Consumer Description

IN THE SUMMER OF 2016, THE CVT TRANSMISSION STARTED OVERHEATING. IT WAS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, AS THE CAR WOULD LOSE POWER ON THE HIGHWAY. YOU WOULD HAVE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER AND SIT THERE FOR 20 MINUTES FOR THE CAR TO COOL DOWN. HOWEVER, WHEN WE WOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER IT WOULD NOT SHOW ANY ERROR CODES. THIS HAPPENED MANY TIMES. WE FINALLY TOOK IT TO ANOTHER DEALER AND THEY HAD HEARD OF THIS ISSUE. IT WOULD HAPPEN VERY OFTENON DAYS WITH HIGH OUTSIDE TEMPS. THE OTHER DEALER REPLACED THE CVT TRANSMISSION LAST SUMMER UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER, THIS MAY AS SOON AS IT STARTED TO HEAT UP OUTSIDE, IT STARTED AGAIN.AGAIN NO CODES WHEN THEY CHECK. THIS IS HAPPENING EVERY DAY. NOW THE DEALER REFUSES TO HELP. FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ON THE INTERNET, THIS ISSUE IS WAY TO COMMON ON THIS TRANSMISSION.
