ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
EVERY MORNING I HEAD OFF TO WORK WHEN THE VEHICLE IS COLD, I START THE VEHICLE, I PUT INTO DRIVE AS I ACCELERATE TO ABOUT 10 MILES I HEAR A RATTLING SOUND FROM UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE. THIS SOUNDS HAPPENS EVEN WHEN THE CAR IS WARM ACCELERATING FROM A STOPPED POSITION, SUCH AS BEING AT A STOPLIGHT. I HAD THE VEHICLE IN THE REPAIR SHOP AT THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS THE HEAT SHIELD FOR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. I LEFT THE VEHICLE OVERNIGHT, IN ORDER FOR THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO EXPERIENCE THE ANNOYING SOUND, WHEN THEY TEST DROVE IT THE FOLLOWING MORNING. HERE I AM ABOUT SEVEN MONTHS LATER WITH THE PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT IS SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS THAN A HEAT SHIELD. I HAVE SCHEDULED A SECOND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE SAME ISSUE REPAIRED. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCH THE ISSUE ONLINE AND SEE THAT THIS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH SUZUKIS. *TR
