Consumer Description

Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and other exhaust components. When the vehicle is in a "Regeneration" cycle and the vehicle comes to a stop, it dies about 70% of the time. Causing traffic back ups and nearly a reared collision from another driver. This issue started at 112000 miles and does it 3-6 times daily. It's been in and out of the dealer (Young Chrysler Jeep Dodge and Ram Richard Lindema Shop# 385-332-3978 Cell# 801-589-8943) totaling 6 weeks and $22,000 in repair bills and its still not resolved. I see on diesel forums this is a known problem that Dodge doesn't know how to fix.
