Consumer Description

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.
