Transmission made a loud scraping noise as I started out from a stop. It was hard to get the car going, but I got the car to go a short distance (about 1/4 mile) but it was too difficult to drive. When I pulled over, I heard the scraping again. I had to call twice for a tow; the first driver said there was nothing wrong except oil under the car. I could not get it going, so I had it towed by a second driver to the closest dealer, who refused to consider that the transmission might have a problem and the fluid might be from that. He refused to check the car unless I paid $110 upfront. Since he had taken out the oil filter, I told him to change the oil; they finally did after some time and then when thet tried to drive it, they could not get it to go more than 10 mph, and decided it was the transmission. They kept the car and did not give me a work order, which is contrary to California state law. I had to call the next day to insist that they email it to me. It took seven days for the part to arrive and for them to fix the car, which I picked up on March 5. I am currently having pickup problems in the lower gears (from 0 to 35 mph) with the new transmission.
