Transmission overheats & vehicle shuts down when driving at speeds over 60mph on the highway. Forced to pull off the roadside to wait until it cools down. Its happened to me on several occasions where there was barely any shoulder along the highway, I thought my granddaughter & I were going to be killed. Ive had it to the dealership mutliple times for this problem since purchasing it from dealership and have had no resolve. On one occasion the jeep had been at the dealership for a month now and all they kept telling me is that they cant do anything about it. Current situation - last month (march) I am unable to drive the jeep over 20 MPH. I've contacted the dealership multiple times regarding this and I can't get anyone to give me an answer if they are going to take care of the transmission. I am angry at this point. We've been complaining about the transmission to the dealership since we purchased it now I am without a vehicle and I work in healthcare. I think this may fall under the lemon law. It might be time to contact an attorney. Please help

I have to sit on the side of the road for 15-20 minutes then try to drive again . This has happened multiple times most recently memorial weekend 2019. I have taken my jeep to the dealership but they say they can not find anything wrong

Every summer since I bought the car the CVT transmission overheats when driving at speeds ove 60mph on the highway. Several times my vehicle has lost power and im forced to the roadside to wait until it cools down. It happened to me in chicago once where there is no shoulder to the thruway and I thought I was going to be killed. Ive had it to the dealership at least 6 times for this problem and have had no resolve. The car has currently been at the dealership for over a month now and ive also been dealing with jeep customer car and all they keep telling me is that they cant do anything about it. Im lost at this point. I think this may fall under the lemon law but jeep will not work on anything with me. Please help

Engine started to overheat after a weekend drive. Warning light came on as we were parking. Took it in to get coolant temperature sensor replaced, coolant flush, and thermostats replaced. Come to find out the head gasket blew and damaged the piston rings. I need a new engine! There was no warning of high engine temperatures until 5 seconds before we parked! Car was always maintained. The engine had 79,000 miles.

Tkata recall. I own a 2014 jeep patriot and have had nothing but trouble which started just a couple months after I purchased it new. The first issue was the transmission hose came off while I was driving down the highway. This caused the car to stall and I was nearly unable to control the car to get pulled over. The dealership replaced the hose clamp, filled with transmission fluid and released it back to me. Had I known what hell I would be dealing with afterwards I would have never brought it back home. I now have electrical issues (I believe). The car will overheat within minutes of driving it. I have no heat. The etc light comes on often and the engine light is now a constant. I have had it to the repair shop to many times to count now and they are unable to figure it out. Jeep has offered no assistance and states that there are no other issues like mine, but when I look at blogs there are thousands. I feel dooped by jeep. This complaint is my last resort because I do not know what else to do. I have tried to trade this car but the amount I owe and being that this car is of zero value due to all of the issues, it is almost impossible to trade in. Someone please help!!!

On numerous occasions, the transmission will overheat, indicated by a high pitch wine and then a warning light while at freeway speed. On my vehicle it does not seem to matter what the ambient temperature is. This then involves me sitting at the side of the highway, which is a huge safety concern. Dealers do not or will not say there is a problem after checking the diagnostics, when it is plainly evident based on a wealth of internet sites tis is a common problem with the CVT transmission, particularly in a jeep patriot. This issue is happening with more frequent occurrences as time goes on. My issues started at 2500 miles, I am at 86,500 now. I can say that the issue has never started while driving on city streets, only happens at 60+ with as low as 2500 RPM indicated on the tachometer.

After driving on the highway for about 2-3 hours, the transmission overheats and the car speed is forced down to about 35-40 MPH. This is very dangerous when vehicles are traveling behind me and the car is effectively slamming on the brakes. While the vehicle may be operating as designed when the transmission overheats, it shouldn't overheat after 2-3 hours of highway driving. I am not hauling heavy cargo or exceeding the posted speed limits.

My jeep overheats regularly, no towing just regular colorado hwy driving, makes high pitched whining sounds, and loses power. I have to pull over and wait for the light to go off, resume driving, and pull over again when the light comes on. Over and over this happens. Dealership says no error code on the engine and there is nothing they can do.

I was driving down the interstate and my transmission overheat light came on, without warning, the jeep slowed to 40. Very dangerous on the interstate where the speed limit is 75. Luckily I was in the right lane and pulled over. I could have been rear ended and killed. This is very dangerous!!! Dealer said since there were not any codes showing, they could not fix it.
