Description of the problem | 108,000 miles going down expressway at 75 mph when the transmission catastrophically failed and had to coast onto the side of the expressway. Complete transmission at just over 100,000 miles on a 2014 (only 3 years) old is not acceptable and could create unsafe driving conditions. I was fortunate to be able to coast to the shoulder. |
