Description of the problem | At about 7:10am on july 18, 2013, i started the car and a bad noise came from engine. I pooped the hood and looked but found nothing visually. I took the car to the dealer the next morning and they had to keep it overnight. Three master mechanic's verified the noise and stated they have never herd this before and had no clue what was wrong. It sounds as if a ball bearing is loose in the top part of the motor and bouncing around. What is odd, is that the noise will go away once the motor is warmed up. Now the dealer is saying nothing is wrong!!!!! |
