Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2000 plymouth neon lx lost power at an intersection, i had it towed, found out that a hose (that i believe either connected the radiator and the transmission or was for the radiator only, not sure, wasn't explained very well to me) had fallen out for no apparent reason, causing all of the fluid to leak out. when taken to a dealership, i had to have the radiator replaced, luckily my transmission was ok. about one minute before it happened, i noticed the car was shifting hard, and seemed like it was trying to shift while i was stopped at the intersection. by the time the light turned, most of whatever fluid was already gone.
