| When I accelerate to pass someone on th highway, the whole car "bucks" like there is bad gas or something. This happens at all speeds, but mostly at speeds over 60 mph. | |

My car wouldn't start the other morning so I had it towed to the dealer (with 225 miles left on the original warranty... THAT'S a first)... anyway, they said there was a "cold start" update that they implemented and he "sold" me on a number of maintenance items... (I'm religious about keeping up with the maintenance on my vehicles and had many things done at 30,000...) Even though I had the injectors serviced just 3 months ago, he said they needed to be done again... and this is the one that REALLY bothered me... he said the rear differential oil smelled "burned"... mind you I've got just shy of 36,000 on the car... my brother told me that probably wasn't true and I was just "taken"... I looked in the "scheduled maintenance" book and see NOTHING on the rear differential... it does say the injectors should be cleaned/flushed at 30,000 (which I did)... so my question is... "Did I get "taken"...?... or do I have something seriously wrong with my injectors and differential...?" Unfortunately I think it's probably the former... I am going to call the dealer this morning and "challenge" these "repairs"...

Replying to: chuck1 (Jan 14, 2008 8:29 am) Would they have been able to tell the injectors had been cleaned by looking? Thanks for your reply... |

Can you get refills for the wiper blades or do you have to buy the expensive blade. I have not been able to locate refills. Thanks

| '06 SEL, 13,000 miles, 6-speed trans. When driving up long hills where trans stays in 3rd gear and about 25 to 30 mph, there is rapid pulsing/vibration from transmission. Similar feeling to pulling a trailer with a truck where small bumps cause slight push/pull feeling in vehicle; except these pulsing/vibrations are rapid back and forth about 6 to 8 times per second. I stoped car a couple times to validate this and verify which gear. Dealer says they do not have a dynomometer or any other way to replicate problem. Any comments? | |
