Re: 09 Cold Start Issue shifting into first

245k miles on the clock and I’m going to cover my eyes as I say I haven’t had transmission fluid changed out since 100k. I didn’t take it or do it that time and my mechanic says they don’t do transmission fluid stuff at their shop, so I’m figuring out where to have it done.. I figure I should at lea...

09 Cold Start Issue shifting into first

Strangely it’s only the first start of the day.. she has a really hard time shifting out of first (automatic) and I have to gently rev her and drive slowly until she shifts and after that she drives fine!! I had her checked at my mechanic ...

Re: New Member! 2009 and engine mount dilemma

Im in the same boat. Got a quote from a local shop anywhere from 700-1100 bucks. I actually DID NOT want to do this job myself but for that price i cant justify having a shop do it. Im going to take the plunge and do 3 mounts myself and pray that I can get away without doing the rear...that one I r...

Check Engine and VSC / 09 2.4L

Ohhhhh mannnn.. So I just shelled out $800 to get my engine mounts replaced. I’m so excited for two days because the vibrations are negligible after so long! And then.. This morning when I start the car there’s an awful racket. Starting the engine takes a few seconds longer but she gets moving. Drop...

Re: New Member! 2009 and engine mount dilemma

Thanks y’all. I’m in Florida and drive a ton (for work). Yes, she has the oil burn as well. It’s just a normal thing for me at this point, lol.

New Member! 2009 and engine mount dilemma

Thanks for allowing me to join! I’ve referenced the forums often but never joined. I’ve had my 2009 2.4L for about 7 years and I’m at 264k miles.
