Quick update...the dealership has replaced the gas peddle. No change. Looked in the tranny for metal shavings due to some solenoid issues in there....no metal. Now
Chrysler is telling them to replace the ECM. I don't think it will change anything but here goes! So frustrated!!!!!!

Dealership called this afternoon. They put in a factory ECM and said it started right up. They ran it for awhile with no issues. They are going to drive it for awhile in the morning and see if it's still good. Keeping my fingers crossed.
What I am really keeping my fingers crossed about is that the company I bought the no factory ECM from will give me my money back.

Its been a couple weeks since I got the rig back. I sent back the aftermarket ECM (second one) that I bought for a refund. I would never recommend anyone buy a refurbished rebuilt one. I am sure my original went bad and I would have had an easy fix from the beginning if I would have bought one from a dealer.

I had the dealer put in a new one and reflash it, and bam. Not a problem since then!! Keeping my fingers crossed.

Any word on how your jeep has been since the new ecu? I have all the same symptoms except the limp mode but all the dash lights,jeep not starting etc. also mine flashes a hot oil light also. The dealership can't seem to figure out the problem. As much as I hate to say it I might suggest a new ECM to them.

After I had a new ECM from the dealership installed, it ran great. I was able to return the aftermarket rebuilt one for a full refund. My suggestion would be, only use factory new ECM's!!!!!

I'm glad everything worked out for you. I had my throttle body changed and gas pedal changed. Still have the issue. Dealer is gonna order the pcm for me. This is my dd.. sucks.. and to tell you the truth quite dangerous when it goes into limp mode when you are in the left lane on the highway. Great thread.. gives me hope

Glad to hear you're not having anymore problems out of it, and I will definitely be keeping this in mind, just in case my brother or I have anything like this going oon down the road with our jeeps.

Dealers in general do not know crap about the vehicles they service and only follow procedures.
I just replaced my JKU's TIPM, which is a serious Achilles' heel in our Jeeps that can leave us stranded if we are lucky, or even kill us if it fails.

It's $600 for unreturned core charged by Superchips... I just put a Superchips' Traildash2 in my 2015 JKU and didn't do a swap, instead had them update my original and send it back to me, so far so good
