Car was running perfectly. Very suddenly it started making this horrible grinding noise. I went to pull into a parking lot and the car just stopped. I did not hit the brakes yet and was glad i was going slow. Transmission is blown with no warning, no leaks, and no noise except at the last few minutes. Had to have it towed.

I was driving at 70 mph on the interstate when the car stalled out. We were able to pull to the side of the road luckily. It did start again but stalled again if i went over 40 mph. I had replaced the transmission the week before and had a transmission place check it out. They said the transmission is fine and that the error code is for the ecm. I had taken the care back to my transmission place (certified…
