But if by some bizarre reasoning it does in fact prove normal it still begs the question as to why it begins to happen to some after hundreds of miles. That would then suggest that some of these vehicles were assembled better than others, which then becomes a quality control issue...which this car has already suffered from once so far(panel fitting).
Regardless of which answer is correct, they should all be doing it or all not be doing it. Logic is logical, but common sense apparently isn't common.

Yeah but how many miles are on the cars that don't have the noise? Mine didn't start doing it until 700-800 miles in, and it's not reproduce-able on command. Secondly, it only seems to show up when the motor is running hot after hard driving (I've been running the car hard since I rolled it off the dealership lot and it only just recently starting making any noises). Most people have been babying the car, keeping it under 3.5-4k RPM, etc. It's way too early to say that not all of them do it, as all cars are being driven under different conditions. When we're all at 10k miles, we can see how many of them make it there without the noise. I'm having a hard time believing it's this big issue that people are making it out to be,
especially when the dealers can't even agree on what the issue is after claiming that it's a "known issue". If you want to let a dealership rip apart your motor to fix something with no proof it's even broken, be my guest. I'll wait for their dumb luck to produce any results first.
All that said, if it IS an issue, then I want nothing more for it to be diagnosed correctly, and repaired properly. Has anyone who had their car inspected have a write-up on what was tested and how they came to their conclusions?
