| Description of the problem | Cvt transmission started making noise and not shifting at 42000 miles. No accident occurred but since jeep/dodge service departments are not authorized to perform maintenance on cvt transmissions it had to be replaced. Due to issues with jeep/dodge a new transmission would have been on backorder for a minimum of 30 days. I was not able to wait that long so i found a low mileage transmission in a salvage yard and had the service department install it. Because i purchased my jeep approx. 2 weeks before the lifetime powertrain warranty was initiated i had to bear the entire cost. |
