What owners wrote
Car was making whistling/howling sound between 30MPH-45MPH. Thought possibly a breaking in issue, but continued after 1200 miles and was most prevalent at stated MPH above. Shop stated bearing issue in drive shaft and entire drive shaft must be replaced. Concern over effect to other power train parts connected to defective drive shaft. Could not be driven until parts replaced. Definitively, a safety issue.
On inclined or hilly terrain the car rolls back even if in drive. After a complete stop due to traffic or stop sign or signals, when foot is taken off the brake pedal, the car begins to be rollback instantly. Such sudden shift of gear is scary. Reminds you of all the accidents caused by automatic shift of gear. It is a major safety issue. Never had experienced such roll back in the GM cars we previously owned. And they were less expensive cars. The car was bought in novi michgan and was taken to virginia.
