What owners wrote
The transmission cooler is located in the radiator and cracked. This results in the mixture of anti-freeze and transmission fluid. So the ending result is anti-freeze in the transmission and transmission fluid in the radiator. The transmission starts slipping then fails.......there is a long list of problems with this at the edmunds car web site. [link removed]
