2 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 09/02/2010

Transmission fails at highway speeds. Dashboard says its in drive but when you rev the engine its in neutral. I had to coast off the highway and restart the engine. It worked fine, but isn't it dangerous losing power in the middle of the highway with tractor trailers coming at you at full speed from behind? this isn't the first time it has happened. It happened many times before.
