| Description of the problem | While driving under 30 mph on asphalt, dash display indicated "hot oil" with an audible ding. Placed in park and allowed the transmission to cool down. First time this has happened to my jeep, however after research this is a common issue due to the transmission cooler not doing its job. Can result in equipment failure or fire. Jeep corrects issue after a failure, however if you wait for failure then you risk fire. With 2 children and my wife in the jeep, this is unacceptable and needs to be addressed now for safety. |
