After turning a corner, the vehicle intermittently shut off, causing me to coast through a red light. In doing so, I was struck by an oncoming vehicle. Both vehicles were totaled in the accident. Three people involved in this accident were injured, including myself. In a seperate incident, the radiator blew apart, leaking coolant and transmission fluid. Dealership found vehicle leaking from top of transmission line from radiator. They replaced coupler fitting and O-ring and added 6 quarts of transmission fluid (at their expense).
