I'm getting rid of the SRX because it's an annoying trait, and I'm concerned that the transfer case might eventually grenade. Other reasons as well.

If I had taken it in for a rattle, Consumer Reports or JD Power would catalog it as an unscheduled repair, same as this. But to me, it's a BIG difference. Right now, 10 rattles = 10 transmissions. It should be weighted based on severity.
