1 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 08/25/2020

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.

2 Transmission Noise problem

Failure Date: 07/18/2017

Transmission temp light came on and car lost speed and made funny whining noise. We had to pull off the road and wait till light went off. It was a warm day, about 94 degrees and driving in wy. Same thing happened again in KS on a warm day. The ac was being used. I've seen may reports of this happening to other cars with the cvt. I want Jeep to replace the tyranny.
