Description of the problem	Good morning, i was traveling on my 2011 jeep patriot for the first time on our way from san diego, california to peoria, arizona when about 100 miles my car had transmission oil hot warning light on my dash.(was not pulling anything) i pulled over cause that is what the owners manual says to do, i did exactly what it instructed to do. The light turned off, and i continued with my trip. This happened twice, but 45 min later my engine turned off when i was on the freeway. I did not get any warning on my dash, i just could not speed up. All electrical was still working as if the car engine was still running. I had to stir the car from the third outside lane to the emergency right emergency lane with no power steering. Once i managed to do that. My car engine would not turn on. I had to call for road side assistance and stay on the 116 degree weather for two hours for a tow tuck. Once all that happened, they dropped the car to a jeep dealer. But the dealer was closed. The next day, the looked at the car, and they said nothing was wrong with the car. They could not figure out what happened. This happened for two days. I got my car back from the dealer with nothing done to it. I looked the problem up in many jeep blogs and it seems this car cant be used on long trips cause the transmission overheats. Im in the military and my wife drives this car. I wish i knew this when i bought the car from the dealer. I'm going to trade this car in for a different make today cause i don't feel safe driving this car. Hope you can look at this issue and help all jeep patriots drivers. Thanks for your help in them matter.
