| Description of the problem | I was driving vehicle (van) on a busy road and the rpm gage suddenly surged but the vehicle lost all power. I had to coast the van to the side of the road. I turned off the van and restarted it. The van would not engage in drive or reverse. I could not move the van and called for a tow truck. The van had been working perfectly. No loud noises or any difficulty shifting during or prior to the transmission failure. The transmission had to be replaced with a power train, and new torque converter by aamco for $3,008. 52 i understand a complaint is already under investigation action #ea09019 there was not any fluid leaking all the damage was internal. |
