| Description of the problem | 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. |
