I've experienced this too - not sure if turbo lag or what. I've also experienced very jerky acceleration when in Sport mode. A lot of times it seems that the car can't decide what gear it should be in.

Is it metal rubbing on metal? I noticed my passenger side door is rubbing on a soft/foam insert in the door well near the glove box.

Thanks for the clarification, guys.

Hey all, I'm wondering if this is normal or should not be happening: It's still been a bit chilly here, so the past few days, I've used the remote start to let my car idle for a few minutes before driving off. Each time when I've sat down in the driver seat, to my surprise the seat was warm...

I had the same problem. Took it to the body shop and they realigned it - seems to be functioning normally now.

Thanks, Jeff - will do!

Found out yesterday that my passenger door is rubbing against the soft/foam insert on the inside of the door well next to glove box - will have to take a closer look to see if there is any metal-on-metal rubbing.

I have a rattle coming from here too, but it is only present at high RPM's. I'm wondering if it is related to the Eco's sound symposer (sp?).

This is one of the same sounds it was making. They did check it out and seemed to think it was normal - I'm not sure if they took a look underneath or not - The car seems to be functioning okay despite the sound, so I'm just going to keep an eye on it to see if it gets worse or causes any problems.

Mine is in the shop today too: 1. Left exhaust is caddywompus - the tailpipe slightly lower than the right exhaust 2. Hood misaligned. 3. Trunk misaligned. It won't always shut properly. Sometimes I have to slam it 3+ times before it shuts. Just to confirm, you guys are getting the...

Ah, I'm sorry to hear that. If I recall there were a few other people on here who had drive shaft issues. Can't say mine has the same issue - everything seems to be normal until I hit 6000 RPM on a hard acceleration and then the clunking between Drive/Park shifts. Hope everything in your car...

Could you describe in more detail what you were experiencing during acceleration prior to getting it fixed?

Damn, that is ridiculous to have on a brand new car. I'm sorry for all the trouble you went through on that. How's it running now? Thanks, it seems to be driving fine, but I'm keeping an eye on it.

Yes, it was a little difficult to hear in your video but from what I could make out, mine sounded very similar. It's a mechanical clunking sound from the under-body occasionally accompanied by a slight jerk in the car when the shift is made. The car is fun to drive, but between these...

Yeah, I first noticed my issue in the same scenario. Except instead of a clunk it was a more of a buzzing that kicked it once the tach hit 6K rpm. It also hung there a bit. One thing I've noticed with the AT is it sometimes tends to stay stuck in a higher gear awhile before upshifting.
