general problems of the 2005 Mitsubishi Endeavor

I was using an exit to merge into the highway and when I merged, the vehicle completely lost power. I could hear the engine working but no power to the vehicle. A semi almost totaled me but thank god it merged thanks to another driver. The rolled barely making it to the side of highway and found out the transmission blew out. I want to make this perfectly clear: I do routine maintenance conducted at professional shops for all oil changes and or other issues religiously and the miles on vehicle aren't high. In other words, I almost lost my life because of this with no working vehicle to add. This incident happened in a busy highway. No acceleration, reverses or anything else other than park. The mechanics told me that this model comes with a cheap filter that allows anomalies such as poorly made material from the SUV or others to slowly get in the transmission. As stated before, I regularly keep up maintenance to this vehicle. I don't know how this happened but a good transmission all of a sudden died and I too almost lost my life from a semi doing 75 on a highway.

I was pulling into an apartment parking lot at 3 miles per hour or less applied brake and car surged forward. I applied more pressure to brake and the car surged again and would not stop. This caused me to crash into a unoccupied parked car which banged another unoccupied car parked next to it. All 3 cars were damage. My car and the car I hit sustained front end damage. The third car was scraped along the driver side door and rear panel. There was a witness to this accident that told the responding California chp officer that he saw my car experience two surges as I slowly entered the parking. He also informed the office that he saw my break lights on before the first surge happened.
