Description of the problem	Felt jerking while driving at 40-45 mph to the point where it felt like i was losing control of the vehicle on the road. It felt like it would go to neutral and suddenly back into gear really hard so it would cause something like a torque pull. So, took to dealer service shop and was diagnosed as defective radiator cracked and leaked coolant fluid into the radiator cooler causing a catastrophic failure of the automatic transmission. Fortunately, didn't lose control while driving but it felt close to sometimes. I believe a less experienced driver could have lost control of vehicle.
