| Description of the problem | I was driving on the freeway at night in heavy traffic when my car suddenly lost power. I was able to coast to the shoulder before it lost power completely. The engine was still running, but when i put it in drive nothing happened. No engine lights came on before this happened. About a week ago, i noticed the windshield wiper fluid wasn't working and refilled it. It worked one time. When i tried to use it yesterday, it only worked in the back and not in the front. I had it towed to a transmission dealer and they are looking at it now. |
