Consumer Description

I HAD THIS ISSUE SINCE I GOT THE CAR, ONLY THE ISSUE HAS OCCURED PROGRESSED MORE AS MONTHS WENT BY. NOW AT 21,000 MILES, ENGINE MAKES A RATTLE SOUND FOR 2-3 SECONDS DURING COLD STARTUP AND THEN GOES AWAY. ONLY HAPPENS WHEN ENGINE IS IN A COMPLETE COLD-STATE (EARLY MORNING) OR NOT DRIVEN FOR A FEW HOURS.
