Queens NY, 11429 I complained again (see attached invoice #chcs169243). Vehicle again was checked and road tested. Tech stated vehicle operating as designed! now on 3/09/16 during my regular service after tech completed service and backing vehicle out of bay he noticed the hesitation/noise which has been their all the time.
