I was wondering if you guys are getting a loud grinding/whining/whistling sound when accelerating normal or hard from a stop especially when the rpms get higher before it slides into the next gear. Seems to have gotten more loud since I have purchased the car from about 8 months ago. Still only has under 4k miles. Also acceleration is a bit different than my brothers 04 neon,my car feels a little more slower and seems to shift harder, almost like you can feel the shift in gears like you do with a manual trans. Also I am only getting between 17 - 21 mpg mostly stop and go driving. I have to refill after 180 miles of driving. According to my dealer there is nothing wrong with it. They said that they ran diagnostics on it and everything was normal. They didnt explain in to much detail but... I think they are lying
