“Was traveling on the highway at approximately 45 MPH, glanced at the passenger side mirror and noticed grey smoke coming from the back of the vehicle within a few seconds the check engine light came on. I stopped at a traffic light before a safe pull over spot was available. Once light changed to green, vehicle would barley move even with increased throttle pressure. Got the vehicle to a safe spot off the highway. Noticed a lot of transmission fluid flowing from under the vehicle. Had to have vehicle towed to dealer.”
