2006 Jeep WRANGLER Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1596530
Internal NHTSA #	11252210
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	WRANGLER
Model Year	2006
File date	15/02/17
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The transmission control module (tcm), part of the computer, fails and manifests as a failure to shift from 1st to 2nd, over revving, loud thuds/clunks when it does shift from 1st to 2nd. Computer (tcm) can be reset if battery (+) disconnected and grounded out. This problem is not rare, estimate several 1,000 jeep wranglers '05 and '06 with automatic transmissions are experiencing this now or will. Chrysler has no interest in repairs or providing parts. From jeep forums, best guess is a resistor or capacitor on the computer motherboard fails or critical electrical connections were poorly/incorrected soldered leading to insufficient and inconsistent connectivity.
