I WAS USING AN EXIT TO MERGE INTO THE HIGHWAY AND WHEN I MERGED, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE WORKING BUT NO POWER TO THE VEHICLE. A SEMI ALMOST TOTALED ME BUT THANK GOD IT MERGED THANKS TO ANOTHER DRIVER. THE ROLLED BARELY MAKING IT TO THE SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND FOUND OUT THE TRANSMISSION BLEW OUT. I WANT TO MAKE THIS PERFECTLY CLEAR: I DO ROUTINE MAINTENANCE CONDUCTED AT PROFESSIONAL SHOPS FOR ALL OIL CHANGES AND OR OTHER ISSUES RELIGIOUSLY AND THE MILES ON VEHICLE AREN'T HIGH. IN OTHER WORDS, I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS WITH NO WORKING VEHICLE TO ADD. THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN A BUSY HIGHWAY. NO ACCELERATION, REVERSES OR ANYTHING ELSE OTHER THAN PARK. THE MECHANICS TOLD ME THAT THIS MODEL COMES WITH A CHEAP FILTER THAT ALLOWS ANOMALIES SUCH AS POORLY MADE MATERIAL FROM THE SUV OR OTHERS TO SLOWLY GET IN THE TRANSMISSION. AS STATED BEFORE, I REGULARLY KEEP UP MAINTENANCE TO THIS VEHICLE. I DON'T KNOW HOW THIS HAPPENED BUT A GOOD TRANSMISSION ALL OF A SUDDEN DIED AND I TOO ALMOST LOST MY LIFE FROM A SEMI DOING 75 ON A HIGHWAY.
