Hi i am having several issues. I got the lexus dealership in Charlotte to service my transmission recently. I got it back with a weird smell. It smells like body odor. I had to reach out to hendrick corporate for them to address the problem without charging me. Turns out it was the fluid they used. I could smell the smell from inside if i wasnt recirculating the air. They changed the fluid again and it still smells. is my transmission doing this because it is to hot? this smell was never an issue until after the first transmission service. And now im hearing a metal grinding sound in 2nd gear past 4600 rpm. It still shifts smooth but 2nd gear might be slipping. Something just doesnt seem right. o yea they gave me my car back with my brakes sticking after stopping in traffic. I took it back and was told my brake pads in the rear lost 2mm in less than 650 miles. fml im scared to let anyone touch my car. I bought this brand because they weren't suppose to be a money pit like bmw or mercedes. By the way this sound an be heard in 1st but is more prevalent in 2nd. It is not heard in any other gears. and when in sport mode the sound instantly stops when i shift up into 3rd. Started a report with insurance after the brake incident guess i will have to call them back and give them an update.

Sounds like a rear brake caliper is stuck.
I would take it back and make the service advisor ride with me to hear what you are describing on the transmission. I would be concerned that they didn't do the procedure correctly if you were not having any issues prior to taking it there. Don't waste any time on this. Get it there ASAP

You don't say in your original post but was this just normal tranny fluid change/service or were you already having issues before you took it in?? Like Burny said....if it was shifting fine without noise PRIOR to taking the car to them...I would LIVE in that service managers office until I was appeased, PERIOD.

They fixed the braking issue. I will follow up about the transmission.
