2006 Freestyle on trade

[kw4tx]

I just traded for a 2006 Freestyle for my wife...

2 issues showing its ugly head...

1 the top motor mount/ cvt torque? makes noise when putting in gear and taking off

2 The darn thing will just shut off, well it will shutter and lose power and the wrench icon will come on have no power... shut it off and on a few minutes later and it is back to normal...

I need to fix this... Anyone know how?

I got a good deal if this is not a major problem.

Haven't had the issue yet. But from what Ive read its your transmission. Park it and get it fixed or you'll completely ruin it if you keep driving. Probably need to change the CVT fluid, high pressure filter and the solenoids.

The mount is simple. But could have led to your trans issue as well.

What does the noise sound like? A clunk going in gear or a whirling helicopter noise in neutral or park?

Have you checked diagnostic codes?

noise when putting in gear and on first acceleration...

you press the gas and <clunk>...drives normal.... then every time you start off <clunk>

no codes

Its likley a bad motor mount. Specifically the torque mount. Pop the hood, back center of engine. Dorman make a replacment bushing kit so you dont have to pay for the entire aluminum cast mount.

Pluse the bushing is easier and quicker to replace
