SUSPENSION:REAR
LEFT REAR OF VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A CRUNCHING/RATTLING NOISE OVER EVEN THE SLIGHTEST BUMP. DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT TO BE NOISEY SWAYBAR LINK. THIS HAPPENED BECAUSE BUSHING PUSHED OUT APPARENTLY. THEY HAD TO INSTALL A WASHER ON SWAT BAR BUSHINGS RETAINER. NOT SURE IF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD WHERE I COULD OF LOST CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I FOUND THIS BAD BECAUSE CAR IS NEW AND ONLY 2 MONTHS OLD AND I DRIVE ALL HIGHWAY INTERSTATE MILES. NO SIDE/OFF ROADS WITH MAJOR BUMPS TO KNOCK THIS OUT. HOPEFULLY PROB WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN.IT IS A CONCERN SINCE VEH IS NEW AND THERE WAS NO EXTREMELY ROUGH DRIVING DONE WITH VEHICLE.

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ON TWO OCCASIONS, IN STOP & GO TRAFFIC, WHILE STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON BRAKE, THE ENGINE STARTED RACING, WHEN I TOOK THE CAR OUT OF GEAR, THE ENGINE RPMS "TOOK OFF" I SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED, EVERYTHING WAS FINE. WHEN THIS FIRST HAPPEND, I TOOK THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I THOUGHT IT WAS A FLUKE THE FIRST TIME BUT NOW I THINK THERE IS SOMETHING SERIOUSLY WRONG. ON BOTH OCCASIONS, I WAS STOPPED WITH MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, NOT ON THE ACCELERATOR, WHEN THE ENGINE STARTED RACING, THE ONLY WAY TO CONTROL IT WAS TO SHUT OFF THE ENGINE. I AM TAKING THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALER, HOPEFULLY THEY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM.
