“About a year ago, every once in a while at a stop light with the car idling, we would hear a slight rattling noise. But every time we brought it to the dealer, which is only a few miles from our house, the noise was not there or not enough to bring it into shop to be checked out so nothing was ever documented. The noise was intermittent because it was the early stages of the rattle from the flywheel housing condition. One time my husband brought the car to the dealer and without checking it in let the gtr tech hear a recording he made of the noise when it was happening. …”
