Everytime I accelerate the SUV makes this horrible noise It sounds like it is going to fall apart. A dragging/grinding noise. Like a muffler. And sometimes when slowing down it makes the same noise. It also seem to have a slipping sound. When you stabilize your driving (to a certain speed) it drives e very quiet and drives good.

This could be many things but since your vehicle is so new that really makes it difficult. Can you get a recording of this and we can listen to it and I am sure we can figure something out.

The other thing I have need to mention is if you don't already have an appointment with a dealer, I would do it. Due to your vehicle only being about 2 years old it should still have a warranty on it. It appears you may be out of the basic warranty but this sounds like a power-train related component and if it is, it should still be covered.

Clearly we will help figure this out but when someone else will pay for it if it is covered under the warranty we don't want to delay.

Let me know when you get the video of the noise and we can go from there. Thanks
