| Component | POWER TRAIN |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | While driving, the vehicle began making a very faint whining noise. I stopped at a red light, and then the vehicle had trouble accelerating. I was able to make it home, but the vehicle wouldn't make it up the driveway; it kept rolling backwards. After reading over 100 complaints with the same problem, i'm pretty irate to find out there was a recall, but my vin# isn't included. The warranty also covers the powertrain up to 60k miles and i'm at 61832, just over the warranty. I shouldn't have to replace my transmission on a 4 year old vehicle, when numerous others are complaining of the same problem and other vehicles of the same make/model are under recall. |
