Do a google search and you'll find lots of info on the problem.
I was hoping it was just a broken valve spring when my 2011 hemi acted up last summer, but it turned out to be a badly worn camshaft lobe on one cylinder.
A considerably more expensive problem to fix.
As KnifeFan007 said, check google as both things seem to be relatively common events.
