Consumer Description

WHEN ENGINE IS COLD ENGINE DIES WHEN YOU COME TO A STOP THIS PICKUP WAS TAKEN TO COLIESUM MOTORS ON TWICE WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, THE FIRST TIME THEY INFORMED ME THIS WAS NORMAL FOR A DIESEL THIS IS THE 4TH DODGE DIESEL I HAVE OWNED NONE OF THE OTHERS HAD THIS DEFECT. THE SECOND TIME I RETURNED THE VEHICLE THEY SET THE IDLE UP TO 900 RPM THIS WOULD PUSH THE VEHICLE THRU STOP SIGNS AND I HAD TO RIDE THE BRAKES TO KEEP IT UNDER 30 MPH.EVERY TIME I RETURN THIS VEHICLE TO COLIESUM MOTORS THEY CHARGE ME FOR SOME REPAIR THAT DOES NOTHING TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT.THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT.I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP WITH THIS SITUATION. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER NUMEROUS TIMES BUT THEY ARE NO HELP.*AK
