Engine Decelerates On It's Own

I have a 2008 jeep patriot with 78,000 miles. when driving about 75 mph for about 25 minutes the cvt oil light comes on indicating that the cvt oil is overheated and the engine will begin to decelerate on its own. If i press the gas pedal only the rpms go up not the speed. The vehicle's operational manual states this will happen but that the vehicle should be able to resume original speed in a few seconds. my light stays on for 5-10 minutes sometimes and the car slows down so much that I have had to pull off the highway and let it cool. any idea what may be causing this?

SOURCE: Engine runs rough after about ten minutes /idles really low

Just trowing some suggestions out there, but, I would check the idle air control valve (solenoid) or the throttle position sensor. If they check out then my last guess would be the map sensor or the vaccuum to the map sensor. Hope I was able to help. Best wishes.

Hi How do I reset the CHANGE OIL REQUIRED light on the 2009 Jeep Patriot with CVT Thank you

Most if not all scan tools have an option to clear or reset codes without the use of any tools or touching the battery. Consult your tool's manual for information on how to do it with your particular model. If you want to try the fee way ,, unhook the battery , turn on the headlight switch for 10 minutes, then reconnect your battery , the codes should have cleared , if not you have to h ave them cleared with the scan tool

I have a 2009 Altima car and the transmission had to be replaced. Does Nissan have a history of problems with transmissions ?

the cvt transmissions have become a known issue, and nissan (in canada, not sure about usa) has since offered an extended warranty to 200000 KM ( 120000 M ).

Oil change light coming on

The Patroit uses a combination of engine run time, mileage, and temp to determine when the oils needs to be changed. If you do a lot of idling you could require a change sooner than the 6000 mile interval. If you do get your oil cahnged or do it by yourself, here is the way to reset the oil warning from the owners manual:
