Description of the problem	Transmission is overheating in various driving conditions. It used to be at highway speeds on hot days. Now it occurs in any conditions down to 49 degrees at 45 miles per hour. The problem is common in this vehicle, chrysler knows about it and does nothing to correct it in manufacturing. Problem has been occurring since the first year but was too infrequent and got too little response from dealership to invoke lemon law in time. Chrysler and some dealerships attempt to wait out the lemon law and then the warranty period. Transmission overheats with much greater frequency now. The safety problem is that the vehicle goes into limp mode and goes to zero power very quickly. My wife could find herself stranded in an strange or unsafe neighborhood,or worse, along crowded stretch of interstate like i95 n at chester, pa or in the middle of any clover leaf. The vehicle becomes a hazard to my wife and other drivers. Or imagine virginia, i95 n heading for dc where traffic is both heavy and fast-moving. A slow vehicle merging is nearly impossible in some places. And now a vehicle dies in the center lane. Boom. If this was the failure of a wear item and could not be helped, that would be one thing. But chrysler/jeep knew they were putting out bad transmissions for years and did nothing. In our case champion in mississippi misdiagnosed the problem as the throttle body and replaced it. The problem remained. Bayside in virginia replaced the throttle body again, the transmission and then the wire harness. The problem persists and is worsening. We are in our 5th year of dealing with this. This little fiat trans is too small and weak for a midsize suv. Any vehicle, midsize or larger, with this cvt transmission in it should be taken off the road. Date below and original mileage reading are approximate. Problem continues to this day. Please help us.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
