Automatic Transmission problems of the 2007 Jeep Patriot

2007 Jeep Patriot 46,000 miles transmission is defective and it will cost 7,000 to replace-- Chrysler 36,000 warranty go figure they will not really assist.

The contact owns a 2007 Jeep Patriot 4x4. While driving 10 mph, the vehicle rolled backwards when it was placed into neutral. The vehicle was placed back into drive and then shut off. The contact placed the vehicle in park once again and was able to be restarted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they were able to duplicate the failure. The dealer stated that the transmission was designed to perform in that manner. The failure mileage was 19,070 and the current mileage was unknown.

This is a one-owner 2007 Jeep Patriot 4wd with 86000 miles. The cvt transmission has gone out. The dealer has no explanation for the failure. Of course the 3/36 warranty is up! dealer says they can only replace at a cost of $4500. How can a vehicle with only 86000 miles need a new transmission!.
