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.
