I wanted to post this to "Transmission" but couldn't figure out how to post there. Here's what I wrote:
Last week a Certified & AAA shop changed the CVT Trans. in my 2015 Jeep Patriot 2.0 FWD. It had been changed before under warrantee. This time . . . $1,800. for a used transmission and $1,000. to install, oil, program, etc. On the way home last Friday it started doing exactly what the old trans. was doing. (For the record, I am positive it needed to be replaced. Lots of buzzing noise and I changed the oil hoping to quiet it down . . . but that only made it worse . . . and that's when these problems started.) The overheat light comes on (and off), loss of power when "on" and in "limp mode" until it goes off. I know there's no gears but when the overheat light is "on" it tries spasticity shifting all over the place and the dash P, R, N, D, gear lights flash erratically. Then the overheat light will go off and the car will drive normal. Then back on, and off, on, off . . . etc. You'll drive normal for a few miles then it will come back on. This is the same thing the previous transmission was doing after I changed the oil. Anyone got any answers or experience with this. Thank you!
