If i am able to get to the highway and up to speed before stalling out the engine sputters and the rpms…

This time we took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and said nothing about the possibility that it could be related to the fuel tank valve. The independent mechanic believes it is the fuel tank valve and recommended we contact dodge because the car should be included in the tsb…

Then the car revved back to life and this cause the rpm's to shoot up jolting the vehicle forward. Immediately after it died yet again however the…
