| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The vehicle was experiencing problems shifting into overdrive, then once in overdrive, i was losing the capability to accelerate on the highway and other areas of speeds greater than 40 mph. I noticed transmission fluid leaking from the transmission and took it to an auto repair shop. I was informed that the transmission cooler had failed completely allowing radiator fluid to mix into the transmission fluid causing damage to the transmission. The repair for a new radiator and installation, as well as a rigorous flushing of the transmission cost $599. 00. I am currently, as of this day, in need of a new, used, or rebuilt transmission because of damage caused by the failure of the transmission cooler within the radiator. *js |
