When car is coming to a stop the transmission/engine rumbles. It has been this way for a couple of years (every day) but on the 2 occassions I took it to the dealership they could not find anything.
Nar 2/10/2003. The vehicle required transmission replacement after only 32,000 miles. When the vehicle was service at 29,566 the mechanic noted that oil was in the transmission and therefore they would not honor the warranty. The consumer had the repairs done by a independent mechanic who found that the bearing on the transfershaft was falling apart, burning the transmission fluid which caused the brown color. The left front window would not roll up.
While foot on the brake pedal to stop, vehicle bucked or surged forward before I could reach park to turn off the car. Notice smoke coming out of the right side of the hood.
