Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE TRANSMISSION OVERHEAT LIGHT CAME ON.I HAD BEEN DRIVING ABOUT 45 MINUTES ON HW. THE JEEP STARTED MAKING A LOUD WHINING NOISE AND SLOWED DOWN. IT WOULD NOT GO OVER 45. IT FELT LIKE THE TRANSMISSION WAS STICKING SOME AND HAD A BIT OF A SHAKE. I PULLED IT OVER AND HAD TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC. ONCE HE LOOKED AT IT THE NEXT DAY THERE WERE NO CODES SHOWING AND IT DROVE FINE. I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS ON THIS FOR OTHER JEEPS, BUT MY VIN WAS NOT ONE OF THEM. NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THIS IS.
