| After refueling vehicle to a full tank of gas, the vehicle will stall when driving. in some cases multiple times. there is no warning prior to the stall and the timing of the incident seems random - sometimes right away after fill-up, sometimes a few miles down the road. only occurs at full tank condition but does occur every time the tank is filled. when the vehicle stalls it is difficult to start back up - power steering and power brakes are lost during this time. once the vehicle has traveled 10-15 miles the problem seems to go away - until filling the gas tank again. it seems like an emissions systems type of problem - maybe part of the fuel tank venting system. there are other reports of this problem with similar type of vehicles (chrysler 300, dodge charger) on the internet. | |||

| V8 engine repeatedly and unpredictably stalls and loses power during driving and turning situations. recovers after 1-2 seconds in some instances, stalls completely and is difficult to restart in others. produces extremely hazardous and dangerous situations in traffic and at intersections. local dodge dealer (hall dodge) has had car for six weeks+ and has failed to correctly diagnose & repair. this appears to be a common very dangerous problem involves fuel tank valve, as it is more prevalent (see many online posts of identical symptoms since 2005 and before) after full fuel fill and persists until unrestricted fuel appears to have been used to sufficient degree. dealer has replaced unlikely items such as sunroof module and the abs module in futile and inept attempts to skirt the real issue. someone is going to die in one of these cars when it stalls --chrysler dodge is 100% knowledgeable of this defect in many of their cars, and will not acknowledge or make any attempt to correct it. we implore nhtsa to intervene imemediately! posted 27 feb 2013. | |||

| 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 | |||

| 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 | |||
