Default Re: New and need some quick help

OK so back from the dealership and everything seemed fine until I left the gym (about 2hrs later) and wouldn't shift from 2nd again??????? WTF??????????

They charged me for a tranny filter, fluid, gasket, and labor ($259.00) and did the oil and 38 point inspection (passed everything).

So here are a few things I noticed and will continue to try to narrow down the issue (daily driving) and please remember that I AM NOT very fix it savvy so I'll try my best.

Lefter dealership with car in auto and switched to "S". Drove it like I stoled it and everthing worked like a charm (made me smile). Came home and got ready for the gym. Left for gym and no issues at all. Now I'm going to mention this but I'm not sure that it matter but it might, each time (dealership and home) I put the car right in drive and away I went. Now when I left the gym I hit reverse and them drive, pulled out to the stop light and took off. Car took off hit second and then just stayed there (I assume 2nd as the thingy said "D") and was pulling about 5G going 40. Pulled over, shut the car off then tried something weird (i switched it to "W", no problems from my last post to today). Now when I put it in "W" I once again started the car and put it in drive and no issues on the way home. Like I said not sure if it matter but I'm trying my best to explain.

I also notice a high pitched whistle coming from underneath the car when I pulled into the garage (prob normal) not to loud in drive but switched to park and it got louder (not like bad loud but just more noticable). I went from "P" to "R" to "D" and did that a few times and every gear the noise was there just changed tunes.

I'm kind of getting stumped here but hopefully I can figure it out. Also I never have put it back in manual (or whatever it's called as that started all my issues it seems like).

What I'm going to try to do is switch from "S" to "W" and do some reverse and forward test and see if I get different result in the 2 different setting.

I thought the fulid might do the trick but I'm just not that lucky. I have 800 miles to put on until the warranty kicks in but it might be a fix I can just get done before that. I pulled a carfax on it and it's only had 2 owners and I'm the 3rd and at 62000 miles it should be something simple I hope ( Hell maybe it me doing something wrong).

Sorry for the long post but you peeps seem to know these car so well, the dealer said "wow i've never seen one of these before" and that kind of scared me..............lol
