engine rattle TSB
i just got my car back from the dealership and they didnt fix anythign cause they could not reproduce the rattle. is there any way to get them to fix it without them having to hear it for themselves?

I don't think they'll do it for the startup rattle--that's a pretty involved repair. I only had it occasionally, and my dealer wouldn't do it. To their credit, I've only heard it once or twice in the last 12 months.

The dealer won't fix anything they can't duplicate. If they can't hear the start up noise, they're not going to fix anything because it's not broken per their examination.
I described the conditions under which I had the issues very precisely. They duplicated my problem both times and performed the repair both times.

yea they will but you have to make an appt for it. I bought mine out of state and they gave me a loaner last time. It might be a honda or hyundai though unless you request for a lexus.

They had my car for 4 nights. The first morning after an overnight it didn't happen, so they wanted to keep it for 2 more nights, and start it up the 3rd morning. That morning it happened, and they went ahead and fixed it between that day and the next. Picked it up and hasn't happened since.
