Consumer Description

EVERY TIME THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION IS PUT IN REVERSE AND THE VEHICLE WHEELS TURNED SHARPLY TO RIGHT OR LEFT, SUCH AS IN BACKING- OUT OF A TIGHT PARKING SPACE, THE CAR LABORS TO MOVE BACKWARDS AND BINDING NOISES EMANATE FROM DIFFERENTIAL OR REAR AXLE AREA OF THE CAR. THIS CONDITION LESSENS AND COMPLETELY DISAPPEARS AS THE STEERING WHEEL IS RETURNED TO THE STRAIGHT FORWARD OR STRAIGHT BACK POSITION. I BELIEVE THIS CONDITION HAS EXISTED IN EARLIER MODELS OF MY VEHICLE AND HAS BEEN THE SUBJECT OF A RECALL. THIS MALFUNCTION HAS EXISTED EVER SINCE I PURCHASED THE USED CAR IN JUNE OF 2016. OTHER THAN THE DESCRIBED ISSUE, THE CAR HAS SERVED ME WELL.
