Sudden engine stall mostly few miles after fuel charge. This problems were happened from several months ago, and becoming more frequent almost every fuel charge. When stall engine, it's difficult restart few minutes. One case sudden stall at driving makes me panic loosing power assist of steering and brake, almost hit side walk at my neighborhood. Asked dealership to see and made some repair for fuel injection, egr valve. But problem was not fixed. It's very dangerous.
Whenever I fill my gas tank, the vehicle will stall within one or two blocks from gas pumps. It can happen at 20 miles an hour or less. It can happen entering a highway at 50 miles per hour. The car will start right up and will normally run fine after stalling. On one or two occasions it stalled twice after a fill up. Lately it happens after each fill up regardless of gas station or brand of gas.
Over the course of the past six months, my engine has missed and stalled after refueling. This occurs after each refueling and is a safety concern as there is no warning then the stall may occur. I've now incurred a very large expense of $2,340 to repair the problem. This is quite obviously a problem that Chrysler is aware of and I understand the matter is being investigated. I hope that car owners such as me will be reimbursed for the expense of this costly repair.
Vehicle stalled two times after filling gas tank. Difficult to restart--had to try 3-4 times to get the car to restart. Each stalling incident occurred as I came to a stop.
2006 Dodge Magnum srt 6.1 has stalled several times. It is hard to restart after it stalls. It has been to dealership once for the problem, however it continues to occur at random.

I brought a 2006 Dodge Magnum in March of 2007 with 19,230 miles. The engine is now at 50,000 miles and the engine is no good. The Dodge company can't tell even tell me the problem with the engine.
About a week ago I noticed a ticking/tapping noise coming from the engine. I took it to Firestone not knowing if it was something serious. After inspecting the vehicle he states that it sounded like a lifter but he was not sure, so I took it to the dealership. Since my check engine light was not on there were no codes for them to look up. So I was quoted this ridiculous price to have my engine looked at. I declined and took the vehicle to another local mechanic who verified that it was a lifter. The vehicle only 41,000 miles on it and the warranty expired at 36,000 miles.
The same day I bought the vehicle the oil light was on, next day off, complain to the dealer...it went to the shop...they couldn't find anything...next day light back on..they sent it to the shop again.....next day guess what, yes light back on..they don't have a clue....this is crazy.....someone messed up.....need to be corrected.....not asking for blood, just fix my car....will this kill my family? who the heck knows!!!! it's a manufacturer problem that needs attention.
