Description of the problem	When i put my car into reverse it makes this baring grind noise even when i am going into reverse. It continues to make this noise as i am driving. Also sometimes it will stop but then start again when i make a turn and continue making the grind or baring noise. Also if i am at a stop light and i press the gas paddle it makes this grind noise. When i looked up recall for this i had found exactly what it could be and my vin number said it wasnt for recall. Also. I noticed when i would put my park in the park gear position it wont sometimes lock all the way. As i had read also for my car. It depends on the weather how loud it makes the noise . When it's hot its loud then cold its off and on. This happens on streets and highways. My date of happening is an educational guess. I know it was already happening when i got a recall for the oil panel thing and something else.
