Mine had bad vibration and 'sometimes' made a noise when starting. Talked to dealer about it and they could find nothing. I replaced the tires and still had vibration. Eventually a bolt actually backed out of the head of our vehicle and of course it was out of warranty. A few thousand dollars later and a couple of months we where driving back from a trip to Colorado and the engine froze up another few thousand dollars and total frustration we still own it and hardly ever drive it. I travel ALOT so it has around 72,000 miles on it and we haven't touched it in 2 years just waiting until we are not so upside down on it. By the way I did buy it brand new and it was my first new car. The initial problem started at less than 10,000 miles. The last time we pulled it to the dealership one of the mechanics asked if it was the engine that had the bolt back out of the head and we said "yes". He turned to the service manager and flat out said "I'm not working on that one."
