The transmission started not shifting as I was driving down the road and the relay fuse box caught on fire and I think it-??s where the back seat lays on top of the fuse box which rubs the fuses. Which is dangerous bc it catches on fire and could blow the car up while driving

As I began to enter a major highway my transmission failed, car would not drive forward. I almost was struck my an eighteen wheeler(tractor-trailer). The forward drive band completely broke in the transmission suddenly without warning.
