The program control module (PCM) contains the transmission control module and all safety features designed into these vehicles. In my case I am developing transmission shifting problems as a first sign with hard shifts and incorrect temperature reading recorded from the transmission. The false high readings can result in unexpected engine shut down and other unsafe operating conditions. Chrysler is no longer providing support for replacement PCM computers, despite this problem affecting large numbers of 2005 and 2006 vehicles with the PCM/tom combination when the solder joints on the PCM/tom circuit board developers corrosion and solder fractures affecting the computer programming. My dealer currently has 29 units that they do not have replacements for on back order with no plans to provide any support to current owners. Owners are forced to rely on a shady second market of poorly expensive refurbished units that are quickly failing. The next only option is a complete engine, transmission emissions change that is nearly impossible in california and still meet inspection rules leaving a mass of jeep owners with no recourse.

The ecu has failed 4 times in my jeep. By doing a little research on a couple of jeep pages it is a common problem for this particular model. It has been replaced under warranty, for the past 2 years. I have been told that chrysler will not replace it again. The problem that is caused is the way the transmission shifts from 1st gear to 2nd gear . Sometimes the jeep will go into "limp mode". This has been going on since august of 2016, a total of 4 ecu's has been installed.

2006 jeep wrangler rubicon inline 6 automatic PCM failure causing my jeep to hard shift from 1st to 2nd. When cold jeep will drop out of gear while driving!!!! For 5 seconds before hard shifting back into gear. The dealership charged me $955 for unrelated parts that did not fix the issue! Before I myself found it to be the PCM. This problem needs to be recalled! Before going to the dealership I took it to a transmission shop who charged me $450 to replace solenoids which was a false trouble code!!! I am so livid because now I am going to have to buy a PCM which are very expensive when they are available to even order!!!

The heater fan speed switch starts failing by only working on high speed. Then it quits completely. I have had the whole unit replaced before about 3 years ago. It just did exactly the same thing again and I have had it replaced again. This time the replacement unit doesn't allow me to change the location of where the heat comes out. It is stuck on the defroster.
