Description of the problem	While driving 75mph for 25miles the transmission overheat light came on and the patriot started slowing itself down, on the interstate in heavy traffic, i read in the manual to pull over put in neutral till it cools off or just drive slow, i have had this happen 10 times since reaching 38,000 i contacted chrysler and they advised i have a diagnostic done at dealer, i did and the dealer said it showed nothing. The dealer said there isn't anything i can do because it is doing what it is designed to do. They also added that they have had several similar cvt complaints from patriot owners. Driving 75 mph should not overheat a transmission. It is very dangerous to be driving on the interstate when the patriot slows itself down, i have almost got run over several times.. I need chrysler to acknowledge this problem and find a solution before i have an accident from it.
