Consumer Description

THE INITIAL PROBLEM WAS THAT THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE TRANSMISSION COOLER INSIDE THE RADIATOR HAD BROKEN. THIS FLOODED THE COOLANT SYSTEM WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID, WHICH THEN CIRCULATED THROUGH THE ENGINE. THE COOLANT/WATER MIX ALSO LEAKED INTO THE TRANSMISSION AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. CORRECTIVE ACTION TAKEN - REPLACE RADIATOR, ALL HOSES, AND TRANSMISSION. *TR
