281-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD

19000 mi Whining noise when accelerating. Dealer took apart transmission, and discovered several parts failing. My front diff carrier assembly, drive gear support, output sun gear, output carrier transfer drive gear input hub, and of course trans. 
34000 mi Transmission was leaving a big puddle in driveway. Dealer could not find anything leaking. Added dye to trans and was told to drive for two weeks and return. Return trip still had no findings (no visible leak). 
36000 mi Same as my February complaint. Transmission fluid dripping from the case. They had it about 4 hours and replaced an axle seal under warranty. I had to return the next say for the same leak. Same complaint as Feb 14 and previous day visits. Transmission dripping. They kept most of day, Turns out my case bolts were backing out, causing the leak. Under assumption this relates to my 2012 final drive rebuild 
115000 mi hard shifting. when driving at hwy speeds and passing transmission drops several gears causing rpms to tach above 4500 when passing and having to coast until transmission shifts back into overdrive.
