2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 10/17/2005

I have a 2003 Durango, for the past several weeks, the truck will not start in the morning, you are forced to hold you foot on the gas until the truck is warmed up. When driving, when you come to a stop the idle of the truck drops so low, feels like the truck is going to stall, then it caught itself at the last moment. Truck has been back to the dealer no less then 9 times for this problem. They have not been able to duplicate the problem. The truck just went out of warranty, so I sure next time I bring it back, they will find what the problem is. I will never purchase another Dodge again!.
