WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP WHILE TURNING EITHER RIGHT OR LEFT THERE IS A SKIPPING/GRINDING NOISE COMING FROM UNDER VEHICLE AROUND THE TRANSFER CASE. I'VE HAD THE FLUIDS FLUSHED BUT NOISE STILL REMAINS. SEEMS TO BE WORSE WHEN UNDER MORE TORQUE LIKE GOING UP A HILL.

START/STOP FEATURE SHUTS THE ENGINE DOWN WHEN STOPPED. ENGINE RESTARTS UPON RELEASE OF BRAKE PEDAL. CAR LURCHES FORWARD AS ENGINE RESTARTS. THIS NEARLY RESULTED IN A PEDESTRIAN COLLISION. PEDESTRIAN WAS CROSSING AGAINST GREEN LIGHT. WHEN BRAKE PEDAL WAS RELEASED, THE CAR LURCHED FORWARD AS ENGINE RESTARTED NEARLY RESULTING IN UNAVOIDABLE COLLISION WITH PEDESTRIAN. START/STOP SYSTEM CANNOT BE PERMANENTLY DISABLED.
