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. *TR

SUSPENSION
1. DANGEROUS! ENTIRE CAR SHAKES WHEN TRAVELING AT 40-80+ MPH. THE SHAKE SHOWS UP IN THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH MAKES THE CAR UNSAFE TO HANDLE AT SPEEDS OF 65MPH. IT IS SIMILAR TO THE SHAKE WHEN YOU BRAKE AND THE ROTORS ARE WARPED ONLY THIS SHAKE IS NOT PRESENT WHEN BRAKING, ONLY UNDER ACCELERATION AND USUALLY ONLY WHEN YOU GO OVER 40MPH. IT GETS SO BAD THAT PEOPLE IN THE CAR ALWAYS ASK WHAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR, ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE ONLY HAD IT 11 MONTHS. THE PROBLEM IS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE TIE RODS WERE REPLACED AS AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. DIDN'T WORK. THE WHEELS WERE BALANCED ON 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS AND THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. THE RIMS FROM ANOTHER SRT8 MAGNUM WERE PUT ON MY CAR TO SEE IF THE RIMS WERE THE PROBLEM AND THE CAR STILL SHOOK. (4 REPAIR ATTEMPTS, NOT YET FIXED) 2. BRAKE ROTORS (ALL 4) WORN OUT AT 17,000 MILES (DEALER WILL REPLACE FOR FREE AFTER A FIGHT WITH THE DEALERSHIP) 3. BRAKE PADS (ALL 4) WORN OUT AT 17,000 MILES (DEALER WILL NOT REPLACE FOR FREE, WANT $600 FOR PADS, NOT FAIR SINCE THE DEFECTIVE ROTORS MIGHT HAVE PLAYED A PART IN WEARING OUT MY BRAKE PADS TOO) 4. CAR NEARLY STALLS OUT WHEN SHIFTING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEAR ON WIDE OPEN THROTTLE. (CAN BE DANGEROUS IF YOU EXPECT THE CAR TO GO AND IT STUTTERS. ALMOST APPEARS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL, LIKE IT'S STARVED FOR GAS). *TR
