Two problems related to automatic transmission control module have been reported for the 2000 Jeep Wrangler. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
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.
Engine check light came on/vehicle started smoking. Consumer could smell gas. Turned vehicle off and had it towed. Dealer said said it was the pcm. Also, manual transmission makes noise and it is difficult to change gears.
