Atlas SEL Premium 3.6L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,000 miles

This brand new vehicle screeches when accelerating. It affects all Atlas models that I know of and no fix is being provided. It comes from the torque converter for some reason and sounds like the car is about to fall apart. It occurs under light to moderate acceleration.

The fact that this is considered normal on a brand new $50k vehicle is utterly unacceptable.
