Transmission issue

So, I just bought a 2012 Jeep Liberty from CarMax in Roseville, CA with 99,950K miles on it. It was fine for a few days, but then in the second week that I had it, when I started it up in the morning, it made a funky squeaky noise when I put it in reverse. This happened the next 5 days in a row and only in the morning. So I took it to a local shop to get a dialogistic test done on it. I was told the fluid was "brown & dirty." So, I contacted CarMax and reported the issue. I took it back to them, they had AMMACO service it, but only after I insisted on it. You see, their mechanics reported that the fluid was RED and that they we unable to re-create the issues that I reported. So I get the vehicle back and all is good, right, WRONG! I decided to do the rolling "test" again to see if it was still doing it. The first test was good, it didn't roll backwards, but today, just one week later I did the "test" again and it rolled backwards just as easily as it did before. Is this normal? Should CarMax replace the transmission? What course of action can I take? I had a 30 day RETURN window, which has obviously passed, however, I reported the issue with the transmission on the 20th day of the 30 days; they didn't couldn't get it in for "service" until after the 30 days. They won't put me in another car, I asked. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My name is Nancy and my email is (impermissible content removed) Thank you, thank you very much!

    the sound will go away if you depress the brake maybe you are reversing slowly
