Complaint Description: i have discovered the transmission dip stick/fill cap missing on three separate occasions. unknown how long i drove without dip stick each time. first time i had the transmission fluid purged, but dealer stated plug must have worn out. each time the fluid level became very low. i believe an internal preasure is causing the plug to blow out. i have since tied a string to the plug so that i will not lose the plug. unknown damage to transmission due to low fluid or dirt contamination.*ak .
