problem #1

Apr 222010

Corolla LS 2.9L V4

  • Automatic transmission
  • 31,500 miles

About half a dozen times, I've turned on the ignition and a loud rattling/banging/??? sound emits from somewhere in the engine, or around the engine. I took it to the dealer and they said they found nothing wrong and since they couldn't replicate the noise, there was nothing they could do. They also said the noise was due to the oil being deep inside the engine and having to travel up to all the components!!! What does that mean???
