Consumer Description

THE INSIDE OF THE RADIATOR ERUPTED AND CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID AND ANTIFREEZE TO MIX. THIS CAUSED WATER TO FLOW IN THE TRANSMISSION. THE RADIATOR, RESEVOIR AND THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE ALTERNATOR HAD TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THIS FAILURE. I WAS TRAVELING ON I-95 WHEN THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED WITH NO WARNING. THERE MUST BE A DEFECT IN THE RADITOR TO ERUPT INSIDE, PLEASE INVESTIGATE, IF REQUESTED, I CAN PROVIDE REPAIR BILLS.
