Have a 2011 Rev 4WD and was wondering if maybe u could tell me what years are affected by this poor programing or ECM problem? My 2011 4WD Limited 2.5 to be exact. I hate to say it. Mt tranny has been acting up in the past two weeks or so. It only happens on hills at slow speeds so far. I live at the very top of a mountain, 12,082 feet above sea level, and here lately it shifts really hard, only after seeming to be slipping or bumped into neutral. Although I`m no Master Mechanic by fair, I do however, understand the basics of an automobile, but let me tell u something right now! This Rev is something else when it comes to diagnose of problems! Like why mine makes an offal roar, roar, roar, roar, coming from the front end that gets louder and faster as speed increases. Sounds really terrible I`d say and I want it fixed. Just tell me the source of the noise and stand back cause I`m bout to make something happin!

There are no listed recalls involving the transmission. Have you contacted your dealer regarding this problem. They need to make a note that something is wrong while the vehicle is still under full warranty.

As far as the noise, does it only do it when the engine is hot?
