My transmission was having issues with shifting. Lights flashed on dashboard.
The vehicles rearend (differential) develops a howling noise, noticable at 40+ mph. This same problem has occurred twice before. The dealership has replaced the rearend on two previous occassions. The noise is starting to occur again, if replaced this would be the fourth rearend.
Transmission failed at 400 miles. When backing out vehicle accelerated, forcing the driver to apply pressure to the brakes.
