fix for suspected problems?

hi there, im about to take the car in for service, still under warranty, can you tell me probably what the problem and solution is for these issues?


1. squeek sound over speed bumps from front suspension, happens intermitently

2. when slowing down for a sharp turn or in a cruising parking lot and only going like 10mph, and then accellerating, takes about 1-2 sec before any power and then a huge gush of power, like a lag, but seems more than a supercharger lag and more like just no power for a few seconds.


thanks in advance

I just had the exact same items fixed on my car. The front squeeking was from the sway bar bushings.. covered under warranty. In my case there were a few other items like a couple bearings, my motor mounts, and thrust arms??

My Tranny problem was allegedly caused by a tranny seal leak. When driving in traffic it would would seem to lunge, kinda jump between 1000-2000 rpm's. I have seen that others have had the whole tranny replaced, mine was just the seal and topping off the fluid. It seems to be fine now..


Good luck

The squeak could be the bushings in the front. It is a known issue that other members have gotten replaced under warranty. Other members will have to chime in about the surge problem.

Did the dealer get your problems fixed? What was their answer? Still considering making an offer on your car and curious.
