    post ALL the codes that are appearing.
    there was NO issue before service?
    What was done with trans service?
    Were the 2 filters changed?
    Was correct fluid used?

    Hasn't thrown any codes that i know of other than my dash saying transmission over temp. I had a re flash done and my husband thought it was tacking higher than it should so we got it serviced. Had no issues with transmission over heating or over temp then after the first service it said transmission over heating so we took it back and had it done again both filters were checke changed and they better have put the right fluid in it. There a 5☆ dealership.

    Welcome! Have whomever serviced the trans check the trans temps while trying to replicate the problem your experiencing and confirm trans lines running through the radiator and/or auxiliary trans cooler for proper function. Take a pic of the "transmission over temp" warning for them.

    "my husband thought it was tacking higher than it should"
    My guess is that you did NOT use a jeep dealer for "service' and you did NOT check codes before spending? Am I right or Close?

    going foward -
    For sure follow up with the facility that did service- If you did NOT use a jeep dealer -
    Was the system flushed or was the pan dropped and filters changed. was the correct fluid used NOT universal or 1 type fits all ?

    Also have the system SCANNED for codes - a SCANNER needs to be used.




    TSB ....26-003-07 Flushing not recommended.

    very good - a chrysler jeep dealer eliminates some of the questions...

    I still suggest SCANNING for codes* That service is often FREE an many auto part stores-
    That would give us more info to make a decision - where as dealer charges. this will help with info to address issue with dealer- was fine till you (dealer) worked on it



    *FYI not all codes will turn on the CEL and many will not show up on key on off trick.
