| Description of the problem | On numerous occasions, the transmission will overheat, indicated by a high pitch wine and then a warning light while at freeway speed. On my vehicle it does not seem to matter what the ambient temperature is. This then involves me sitting at the side of the highway, which is a huge safety concern. Dealers do not or will not say there is a problem after checking the diagnostics, when it is plainly evident based on a wealth of internet sites tis is a common problem with the cvt transmission, particularly in a jeep patriot. This issue is happening with more frequent occurrences as time goes on. My issues started at 2500 miles, i am at 86,500 now. I can say that the issue has never started while driving on city streets, only happens at 60+ with as low as 2500 rpm indicated on the tachometer. |
