Vehicle was towed to the dealer after it made a loud noise. Consumer pulled over to the side of the road, and the vehicle would not go into reverse. Consumer contacted manufacturer, and was told that vehicle had to have a bench inspection. Consumer was told that transmission had not been serviced properly, and assistance was declined.
