Description of the problem	Turned a corner, driving below speed limit on city street, all lights within the dashboard that should have been off (4wd, service engine soon, etc.) went on, and all readings that should have been on went off (odometer, and so on). Stopped at red light; turned off vehicle hoping to reset before driving home and it would not turn on; lights, radio, a/c were still active so it was not the battery. Only able to shift to neutral with vehicle off to roll to a parking space on the side of the road. No previous issues or warning prior as i perform regular maintenance as recommended by dealership - happened suddenly. Had to have it towed to dealership the following day as it was already after midnight. This followed two attempts calling my warranty company and being disconnected; ultimately called family in the area to assist who helped me rolled the vehicle into a parking lot across the street. After tow and diagnosis, dealer found failure in the radiator (leaked coolant into transmission) and there for failure of tcm (transmission control module). Dealer claims no recall prior to this incident yet there was a class action lawsuit for this exact recall and model in the national database when i researched further after the extended warranty adjuster denied my claim for coverage. This process alone took 7-9 business days; i have been without my vehicle for 3 weeks.
