Vehicle stopped acceleration at highway speeds on way to work in narrow highway stopping traffic and semitrucks narrowly missing collision. Dealership states the transmission cvt was leaking and therefore caused the issue that costly repairs are unaffordable for me. Bought used from private party a month before the incident now leaving me no funds to repair and no transportation to return to work.

What owners say
Cvt transmission slips cause car to stumble in pulling out from stop when turning front wheels feel as if skipping n or not turning does this until transmission shifts then goes away. If cut transition control it does drive little better ti transmission shifts... .had 2shop look at jeep..both stated cvt transmislipping / failing ... Less then 150000 miles on vehicle Transmission has been inspected n fluid checked on several occasions fluid is never low
Cvt overheats at highway speeds. When the CVT trans oil heat light comes on the car rpms increase and acceleration is lost. It was scary losing speed on the highway.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 jeep compass. The contact stated that the struts, ball joints and wheel hubs had to be replaced on the vehicle three times. The dealer stated that the parts were designed to wear. The contact stated that the transmission also failed. The dealer advised the contact that the CVT part was the cause of the failure and the entire transmission would need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown, but the current mileage was 128,000.
The CVT transmission failed. There is a public danger because of sudden failure and engine revving to maximum RPM... Total loss of power to drive train. The CVT transmission replacement costs should have been debited back to the supplier at 100%. I see this is a common problem in the vehicles manufactured with the CVT transmission. Chrysler would not complete the repairs until we agreed to share in the cost. I feel this item should be recalled as a safety issue. I also feel that chrysler should refund our $750 to us in good faith.
