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.

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.

Ok with the clicking noise i think everyone here has it ....I'm not sure but it sounds like it and someone told me that it's doing that b/c all the belts are just getting worn in and its fine ..b/c when i had the car brand new it didn't make that kinda noise ..that click click click . Now what about the car jumping a little bit when ur sitting a red light and u have ur foot on the brakes and the car kinda jumps an inch or so ...wtf does everyone else have the same kind of problems ?

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!

When my car is cold and I shift into reverse from park, the transmission engages with a big jolt...it's very unluxurious and embarassing when passengers get in the car and comment "oh nice car!" and then when the transmission does that they're all "what the f*@#???" 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>
