The car started making a noise while in park or neutral. After a few weeks, began making a whining noise while going in reverse in addition to the noise it was making while in park and neutral. It is now in the transmission shop and costing me $2,500 to fix many of the components with the transmission including the bearings; torque converter, flush kit and some other things; along with labor. I have read where this transmission should be recalled.
The car started leaking transmission fluid. I took it to the repair shop and the torque converter was bad. There have been alot of complaints about the transmission in this car and there is not a recall at this time.
