Start up makes clicking noise and sometimes won't start for a few minutes. Has done it too many times to count. The dealer cannot find anything wrong with it. They say it doesn't do it when they have it.

Engine makes throaty sound when both idling and accelerating. Dealer first recommended that the engine be replaced--then stated there was no problem and the noise was normal. I feel this is a problem that will persist and become worse and may endanger me and/or others. The manufacturer should replace the engine as originally suggested by the dealer.
