Example complaints

“The PCM/ecu (cars computer or brain), that controls everything in the vehicle, sensors, emissions, fuel etc.has gone out for the second time causing a crank no start issue. Took vehicle to my local Jeep dealer (hemet, ca.) for them to charge me $1450.00!!! For a new PCM! And not a new part, but a rebuilt one! I can find factory replacement PCM's online for $520.00 new not rebuilt! Have read numerous owner co mplaints about this very same part and wondered, why no recall or TSB ? Thank you for any help.”
