My 2011 dodge durango has trouble starting on the first start. Mechanic said there was a bulletin regarding the issue and informed me that we should try updating the software. That did not work. Durango continues to sputter when it is started. It eventually does start either on its own or after another try. Will attempt another solution at next regularly scheduled service.
