2012 Jeep PATRIOT Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1404940
Internal NHTSA #	11021087
Manufacurer	Chrysler (FCA US LLC)
Brand	JEEP
Model	PATRIOT
Model Year	2012
File date	22/04/15
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The cvt transmission for this vehicle was not designed to drive such a heavy car. As a result the transmission began slipping at 35,000 miles. This is a major safety issue in that pulling into or crossing traffic is dangerous when power can't be transferred predictably to the wheels. I'm not sure of the amount of complaints about this issue, however, doing cursory search will find many instances of these transmissions slipping, overheating and failing well within the service life of the oil (100,000 miles). There are probably many other chrysler products that have this small car transmission placed in an suv and not suitable for weight and vehicle load. Although no accident has happen as a result there have been many close calls, and i'm sure that there are others that have experienced the same. Thanks for your consideration of this issue
