The contact owns a 1995 Chevrolet Suburban 1500. The ABS speed sensor in the front passenger side wheel was either disconnected or missing. The transmission shifted from first to second gear properly, but shifted from second to third or third to overdrive while revving up. When the air conditioning system was activated, smoke began pouring out of the dashboard. The current mileage was 193,767 and failure mileage was 193,000.

Seal in transmission failed allowing transmission to flood with transmission fluid and disable transmission and hence vehicle operation. Vehicle was left disabled in traffic lane for one hour waiting for tow truck. Transmission had been serviced 1,378 miles earlier on 2/24/00 by referenced dealer.
