“While driving at 70mph on interstate 65 near montgomery, alabama there was a sudden transmission failure in our 2002 Honda Odyssey resulting in the front wheels locking up and the vehicle skidding to a halt. The vehicle came to rest in the left lane of the interstate. We exited the vehicle quickly and called 911. A couple of squad cars responded within a few minutes. We could not disengage the transmission so were unable to push the vehicle to a safe place. There were some close calls but no accidents from other vehicles trying to avoid our stranded minivan. …”

While driving on the freeway my tire went flat. The dealer said that the low PSI caused the rim to 'chew-up' the inside of the sidewall of the tire. My vehicle is a 2002 Honda Odyssey.”
