After driving for 30-40 minutes at interstate speed and stopping at exit the engine would rattle. Took it to the dealer several times and paid for a couple of the suggested repairs, we decided to research it and take it to a shop for repairs. The timing chains and guides all needed replacing. This should be a recall.
