Re: Clunking/Grinding When Turning

No cel or oil lights came on. I assume it was Valvoline screwing up yet again. In the past I've gotten my phone down to the...

Re: 2012 Kizashi AWD CVT Whine and other little problems

Yea it's normal, I got the same car. You have to drive it soft to avoid it. It's the sound of pump trying to suck up tranny fluid. There's posts here about the cvt pan being too short. It started the first summer I got the car, I drive it soft and rarely hear it.
