Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My vehicle has sustained two complete transmission failures within 50k miles of usage. the first failure occurred around 25k miles while trying to get out my driveway. the second failure occurred around 50k miles while traveling on a highway at 65 mph. luckily, i was able to make it into the breakdown without incident (only because of light traffic conditions). in both cases, the transmission was replaced under warranty service, so i don't have a complaint about that aspect. i do worry about the fact that two transmission failures occurring at around 25k miles apart suggests a pattern of failure. *nm
