Description of the problem	Transmission oil overheating.... While making long ascents (climbs) up hill in 4 wheel drive, the transmission fluid has overheated twice in my 2009 jeep wrangler under non-rigorous conditions (dirt road). This occurred twice over the past 4 weeks, where i immediately shut down the vehicle and let it cool off each time. I noticed the transmission was having problems because i received a "hot oil" warning on the instrument panel. I have traveled these roads in other 4x4 vehicles in the past without any problems. Each time this occurs, it is important to turn off the vehicle and let it cool off, otherwise the vehicle could catch fire due to the hot tranny oil boiling out and coming in contact with the exhaust system. I took it the to the dealer (moore jeep in peoria, az) twice and was told there was no known correction for this and since nothing was technically broken, nothing could be done. They offered to put in a tranny cooler at my expense, however, this would void my lifetime transmission warranty. I contacted chrysler directly and filed a formal complaint. I asked that they support adding a transmission cooler or replace the tranny to the jeep, and they denied the request because they can only replace items that are broken. Since the tranny has not completely broken down, they don't see a problem that needs fixed. They applied recall j31, which make a chime when the tranny oil overheats - telling me to turn off the vehicle and let cool. No repairs were made. I have a 9 month old grandchild who travels with me in a child seat and i am concerned that if the vehicle starts on fire, i may not be able to unbuckle him out of the carseat in the back fast enough.
