On hot days car began leaking automatic transmission fluid from assumed vent on top of cable shifter linkage.

Regardless if someone is in the car or not. The horn will go off all times of day or night. It is a honk. Honk. . . . Hoooooonk. . . . . Hoooooooonk. Best way to describe it is someone is angry or an emergency is taking place and other drivers need to move. It is random on when this will happen.
Tl- the contact owns a 2010 Dodge Journey. The contact stated the dip stick for the transmission will leak after the vehicle has run for more then 70 miles and fully heats up. The transmission fluid will boil up and come out the top of the stick and leak down around the engine. The contact has had the dealer look at the vehicle when it has been taken in for service, but the dealer never ran and tested the vehicle the way it would fail during long term driving. The contact stated that the other leaks were fixed, but this one remained an issue. The manufacturer gave them a three year extended warranty because of the leaks, but told the contact they would do no more repairs to the vehicle after that. The vehicle had not caught fire, but the transmission fluid leaks onto the manifold. The current mileage was 20000. Rl.
