Description of the problem	I am having the same problems i have read about with the 2011 2. 4 engine. Sudden loss of power when the pedal is depressed, stalling upon acceleration, jerking motion and a loud clanking noise when shifting from park, hard shifts from 1st and 2nd gear, and a constant whirring noise in the motor while driving, not while in park. I believe the same defect that affected the transmission on the 4 cylinder engines needs to be investigated on the v6 engines.
