VEHICLE LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID, DEALER STATED THAT THEY TRIED A NEW GASKET ON TRANSMISSION SWITCH ASSEMBLY. LEAK PERSISTED, DEALER STATED SWITCH (OR VALVE) WAS BAD BUT THERE WAS A NATIONWIDE BACKORDER OF AT LEAST 10,000 UNITS. I WAS ALLOWED TO TAKE VEHICLE BUT MADE AWARE TO CHECK TRANSMISSION FLUID OFTEN. THERE IS NO TSB OUT ON THIS PROBLEM EVEN THOUGH IT IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM. DEALER WILL HONOR THE WARRANTY WHENT HE VALVE COMES IN.
