New to the "Forum"....... I purchased a 21 limited with the 2.3l about 2 months ago. I' noticed, from a stand still, when I accelerate moderatley I'm hearing a , sounds like, lower end engine rattle as it shifts through the gears. No noise under soft acceleration and no noise crusing or accelerating when cruising. Only hear it from a dead stop with a moderate 3000 rpm accel. My initial thought was bearing noise so I brought the vehicle into the dealer. Well......we took it for drive, the tech drove it, he agreed......."ya I hear something".....another tech went out said he couldn't duplicate the noise. Bottom line they had no other vehicle to compare it to so they gave me a " no issues found" report. My question.........is this a normal noise for the 2.3L ? Anybody have input? Appreciate it....Thanks.
