Thanks melannben, after reading your post and going thru a couple of hurdles I was able to get my fuel tank replaced under warranty! X53 Lifetime Repair/Replacement

 

Glad you could get it done. I am on a waiting list at 2 dealerships awaiting a tank. Will be almost a year. How long did the replacement take and did you end up paying for anything like a fuel filter etc? (By the way, San Francisco bay area)

 

Apparently there is a problem with a sensor that is part of the gas tank. Chrysler replaced my gas tank free. No problems since.

 

Waited a couple months after I called Chrysler to verify that tank was backordered. Only took them a couple hours to do the replacement. Probably because they had replaced 15 before mine. No charge for the replacement.

 

When I crank up my Magnum Rt and shift in to drive if I don't let it roll forward before I press on the car pedal, it "shudders" like its going to cut off. If I continue to push on the gas pedal more it loses power and shuts down. Sometimes the car just shudders and cuts off while in traffic or while driving in higher speeds ( very dangerous situation.) I had the car serviced by the dealership two years ago for the same problem and after almost $5000 worth of repairs (related issues according to them) the said the power steering cassette was low on fluids and this was the main culprit. However the problem just started again this week. The codes its giving is ESP BAS however a local mechanic seems to believe its the throttle body. This afternoon my car did the same (cut off while pulling out of my parking space at work) but didn't want to start. Could the Throttle body cause this or does anyone else have this problem? Any suggestions? BTW my gas tank was not full with gas during any of these instances. Please help! Thanks.

 

i just purchased my 2005 dodge magnum rt jan 2 2015, and noticed after filling it up it started acting odd can you please check my vin 2D4GV58275H653028 for the warranty on this issue

 

suzyqtara2 unfortunately it did not show you had the X53 Recall (Gas Tank Replacement) but I would still have a dealership run the VIN because mine was not in the system at the time also. Based on your description it sure sounds like this may be the problem. I would also contact DODGECARES through this forum as I did. It's going to be a bit of an uphill battle but hang in there, call customer service, write letters to Dodge, make calls etc....(the squeaky wheels gets the oil)....



VIN: 2D4GV58275H653028

What exactly is happening after you fill up the gas tank, suzyqtara2?

 

I would say very jumpy - it's hard to explain because I just bought the magnum Jan 2 2016 and noticed it on the drive home 235 miles one way - I randomly feel it splurging like its wanting to die every time I fill up - I'm sorry I do not know the correct explanation of mechanical conversation
