Consumer was driving 50-55mph and while trying to change gears, vehicle suddenly stopped. Vehicle had 30 thousand miles on it. When dealer was contacted, dealer noted that transmission failure was caused by regular wear and tear after only 30 thousand miles.

Received recall notice 99V041000. Contacted dealership & set appointment. Took vehicle for transmission repairs & later picked it up. Smelled burning oil a week later. Took vehicle to mechanic & was informed ventilation hose was relocated at bottom of transmission. Debris was entering hose & going to transmission which was causing damage.
