| Description of the problem | Car/engine idles rough and shakes heavily at times at lights - this is a problem that chrysler doesn? T seem to care about. Gas mpg has also been poor. *ak i see that i am the fifth complaint in the database that i could find... The engine stalls after coming from highway speeds. Idle goes from 600 rpm and then suddenly drops below 400-300 rpm and then stalls completely. Must be put in park - and then restarted, regardless of where it occurs - this is a serious safety issue that has been overlooked too many times. Once they said they fixed it, by cleaning the throttle body - the next time they gave me the "can't duplicate concern" - the last time they told me they reprogrammed the computer. It has nothing to do with the a/c, radio, electrical (lighting), and defrost since it has happened many times when all of these are off. The dealers keep playing games and will not rectify this issue. |
