While at dealership had informed mechanic of technical service bulletin. Was informed that transmission was suppose to work like that. The problem was getting louder & worse.”
NHTSA complaint #881731, filed 2001-02“Six bolts on the drivetrain where it enters the engine came loose. All fell out except about two.
