What owners wrote
The car, after filling with gas, suddenly stalled while driving down a main road. I had to stop in the middle of the road, put the car in neutral, restart it, put the car in drive, wait 2 seconds or so for the transmission to re-engage, and then I could move again. A truck slammed into the back of the car after it came to it's jerky stop and the oncoming truck didn't realize a person would be stopped in front of him where there was no light or stop sign.
2005 dodge magnum se will randomly stall at stop.currently this year 2014 car is stalling at every stop or idle.it will also randomly shut off on the highway. I have had the throttle body cleaned then replaced along with various sensors and problem still persists. I have taken it to multiply shops and no fix.when the stall occurs no code will come up but I will get the lightening bolt light on dash come on but will go away once the car is off and then turned on.
