Oh my God, this car has turned out to be a dog in terms of just pure bad luck and now more mechanical problems. Recently, I noticed that there is a buckling sound coming from the front of the car whenever I brake or accelerate (like something is loose underneath the car). I've only had the car back from the shop in September for a new hub, control arm, and subframe. Now there is something wrong with the tranny. It is way slow to accelerate and doesn't shift normally anymore. It is way erratic in its behavior and sometimes the engine will be revving at 4-5K rpms until it decides on its own to shift. Giving it more gas only keeps it in the same gear but it sort of "coughs" with a kind of clicking sound. Additionally, it feels kind of wobbly between gears as if something is not balanced properly. I can't seem to find my paperwork but when I bought it, I got a 3 year 36K mile warranty on it and have only put 17K miles on it (it was used, had 45K and now 62K) so on Monday it is going to the dealership for an inspection but I just want to know what you guys think? Is the tranny toast and does this loose buckling noise sound familiar? Oh, forgot to mention the strange sound I got when cornering earlier this week, sort of like gears turning but it sounded like it was coming from the driver side area near the wheel. You know, I fell in love with this car when I first drove it but I've never had so many issues with a car so I think it's a good bet that it's my first and last Pontiac.
