| Description of the problem | Second complain about transmission failure. Vehicle needs new transmission again after 3 years from being replaced. As i was driving on i-70 from my hospital job in the morning rush commute, my patriot decided to drop speed from 70 mph to 30 mph on a blink of an eye. This time since i was alone just putting me in danger unlike the last time in 2013 when it happen that my 11 year old and 1 year old baby were on board. I swerve to the shoulder yet again to avoid being hit by traficc i proceed as i recall to turn ignition off and try to maintain tacometer from reaching 3000 rpm to avoid transmission safe mode to kick in again as i make it home. |
