Check engine light came on and I started having erractic shifting, codes came back as po755, p0700, p0716, p1607. This vehicle's transmission will not shift. I have taken to numerous shops half of them say it the pcm the other say it needs a transmission replacement. I have had the shift solenoid b replaced by dealership only for them to charge me then tell me it need a transmission replacement. The vehicle will still drive forward and backward but will not shift gears at all. Losses acceleration every so often then harsely goes back into gear while in motion. Rpm is very high but will still drive.
The contact owns a 2010 Chrysler Sebring convertible. While driving 65 mph with the accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was unable to be diagnosed due to a pcm failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 120,000.
First time anything happened - hotoil warning, check engine light and a weird temp light came on - but all gauges were fine and car was driving fine. Took it to a couple different places to have a diagnostic run on the car. Codes came back that the ecm and tcm were not communicating. System was reset and car was fine. A few weeks later same thing. My husband was driving and it also quit shifting. At a stoplight we felt a clunk as it slipped into gear lights went out and everything seemed fine. About a week ago - same thing happened, took it to Chrysler garage and for $100. 00 ran a diagnostic and told us that the powertrain control module was defective. They updated the computer and it seemed to work fine. Tonight (only a week since it was updated) all of the lights came back on and it has quit shifting. I am going to have to go back to Chrysler for a $3000. 00 + replacement of the entire pcm (powertrain control module is the main computer system in the car) I have a warranty on the powertrain - but of course this part is not covered - even though it is the powertrain control module. It seems odd to me that the 2009 Sebring had a recall for this exact part and so did the 2011, but not the 2010. Strange -- and I can honestly say I hate Chrysler --- totally rude and unconcerned about the financial burden this will cause my family --- if the pcm is required for the powertrain to function properly - it should be considered part of the powertrain and should be covered under the warranty. Also I would be very interested to know why the 2010 is not being recalled for the same part as the 2009 and 2011.
