When I push my car in sport mode, gears 1-3 it crackles like it's being pushed at redline even though it's only at 4000ish. The sound seems to be coming from the shift-gate. I could be wrong. Also when I drive at low speeds or up a hill, my exhaust sounds like it's bubbling. It has a pop-pop-pop-pop-pop sound to it. Like a huge bucket of water being boiled? Anyone else have this problem? It also sounds like that when the car's on and in idle.

The hell is wrong with these TLs!

 

Did you run it through a big puddle?

 

No I did not. It sounds like the gears are grinding when high-reving. Insane.

 

You seem to be having a great deal of problem with your car.
Why don't you return it to the dealer and tell them it's a lemon, have them replace it.

 

def tell them it's a lemon. and try to talk to the district managers about it.
