ive got a 550 with step, and occasionally at slow speeds when the engine is lugged a bit, I will hear a grinding/struggling/lugging noise. It easy to fix the problem by pushing the throttle more so the car will downshift. It usually happens when cruising at a constant speed, then you go up a hill, or speed up a little while not wanting the engine from downshifting. Ive never heard this kind of noise from an auto, as they usually downshift before the engine strains but the 550 appears to allow this to happen. The car also makes odd gurgling and whiney noises at sub 10mph speeds...anyone else?

noise is better decribed as a rattle mixed with moaning
Can I use this description when explaining noise to repair dept.? They look at me like I'm nuts trying to describe the symptoms. Happened only 3 times so far, once with the wife in the car. Her hair stood straight up 'cause she thought the trans fell out of the car. Just hit a 1000 miles on the car.

Your episode sounded quite bad. I guess I did not allow my situtuation to go so far but the engine did feel pretty tired and sometimes I can feel some jerkiness. Now I just put into DS whenever I think the engine will encounter a situation like this or simply step harder on the gas pedal a little earlier.
Seems to happen when the trans should be shifting from 2nd to 1st or 3rd to 2nd. Low speed, anyway. Hope there's an explanation and solution.
