Consumer Description

MY ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON ABOUT A YEAR AGO. THE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO 3 MECHANICS, REPLACED THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD 2 TIMES AND THE LIGHT KEEPS COMING BACK ON. THERE'S A RECALL ON VEHICLES FOR 2011, BUT NOT FOR 2009. PER ALEX AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP, THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG.
