Anyone know if Chrysler/the dealerships are making any progress on solving these issues? When I was at my dealers last week for some warranty work they had two virtually brand new 2011 JK CRDs in there for the DPI related issue (MIL lights, limp mode), & the service manager admitted they were scratching their heads trying to work it out.
the manufacturer will resolve the issue quicker than the dealers will and the issue will become one of those "expect this to happen every so often" things that is common to every other manufacturer using DPF on their diesel vehicles.
