Automatic JK Transmission Problems POLL
2010, 16k miles. No problems.
Got my first code yesterday, P0218, overheating transmission. OD off, stayed in D and 2wd on a slight uphill dirt road. Transmission sounded a little funny on and off until I headed back down. No burning smell or anything. IIRC I had the recall/tsb thing done but I didn't get a hot oil message on the dash cluster.

sad to say i bought my jeep and i found out later every time i go for a ride at the 1st start the gear stuck at 2nd and wont shift so i have to pull over and restart again, i mean guys wtf all other cars manufactures are calling there customers and fixing there cars for free when they have factory problems but its worst to know that there isn't any fix for this just had to live with it.
my jeep is 2007 sahra 33000 km only !!!!!

8 months / 9k miles NP (knocking on wood), about to install aux transmission cooler and change transm oil. Have setup transmission oil temp monitor and very surprised that even on mild off-road in 4WD HI temp goes up to 227F on a blink on an eye, sometimes up to 237F w/o alarm. Stared to use LO more often to keep under control.
I have had the hot oil light come on but I haven't been to the dealer yet. It was on a pretty rough logging road, not used much anymore, in 4 high. It was only on for less that 60 seconds and it never came on again after that. Oil change is coming up soon so I will see what they say then. I think I had around 6,000 miles or so.
