Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“This has happened two times since owning the car only 2 weeks. Both times when we filled up at a gas station, the car would stall several times immediately after leaving the gas station and getting up to speed or at speed. The car would stop in the middle of traffic, and would always restart when put in park, but this causes a safety situation if we are turning, entering a freeway, etc.”
NHTSA complaint #10957266, filed 2017-02, 123,000 miles“Whenever I fill up my 2006 Dodge Magnum 5.7 rt, it dies without notice afterwards. It usually takes about 10 miles to work out all of the dieing and stalling before it works normally. This happens everytime the gas tank is filled to the top. I was almost in an accident when this happened, so I'm very paranoid after getting gas now, this should be fixed by Dodge.”
NHTSA complaint #10564365, filed 2014-02, 80,000 miles“After filling my car and driving on the 710 freeway, while getting on the freeway the car just stalled. The steering got hard to turn as the vehicle was stalled. I managed to cruise to the side of the road and got the vehicle to start again. While driving it did it 2 more times until my gas started to go down. This happens almost every time I fill up the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10563635, filed 2014-02, 56,000 miles“My Dodge Magnum stalls after filling up the fuel tank. It happens shortly after filling up and will continue until the car has been driven about 30 miles. It will stall regardless of what speed I am driving. It will restart after a couple tries.”
NHTSA complaint #11208777, filed 2019-05, 130,000 miles“Engine stalls every time fuel tank is filled. Typically occurs at an idle immediately after fillup. Leaves me stranded in traffic and has caused several near miss accidents due to stalling at low speed, or acceleration from a low speed. Has stalled while pulling out into traffic, causing people to swerve out of my way almost causing several collisions.”
