Description of the problem	While driving on the highway the transmission overheat light came on. I had been driving about 45 minutes on hw. The jeep started making a loud whining noise and slowed down. It would not go over 45. It felt like the transmission was sticking some and had a bit of a shake. I pulled it over and had towed to our mechanic. Once he looked at it the next day there were no codes showing and it drove fine. I see there are recalls on this for other jeeps, but my vin was not one of them. Not understanding why this is.
