| Description of the problem | We were traveling down the road at about 50 mph when all forward momentum was lost. We coasted to the side of the road where we attempted to put the vehicle into gear. The vehicle would not go into any gear. Transmission specialist suspects torque converter failure possibly transmission damage. This is extremely concerning since this vehicle is low mileage (59,129) and has a perfect maintenance history. |
