| Description of the problem | Well i have noticed that i have a bad vibration and grinding noise between 1,200 and 1,800 rpm's worst at 1,500. This happens no matter what speed. I have brought it in to the dealership 2 different times for this and they tell me this is normal. I am sorry but when a transmission is vibrating or making bad noises like this it has something wrong with it. I believe this is contributing to my very poor gas mileage. Also while from a stop and accelerating i have had my car surge and have no power while trying to accelerate. This has happened three times and 2 of the times i had a car come up on me fast because i was not able to accelerate. This can be a big safety issue. |
