Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I was driving from ossining, ny to takoma park , md , 260 miles on i95 when at 70 mph smoke started coming out of the exhaust and the engine compartment. the tachometer went up to 7000 rpms. i was using cruise control. i immediately touched the brake pedal to release the cruise control. however, i had no power from the transmission. i was fortunately able to coast to the right side shoulder from the left most lane of the highway and call onstar. apparently the transmission had blown, and all the transmission fluid was all over the highway and the shoulder where i eventually stopped. the transmission was replaced at no cost to me. however, i was 160 miles from home. this was the second new transmission that has been replaced in this vehicle- once at 77000 miles and now at 10700 miles. *ak
