While driving the vehicle one of the fittings for the automatic transmission cooling lines came loose and caused the fluid to leak, almost creating a fire. The fluid leaked on the brake pads which increased the stopping distance. The dealer was notified about the problem immediately. The problem with the transmission fitting line was corrected, but consumer still experiences a problem with the brakes.
