Re:tow vehicle
Windbreaker, the others are the Honda Pilot and Acura MDX. Those are the only others using that 5 speed. They have apparently had only 10 out of 600,000 fail to the point of lock-up which isn't many unless your's is one of them. They can view the internals with a scope through the fill hole so it should go quickly. Mine is working fine at 28K so I'd be surprised if it needs fixing.
As for not being able to hold in 4th, I suppose it would have cost them another $0.49 per vehicle to provide that so it likely didn't make the cut when competing with more important stuff like 1-1/2 cup holders per possible occupant.
