My 2014 jeep patriot just experienced transmission failure. It has 91,000 miles on it, but has been properly maintenanced. The input shaft bearing started making grinding and whining noises when the clutch was let out while parked and driving. Soon had troubles shifting and my transmission not wanting to go into gear. I looked on the internet for a remedy and noticed thousand of complaints related to this same issue involving most jeep vehicles. One vehicle only had 31,000 miles when their transmission failed. My vehicle is currently at the automotive shop. They stated that I have 3 options which include rebuild my current transmission (which may be a total loss) , buy a used tramsmission ( no guarantee of when another failure will occur), or buy a new transmission from the dealership (no guarantee of when failure will occur). The automotive shop stated that there is a parts shortage due to this issue and may not be able to obtain the parts to rebuild the transmission and also lack of used transmissions due to the same issue. I just bought this vehicle 1 year ago and will have to pay thousands to fix it due to a known problem in the automotive community without any guarantee of when it will happen again. The owner of my local automotive shop told me to sell it because of the known transmission failure. I saved money to buy this jeep with cash and do not have the funds to continually replace transmissions in it. Big problem for jeep and quality of their products. Bigger problem for the owners that are paying thousands to fix their vehicles. Their transmissioms should be recalled due to not model specific. All jeep models are having the same issues. I cannot believe there is no recall for this issue already.

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.
