| Description of the problem | Transmission oil is overheating while climbing steep grades at highway speed and also when driving off road and up hills at slow speed. Had to pull over to the shoulder of highway creating hazard. After researching this problem i have found that many chrysler jeep wrangler jk models have noted this problem. Many have reported that transmission can start fire. Problem can be fixed with external transmission cooler but may void warranty. I have just purchased this vehicle only two months ago and since found all this out. Chrysler has apparently added a "hot oil" light as resolution but this seems ineffective and does not actually correct the problem. Seeking guidance and resolution. |
