Description of the problem | This complaint is regarding 3 issues since my vehicle purchase mid april of this year. The vehicles mileage at purchase was 7 miles and currently has approx. 6100 miles on odometer. The 3 issues are: #1) regularly while driving my vehicle at approx. 45-50 mph there is a steady humming noise coming from the engine compartment on the drivers side that last about 30-45 seconds. #2) also while driving my vehicle in traffic and coasting without pressing gas or brake going approx. 5-10mph the engine will shutter and cause the car to shake. The engine feels like its going to stall but i always press the gas petal so it continues driving without stalling since i'm always on the freeway when it occurs #3) involves the same or similar driving environment as issue #2. This issue occurs while coasting at various speeds unlike issue #2 where the cause feels like it could be the engine this is more like the transmission slipping into different gears mostly downshifting since the car suddenly jerks back as though you slammed on your brakes for a second and it regularly happens only while car is coasting at various speeds which i'm regularly doing since i drive down the cajon pass sitting in traffic every day, while coasting it happens almost every 90-120 seconds. On 7/21 i contacted my dealership and received a appointment for 7/22 since these issues could cause something very serious to happen to my wife or myself. Though i have not had my car looked at by my dealership yet, i still wanted to make this report to insure that other owners are aware of the issue i'm facing, and this hopefully gets investigated thoroughly (by a third party) before someone gets seriously injured in a accident. |
