TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE MAGNUM. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE ENGINE OVERHEATED WITHOUT WARNING AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHICH LOCATED THE FAILURE AT THE ENGINE COOLING MODULE. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION GEAR SHIFTER HAD ALSO FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,500.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VEHICLE STALLS AFTER GETTING FUEL AND ONLY WHEN FILLING UP THE TANK TO FULL, WE DON'T TOP OFF THE TANK AFTER THE FUEL SHUTS OFF. WE NOW HAVE TO GUESS WHEN TO STOP FILLING THE TANK WITH HOW MANY GALLONS TO ADD SO IT IS 1 GALLON OR SO BELOW FULL. THE CAR WILL STALL AFTER FILLING UP AND HAVE TO RE-START IF GOING AT SLOWER SPEED (5-15 MPH) VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO LEAVE A GAS STATION OR STOP LIGHT. IF AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THEN THE CAR WILL STILL TRY TO STALL AND JERKS AND SLOWS DOWN. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY FOUND AN OVERFLOW VALVE STICKS OPEN AND LET'S RAW FUEL DOWN A TUBE AND BASICALLY FLUIDS THE ENGINE. THE ONLY FIX IS TO REPLACE THE WHOLE GAS TANK $3,000 DOLLARS AFTER LABOR. *TR
