1 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2011

While driving on the freeway on the way home, the engine shut off because of the transmission failure. Both power steering and brakes were lost. Had to quickly get over on the shoulder. Fortunately, not a lot of traffic. Both my grandchildren were in the car and an accident could have happened. . . . Unsafe. Took the car in and at 98000 miles was informed I needed a new transmission because the mechanic shop stated the transmission is no good and it needs replaced (diagnostic testing revealed the transmission issue).
