TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 DODGE DURANGO. WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN WITH WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE STALLED. HE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. A TECHNICIAN FROM THE DEALER CONCLUDED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY INCREASED THE LEVELS OF CARBON WHICH CAUSED LOW AIR FLOW AT IDLE. THE PCM WAS RESET. THE FAILURE RESURFACED, SO SHE CONTACTED THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE AIS WAS SLOW, SO THEY REPAIRED THE IDLE AND THE AIS CONTROL MOTOR. SHE BROUGHT THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER 5 WEEKS LATER. THE TECHNICIANS DISCOVERED THAT THE MINIMUM AIR STEERING WAS TOO LOW. THEY ADJUSTED THE SIR SETTING AND REPLACED THE IDLE ARM MOTOR. HOWEVER AT RELATIVELY LOW SPEEDS THE VEHICLE WOULD CONTINUE TO STALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 19716. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 48000.
