Description of the problem	2005-2006 jeep wranglers are incurring an apparent large number of pcm/ecu failures (as evidenced in many online forums and a high backlog of pcm orders which jeep/chrysler is unable to fill or provide an eta for). The failure of the pcm reveals itself in many ways including emissions system failures (and resultant vehicle inspection failures i will add), transmissions failing to shift, hard forceful transmission shifts with vehicle lunges and more. On my vehicle specifically the o2 sensor codes are coming on and the vehicle will randomly not shift out of second gear which presents itself as a safety hazard when entering high speed freeways and interstates. The o2 sensors were replaced new with oem parts and the codes did not go away. The fault was traced by a reputable mechanic (christian brothers automotive) to the pcm and further online investigation indicates this a frequent and recurring issue. When i attempted to replace the pcm through jeep/chrysler i am unable to because the part is backlogged. I have placed a pricey $1600 order for the part but thus far (1 week) i have not been provided with an eta or any answers as to why this design defect has not been addressed. Based on the large number and type of issues reported online with this pcm i am left wondering why it is not a safety, emissions and/or recall issue. My specific pcm pn is r6044529ac but multiple variations of the pn appear to be effected.
