Consumer Description

JERKING UPON GEARS CHANGING.. GRINDING SOUND UPON ACCELERATION AND WHEN TURNING LEFT. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY DETERMINED AT 900 MILES THE CAR NEEDED A NEW CLUTCH. THIS WAS REPLACED THINKING IT WOULD FIX THE SHIFTING ISSUES AND THE GRINDING NOISE. THE GRINDING NOISE CAME BACK YESTERDAY AS WELL AS THE CAR TRYING TO CUT OFF AND IDLING VERY LOW AT STOP SIGNS/STOP LIGHTS.. THE GRINDING CONTINUED THROUGH 3RD GEAR. THE DEALERSHIP IS STILL TRYING TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS SOUND. REPLACING THE CLUTCH DID FIX THE JERKING AND HARD SHIFTING ISSUES HOWEVER THE GRINDING SOUND IS STILL AN ISSUE. *TR
