I have had an issue with my transmission since I-??ve got it. I got it with only 155,000 miles on it in Nov 2023. When i touch my brakes going slow or pull off from a red light my vehicle will make a Sharp noise and shook When i switch gears it will occasionally get stuck and shake when i pull off. I took it to Auto Plus Dealership service a couple times in 2023 where they assured me i had no transmission issue. I had other things like control arms and tires issues that i had fixed. But my car was still doing the same thing. So, i took it to various shops and Auto Plus Dealership service many times throughout the entire year of 2023. Then finally they told me there is a issue with my 02-sense kit and dual mass flywheel as well. During the time they found that issue it was only about 150, 000 miles on my vehicle. Auto Plus Dealership is known to have transmission issues so i was shocked when I was told about the recall. on the issue since my car had high miles on it and it is a known issue. It is progressively getting worse to where it is becoming a hazard and i can't continue to drive my vehicle. And now the Auto plus won't fix all this recall on my vehicle knowing how they sold the vehicle in the 1st place...
