Consumer Description

MY CAR DIED ALONG SIDE THE HIGHWAY DUE TO THE TRANSMISSION SUDDENLY FAILING. WE WERE UNABLE TO MOVE IN ANY FORWARD OR REVERSE GEARS. I HAVE NEVER DRIVEN THE CAR HARD, AND ALWAYS MAINTAIN PER MANUFACTURERS SPECIFICATIONS AND GUIDELINES. 2010 IMPALA WITH 130,000 MILES. FORTUNATELY A POLICE OFFICER WAS ABLE TO PARK BEHIND US IN THE ROAD WITH HIS LIGHTS FLASHING TO KEEP CARS FROM RUNNING INTO US UNTIL WE WERE ABLE TO GET TOWED AWAY. I HAD JUST MADE A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AND THE TRANSMISSION INSTANTLY FAILED AFTER THE TURN (I HAD DRIVEN ABOUT A MILE FROM MY GARAGE TILL THE FAILURE).
