| Description of the problem | I was driving apx. 40 mph when the rpm gauge vamped up high then back down then the vehicle lost all power. Was able to coast to shoulder of road. We have had no past issue/symptoms what so ever. Myself and my four children were left on the side of the road waiting for help on a very cold day. Once the vehicle was towed, to a repair shop, the diagnosis: internal transmission failure, also mentioned was shaft broke inside transmission, the radiator would have to be replaced due to metal shavings, the transmission cooler/combo will have to be replaced and lines flushed. The repair cost: $3,363. 43. Nothing has been done to correct/fix this issue because we don't have $3,363. 43 to correct/fix this issue. No icons/warning lights, no messages on my dash message board. No warning! |
