2015 Jeep GC Turbo Diesel HELP!

Diesels so much better back in the 70's. Its just too expensive to own them now so much to go wrong and very costly parts.
Assume the dealer drained the fuel/water separator. What did he find? If no drain then assume dealer drained fuel filter in a jar to look at it.
Either way you need to know diagnostic work the dealer has performed and what was found.
Not saying either way ripoff or not, but if you have a CP4 pump and dirty water got to it and grenaded the pump then $13K is not all that crazy for the proper repair. At least that's roughly the number for a Ford PSD that had the CP4 pump grenade.

The GC is being towed to an indie. I will keep you posted.
I appreciate all the guidance.

Brief update.... The indie shop said it's the PGM related, not fuel contamination. Approx $6K in repairs.
You can't make this stuff up.
I will keep you in the loop.

That 2nd gen EcoD was notorious for spinning bearings. It's an Italian-made engine that initially spec'ed a 5w30 oil but FCA then changed that to 5w40 CK4 rated oil (and the CDJR dealers started using Rotella T6 for service) in order to get those engines thru the powertrain warranty.
I would've asked if there were any DTC/CEL trouble code(s) set, and if so, which ones. Misfueling happens, and sometimes they put the wrong stuff in the wrong tanks at the fill stations; been there done that and replaced an entire fuel injection system for about $15K once before. Luckily it was all covered by insurance under comprehensive.
Looking forward to finding out more, but fingers crossed they didn't spin a bearing or two...

Latest I heard the GC might be ready tomorrow.
You got to really love a Jeep diesel to keep it.
I know... She does love it, and it is really nice. I'll leave it right there.
As of this afternoon:
Shop is aiting for their programmer to show up and reprogram the car.
I have no idea what that means, but hoping for the best!

Brief update: Debbie's GC is "running great" according to the shop. She's out of town and will pick it up next week.
I will get a look at the invoice.

That’s grand!
PCM shouldn’t cause $8k. They fixed more than just the PCM.

Will be interesting to know $6k in what.Brief update.... The indie shop said it's the PGM related, not fuel contamination. Approx $6K in repairs.

Not to mention expensive... Ouch!
But Debbie told me it's hard to go to Costco in her BMW, so there's that...
OK, Debbie and John have been traveling; today they went to pick up the GC. Bill was $9K, they did additional work "while it was there" per Debbie.
The shop tested the GC numerous times over maybe 20 miles or whatever. Seemed good to go.
It wouldn't start for John. The shop diagnosed the problem as an intermittent fuel pump; apparantly they rapped on the tank and it started... They felt bad, obviously. Will drain and drop the tank tomorrow and replace pump.
$3K more. Ouch! I wish I had better news to report.

I think I’d ask for a refund on the diagnostic fee.
