Engine bogged down and check engine light flashed. 5 star dealer replated ignition coil plugs and wires to the tune of $600. On the way home, similar rough running, flashing engine light, back firing, now dealer says it is computer short. Other problems with transmission and fuel system took at least three trips to service and many charges to get fixed. The chrystler 7/70 warranty is not worth much to this dissatisfied customer.
