Magnum 3.5L

Since I retired I have been traveling. When I fill up my car it always stalls out. If I'm in traffic and have to stop at a light won't start. I have to sit there for about 2 to 3 minutes, then it will start and by then the damn light is RED and I got to start all over again. LORD forbid if I'm on the high way and get off to get gas and get back in traffic. On Sunday June 28, 2015 visiting one of my daughters in Delaware, I left to go to a store to get gas about 10 miles from her house. It broke down on me and this time it wouldn't start at all. So I had to get it towed to her house, call someone I know that has a 2005 Dodge Magnum also and he told me that he had been having the same problems with his, and another friend that he knew was also having this same problem too. So why has there not been a recall on this problem? I'm sure somewhere around this world there have been complaints about this other than owners in Winston-Salem, N.C.

Magnum R/T 5.7L

NHTSB needs to force a recall, Chrysler needs to design a fix sahort of replacing the fuel tank which is very expensive.1
