Yes, a failing PCM can be dangerous — especially at highway speeds. Losing power or experiencing erratic shifting can put you at risk in traffic. If you notice unusual behavior, it’s best to pull over safely and avoid continuing to drive.
If you suspect your PCM is failing, the first step is proper diagnosis. Many PCM issues can be repaired without needing a full replacement, saving you time and money.
