Consumer Description

I HAD ISSUES WHEN THE CAR STARTS-UP. IT MAKE A LOUD NOISE EVERY MORNING GOING TO WORK AND ALSO THE A/C MAKES NOISES WHEN ITS ON. TOOK IT TO LEXUS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE NOISE AND ALSO SAY THAT THEY FOUND SOME TYPE OF GARAGE IN THE AIR FILTER. THE NOISE IS STILL THERE, ITS A LOUD THUMP AS IF METAL TO METAL IMPACT. LIKE A STEEL HAMMER HITTING ANOTHER STEEL HAMMER. *TR
