Repeated problems with the cvt transmission overheating during normal driving, loss of power and suddenly unable to accelerate after stopping at intersection. this is an ongoing problem with the jeep cvt's, and is a safety concern regarding the sudden nature of the problem occuring while driving normally.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving approximately 55 mph, the vehicle lost acceleration and the transmission warning indicator flashed. the contact coasted the vehicle to the shoulder and turned it off for approximately 15 minutes. the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed replacement. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 135,000.
The transmission overheat light illuminates on hot muggy days and the vehicle goes in limp mode. the dealer has changed radiator, water pump, thermostat, transmission fluid,catalytic converter, oxygen sensors and gas cap. as the check engine light has also illuminated. no codes are in system for the transmission light so the dealer says they cannot find issue. called chrysler customer service and they were worthless indicating if the dealer cannot find the issue they cannot do anything. this issue has been reported many times to chrysler on other vehicles with no response from chrysler. vehicle is unsafe to drive with this condition. it has 106k. on odometer
I have an issue with jeep patriot with 62000 miles on it the is a whinning sound under my jeep while in motion/running and it starts at 35 mph in the even in a highway and in a street. as common a concerned with this type of compact suv is transmission problem. please conduct an investigation to address this issue. thank you
Car makes a whining noise once it's been driving for a little bit. it is in sync when you accelerate (whines up when pushing gas, whines down when you let go). it hesitates to accelerate which is extremely dangerous on the freeway. on multiple occasions i've been driving down the road and the transmission light comes on, the whining noise continues and the car will just slow down and eventually stop. i've had to cross multiple lanes on the freeway to try and get over to the shoulder so i didn't break down and get hit right away. when starting the car starts extremely rough and is very shaky. dealerships have told me the only way to fix it is to replace the transmission which will cost over $4,000. there are plenty of websites that people are complaining of the exact same issue. it is a common issue across the board with patriots. these need to be recalled, people are spending thousands getting their transmissions replaced because they are breaking down on the highway and causing accidents and injuries.
I replace a transmission through the jeep dealership now i am having problem again with the tranny it stalls . i have to cut it off to restart it for it to have power to pull off.
Vehicle loses acceleration. this tends to happen more when on a hill or small incline but does happen repeatedly when just accelerating on flat surfaces as well. this feels like a stutter or loss of acceleration. i have had the throttle body replaced, spark plugs & coils & tcm but the issue is still there. this is a cvt transmission.
The cvt transmission of this vehicle (2012 jeep patriot) is prone to overheating. this occurs when traveling for a few hours at high speeds. i have found this to occur twice when traveling around 70 miles per hour over a period of 2-3 hours. the car's overheat light comes on, followed by a steady decrease in speed and inability to accelerate, presumably to protect the transmission from further damage. it appears that this is a common problem for this vehicle, as cited by numerous customers on forums.
Tl* the contact owns a 2012 jeep patriot. while driving 70 mph, the rpms increased on their own and the vehicle began to stall without warning. the contact had to pull over. once the vehicle was restarted, it resumed normal operation. the contact drove the vehicle to an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing and a code related to the transmission appeared. the contact took the vehicle to be serviced by several independent mechanics; however, the failure continued. after the recent failure, the mechanic stated that only jeep could repair the failure because it was a programming issue. the contact called station chrysler jeep of mansfield (91 chauncy st, mansfield, ma 02048, 508-339-3400) and was informed to bring the vehicle in to be assessed. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to nhtsa. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was unknown.
The transmission in my 2012 jeep patriot is not functioning properly. it does not accelerate as it should. it stalls when i attempt to accelerate. it does this on city streets and highways. it overheats on hills and can't take it out of town because it's not reliable. this doesn't make sense since the car only has 74,000 miles.

Car is unable to transfer to higher gears. error code p0730 and p0777. 84k miles. two shops stating new transmission needed.
I was driving down the street stopped and proceeded to go up the hill when i pressed on the gas pedal it would not accelerate so i put it in neutral it would rev up but when i put it drive it would not accelerate. so i have taken it to the mechanic to have it evaluated and he said the transmission needs to be replaced it is only 7 years old i think that is crazy. from online forums there have been quite a few patriots that have needed new transmissions with no avail from the manufacturers. i am hoping for a recall on this transmission since i am still paying on this vehicle and cannot afford to buy another and pay out $4200 for a new transmission.
Transmission overheated going 60 miles per hour on the interstate. i pulled over and let the light go off per the user manual and didn't drive it anymore. put it in the shop on monday and it needs a brand new transmission with only 119k miles on it!
