Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“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.”

“Transmission rattles if in neutral, with clutch pedal not depressed. When in first gear, will often pop out of geat with a loud sound. Difficult to change gears from 5 to 4 after driving for more then 30 min in 5th gear. Please note that I'm in ontario, canada, postal code k1n 9m5, so state and zip infor in the form are not correct.”
