The dealership indicated that this occurred because the transmission cooler lines were defective and fluid leaked out. The manufacturer and the dealership were aware of this issue, and were installing an updated line and spring to correct the failure. The ABS lights and the brake light were on and was diagnosed as rear wheel speed sensor failure.
