| Description of the problem | While driving at highway speeds the transmission began to make a loud whirring sound. Suddenly the transmission overheat light turned on and i lost power. First dropping from 75 to 40 miles per hour and ultimately to 0 miles per hour. This left me in the middle of nowhere for 30-40 minutes while i waited for the cvt to cool down. This has happened 2 additional times. Each time the dealership has pulled fluid and stated that they could find no problem. The warranty is about to expire, and it appears after researching online, that this is a common problem with the cvt on both the patriot and compass. |
