Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: 2002 dodge durango...when vehicle gets hot...mainly in summer driving conditions...it will go to a very low idle..almost to the point of stalling...have found out through vehicle repairman that the manifold heat sensor is too close to the actual manifold and thus it does its job...slows the engine idle down...in other words thinks the engine is hotter than it really is...there is a aftermarket kit..cost 300 dollars or so to correct this...chrysler corp will not repair this...it is a design defect and should be taken care of by chrysler...not by the vehicle owner...
