    has she recently changed the spark plugs? or change to a diff type of oil? may want to check oil pressure and increase oil weight.

    My dad had a similar problem with his but didn't catch it until it was to late....it could be that it is due for a new water pump and timing belt.my dad ended yup having to replace his whole motor because of waiting until it froze up on him out of the blue while driving it.Sergio if it's making a funny noise you've never heard before it could be its giving you a warning before its too late.so if you've never changed the timing belt it might btw time too..look it up what is says about Tiburon and timing belt.what Will only cost like $60for the pump and belt kit if not changed could end up costing you about$500-600 bucks for a motor...

Loud rattle sound when Idling

I suggest you have your car checked as soon as possible - while a rattling exhaust isn't desperately urgent it could be the cat breaking up which might later restrict the flow of gases. Most importantly excessively loose timing belts or chains tend to make most noise when the engine is idling. If the noise is being caused by this delay could be very expensive.

I have an 03 Ford Explorer 4.0 v6. We JUST replaced the timing chains. A week later, I had a belt shred and got that changed as well. Since then, it has started having a little rattling noise, which has...

I would double check the belt tensioner, it may have been damaged during the timing chain replacement. Also if those chains use a tensioner, this could be the culprit as well

Bougth an 08 Sonata new with sunroof.... from day 1 sunroof rattles with slider open. Hyundai has treid to fix it twice but can't. Meeting dist. mgr next month.... have spent over 2 yrs. with this...

First you wouldn't sell it, unless you own it outright,don't like it or want to spend cash on another vehicle,so you can start watching it depreciate from day one.

Have you asked the dealer to bring in a factory field rep to work on it or assist the dealer techs?

Have they considered getting authorization to just replace the entire sunroof? Not eveyone with that vehicle could be having the same issues.

In the end you will be figuring it out yourself,after the warrantee expires. Been there. That is why I have done all my own repairs since 1963. 47 years
