What can we do to get Chrysler to realize this is a huge issue with these CVT transmissions and a safty issue, or does someone have to die before they admit they designed these wrong?

Asked by SilvaKat3 Jul 06, 2015 at 04:15 PM about the 2013 Jeep Compass Latitude 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Your right if we stick together to make enough noise to Chrysler maybe we can get better results.  I have a 2013 Jeep Compass I just bought used, after 3 weeks a loud whining sound and it reduced speed, pulled over to another dealer one hour being on the road, and he witnessed it after a test drive, so I drove back home to switch vehicles to continue my vacation.  The dealer in my town, said he could not find anything, and there was no error code to indicate a problem.  What if I stalled on the highway, I had my daughter and 5 year old granddaughter, a dog with me.  Now I'm afraid to drive it at long distances in fear of that happening again. Why do they depend on these error codes in order to even consider there is a problem.  Seems after an hour of driving is when this happens, told the mechanic this and they said they could not have a tech away for that length of time.

So main CVT problems are? I have about 17 days left on my used warrant. Had them check calipers not releasing, of course couldn't find anything. Second opinion zero as well. Claimed it could be a layer of rust in the AM? Bogus. How about any power steering pump problems? Oil pan leaks?

This is a rear differential problem, I'm out of warranty and have to pay 700 to get it fixed, and it's supposed to last the life of the car. If your rear differential goes out, you face the chance of your back tires locking up. Ya, scary shit.
