Hi, I had a new car problem tonight. I have about 32,500 miles on it, and up to date car service. I went out to run some errands, drove about 5 miles stopped and the car started to idle really rough. I drove 3 miles more and stopped again at a light, the car sounded rough and weak. I noticed it occurs up to 3,000 rpms. I lowered down my window and started to accelerate slowly when I noticed an odd noise. Really hard to describe, sounded sort of like exhaust clunk but not, something metal swishing or swooshing noise and a bad vibration and loss of power. Its coming from the engine. When driving the car feels like crap (almost like a tractor). Im calling the dealer tomorrow and taking it in. Did anyone experience this?

what does that mean... you had you 30k mile service done?

what was the last recall you had prefomed? or when was the last time the car was at the dealer?

OK lol, I have all the recalls up to date and all the service up to date by maintenance schedule.

i guess if you cannot answer the simple ? of when the last time the car was in the dealer.

you have it all figured out and need no help..

good luck..

OMG!!! The car has everything done so how would I have everything figured out! Theres no CEls or any warning lights on! If I passed 30k obviously the car had a 30k done, so a driver does about 1k or so a month! Do the math man, Whats so hard to understand with car being up to date with everything?

how hard is it to answer the ? when was the last time it was at the dealership?

what was the last recall you have had preformed...

you want help, but cant answer a simple ?....

with you math.. the car has not been to the dealership in 3 months?

i got a better idea. search.

swoope- shhhh...be nice to the mentally deficient...most of them don't realize that a simple answer will solve all their problems...

you see, having all service done up to a certain point doesn't necessarily mean you've had all recalls completed. if it was standard service then all thqaat was done was basic changing of fluids, inspection and such like that.

Swoope's got a good question. when /was/ the last time it actually saw the dealership?

Adamrotor

Man, ok here the car was last in the dealership 2 months ago for a voluntary recall there was TSB on it. I went to the dealer they flashed the ECU, inspect the Cat. Converter and thats ll it says on the R.O.

now,

how hard was that? with what you describe you need to take it back, or maybe to a different dealer..

is you idle very low???

beers

Adamrotor

I cant recall looking at the idle range, because I had my head out the window listening to the noise. But the car was vibrating and have a loud idle.

swoope

as i said. find a new dealer...

likely it is bad. from what you say...

i could be just the cat, but ..

Adamrotor

here's another good idea, how about you either answer his question or STFU? Adamrotor is a nice guy, and I doubt he needs to hear **** from a scarcastic *******

Red Devil

Agreed. Adam is a good guy, from those of us that actually know him. Calling him "mentally deficient" is in no way constructive or of use, wave your e-***** elsewhere.

Adam, does it sound like coins rattling in the engine bay?

RX8THELAW

these guys are no mechanics just take the car to the dealership and hope for the best but i have one question did it sound like a subaru when you rev the car @ low rpms???

Red Devil

Na, I'd guess more like a peripheral ported engine...

Adamrotor

Well Thanks to Zoom44 I got my thingy back yey. Thanks Zoom44.

Thanks BlueRenesis and RedDevil for that.

The engine sounded like it had pennies floppin inside? I guess?

Do you have a tow hook on the front of your car?

Adamrotor
