| Description of the problem | Bought the car used in 2013 and since i've had the car makes a knocking noise when stopped. It's not all the time, but most if the time. I asked the mechanic at the dealership about it and he said it was normal and going to get louder which it has, but gave no explanation as to what it was or why it was happening. |
