FYI- I wouldn't have posted if that was the incorrect OP. The guy is still driving his car with not a word about his engine. Good luck, hope you (and I) get good news today... |
Little update here- I pinged the service writer and got this back
"Believe it or not? We went out this morning after sat over the weekend & no noise. It was quite. So we're letting it sit again & calling technical assistance to see if they have any other cases?" If they come back saying couldn't duplicate or normal, the car is going to another dealer. Don't we have a customer service rep in here? I'm honestly think about pursuing a lemon law or something on this. I've had the car since late January and it's been in the shop so many times 1) headliner popping out of pillar 2) rear camera not working 3) alignment out of spec 4) engine clank noise #1 5) engine clank noise #2 6) Bluetooth microphone sounds bad 7) Bluetooth microphone again And I still have the rear end groan and the windshield fogging issue. |

I just started the car, opened the hood and really listened. The intermittent noises weren't so bad today, but still there (car parked outside in sun over 100f asphalt temp). I'm very much leaning toward thermal expansion of the header heat shields. I'll update if I change my thought process.

All I'm saying is that it appears to be worse when it's cooler outside...In MY case, 70 would be cooler. The engine compartment barely made any metalic clacks this very warm afternoon.

End of day update - Dealer says they can't hear it. They want to keep it overnight....again.
Told them while they are at it, please perform the rear diff and foggy windshield bulletin as my car suffers from both. I think I got a lemon. |

Morning update - I showed up to get a loaner today. Writer said tech still didn't hear anything. I asked to go with the tech to the car. Started it up waiting about a minute or 2 until idle settled. Then it started doing it.
Tech verified the noise and said it sounds bottom end. Said he's going to start tearing into the engine and go from there. Waiting game. |
