I had just entered the interstate at approximately 10 pm in moderate to heavy traffic, accelerated to 65 mph and set the cruise control, I traveled approximately a 1/4 mile when the vehicle shuddered and immediately lost momentum while the engine r. P. M increased rapidly, I turned on the four way flashers and was nearly rear ended as I attempted to get to the right side of the roadway. I had the vehicle towed home where I found transmission fluid in the radiator , I contacted the dealer, they implied they hadn't heard of this problem but quoted an approximate repair of somewhere north of $5,000 for labor,an after market radiator and a rebuilt or junkyard salvage transmission. A quick internet search revealed numerous postings of this issue with several models with the same drive train.
