    Engine idles too low: engine idles at approximately 600 rpms, when ac kicks in idle drops to 500 rpms or less causing vehicle to shutter and shake as if it is going to stall. Have taken vehicle back to dealer for reset, but vehicle still idles at around 600 rpm. Vehicle specs state vehicle should idle at 650 rpm +or- 50 rpms for v6 engine. This is too low when ac is turned on.
