So when I start my day and leave for work the truck takes a sec. Or two to start and the first stop at the end of the street the idle drops off and its chugging. now if I just drive it has no power and it pops like its back firing but if I shut it off and restart it its good until I stop and shut it off again like at a store if I go in and get a drink and come out and start it at the first stop it drops and chugged again. its not safe and I am a big dodge fan not happy if I am driving and the radio is on and my kids are in the truck and I pull out in a highway and don't notice it chugging I can get hitt and possibly kill myself or worse my family this is my only vehicle I got it in Feb. Of 2016 is there a fix if not they need a recall not safe and I know dodge can do better for us we buy it and they need to live up to the name please help thank you
