the other thing i hear now is from beginning of first to top of second is a humming sound. could be just snow in wheel wells but sounds like could be from center of car as well. it drives okay and all. no difference in shifting but now im worried.

what should i do?

Whens the last time your transmission was serviced. Check the dipstick for black color of the fluid or burnt odor.

Why would he service his tranny, it's a 2008.

Slamming an automatic transmission from 1st to reverse repeatedly to try and "rock" a car out is the absolute WORST thing you can do to it. Not a joke or some myth, search for it online if you don't believe me...

I don't know if the cars ECU records this sort of thing, but don't be surprised if the dealership doesn't warranty it.
