no it is still there, but not as strong....mostly after it rains now.

I am continuing to monitor.
Adding insult to injury, the car has "jumped" out of 1st gear twice on me...supposedly this was only on the older models. I also have a hell of a time with 1st and 2nd gear at anything over 5 miles an hour. Me and this car are not off to a good start.
