1 Transmission Failure problem

Failure Date: 09/25/2000

I feel this posed a safety problem by the transmission failing to respond while changing lanes on a freeway traveling 65mph, literally placing my life in danger.

2 Transmission Failure problem

Upon breaking from both low and highway speeds, tremendous vibration in the steering column and brake pedal. Have had brakes checked by 3 different dealers on numerous occassions, the last time requiring replacement of the rotors and prblem still exists/returned. Also, while driving at slow speed (less than 15 miles/hours) the transmission failed without any indication requiring a total replacement just barely past mfg warranty exppired.
