Hmmm ok, thanks for the info. To clarify the sound, it sounds like a balled up piece of paper when it hits the ground from a height of 2-3 feet. Just not that loud, a little softer.

 

yup, that's what happend to me too. i'll search for my thread on this months ago, or you can if you want. but if you bring it it now they will probably change out the fluid to see what's in there if there's any metals in it, and change what ever is necessary.

 

I did search for the problem a while back but I probably didn't search the right keywords. If you have the link on hand that would be very helpful, thanks. But I'll look through all the threads you've created and see if I can find it.

What exactly did you complain about to the dealer to have them check that specific problem? Like did you complain about the noise it made or something else?

Thanks

 

If I still worried about **** like this, I'd end up not running the car at all. Just drive the damn thing.

 

I do drive it. I just don't want problems down the road. And its obvious now from the above posts that this is an issue worth getting checked. I had written it off a few days ago, but now its back on my list.

 

if there's a hint that something might be wrong, its worth getting it checked out before something else happens. he has the right to worry. dont you think?

anyways, get t checked out. have the tech drive it with you in the car and point out the sound, if he says its normal, leave and find another dealership that has techs with good ears haha. when i let the tech drive my car it was obvious something was wrong, they couldnt get it into reverse, and 6th pop'd out on occassion.. depends on speed/load etc.

 

Yeah I read your thread. One last question: Did you notice the problem I have and then ignored it, which led to the more serious problems you had? Or did it happen all at once for you.

 

an idea... you are going to the dealer in the morning correct?

you have gotten a big big pass here... you might just go to the dealer and report back with issuse you still have...

beers

 

I actually have to reschedule for Tuesday. But swoope, I had written this problem off hours after I created this thread based on the early responses I got. Thought this thread was dead until Crazy came on and echoed my problem.

 

cool,

you need to ride with a tech and make sure they hear the problems and write them down...

you give them the issues let them fix them.... dont tell them what they are and how to fix them...

just good advice...

beers

 

definitely good advice. I made the mistake of taking my car to a dealership and told them that the brakes squeak and I want them to perform the TSB. Left it overnight, and the next day they tell me "Could no Duplicate".

 

that is why you make them hear it...

beers

btw... you need to be steelbluedink it is brilliant

 

K, swoope, appointment at 10:15am tomorrow. I'll report back with all the details.

Problems I will have checked:
-Possible transmission/u-joint problem from this thread
-Squeaky brakes
-Neverending buzzing from passenger side while moving
-high frequency buzzing from interior at 5k+ RPMs (just started today)
-Steering allignment

Hopefully I'll be able to replicate all those problems in a single test-drive with a tech in the car.
