In owners' own words
I am having issues with hard shifting when it has been idle or parked for a while. Hesitation when in lower speeds, jerking with acceleration. Jumping and hard jerking when I first start in the morning I have almost hit my garage door several times from the jerking and hard rocking. It started around 13000 miles I am at 16000 and its progressively getting worse Power train
I noticed a "scrubbing or grinding noise" in the rear end when I first get in the car after it has been sitting for a while. The noise is very noticeable when I make turns. Then after the vehicle is driving for a few minutes.. It goes away.I took it to 2 different dealerships, they both told me, it was normal, and these performance cars "has to be driven".. Power train
I bought my car in sept. 2016 After the first couple of months at random times the transmission makes a boom sound when slowing down from speeds over 55 mph or during acceleration from stop and go rush hour traffic it's as if the transmission has to catch up with the accelerator. I get monthly diagnostics and nothing shows up as an issue. Power train · reported at 800 miles
