Ok I got 2 big problems, I think???
First off, the car at idle is very loud with the AC on(which hit always is down here.) It makes a click noise and it is annoying, what should I do? Is this common? Should I just bring it to the dealer, or is there a self-fix?
Second, when I go in reverse it makes a clanking noise and then right before I turn the wheel it feels like it jolts forward. Could I be having tranny problems already (only 3553 miles.) Should I just let the dealer know about these problems? I rather see what you guys think and what I can do, but if not I'll go to them. Thanks, Anthony.

Coming to a city near you
My car sounds really loud at Idle too, with the A/C on. I took it to the dealer but they couldn't replicate the problem. I think it is because of the K&N filter i'm using??????

Don't wait until you are stuck in the side of the road, like I was in Las Vegas.

Are you sure it's not the electric fans that are making the noise when the A/C is on. They will cut on and off when the A/C is on and as hot as it's been, they probably run alot if the car is idling.
I also had the clunk in reverse but after having my 15k service last week it has gone. It used to happen when the car was first started and I put it into reverse. I think maybe the transmission fluid hasn't warmed up and it made the noise.

I hate waiting in drive thrus becauseof this reason!! my car idle completely drowns out my CAI's hissing
Also the clicking and loud idle are magnified by the wall next to me and worse there are plenty of people around to listen to it. Arrgh!

This is just the latest in my transmission woes.</STRONG>

remember a cold start, (and it doesn't have to be 20 below out) will have a slightly higher idle while in and will naturally engage more abruptly - you can have it checked though as this is only a speculation if it is indeed "normal" however i cannot tell that over the net, take it in, leave it overnight and have the dealer start it cold</STRONG>
