Automatic Transmission problem #1

When driving uphill vehicle was fine. As downgrading started, consumer noticed transmission had gone out without warning. There was no back pressure from lower gears. Vehicle still at dealer at this time.

Automatic Transmission problem #2

The f53 motorhome chassis has a severe vibration. Rv has been taken to three different heavy duty truck dealerships attempting to correct the vibration. The rear end has been replaced, 4 rear tires have been replaced, transmission has been shimmed, and tires balance several times. Vibration is still there. Hands have a tendancy to tingle from the vibration and am afraid loss of control is possible.
