I have a 2004 SRX that when you take off heavy or fast there is a ratcheting noise that sounds like a loud banging under the car. if you take off easy it does not happen, otherwise the car drives fine. Trying to diagnose this problem Thanks Jim
No its not.Yet another GM engineering design flaw we are all left to contend with.
Funnyjcobz28 said:GM engineering decided the unit was beefy enough to use in the SRX application. Whether Borg-Warner over rated the chain, the chain was manufactured inferior to spec, or GM specified it's use in the SRX when it shouldn't have, I don't know. Regardless of who is at fault, I still blame GM for not taking care of their customers with a recall on an obviously defective part/application that does not perform as it should.
