| Description of the problem | First time 09/2013 i was driving on the highway at 75 mph from colorado towards arizona when from one second to the other vehicle force drop speed to 30 mph and a temperature light came on on dash, putting my family at danger since i had to swerve as fast as i could to the shoulder because semi was going as fast as me. When i came to a complete stop there was no power and a whining noise coming from under hood. I turned vehicle off and back on and light came off and power was restored but as soon as the tachometer reach 3000 rpm temp light back on and loss of power came back. I turn off vehicle once again and returned to colorado springs straight to dealership and was diagnosed with transmission internal failure 3 years after i purchase brand new at 73,687 miles on odometer. Power train warranty cover the cvt replacement and found out that 100's of patriots have the same issue. Fast forward 3 years later 2/2017 whining noise came back light came back but no warranty and unfortunately dealer estimates $6000. 00 replacement bill. After much research jetco cvt's are the problem and after many complains patriots no longer with cvt's but i'm stuck with a non working worthless vehicle in my dry way. |
