Consistently reproducible problem, transmission winning when driven 20 to 30 mins at highway speeds. Trans overheat light comes on. This has been going on since day one with this Jeep. Last year, trans was replaced through Jeep assistance, the same problem still exists. Internet research shows a modification to the trans cooler, adding a second or larger cooler resolves the whine and the following trans overheat light. This issue should have been a recall as when the light comes on, you lose power and go into limp mode. It has almost resulted in multiple accidents as getting to the shoulder on a highway quickly with greatly reduced power is difficult.
