Description of the problem	Transmission problems for the second time within the past 5 years. It was replaced on 09/01 at 47,544 miles, my check engine light came on and when i took my car to the shop they said that, the transmission was going out; the invoice states that the fluid was burnt and the torque converter was slipping. The second incident occurred on 9/23/03, coming from out of town, the overdrive light started flashing and stayed on for about 45 minutes so i stopped at a gas station and turned the car off, when i restarted the car i noticed smoke coming from under the hood. I raised the hood of my car and noticed some fluid coming out on the driver's side near the windshield and when a gentlemen came over to help, he told me that it was the transmission fluid overflowing.
