The contact owns a 2004 Dodge Neon. While driving approximately 35 mph the vehicle began to decelerate. The contact exit the vehicle and noticed transmission fluid leaking underneath it.

3 Transmission Fluid Leaking problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2007

The radiator cracked which leaked coolant into the transmission and damaged transmission which ended up costing me over $2,000 to replace. The coolant line or whatever runs into the transmission so when the radiator line or whatever cracks it allows coolant to to mix with transmission fluid and damages the transmission.
