Outback

  • 53,543 miles
Very intermittent vibration from the transmission or drive-train that started about six weeks ago, culminating with the car shaking violently and the drive-train suddenly locking up all four wheels without warning while driving normally. Of course, vehicle control is impossible with all four wheels locked. Very fortunately, there were no vehicles following or the consequences could have been fatal at highway speeds. I"M having the car towed to our local dealer on Thursday morning.
