| Description of the problem | When driving in warmer weather (not even hot weather) the transmission fluid light comes one and the jeep powers down. The manual states to let the car idle until the light comes off. No codes are ever detected and jeep says there is nothing they can do without a code. This will happen several times during a trip and leaves patriots stranded on the side of the highway with semi's and trucks whizzing by. It is very dangerous. On jeep forums there are many, many cases of others stating the same thing has happened to them. It is a known issue with the jatco cvt transmission and nissan has a class action lawsuit. This has happened to me at least 5 times to date. |
