Description of the problem | While under mild acceleration (from approx. 30mph to 40mph) the transmission coolant line failed, spraying transmission fluid throughout the engine compartment, and causing 1 or more drive belts to slip from the tension system, and wrap themselves around the cooling fan shaft. This resulted in an immediate reduction in power to the vehicles driveshaft,, creating a dangerous driving condition. The friction from the belts binding began to heat up the rubber, and could have caused a fire, which, with transmission fluid sprayed throughout the engine compartment could have immediately engulfed the engine in flame. Vehicle was stopped immediately and towed to a dealership, who acknowledged the transmission coolant line as the point of failure. |
