“I was in motion and the trans temp light light up and my car began to stale in the middle of the highway. I was traveling alone and 4 hours away . This was very dangerous. I could have been hit by a passing truck. Luckily, I was in the left lane and was able to park on the shoulder. I had to search my safety manual to understand what was happening. I had to wait over 30 mins for the light to disengage and drive 55 on the highway. I took it to the shop and there was no signs. I did a google search and realized this is a common issue with the Jeep patriots. …”
