Hi,

New member here and as with many no doubt it's due to searching for answers to a problem which may be common or known.

I have a 2010 hemi, had it for a little under a year, the last 2 months the idle has become somewhat unstable, it wobbles and you'll feel the resulting shaking when it does so. The truck is also cutting out sometimes, not often, maybe only 3 times in the last 2 months, but I'll be sat idling in "Park" and it just stalls, it'll immediately restart with no issue.

The only other issue I'm having at the moment is that the aircon doesn't work at all, I can't even hear the compressor engaging, this is likely unrelated but need to get it looked at but just in case it could be relevant.

Any ideas? I thought maybe plugs but because it runs absolutely fine while driving and at higher rpm this seems less likely so I'm more inclined to think sensor, I'm not getting any codes when I read the obd.

I’d be leaning towards changing your spark plugs (on a 2010 they should be changed every 50,000km(30,000miles)) as well, I would clean the throttle body.
Another thing to suspect is the PCV Valve, this can cause a lot of your problems by itself

All simple maintenance things

I had a similar issue-my trans was a quart low on fluid which caused my shudder and truck to die upon coming to stops

Good luck
