“Coolant from my radiator got into my transmission and damages my transmission and transmission computer in 2015 and I had to have it replaced.

Needless to say that is exactly what happened and we were never informed of this problem. …”

I rode the brakes, as the car continued forward some 50 60 ft in a rapid bucking motion until I was able to put the transmission in neutral and turn off the engine.
