The engine light and lightning bolt light keeps coming on. When I took it to the dealer they told me that my computer needs and update. They said that chrysler puts out updates and periodically your car needs an update. This would cost $55. He said that he cleared the alarm in the computer but it may come back. Is this for real? A car that is smart enough to know it needs a computer update?

No, that's not what he's says. What he is saying is that the factory has identified a repeating problem that is causing those lights to come on in your vehicle and they have resolved the problem with operating software changes that need to be installed in your car.
