2010 Jeep Patriot transmission problems

Filed Jun 29, 2023 · Acceleration, Transmission · WA

I was on the freeway going about 75mph when all of a sudden it lost acceleration I couldn't get it to go more to 35 or 40 mph in and gear. Pulled to the side and let it sit for like 15 mins and it started up normal drove fine for a little bit. Then I went the back way home and didn't go over 50mph and it was fine got home and parked. Next morning went to leave and like 5 miles down the road only doing like 40 mind you. It completely goes out no acceleration just revs. Towed it home now it still starts and goes into gear but won't move just acts like its still in park.

When braking, the jeep seems to loose rear control features. The same often occurs when slowly accelerating. It has "shifted" from one side to the other at times when general straight road driving occurs. Speeds have never exceeded 30 MPH. Braking loss of rear control occurs at speeds never exceeding 5 miles an hour

Transmission started with a whining sound, then the check engine light came on, the SUV then began to sputter, then it stopped accelerating on the interstate. I pulled off to the side to restart my vehicle and it ran fine for a few miles and began to do this again. Something with the CVT transmission. Going to cost a fortune to fix. Chrysler should be responsible. This is a dangerous glitch in their vehicles.

While driving on a highway I noticed a whining noise and losing power going up a hill I was able to get home and to my mechanic. After checking the transmission he found metal filings in it and said I needed a new transmission. I was very disappointed in hearing this as the jeep only has about 68000 miles on it. I contacted the jeep dealer in scranton pa and was told that the vehicle was out of warranty. I contacted different transmission garages and was quoted prices from over $3000 to $6000. Reading about other peoples problems with jeep vehicles this seems like a big ongoing problem with jeep transmissions.I hope your agency can help us out so we can get some satisfaction from jeep.

My 2010 jeep patriot was purchased at jeep, dodge, chrysler dealership in jax fl off blanding blvd. I have had my vehicle since may 2018 and have not been able to drive it in almost 3 months due to transmission that is to costly to fix. It broke down in august 2018, got it fixed in october 31st 2018 and it broke down on me again on november 3rd 2018. I don't understand why there has not been a recall on these vehicles because all the reports I read on them are complaints about these CVT transmissions that's in them. I got another transmission and it's doing the same thing.

I purchased this vehicle in 2014 from thoroughbred nissan in tucson, az a few months after purchase the transmission was replaced under warranty. Now three years later the transmission is again slipping and has already caused stalls on the highway. One of the times the jeep stalled just as I switched lanes in front of a semi on an interstate highway ,I was barely able to pull the car over and out of the path of the truck right before the car completely shut off. I have taken the vehicle to a dealer in california where I now reside and they have informed me I have to replace the transmission and there is no longer no warranty. I have also taken the jeep to two other places that specialize on transmission and they have both informed me that the transmission utilized in this type of jeep has many problems and that they would recommend I buy a new car all together as I am likely to experience similar problems in about 2-3 years if I choose to have the transmission replaced, even if I continue to maintain it properly as I have been. This jeep is only 7 years old and is already in need of it's third transmission. I have researched complaints on this vehicle and transmission failure seems to be common in these type of cars. It is extremely dangerous to keep allowing these cars to operate with the current faulty transmissions especially because they start to stall with no warning. I had an extremely close call and would hate for anyone to stall out without notice going full speed on a highway. My car stalled many times before any light came on, and dealers aren't even willing to replace a transmission with such light. Please I urge you to review this problem and find a solution. This problem first surfaced in the fall of 2016 and the problem continues. I rarely drive this car due to this.I have researched options and feel the manufacturer should take responsibility.

Automatic transaxle overheating. Very dangerous to happen specially if you are in the freeway. I believe that they make this model thinking that drivers will consider not to accelerate speed in a hot climate. Car is at 75 MPH in the freeway on a hot climate of 80f.
