Transmission Failure problems of the 2013 Jeep Patriot

Tl-the contact owns a 2013 Jeep Patriot. The contact stated that the transmission failed, when the contact drove up hill the vehicle over heated and reduced speed independently when the acclerator pedal was engage the vehicle did not accelerate over 40mph. The contact also found that the rpm increased independently. The vehicle was taken to an unknown mechanic that located failures codes p0777 p0741 and the mechanic advised the contact that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The failure mileage 107,000. Li.

Cvt transmission overheating failure at 70 to 75 mph on highway, car shut down without warning and I was forced to pull off to shoulder. If no shoulder potential fatality could have occurred from high speed trucks or cars unable to slow down thus crashing into rear of car. This situation has occurred with numerous Patriots documented on the internet, as well as mine. Chrysler refuses to correct the problem by a recall.

The Patriot cvt transmission is faulty and subject to early transmission failure. Around 90,000 miles, my transmission began overheating. This happens while traveling on the highway going an average of 65-70mph for more than an hour, transmission overheat warning light turns on and car begins to lose power. It's necessary to pull over and wait for cooldown with car turned off for at least 10 minutes- which is extremely dangerous to do on a major highway, sometimes at night. Jeep states this shouldn't happen unless you are towing or the temperature outside is exceedingly hot. My Patriot does this every time I take a trip that requires an hour or more of highway driving, regardless of temperature outside and despite the fact that I do not tow anything ever. Transmission whines loudly in the process and the car will slowly lose acceleration power right before the overheat light turns on. It's a scary experience every time. I've taken my Jeep into the dealership under warranty to fix this problem, however- their solution of changing out some valves did not prove to be effective as the problem continues to happen. Interstingly enough, Jeep ceased using the cvt transmission in 2014 after only 2 years- im assuming this problem has something to do with it.
