Well this week had a power steering pump go south, along with leaking power steering line, and had those replaced, now today the code lit for oil pressure sending unit. It is simply ridiculous how many trips (around 25) to the dealer service dept. and parts have been needed to be replaced since I bought it new, whereas every other vehicle I have owned over the past 35 years has rarely if at all been back to the dealer for repairs. I learned my lesson and am done with Jeep forever, and will never buy any Chrysler product again. Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. JD Power and Assoc just released 2012 Vehicle reliability report and guess what, the bottom 4 of all manufaturers are Ram, Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler.

I pushed several times for a new PCM. It was re-flashed several times (including updates) to ensure all the programming is correct. One thing I learned is that the same PCM hardware is used on several MOPAR platforms. Thus, when the dealer replaces it, they have to download the appropriate software using your Jeep's VIN.
Apparently the StarScan does some sort of pre-programmed test to verify that the software has been properly installed. This was run on my PCM and found to be acceptable.
I'll probably run this '08 WK HEMI for several more years. Has ~96K miles. I would like to have the 8-speed xmission and the new diesel, but want to let some of you other guys do the developmental testing on them first.
