“Transmission cooler and lines are above a skid plate/shield that retains road gravel. The retained road gravel rubbed on the transmission cooler and rubber hoses leading to a significant leak of transmission fluid right above the driver's side tire. The engine, transmission, exhaust system and whole undercarriage of the SUV was covered in transmission fluid. We were fortunate that the vehicle did not start on fire. In addition, the driver's side tire, wheel and brakes were also covered in transmission fluid. We were fortunate that the vehicle did not experience a brake failure. …”
