The car make a loud crackle sound when I make a left turn, and also my transmission starting acting up. I took it back to the dealership where I purchase it from and they told me nothing was wrong, and I had the extended warranty, but I took it upon myself and took it to a transmission shop and I was then told that I need a new transmission. So the dealer lied to me and now my warranty ran out and they won't fixed it. What can I do. I also see alot of recall for my car that no one never sent me info about.
