So, it looks like Chrysler is definately in the game to sell back the performance it programmed out in the form of a corrected PCU as a possible Stage One performance enhancement option.
Their strategy seems to be to thwart the aftermarket's ability to develop a package that would ferret out their "software shunts" long enough to realize a good profit on selling the customer what they should have received in the original purchase.
This, coupled with the deletions that Chrysler made on the GT and the position that they have taken when called to task on the sway bar issue tends to take away any illusion of what the company is, and what they have planned for us poor souls that help maintain their existence.
The GT that I currently have will be my last new Chrysler product.
If I should decide I like one of their products in the future, I will be sure to buy one that has been previously owned and has been "fully baked" at the first owner's expense.
This is another experience that I will chalk up to experience. It is no one's fault but my own that I took the bait and paid the price for the appearance of performance, comfort features, stable suspension and build level that was based on experience with past production.
From now on, if Chrysler says that my wheels are 5 lug models, I will count them first, and then verify the same amount present on the purchased product; after the sale, and again before loading it up.
Oh, an one more tip: If you should happen to meet with a Chrysler Field Rep, and he extends a hand, skake it first, then count your fingers when you get your hand back. These guys are pros. Their jobs depend on it...
