What owners wrote
When going about 55 MPH my car starts to get very loud, nothing seems to be wrong it's as if there's a leaf blower inside the vehicle. As I slow down, use the brakes, the sound slowly gets more quiet.
I was driving down a 35 MPH road, trying to push the gas to get to 35 MPH, but it failed and revved the engine and RPM without increasing my speed. I was going 20 MPH and worried that my speed would affect other cars behind me to possibly hit me. There is some noise coming from the engine. It happened three times within less than a mile so I pulled over off the road to check and still unsure. The car is still brand new and only at almost 16,000 miles.
