Answer 1

There is a KNOWN issue with some Chrysler Corp. PCM communication failures.
The only thing you can do is to make an appointment with the dealer's service center.
They will need toe car for at least the day (maybe longer) and they will correct the issue.
The good news is that if there isn't too many miles on the car, this MAY NOT cost you anything, or maybe just a little, as this could be classified an emissions failure.

Happy Motoring

Answer 2

If you have gone to several mechanics and none could find the problem, I 'd say find a REAL mechanic. You probably have a open circuit from the computer to the scanner, because several have been tried, and they all , the scanners, can't be malfunctioning. Also could be a corroded terminal where the scanner plugs in. These guys didn't try very hard, or didn't know what to do for a "No Communication" problem.

Answer 3
