I started having problems with my 2006 magnum srt8 this past winter. with absolutely no warning while driving approximately 10 mph in drive, the engine cutoff and lost all power completely. i also lost all power steering and power brakes. thank goodness i was on a back road. all of the warning lights flashed on and off and then the check engine light came on. i had to put the car back in park, completely turn off the ignition and restart the car. it restarted without any problems. i drove a few more miles and the exact same thing happened. again, lucky i was on a back road!! i made it home and it stalled a 3rd time just as i pulled it into the garage. again, completely random while driving!!!! i took it to my local dealership who could not re-create the problem. i paid for the 60,000 mile service and did not have issues again until this past weekend when the same issue occurred 5 times in 2 days. again, completely random while driving!!. dangerous. these particular times occurred after filling the gas tank. i have read multiple similar complaints. something needs to be done before someone gets killed on the road. i will be taking my car into the dealership once again for diagnostics. i am an anesthesiologist and it doesn't take to one to realize that this is a serious safety issue that needs complete attention and a complete investigation. i love my car but i do not feel safe driving this vehicle. dodge and nhtsa, you cannot ignore this. please feel free to contact me as i will be contacting you. *tr
I had just filled the tank of my 2006 dodge magnum and drove about 20 miles into town. after making a quick stop at a local store i once again got into the car and began driving approx. 30 mph. as i began to make a left hand turn all power was lost to the car; steering became nearly impossible, gas pedal did not work and i basically was dead in the road. i turned the key to off, placed the car in park and then restarted the engine. it started right up, began to drive and at the next light needed to take another left; with cars coming at me from the other direction i went to take the left when once again the entire car lost power..no steering, no gas power, check oil light came on. i was lucky that the oncoming cars did not hit me and that i had allowed enough space incase the same thing occurred or there would have been a collision for sure. this has happened a few other times without any reason but we are always able to start it back up and then it may or may not happen again. been told it is the "roll over valve" failing $2 grand to fix!!!!! *tr
My dodge magnum for the last year " total of 4 times" has stalled only after refueling along with the steering wheel locking. there is no warning !. no engine light.! the car just shuts down . but this last time it almost caused a accident. too close to a disaster. i had my child in the car . i have read the complaints on this site. and i know i am not the only one this happens to. why is this not being addressed !!! i have never had this happen to me with any other car i have owned. i baby my car with servicing . i have 134,282 miles. i haven't had a issue with the car ever. until now. i believe it's a faulty part. this is a life threatening issue. as well as the psychical stress not knowing when my car fails me. why is this not a recall with the dodge magnum fuel system? which causes a vapor lock without warning. does someone have to loose a life to get this addressed ? *tr
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. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 dodge magnum. when the contact filled up the tank, he noticed that the top of the fuel tank was defective. the fuel tank top (the malfunction control valve) allowed fuel to leak into the purge line, which caused the engine to stall in traffic. central florida chrysler dodge jeep ram (8675 commodity cir, orlando, fl 32819, (321) 445-8017) stated that the vehicle met the criteria for technical service bulletin: 14-002-14 issued on april 22, 2014; however, the vin was not included and the contact was denied coverage for the repairs. the manufacturer stated that the coverage was excluded for the vehicle and referred the contact to nhtsa. the failure mileage was 40,000. *as *tr *pm consumer stated fuel tank failed 2nd time in june of 2019 at 112,000 miles and had a lifetime part warranty on it. consumer stated the 1st recall has been honored.*jb
I was driving when the vehicle failed to accelerate over 55 mph (sometimes it would not go over 35 mph). the failure resolved temporarily when the vehicle was restarted. when this does occur the electronic throttle position and traction control light both come on and the car revs up loudly until it is shut off. it is dangerous when you are going 65-70 mph on the highway and the car drops down to 35 mph. now that the weather is colder it happens more often including as soon as you start the car. there also is a lot of shaking while on the highway or while braking. i took the car to a dodge dealer and they said the suspension is extremely loose, which again is dangerous because the wheel could just fall off. i also have the problem that i cannot get the gear out of park at any point. i did find the recall and called chrysler, but they say my vin is not part of the recall (why not? it is the same problem). they notated it, but have not done anything to help me. i have to keep my car in neutral and put the emergency brake on anytime i park. there have been several occasions i cannot park in spots because even with the brake on the car still rolls. i have read several other complaints on here and see these are all common problems and may all have recalls and i feel my car should be included in those. *tr
