Second issue is the engine is making bird chirping noise, it comes and goes but it gets loude!! Took it to dealer a year ago by the time i got there the noise stopped so they could not figure out the issue, took in the second time about 8 months ago the service tech heard it and booked me for an appointment. By the time mechanic got to it next day it stopped. This was all under warranty and now i am out of warranty and have no support from a local dealer from where i bought the car.
