My transmission cooler lines were leaking and I'm concerned about it due to the transmission fluid being a combustible material. If this material dripped onto a hot exhaust and ignited while parked in the "attached" garage of our home, it could pose a major safety hazard. . . Not to mention it could do to the neighbors home being relatively close. Thank you for your time.

Dealer representatives confirm (unofficially) that they are aware a problem exists with this line.
