I'd be looking at spark, that's more often the cause of misfires. If the plugs and leads are in good order, I would be looking at engine sensors, their connections and the wiring.
Belts perish and stretch over time and need to be replaced even though the mileage is low in your case. We couldn't establish a recommended time, from mechanics or Chrysler dealerships, but I would suggest it would be worth changing the belt given the car is eight years old.
Get on the phone and let the dealer know what you think of him; that he is taking you for a ride. When you're finished with the dealer call Chrysler and let them know what this dealer is doing, and tell them in no uncertain terms what you think of the practice. You have been quoted for the service and accepted it, end of story, the dealer should honour that quote. Neither of the extra items is warranted.
