Tranning fluid is leaking from quik connect on radiator. Has this been a problem for anyone? Is there another way 2 fix this leak other then changing out the transmission line hose and or fixtures leading into radiator?

No recalls on it so it isnt a common problem witih the vehicle.

You could use sealant to seal it, but the proper way to do it is to put on a new quick connector or to have a shop put on a threaded line.

The quick connect fittings are inexpensive and easy to change. You can get them at the dealer.
