Consumer Description

I HAVE NOT HAD A CATASTROPHIC INCIDENT, YET, BUT CERTAIN TO AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE I AM EXPERIENCING FROM THE CVT TRANSMISSION IN THIS VEHICLE. SINCE ABOUT JANUARY 2015, WHILE IN PARK OR NEUTRAL, THERE IS A LOUD WHIRRING SOUND, SIMILAR TO A HELICOPTER. AFTER EXTENSIVE ONLINE RESEARCH, IT SEEMS THAT MOST, IF NOT ALL OTHERS WHO EXPERIENCED THIS SAME ISSUE EVENTUALLY LED TO CATASTROPHIC FAILURE OF THE TRANSMISSION. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE COLD WEATHER RELATED ISSUE WHERE ONCE DRIVE IS ENGAGED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND WRENCH LIGHT ILLUMINATE AND THE CAR JUST STUMBLES WHEN THE ACCELERATOR IS DEPRESSED. LETTING IT RUN FOR ABOUT 10 TO 15 MINUTES TEMPORARILY RESOLVES THE ISSUE. *TR
