Description of the problem | While my wife and daughter were returning from a short shopping trip, the transmission started to make a "clunk" noise when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. Immediately upon her return home, i drove the van around the block, stopping at each intersection. The "clunk" repeated every time the transmission shifted from 1st to 2nd. I called the dealer and described to the service department what was happening, and he said that we needed to bring it in, although that was obvious to us. The question was whether or not it was safe to drive. He said that he thought that it was since it didn't make any noise in the higher gears. The next morning, i drove it to the dealer, and of course, nothing happened. They had two technicians drive it, and they could not replicate the condition. They also hooked it up to the diagnostic machine, and they said that it showed nothing. Well, all i can say is that it was not "nothing", but they said they couldn't do anything further and to just bring it in if it happened again. I explained that we were about to go on a 3,000 mile trip, and it would be difficult to bring it in while on the road. Even though the van is only 1 year old, and has only 6,700 miles on it, i think my wife is ready to trade it in. |
