POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM)

Manufacturer
Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
What Happened
The powertrain control module in your vehicle is like the brain of your transmission. It helps your car shift gears and control the cruise control. In certain models, this module might not work properly, causing problems with the cruise control.
Risk if Unfixed
If there's a short circuit while using cruise control, you might not be able to shut it off, even if you press the brake pedal or try to turn it off manually. This could cause your vehicle to keep going at the same speed or even accelerate, which could increase the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Chrysler dealer will either update the software in your powertrain control module or replace it with a new one – both options are free. You'll receive a notification from Chrysler, and you should schedule the repair as soon as possible.
