Is this where the problem is? Where the rubber meets the metal tube?

I never post on Jeeps FB page. I had to jump in on Salwasser (a.k.a Cupcake). He seems like someone who just wants to fight for no reason. Social media does help to spread the word.

I hope you guys aren't hurt things at this point. This has been brought to Jeep's attention and they want to speak to our friend now where they didn't before. It's one thing to get thier attention . . . . it's another thing to piss them off.
There are good dealerships and there are bad dealerships, there are good workers and bad workers in the crysler orginization. Hopefully the good decision makers wish to take a look at this problem now.

All dealerships and auto makers have delt with bad situations before. If they are working with him now great. And they will get all the praise out there once they correct the situation and make things right. Chrysler isn't stupid, they know the only way to start getting good PR out of it is to do whats right.

I don't remember what is was, you can search if you want the details, it was talked about a lot here.
If you did not get that flash (you should), then as is, your 08 will make a ding, but no notifications of what the ding might be.
Also, if you did not get the flash, and your not sure if you did over heat at one point, You can go to a trans shop and have them take a look. You can check as well, by smelling the trans fluid on the dip stick. Should not smell like anything near burnt and should be a nice cherry red, somewhat clear.
