What are the symptoms of a faulty transmission in the Teana?
2 Answers
There are many manifestations of transmission problems, such as transmission noise, transmission slippage, transmission oil leakage, etc., which need to be addressed based on the actual situation. Transmission Slippage: During driving, when stepping on the accelerator, you can hear the engine idling. Transmission Oil Leakage: Oil leakage can lead to insufficient lubrication inside the transmission. Transmission Jerking: The impact, vibration, and jerking sensation during gear shifting are relatively strong. Transmission Noise: When the car is idling, driving, or under high-load conditions, abnormal noises or even loud noises can be heard from the transmission.
As a long-time owner of a Teana for ten years, I've experienced firsthand the transmission issues. Common symptoms include rough shifting during acceleration, a sensation of the car slipping as if it's in neutral and lacking power. When making low-speed turns or climbing hills, you can hear distinct metal grinding or rattling noises, which can be quite alarming. The car also shakes inexplicably, especially during startup, with the steering wheel vibrating along. The dashboard warning lights come on more frequently, and if ignored, fuel consumption spikes, making the car sluggish and hard to drive. My advice is not to delay—regularly check the transmission fluid level and color to avoid minor issues turning into costly major repairs.
