Transmission failed with no warning while pulling into traffic, near miss, car had to be pushed from road and towed. This is the second time this transmission has failed both at 60 to 70 K miles!!! this is a product design defect and a safety defect.

Flashing od light at 68800mi, transmision began slamming into gear. Codes indicated bad torque converter, dealer service would not rebuild due to burnt transmision fluid. Replacement cost $2100. Waranty only 10000/90days. Aamco rebuilt transmision for $1750. 50000/3yr waranty. Another torque converter failure with only 2000 miles, hmmm. Third failure due to a faulty locking ring. 1000 miles with no failures so far.
