Description of the problem	The car was buzzing under the hood, left-sided, when i first bought it from the dealership in a used condition. This buzzing sound appear when it is around 1. 75 rpm. The buzzing got worsened recently and escalated to a mechanical grinding sound. The grinding sounded like metal pieces colliding on each other and was so loud that the people on the entire street could hear. It was the worst (most frequent) when the car started up cold or in any gears for driving (r, d, ds). When the car was at p or n, the sound didn't come on as often. Even after warming up the car, the sound was there at 1. 5-1. 75 rpm, no matter at what speed. As long as it reached that range of rpm, the sound accompanied. I am afraid this costly problem (~$4000 to replace cvt transmission) will continue to worsen and stop working or burn at some point while driving, leading to a safety concern.
