Had the exact same slipping between third and fourth on my Charger R/T and it turned out to be a solenoid issue rather than anything requiring a full rebuild which was a genuine relief after expecting the worst. A Sharjah specialist who actually ran proper diagnostics before quoting identified it accurately and the repair cost was a fraction of what I had been dreading.
Grinding or clicking sounds from a 4WD system are worth checking quickly rather than waiting to see if they settle. These noises usually mean something is already wearing that will only get worse with time.
Short trips not allowing a full recharge is something a lot of city drivers don’t think about. If every drive is just ten minutes of stop and go traffic with AC running, the battery is constantly working harder than it’s recovering. That cycle wears it down faster than most people expect.
Al Quoz industrial traffic genuinely is a different level of paint risk compared to regular Dubai roads. The combination of heavy trucks, construction vehicles and commercial activity means debris encounters happen constantly not occasionally. Unprotected paint here deteriorates noticeably faster than the same car would in a residential area.
