of $287.94. The car had78,728 miles on the vehicle at this time. This did not fix the problem. I told the shop this, and I was told they couldn't find any other problem. After which I learned to live with it by not filling the tank up all they way. Recently I was not paying close enough attention when putting gas in, because I was washing my windshield. The car filled up until the pump clicked off. Upon leaving the gas station in morning rush hour traffic, my car immediately stalled. I was nearly rear ended. it took about 10 to 15 seconds to restart it. I was able to make the next green light to merge onto freeway, so I didn't need to slow down. (I should mention that the stalls only occur at slow speeds and stops, after the car has been filled with gas.) I had to slow way down to merge, and my car again stalled. I finally go it to start again only to have this happen 6 more times in stop and go traffic in 1 mile! Even though I was able to get to the right shoulder of the freeway until I could turn off, I caused major traffic delays. After telling a a co-worker about this, he told me he has the exact same car, which had the exact same problem. He then informed me there was an lifetime warranty to fix this problem, and his was fixed under this warranty a couple of months ago. I have found information regarding this warranty on-line, but nothing comes up when I enter my vin, even though it is the exact same year, make, and model of all the other cars that were fixed. I keep my car in top shape. It has no other issues than this...and I have been dealing with it since 2015!

NHTSA ID 11600179 · filed Jul 8, 2024

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.

I have attempted to contact my local dealership several times to replace the airbags on this recall. They claimed months ago, stated “It’s on back order” and took my info claiming they’d contact me when the parts are in. They never contacted me. I keep attempting to make appointments with Lithia Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram Fiat of Tri-Cities 7171 W. Canal Dr, Kennewick WA Recalls aren’t handled by a live person, just an automated message stating “we’ll get back to you soon” They don’t. I’ve been trying to get this replaced for a year. I would lien someone to contact Dodge or this dealership and ask them to stop hiding from mandatory recalls.

The vehicle stalled during normal use traveling about 35 miles an hour right after an intersection. MY husband was able to safely make it off the road as we live in a small town he did this by feathering the accelerator pedal. He is a mechanic so he was able to get it home by lightly tapping the pedal. If he pressed the pedal too hard the car stalled without warning so he lightly tapped on it and made it 2 blocks to our home where it has set in the driveway ever since. We spent over $1000 replacing parts such as the throttle body and the fuel pump and sending unit, egr, pcv, crankshaft sensor, plugs,injectors, intake seals, air intake temperature sensor and throttle body which include the throttle position sensor. Before we went for the cam sensor I decided to look up the issue and found so many with the same problem as us. We are veterans on a semi fixed income with a 10 month old daughter and this is our only vehicle we live in a super hot place in northern Arizona and can not afford further repairs as every part seems to be quite expensive. I don't have the fear of it dying while transporting my daughter again as it won't even stay started since the first incident. Additionally there are no codes or dash indicator lights staying on. We will be contacting Dodge in Kingman Arizona today.

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.

ABOUT 2 MONTHS AFTER THE PURCHASE OF THE 2005 DODGE MAGNUM, THE SEATBELT LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE JEEP/DODGE/CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN CARTHAGE, MS WHERE THE CLOCK SPRING WAS REPLACED. ABOUT 10 MILES TRAVELING AFTER LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, THE SEATBELT LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND THE INCESSANT DINGING FINALLY QUIT. WE HAD THE CLOCK SPRING REPLACE AGAIN AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS AS WE WERE TRAVELING. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE IN FOR THE AIRBAG RECALL AND HAVE HAD THE AIRBAGS REPLACED UNDER RECALL AND NOW HAVE ANOTHER RECALL ON THE AIRBAGS. THE SEATBELT LIGHT HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO OUR ATTENTION, BUT WE CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPLACED AT OUR EXPENSE AGAIN. WE HAVE HAD IT CORRECTED ONE TIME AT OUR EXPENSE, BUT CANNOT DO THIS AGAIN. I FEEL IT IS INCUMBENT UPON DAILMER CHRYSLER TO RECALL THESE VEHICLES AND HAVE THIS PROBLEM REPAIRED AT THEIR EXPENSE AS THE EVERYDAY CUSTOMER CANNOT CONTINUE TO AFFORD TO PAY FOR A PROBLEM THAT SHOULD HAVE HAD A RECALL ISSUED YEARS AGO. THE SAME PROBLEM CONTINUES TO THIS DAY WITH NEWER VEHICLES THAN OURS. I WAS INVOLVED IN A REAR-END COLLISION ABOUT THREE YEARS AGO AT WHICH TIME OUR BODY SHOP REPLACED THE CLOCK SPRING AGAIN AND IT HAS COME ON AGAIN. I HAD MY BRAKES TO THE FLOOR, THE AIRBAGS DID NOT INFLATE, AND I REAR-ENDED AT ABOUT 25 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM AND NHTSA SHOULD RECALL THESE VEHICLES IMMEDIATELY.
