The vehicle while operating under normal driving conditions had a check engine light appear. A certified mechanic found the tcm was faulty. Findings: p0218 high temp operation activated. P0714 transmission temp sensor intermittent. P0613 internal tcm problem. Instrument cluster: 1 tcm/single board engine control message not received data list for tcm is reading 1023 degrees fahrenheit or 1. 10 volts having code p0613 tcm is faulty. ## #vpic# 1 - check digit (9th position) does not calculate properly #vpic#.
The program control module (pcm) contains the transmission control module and all safety features designed into these vehicles. In my case I am developing transmission shifting problems as a first sign with hard shifts and incorrect temperature reading recorded from the transmission. The false high readings can result in unexpected engine shut down and other unsafe operating conditions. Chrysler is no longer providing support for replacement pcm computers, despite this problem affecting large numbers of 2005 and 2006 vehicles with the pcm/tom combination when the solder joints on the pcm/tom circuit board developers corrosion and solder fractures affecting the computer programming. My dealer currently has 29 units that they do not have replacements for on back order with no plans to provide any support to current owners. Owners are forced to rely on a shady second market of poorly expensive refurbished units that are quickly failing. The next only option is a complete engine, transmission emissions change that is nearly impossible in California and still meet inspection rules leaving a mass of Jeep owners with no recourse.
Jeep Wrangler x 2006 automatic. Sthall while running in highway . Then would not start ,no crank. No fuel pump start , no panel indicators working. Shows a 06- 02 code error in panel. Mean fueling calibration error. 3 or 4 days later it start like new.
The ecu has failed 4 times in my Jeep. By doing a little research on a couple of Jeep pages it is a common problem for this particular model. It has been replaced under warranty, for the past 2 years. I have been told that Chrysler will not replace it again. The problem that is caused is the way the transmission shifts from 1st gear to 2nd gear . Sometimes the Jeep will go into "limp mode". This has been going on since August of 2016, a total of 4 ecu's has been installed.
The heater fan speed switch starts failing by only working on high speed. Then it quits completely. I have had the whole unit replaced before about 3 years ago. It just did exactly the same thing again and I have had it replaced again. This time the replacement unit doesn't allow me to change the location of where the heat comes out. It is stuck on the defroster.
Was delivering mail started to smell something got out to check package got back in smoke was coming from vents around dash area went for help when returning to vehicle it was in flame tried to salvage as much mail as possible and it burned completely.
Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Jeep Wrangler. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number 15v222000 (electrical system) however, the part to do the recall repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer has exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Ed.
Submitted repair copies for refund in September 2015. Follow up calls to fca stated check in mail, check has been canceled, someone will follow up with you. Today February 18, 2016 and still told someone will contact me about refund.
In one example out of many engine cuts out completely, vehicle slows down then cuts back in. 15 times, then engine cuts out and stalls. Leaving me in an emergency situation on the freeway. All this during a 40 mile trip.
While driving on the route smoke start coming out from air / heat vents. I stopped the car, got out of opened frond hood, but was nothing there. Walked to passenger door and saw fire where passenger keeps legs. Got my paperwork from the car and by the time I run away from the car the whole thing was ball of fire.
I received a letter from Chrysler that my onboard diagnostic monitor may be defective and that the warranty has been extended to lifetime. I did the test and it is one of the affected vehicles. I took it to ertley motorworld and was told that because I live in an area that doesn't require this pollution test now, the only way they would fix it is if I pay them $ 79. 95. I said what if the test is required in the future in my area or if I move to another location that requires it or sell it to someone in that area and it won't be allowed to be licensed? I was told $ 79. 95 or don't fix it. Now I'm mad and out of $ 10. 00 in gas for my trouble. Why send these notices if it's just red tape to please the government and make fools of the consumer?.
Jeep suddenly lost all power at freeway speed. Almost got creamed by semi. Check engine light came on. Pulled over on shoulder, restarted engine and limped home under 2500 rpm. Any higher rpm resulted in complete power loss. Ran obd got "intermittent cam sensor". Tried to change sensor but assembly was full of metal shavings. Did research found out that the oil pump drive assembly is faulty. Part on back order, no one has it. Common problem with 05 models due to faulty design. Very dangerous and can destroy engine.
The plastic switch controlling the defroster broke, which made it impossible to defog the windows. I was on the highway and had to use a rag to keep the window clear while driving so I could exit.
While driving down the highway at 70 mph the 2006 Jeep Wrangler suddenly lost power and decelerated very quickly. The engine was still running. The rpms dropped to around 1500, pressing the gas pedal did nothing to increase the rpms. I had to pull over out of traffic. This happened several more times before I could get it to a Jeep dealership in July 2009. Jeep replaced all the electrical components to include the main computer at the time. They said that they found a sensor that was bad. The repairs lasted for about 10 month and then it did it again in may of 2010. Jeep had the vehicle for 7 weeks trying before they got it repaired the first time. The last time it took 2 weeks to repair it.
Bought a 06 Jeep Wrangler that intermittently shuts off power while at speeds greater then 50 mph. It is a manual, so the jerk almost puts you in the windshield. Buzz leonard dealership has failed to correct this malfunction 5 times. There is a great danger driving this car, but they don't seem to care.
Took my 2006 Jeep Wrangler sport right-hand drive to an independent service garage for routine oil change at approx. 6900 miles. They tested all the lights and found that both main brake lights were not functioning, and not due to bulb failure. The third light, above the spare tire, was working properly. I took it to the dealer under warranty, where they determined the problem was a faulty steering column electrical stalk system assembly. No accident occurred, though such a brake light failure could potentially cause a very serious crash. The dealership replaced the faulty steering column stock assembly under warranty, and the defective part was not saved.
