| Description of the problem | 2nd time my transmission stall while on the interstate due to transmission overheating light comes on and vehicle will stall and not accelerate past 40 mph. I had to move over three lanes to pull over on the side of i15 n with vehicles coming up to 70 mph. Happy to be alive and that i was not hit. This is the 2nd time this issue happens to me and it seems like jeep is waiting for someone to get kill to fix their cvt transmission issues. Chrysler/ jeep know that is an ongoing issue and do not care to fix it. Took it both times to dealer and "is nothing" is what i am told every time "is a fluke in a code" "just pull over and let it cool every time it happens" and well "we don't have a fix for it". They only recommended to replace fluid but did not warranty this will fix problem. Obviously there is something wrong when so many people keep on complaining about this issue. And, well nissan who uses the jatco cvt is fixing bearing in the transmission and transmission coolers and fixing the issue. Jeep/ chrysler just does not care about it customers and tell us "is nothing" never ever buying a jeep and/ or chrysler in life! Will gladly trade-in soon as i am not willing to put my life at risk getting hit on an interstate at 70 mph by another car. What would i tell them sorry i am driving 30 - 40 mph on the highway but my cvt transmission is faulty and it stall on me. No thank you!!!! |
