Thought I would throw this out there, not sure if this is similar to what went on in the 12's but ours is currently under the knife for this.
Took three trips to the dealer before they decided to replace it, but I had guessed all along it was the head issue from all the descriptions I could find.
Bummer if this is an indicator of more problems for this motor, just over 9k miles, but maybe it is just our bad luck as I have not seen too much info on others with this issue on newer than 13's.
Light would flash at us climbing grades when it would downshift and run at about 4200 rpm. If I let off the gas it would quit, if I kept on it steady it would stay on and produce the code. No noticeable effects in the way the Jeep drove, except it did kind of putter on me after I forced it to code for me on the street. I left it in 2nd gear and ran it at 4200 rpm a few seconds to reproduce the problem for the dealer to see, it ran rough for a few seconds after that at idle, then felt fine again.
Oh well, if anyone has similar issues or opinions on what else it could be other than another head defect, please let me know.
