as most know, my transmission blew a month ago and was fixed 2 weeks ago. It was returned last week for one day because when i was in reverse, car would feel like its griding and make lots of funny noises. I received the car back next day. They said they fixed the problem and that a bolt was not tightly screwed on. But when i got the car back, it is still messed up. When i am in reverse, car vibrates alot and feels like its a motorcycle. And now when im driving, when let go of gas or brake slightly, the car starts vibrating slightly.

Why so many problems? how many times do i have to return the car to the dealer?
can it be lemond? i doubt it if it has 36k miles on it. Car has chip but since i turned in car to dealer, i never turned on chip mode. i kept it stock mode always to save gas for the past month. and my testpipe has been off since the first time i sent the car to dealer.

a lemond? wtf haha j/k (unless you really think its called that)

sounds like they didn't fix your problem man, i would head back to the dealer and make sure they fix it right and your satisfied. i agree that you shouldn't be having this many problems at 36k miles.

granted chipping your car and driving agressively (i know you said you have been taking it easy but cmon i mean we all chip our cars for a reason so you know what i mean) doesn't help, but your issue sounds like it needs to be taken care of by the dealer. hard driving shouldn't be detaching transmission cooling lines and what not.

did it blow, or did the tranny fluid line leak and was replaced? if there was actually enough damage to it, and they rebuilt it, then it may have "blew." otherwise, it didn't. but if they did rebuild it, then they possibly did it wrong, and you need to take it back until its done right. Even if they have to order you a new one.

Request a test drive with someone from the dealer so they know exactly what you're talking about.

When they fixed the tranny earlier, they replaced the whole transmission.

Yea, im going to give the dealer a call.

what happens if problems keep occuring?
do i have to live with this? because my car's warranty ends at 50k miles. And if problems still stays after warranty ends im screwed.

Oh, and i pinky promise that i havnt driven the car hard at all since it was fixed. well Sort of fixed. But yea, i like the fact that i get 350+ miles a tank on stock mode. Since i turned in the car, i never switched to stock mode. Also because i locked it out and i dont know how to unlock or anthing anyways. I keep forgetting how, i bothered eurocode quite enough times.
