There were noticeable transmission symptoms from the very beginning; namely, hard shifts and whining of the gears at the torque converter in the transmission housing. Over the course of 100,000 miles, instrument panel warnings from electric components associated with drive assist features began to light up. The car was taken to the dealership where it was purchased for a diagnostic procedure resulting in the battery being replaced but to no avail. Over the course of the next 50-55,000 miles, every warning light for every safety feature were triggered. Rear cross traffic alert, rear camera failure, lane departure, high beam headlight indicator, primary collision system, secondary collision system, and an entire host of other drivetrain/transmission related warning indicators. Ultimately, the transmission gave out while in transit and the vehicle wouldn't move in any gear resulting in untimely transmission failure. so much for elite drivability!
Total transmission failure, the car will not move, went out on me while I was driving. I don't have the money to get her repaired, have to default on loan and then file bankruptcy to discharge the debt. This totally sucks.
The problem started with a rattling sound in the left of the engine compartment. The dealership replaced the left axle, but the sound was still present, which they located as an interior transmission problem. The car only has 57,000 miles, mostly highway. The vehicle is out of warrantee by time, and they would not give a grace period. They want $11,000 to put in a used (rebuilt) transmission.
