A friend of mine has a 2009 Patriot with 150k on it. This past summer it started having issues with the transmission overheating and the engine going into limp mode. It happens on hot days running down the interstate at 70mph. This is a CVT transmission. The transmission shop installed an extra cooler and did a fluid change out. But the issue still happens every so often. The shop wants to R2 the transmission. It runs fine unless it is hot out and you really work it. I'm thinking there is a sensor that is malfunctioning. Anyone have any experience with this specific transmission?
When the fluid was changed out it wasn't burnt or off color, still looked good.
