Description of the problem	Vehicle started shaking violently, after evaluations and inspections by certified mechanics, i'm told i need a new transmission. I just bought the car 2 years ago, used from a reputable dealer as is, with clean history. Had them check everything over one final time before purchase. Now i'm reading that many other jeep patriot owners have had the same problems. I highly suggest a recall for the 2008 jeep patriot. It has a cvt transmission, which is a dangerous transmission because if it overheats the vehicle shuts down. My husband was driving it on the highway and the vehicle shit down on the highway, luckily neither he not any other motorist was hurt. In 2014 jeep changed from the cvt transmission entirely, suggesting their awareness of the issue with this type of transmission. We don't want anyone else to go through what we've been through, get hurt or even worse. I do hope you would take this complaint seriously and launch a full investigation into chrysler.
