Did they check it when the light was on? If it wasnt on when they checked it; they wont find anything. It could be a map sensor.

pull up the code yourself. anytime the engine light comes on, it stores a code even if the light goes out.

turn the key to on
then acc
then on
then acc
and then on do this real fast, like less than 3 seconds and a code will come up by the odometer

let me know what the code is.

the first time i was driving back from phoniex(i live in cal)and when i was just about at the dealer the light went off. the second time the engine light never came on. but if i was to pull out in front of traffic and it did that i would get hit, it cant be safe.anyways ive reported it to the service department and to dodge public relations so if it keeps happening maybe ill get a brand new car by lemon law.thanks for the replys i was just wondering if this type of thing has happend to anybody else

the codes were cleared out either by the dealer or a power loss to the computer. if the light does come back on, check the codes before you go to the dealer.
