Consumer Description

MY 2009 JEEP COMPASS OVERHEATS ON LONG TRIPS. IT DOES A HIGH PITCHED WHINING NOISE AND THEN IT SLOWS DOWN TO 40 MPH AND WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO GO FASTER. THIS IS VERY BAD WHEN YOU ARE ON INTERSTATE 5 WITH NO WAY TO PULL OVER AND GRANDCHILDREN IN THE CAR. VERY DANGEROUS. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY AND THEY FOUND "NOTHING WRONG". THEY COULD NOT "DUPLICATE" THE PROBLEM WHICH I TOLD THEM OF COURSE THEY CAN'T DUPLICATE IT THEY AREN'T TRAVELING ON A LONG TRIP. I GOOGLED IT AND I SEE THAT IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE JEEP COMPASS THAT THE DEALERSHIPS ARE NOT ACKNOWLEDGING. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE CVT TRANSMISSION AND CAN NOT BE FIXED. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES OR IS INJURED. *JS
