I PURCHASED THIS USED JEEP PATRIOT ON MAY 24, 2017. I BECAME AWARE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEM ON FIRST ATTEMPT LEAVE ON VACATION. I HAD BEEN DRIVING NONSTOP 45 MILES ON INCLINED ROADWAYS WHEN THE LIGHT FOR "TRANSMISSION OVERHEATING". HAD TO IMMEDIATELY TURN AROUND TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE SOLUTION WAS CHANGE FLUID CHARGE OF $437.00 WHILE ON VACATION THE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WENT BACK INTO THE DEALERSHIP THEY SAID A FILTER WAS BENT AND REPLACED IN AUGUST 2017. SINCE THEN ANYTIME DRIVE ON VERY STEEP AND INCLINED HIGHWAYS NONSTOP THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT COMES ON. MY LAST DRIVE ON MAY 19, THE HIGHWAY IS VERY MOUNTAINOUS, STEEP. AFTER FIRST CURVY MILES OF TRIP I NOTICE THE LIGHT. I PULLED OVER TO WAIT FOR CAR COOL OFF. TRYING TO GET TO MY DR.APPT HAD TO PULLOVER TWO MORE TIMES. LAST TIME THE CAR STALL. AFTER A COUPLE OF HOURS IT MOVED.
