The Chrysler 300 from 2006 might have problems with shifting because of issues with the PCM. Models made between 2005 and 2016 have been reported to show issues like rough shifting, shuddering, hesitation, and jerky acceleration, all caused by faulty PCM software. Many owners have submitted complaints about these issues. To fix the PCM on the Chrysler 300, you can get software updates from the manufacturer or a Chrysler dealership. Typically, the problems start around 91,580 miles. The vehicle's computer can also face strain from factors like corrosion, heat, or engine vibrations. Sometimes, a shorted solenoid or actuator circuit can disrupt the power control module's operation when there are voltage surges. Replacing the power control module on a Chrysler 300 can cost between $850 and $880 including parts and labor.
