Description of the problem | For two months i've been hearing a scraping/grinding noise below my car from time to time. Before i heard the noise although, whenever i drove my car i would feel this hesitation in the car when i would accelerate. Today i took it to the mechanic from the dealer because i couldn't take the grinding noise any more and thought that maybe something below my car fell off or something. They then tell me that it is my transmission and that the hesitation from the car is also because of the transmission. I was in shock! I only have 18 months with this car it's brand new and i'm already having transmission problems?! This is ridiculous. God forbid i waited another day or week what would have happened to my car while on the road? |
