| Description of the problem | Transmission cooler lines started leaking and were of the plastic self tightening. Dealer replaced leaking one with regular hose clamp and solved problem, later had to have other connection replaced for the same failure. If this had happened while enroute on interstate, within minutes the transmission would have emptied and caused severe damage to the vehicle and possible loss of control or fire by excess oil coming in contact with the exhaust or catalytic converter. I consider a very serious problem that is a very inexpensive fix to 25 cent clamps. *nm |
