I am no mechanic but I can give you some advise. Do not take this car to a "local" mechanic. There are many unique problems with this car. I only trust people who know "this" car. I drive 2 hrs. to a guy who knows almost everything about this car to have mechanical repairs done. Someone should chime in here and give you advise as to someone near you who can check out your car. Good luck and wlcome to the world of the "SVX"
