Consumer Description

THIS VEHICLE HAS EXTREME SURGES IN THE MOTOR, ON START UP IF A/C UNIT IS TURNED ON CAR MAY STALL, ALSO "GRINDING" NOISE FROM ENGINE ON OVER NITE START UPS. SURGE IN ENGINE DURING THE WINTER SEASON IS ALSO A PROBLEM, SNOW OR ICE COVERED ROAD ARE BAD ENOUGH, LET ALONE THE VEHICLE DECIEDS TO SURGE, WHEN THIS HAPPENS I WOULD PUT THE GEAR SELECTOR TO NEUTRAL. DODGE DEALER HAS INFORMED ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO KEEP THE CAR OVERNIGHT, BUT THAT IS NOT GOOD FOR ME BECAUSE I NEED MY CAR. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER OF NOISES THAT DODGE HAS DEEMED ACCEPTIABLE.*AK
