| Travelling on interstate, going 30 to 40 mph because of rush hour traffic. transmission starts to slip. i was lucky enough to pull car onto the shoulder and out of traffic. after towed to dealership, i'm told a plug on the radiator that connects to the transmission popped off. this caused all the transmission fluid to drain on the interstate and immobilized my car. the radiator has to be completely replaced because of this plug.*ak | |||
