This behavior happened a few times in the past according to my wife. The last time happened on 1/30/09 while i was driving on a city street under normal speed and suddenly the transmission lost power, the d drive failed to engage. I immediately move the gear shift several time to re-engage the d gear. Very unsafe, unpredictable and scare in a busy street. *tr

The dealers scan tool indicated absence of any detected abnormality, but their test drive confirmed the symptom--pulsing power to the drive wheels. They told me the torque converter is failing which they don't replace nor repair so they said it…
