After 2 hours into a data dive, he identified a recurring problem on the days at the times and at the speeds I reported to the Dealer that the car severely malfunctioned. He diagnosed the problem to be the malfunctioning of the 4th gear solenoid. He authorized replacement of the entire transaxle/transmission.
