| Lost transmission in normal drive on a flat road , would not shift into any gear , had the vehicle towed to the dealer and they changed the filter and transmission fluid with no further investigation into the root cause of the problem. if this had happened in traffic it may have been the cause of an accident as the vehicle lost all forward motion instantly | |||
