Default my gs350 just went to hell

driving home tonight my 350 starts getting the shakes, vibrating all over the place and all of the sudden the check vsc, check engine light, skid light, and the yellow ! popped up. The check engine light starts flashing and the car looses all power, no acceleration. I pull over, shut her off wait a few mins and same ****. Anyone else have the same problems? Ive read that people have gotten the same light patterns, but no one has realy said that it made the car undrivable.

Towing it back to the dealer first think in the morning. Im going to bite someones head off when i get there.

They said that the tranny was dead and they would probably have to replace the ECU as well. I will know more details on Monday when the start digging into it.

sorry to hear about that, try and keep a cool head when you speak to them. In this instance, it wasn't their fault it broke.

They were professional and curteous, so was I. But you are wrong, it is their fault that it broke. Transmissions shouldnt give out at 6k miles, not on a 50k car. I never drove it crazy, and it sure as hell isnt my fault.
