In case you did not know, you do not need to hold the start button down while the car is cranking. Just push it quickly once you get the green light and let go and the car will do the rest. My sales person told me differently. Just an FYI.

By the way, almost 3,000 miles on my 7/06 build and only have two minor rattles that will be fixed at my 5,000 oil change. Otherwise (fingers crossed), the car has been great...tranny too!!

I don't even look for the light anymore. I just jump in, foot on the brake, hit the button. I can imagine though that maybe some people do indeed hold the button. LOL.

Believe it or not, my sales person told me to put my foot on the brake, count 1-one thousand, then push the start button and hold the button down until the car starts. He told me other things that I later found out were incorrect. Learned a lot on this sight.

Those salesmen, I tell ya. Everybody knows it's "one-mississippi"!

My salesman told me no need to hold button, my second attempt happens at times but it is such an auto process of starting the car do not or did not pay attention to light.

The rattles in my car I did not take seriously at all until reading NGG's post and wish I had not discounted and ignored them as I did.

The one from back area turns out something isn't bolted or welded right where back glass sits on metal lip and is glued to it. If you, from outside, not inside, very lightly tap or smack toward bottom of glass you hear sound of glass and metal combined as a rattle noise similar as heard in car and it seems the missing bolt or weld is at the top of the frame in the middle where roof and back glass metal surround it's glued to meet.

I'm not going to get all freaked out over it unless I should be due to it maybe being structural like NGG's and Riley's and I don't realize it, but even if less involved than their's it shouldn't be doing it.

Rattles, it seems, should be taken very seriously at times.
