Vehicle with 43,000 miles experienced major transmission failure. While entering intersection, vehicle came out of gear and accelerated as if in neutral, then clunking into gear and lunging forward. Maintenance schedules show that transmission requires no servicing until 50,000, yet warranty only lasts until 36,000. Manufacturer is misrepresenting life of transmission causing unsafe conditions due to a defective product.
