What owners wrote

It started out as a loud thump that rocked the car when shifting into gear... That has continued but now it also when accelerating hesitates then you hear the thump and then it will accelerate. I have had this at my dealership 3 times now and they refuse to fix it. They continually say the cannot "recreate" the problem. I also have a airleak in the car that is so loud you cannot hear the radio when driving on a interstate. They are blaming that on the antenna on the outside of the car.
