Description of the problem | Purchased the vehicle last saturday june 22. About 2 days after purchase the transmission started making noise shifting gears. Sounds like rocks in a aluminum coke can. It hesitates and shifts hard sometimes. Contacted dealer and was told if it should mess up i am covered by warranty. This to me is not normal and its quite scary. My car has 300 miles on it i shouldn't be having trouble like this. I read reviews from others and this seems to be a widespread issue. Also this is my first brand new car purchase and i am not very pleased. |
