1 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 06/17/2004

Started when I would take off in first gear, it would vibrate really hard, like a manual transmition does when it needs to down shift. Then I was almost in a collision, when I was stopped on the side of a hill, and went to pull over, and to my surprise I rolled backwards, as if in nutral. My trasmission was gone. After a very large tow bill, and 1500 rebuilt transmission, my dim lights only work when they want to, the passenger window is to the point where it almost wont go up. . . . . There's almost too much more to go on.
