Driving in the highway but abruptly it slowed down and can't speed up while I was in the traffic, it was almost bumped to stop, terrifying trucks were chasing behind me. This is a transmission failure. Terrible, and a big safety issue too.

Transmission overheated on the freeway, blew out temperature gauge and no longer shifted after that. Speed sensor stopped working. Had to get rebuilt transmission and transmission cooler and several other parts replaced. The repair only lasted 6 months before the transmission went out again. It just slipped gears and stopped shifting in the middle of the road.
