| Description of the problem | There have been numerous complaints of early transmission failure, even with with normal servicing. Issues start with a whining noise, overheat warnings, and an inability to accelerate. The most common solution is replacement of the transmission. Late 2014 model year patriots changed to a non-cvt transmission. After replacing original cvt transmission for $2,500 it failed again within 6 months. The jeep is undrive-able. There should be a recall on the cvt transmission. My jeep is undrive-able and still owe $5900 while it sits in the driveway!! Transmission slips while driving and jeep stalls making it extremely dangerous to drive. Internet forums have countless compalints about these cvt transmissions with same symptoms!! |
