trans went out on our way home from a surgery for our daughter in dallas texas. the car made it back home barely, took to our dealership luckily we had bought a warranty with this car , we waited 5 months though to get the warranty company to kick in ,also went through 3 loaner cars from our dealership. no problem there but to wait 5 months... and the total cost was 4900.00 for the fix. our cost was 150.00 for a new cvt for this car. we will be trading it off very soon. not a very good car, very cheaply made.

I had my transmission replaced in 2010 at 60,000 miles. Now I am up to 130,000 and similar problems have been occurring with my transmission. I have a lifetime powertrain warranty. However, each time I bring it in, of course the problem is not covered under warranty. I have paid for several repairs they promise will fix the issue and now my car is not even drive-able. Today they are saying again, a new problem popped up (since I brought it in 5 days ago) and that is not covered under warranty. My mechanic says he sees Jeep Patriots weekly with transmission problems. And that I need a new transmission, which they refuse to give me.
