Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I also have had some major transmission failures. my orginal transmission failed on the freeway while going apprx. 65 mph, the transmission appeared to down shift into park or first gear. this problem came without any warning. at those speeds you can only emagine what my back and neck felt like, not to mention all the cars that were skidding behind me attemping to avoid an accident. when this failure occurs there are no brake lights to indicate your slowing down or stopping. the transmission was replaced (no questions asked) than, around 1200 miles later another massive failure. again back to the dealer for them to replace the transmission and try again. this car should be removed from the streets and i should be paid back the money i've invested. these transmissions are a huge safty problem. could this problem get any worse ???????*ak
