While driving on the highway the transmission overheat light came on.I had been driving about 45 minutes on hw. The jeep started making a loud whining noise and slowed down. It would not go over 45. It felt like the transmission was sticking some and had a bit of a shake. I pulled it over and had towed to our mechanic. Once he looked at it the next day there were no codes showing and it drove fine. I see there are recalls on this for other jeeps, but my VIN was not one of them. Not understanding why this is.

The transmission fluid dipstick broke off of my vehicle.

On long trips (over 3 hours) in the summer, the transmission gets hot and electronically limits the speed to 30 miles per hour. You can stand on the gas pedal and only the RPM's will increase. The car must sit and cool down before you can continue your trip. I had my car towed immediately to a jeep dealer that was close to where I was stranded. They did full diagnostics on it and kept it for 3 days and could not find any evidence of this issue. They told me nothing was wrong with my car when clearly there is an issue.
