My first hiccup.....should I worry?
2013 R/T, 9000 miles, late '13, built in July. I'm about to take a 1 week towing vacation. This morning I started it up and after 5 seconds the tach/rpm's dropped and it nearly died, but didn't. Like a stutter as if I had turned off the key for a split second (although all lights/gauges stayed on). Everything fine after that and I drove it 6 miles no issues with a restart.
Anyway with all the TIPM failures, I wondered if this was a pre-cursor to mine failing......hopefully not while on the road. Any help much appreciated.

My 2012 has done this a couple of times, died once. Could be the early signs of the infamous TIPM failure but until it gets worse, they won't do anything. Still would suggest doing what I did, get it in just before the 36k warranty expires, and complain about it. They won't find or do anything, but it gets it on record and then if the TIPM were to fail in the next few thousand miles you can argue that you took it in under warranty. You've got quite a way to go, unless you put miles on like I do. Mine was out of the 36k warranty in 18 months. I'm now at 40k miles and it has been great the past 25k miles, hasn't done it.
