Consumer Description

NOTICE A NOISE THAT WAS SORT OF LIKE A GRINDING/GROANING NOISE WHEN IDLING AND IT WOULD GET WORSE IF I TURNED ON THE AC. THE SOUND WAS ALSO PRESENT AT LOWER RPMS BUT WOULD DISAPPEAR AFTER THE VEHICLE GOT UP TO SPEED. TURNS OUT THE FLEX PLATE IS BROKEN. THE NOISE HAS BEEN GETTING WORSE OVER THE PAST MONTH AND AFTER VISITING MULTIPLE SHOPS TO BE TOLD, IT WAS A ROCK IN THE BRAKES, TO MAYBE TRANSMISSION WE FOUND A SHOP THAT IDENTIFIED THE ACTUAL ISSUE.
