Two problems related to transmission failure have been reported for the 2011 Jeep Patriot. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
When I press on the gas to accelerate my vehiclr stalls and does not move then jerks very quickly flying my car forward. I was told I need a new transmission at 115,000 miles. Jeep has knowledge of the early cvt transmission failures and will not replace them. Very unsafe.
Numerious cvt transmission failure / overheat at highway speeds, very unsafe due to deceleration. Started in Aug 2016 and happens monthly anytime more than 45 minutes of driving.
