Let someone else deal with those headaches.

2005 Dodge Magnum rt, 5.7 hemi engine. Car stalls single or multiple times without warning, sometimes for several miles, after refueling. Stalling without warning occurs while car is moving or turning. Condition appears more pronounced at lower temperatures and when engine has not yet reached operating temperature. No codes set during episodes. Episodes unexpected, without warning, intermittent, and dangerous in traffic. Cause appears to be fuel tank control valve failure in fuel tank assembly leading to raw fuel contamination of purge canister. Liquid fuel appears to be entering evaporative emissions control system (on-board vapor recovery system) with fuel entering engine upon activation of purge solenoid, resulting in rich condition leading to stalling.

Magnum

  • 85,000 miles
The contact owns a 2005 Dodge Magnum. The contact stated that he was unable to fuel the vehicle to its capacity or the vehicle would intermittently stall while driving. The dealer informed the contact that the vent valve failed and advised him to replace the fuel tank. The manufacturer was aware of the failure, but did not offer any assistance since there were no recalls associated with this failure. The failure mileage was 85,000 and the current mileage was 92,000. The VIN was unavailable.

Magnum 8-cyl

  • 100,000 miles
2005 Dodge Magnum R/T has developed a huge fuel leak behind the tank at the junction of the fuel filler tube; evidently the hot plastic seal around the filler tube is failing and is going to cost me $1100 to fix. I have never had a fuel tank fail and am %&:?# ticked off. I feel that I should not have to pay for a new fuel tank after only 100,000 miles. I have a Buick with well over 532,000 miles with not a single fuel tank issue. To me this a factory defect that nobody has picked up on.
