Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Noticed a large amount of fluid under car in the morning. after investigation, determined it was transmission fluid. the fluid level in car was very low. since it was a"special" fluid, i could not buy it at the local parts store. took a chance and drove it to the dealer. mechanic determined that it was defective "solenoid pack" and "cooler lines". parts replaced, ok since. if it had happened on the highway, it would have been a catastrophic transmission failure and possibly fire. *jb
