What owners wrote
The car seems to be making a whining noise when first started from the transmission or torque converter, while in park, neutral. Also a rattling noise in reverse and drive! Also on uphill roads from a stand still the transmission slips and makes a loud noise without accelerating occasionally. Also there seems to be a vibration coming from the car in higher speeds of 40+ and rubber banding when in slow less than 15 MPH.
Am having to replace both front axles at 81k miles. Dealer estimate is $1300.00. Hard to believe that axles go bad this early in car's life.
