Transmission Failure Problems of Chevrolet Cavalier

While driving at 45 - 50 mph on the highway the transmission completely failed, without warning and the wheels on the car locked up. The car came to a complete stop without warning and 3 cars swerved off the road to avoid a rear end collision. Once out of the car it could not even be pushed off the road. The mechanic noted that all the egears were broken and the transmission could not even be rebuilt. A transmission had to be pulled from totalled Cavalier and rebuilt to get my car running. Without the rebuilt transmission, parts could have cost up to $2500 plus labor. I was disappointed/scared that such a thing could happen without warning. Had I been driving on the interstate I could have been killed or seriously injured if another car had hit us. I was disappointed because I take very good care of my car and have never had any serious problems with it.
