Consumer states that while driving at any speed and without warning transmission will start to make a loud noise. Dealer notified.
On moderate inclines the automatic transmission rolls backwards and continues, even accelerates until you brake. Dealer and manufacturer both say this is a design feature and is not a defect. The computer module has already been replaced for other reasons but this unsafe defect continues.
The clutch assembly made a vibration noise, the dealer was unable to duplicate the problem.
