Angry Whoa, read within, i've never seen this:

Well dudes, I got a naples gold TL-S with the kit on it(rare car, bluebooked for a bit more than the average colour) and all was dandy until a few weeks ago they had to swap out our tranny (lights didn't go off, they told us they were gonna change it) when i said I'd like the oil jet kit to get put in. Turns out they got the rEBUilt(oh brother) transmission for the car. Well it worked well... for about a week. Today my dad took it on the highway to south of edmonton a place called red deer, He was 40km north of red deer and black smoke came out of the exhaust and the engine. The DANGER light came on, my dad checked the signals and it says severe injury or even possible death can occur. I've never heard of this going off on the TL trannies so I"m scared shitless. Plus I'm 17 and 3 quarters and I was due out for a g35c 6spdnavi this august (hehe sorry) and now with this tl being the sakc of shit it is (doing this really pissed me off) my dad's gonna likely buy a 330ci 2006 model

Someone please put a positive spin on this.

WTF. You're 17 and YOU drive a 03 TL-S. Daddy's boy! I am sorry couldn't resist. What do you mean danger light came on saying could cause serious injury or death?

hEH.
My dad checked the manual because he's the one driving it to the business 400km away and I had to drive his RX330 (VERY nice btw). and he said that the light that came on was the danger light in the TLS Book that said could cause serious/severe injury.
