Description of the problem	We bought this vehicle for our son, who is off at college. Traveling thru kansas on i-70 returning from vacation, the transmission overheated. Vehicle slowed to 20 mph in traffic with no warning. Had to drive on shoulder to exit ramp and let the transmission cooled down. Took it to dealer and they could not find any diagnostic codes, so they couldn't fix it. This has happened 5 more times since then. Most recently, traveling in 25 degree weather at 70 mph. Took it back to dealer and was told they couldn't fix it. Finally, they admitted that he cvt transmission is the problem, but they won't fix it. Chrysler needs to step up their customer service and fix their poorly designed vehicles. But they are unwilling to work with the customer. The vehicle resale value is in the tank because of this problem. This is a very dangerous situation for any body driving this vehicle.
