Consumer Description

DT: NOTICED ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2005 THE ENGINE HAS BEEN MAKING A LOUD TICKING NOISE. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS, ONE SAID IT WAS THE VALVE TRAIN ,AND THE OTHER DEALER SAID IT WAS EXHAUST SYSTEM ECHOING. BOTH DEALERS SAID IT WAS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICLE TO SOUND LIKE THAT. COULD STAND TWO TO THREE HUNDRED FEET AWAY AND HEAR IT ROAR, AND EVEN IF IM INSIDE A VEHICLE. WHEN FIRST STARTING IT UP IT DOESN'T MAKE THE SOUND RIGHT AWAY. BUT ONCE THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP IT MAKES THIS SOUND EVERY TIME WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE . *AK
