Description of the problem	The pcm used with automatic transmissions has a serious and very common failure. Chrysler has known since 2006 and has made no effort to date to rectify the issue. The tcm side (internal with the pcm) has a problem that causes harsh shifting issues. The only known successful repair is to replace the pcm. This has caused them to be unavailable and when they are, they are 3 to 5 times more expensive than other years. Also, these remanufactured pcm's are not reliably repaired, it is usual that several different pcm's be installed before a reliable one is found. I know of a 2006 jeep tjl that had six mopar remanufactured computers installed in 90 days, all by the same dealership, before one that actually worked was found. There are hundreds of posts on every online forums that jeepers use that discuss the problem in great detail. A quick google search will net you all you ever wanted to know about the 2006 wrangler automatic transmission pcm failures.
