Can Transmission Abnormal Noise Be Claimed?
2 Answers
Transmission abnormal noise can be claimed. Claim method for new cars with abnormal noise: First, go to the 4S store for inspection to identify the main cause of the abnormal noise and the reason for its occurrence. If the problem is not identified or the abnormal noise persists after replacing parts, it is necessary to communicate and negotiate a solution with the manufacturer before discussing with the customer. If it is a major quality issue with the vehicle itself that could pose a danger during future driving, the manufacturer can be requested to refund, replace the car, or compensate. Reasons for abnormal noise inside the car during driving: Small objects inside the door trim panel, such as lighters or coins; loose interior trim or audio system; rusted door hinges; aged door sealing strips due to lack of maintenance for a long time; poor contact, gaps, or insufficient lubrication in the door lock mechanism.
I've been driving for over a decade and encountered transmission noise issues several times. Whether you can claim warranty actually depends on the warranty status. For new cars within the warranty period (usually about three years), if the noise is diagnosed as a quality issue like manufacturing defects or internal gear damage, you can get it repaired for free under warranty. The key is to maintain proper service records to prove you haven't neglected maintenance, otherwise manufacturers may reject the claim. Last time when my car made loud noises, the dealership confirmed the fault after inspection and replaced the entire assembly at no cost. Address such issues promptly - transmission repairs are extremely expensive, and a successful claim can save you thousands. Also, regular transmission fluid changes are the most practical way to prevent wear. Practice safe driving and don't wait until major problems occur.
