Cracked cooler tube caused transmission oil & coolant to mix causing transmission failure.
A faulty radiator caused my transmisson and coolant to leak together causing damage to the transmission. Now my transmission needs to be replaced.
Purchased this vehicle for my wife, while she was driving down the freeway in rush-hour in August in phoenix, the vehicle started smoking and lost all power to the transmission, I noticed the transmission cooler had failed and sprayed fluid all over the engine,-this all happened with zero warning and no service indicator lights were activated. I towed the vehicle to my house and inspected further, called the dealership and they said at 120k I no longer qualify for a warranty covered repair even though the service department is very much aware of this problem. I'm now facing a repair by myself or pay a mechanic to fix an obvious design flaw.
