I had it in a different post...

**2 UPDATES**

March 18th- So 1 week in to having my 2015 GT and am having transmission issues. Taking it to the dealer tomorrow am and hoping the warranty covers it. After doing some research and taking it to my local shop (they ruled out wheel bearing issues) it looks like it's the transmission/transaxle. TSB No. 0500414 is what I found and it's exactly what I'm hearing (although I have a 2015 and it only shows '12-'14 having the problem)

March 20th- Took my 2015 GT to the dealer this morning to get the transmission checked....moral of the story is it needs a new transmission...thankfully covered by the warranty! Should be good as new in a week or 2 and in the meantime they gave me a 2016.5 GT to drive around...Sport mode is kind of cool on it!
All in all, thank goodness for the warranty!!

Here's the link to the TSB that I found for the symptoms that made me concerned.... http://bit.ly/2nfdZp9

The dealer couldn't tell me what exactly went wrong with the transmission because he said they aren't allowed to open up the bad transmission when they pull it out to see what happened.
