Automatic Transmission Cooler Problems of Jeep Patriot

When it is hot out 85-100f, my transmission overheating light goes on while driving at expressway/interstate highway speeds. The engine temperatures are within normal limits. It occurs without the a/c on. When this situation happens, my vehicle will no longer accelerate and will become slower and slower until I'm going >20mph. This is hazardous on high speed limit congested roadways. This has happened to my 2015 Jeep Patriot freedom drive 2 cvt at least 5 times during hot spring days or the summer. I have had to park on a shoulder of an expressway for 20-30 minutes for it to cool down so I could safely reenter the highway. I have heard of two other people with this issue and I do not know many people who have this model. All vehicles should be capable of getting to highway speed on an on ramp and merge in. I do not know if it is a cooling issue, a thermostat malfunction, or something else. I own the latitude, trail rated model, 2015. I bought it with only 2 miles on the odometer and I do regular fully synthetic oil changes. When I know the issue is starting I hear a distinctive winding sound when accelerating. Almost like the sound a drill or remote control car makes (like it's stuck in 1 gear, even though my car is a cvt I usually feel a "shift" when accelerating or passing. When this occurs, it sounds like something is restricting the "gears" and causing the winding/whining sound, like if you put a manual transmission into 1st or second and kept accelerating up to highway speeds.

The transmission over heats and the speed slows down automatic and will cause the car to stall. This happens on all long road trips. The chain drive transmission is at fault. Jeep covered this up by putting censor on cooling part to mass the real fault. This has happen three times always on long mileage trips. Thank you.
