Check engine light came on while driving, car feels like it is going to stall when slowing down/stopped, car shudders, gas mileage is down, has a p0305 code for misfire in cylinder 5, replaced spark plugs, still misfiring, compression test is fine, has a loud ticking/tapping noise when stopped/idling.
We have had this vehicle for 2 years. It had a ticking sound from the day we bought it. The dealer said it was our cams and rockers which they repaired. Shortly after we started getting a p0304 code. . . Told not to worry about it. Code went away then we get the code agin so we replace all 6 spark plugs with mopar plugs and mopar coils. . Had to replace the starter as well. Code came back and has a rough idle. . . Engine runs great but idle is bad. Low compression on 4th cylinder and now looking at a cracked head. Dodge has a problem with these pentastar engines. . . A lot more than 7500. A recall needs to happen with these engines. I have a 2003 pontiac montana that runs great and I have not anywhere near the problems. Dodge needs to repair my van!!!!.
