So i'm driving and I hear a grinding noise coming from underneath the center console storage compartment the grinding noise goes away once the car is driving at normal speeds.
upon take off is when I'm experience this issue.

I live in the San Jose, I'm trying to find a good genuine mechanic who honest any recommendations let me know
How many miles? I now know of FOUR cars that needed new flex discs, all cars had 150,000 to 220,000 miles on them and three were making noises that make you think the car was falling apart at low speeds.

My suspects are: Flex disc (I think so), differential (probably not) or wheel bearings (really don't think so). And I'd almost bet money on flex disc.
Who will take a $50 bet?
