SECOND COMPLAIN ABOUT TRANSMISSION FAILURE. VEHICLE NEEDS NEW TRANSMISSION AGAIN AFTER 3 YEARS FROM BEING REPLACED. AS I WAS DRIVING ON I-70 FROM MY HOSPITAL JOB IN THE MORNING RUSH COMMUTE, MY PATRIOT DECIDED TO DROP SPEED FROM 70 MPH TO 30 MPH ON A BLINK OF AN EYE. THIS TIME SINCE I WAS ALONE JUST PUTTING ME IN DANGER UNLIKE THE LAST TIME IN 2013 WHEN IT HAPPEN THAT MY 11 YEAR OLD AND 1 YEAR OLD BABY WERE ON BOARD. I SWERVE TO THE SHOULDER YET AGAIN TO AVOID BEING HIT BY TRAFICC I PROCEED AS I RECALL TO TURN IGNITION OFF AND TRY TO MAINTAIN TACOMETER FROM REACHING 3000 RPM TO AVOID TRANSMISSION SAFE MODE TO KICK IN AGAIN AS I MAKE IT HOME.

FIRST TIME 09/2013 I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 75 MPH FROM COLORADO TOWARDS ARIZONA WHEN FROM ONE SECOND TO THE OTHER VEHICLE FORCE DROP SPEED TO 30 MPH AND A TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON ON DASH, PUTTING MY FAMILY AT DANGER SINCE I HAD TO SWERVE AS FAST AS I COULD TO THE SHOULDER BECAUSE SEMI WAS GOING AS FAST AS ME. WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THERE WAS NO POWER AND A WHINING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER HOOD. I TURNED VEHICLE OFF AND BACK ON AND LIGHT CAME OFF AND POWER WAS RESTORED BUT AS SOON AS THE TACHOMETER REACH 3000 RPM TEMP LIGHT BACK ON AND LOSS OF POWER CAME BACK. I TURN OFF VEHICLE ONCE AGAIN AND RETURNED TO COLORADO SPRINGS STRAIGHT TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSED WITH TRANSMISSION INTERNAL FAILURE 3 YEARS AFTER I PURCHASE BRAND NEW AT 73,687 MILES ON ODOMETER. POWER TRAIN WARRANTY COVER THE CVT REPLACEMENT AND FOUND OUT THAT 100'S OF PATRIOTS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. FAST FORWARD 3 YEARS LATER 2/2017 WHINING NOISE CAME BACK LIGHT CAME BACK BUT NO WARRANTY AND UNFORTUNATELY DEALER ESTIMATES $6000.00 REPLACEMENT BILL. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH JETCO CVT'S ARE THE PROBLEM AND AFTER MANY COMPLAINS PATRIOTS NO LONGER WITH CVT'S BUT I'M STUCK WITH A NON WORKING WORTHLESS VEHICLE IN MY DRY WAY.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO MAKE A LOUD WHIRRING SOUND. SUDDENLY THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT LIGHT TURNED ON AND I LOST POWER. FIRST DROPPING FROM 75 TO 40 MILES PER HOUR AND ULTIMATELY TO 0 MILES PER HOUR. THIS LEFT ME IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE FOR 30-40 MINUTES WHILE I WAITED FOR THE CVT TO COOL DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES. EACH TIME THE DEALERSHIP HAS PULLED FLUID AND STATED THAT THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM. THE WARRANTY IS ABOUT TO EXPIRE, AND IT APPEARS AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CVT ON BOTH THE PATRIOT AND COMPASS.
