Hi everyone, New 2011 Nox 2.4 owner here, I have a issue with it at startup.
Let me just say I Love everything about the my new vehicle!
Ok, so Saturday night we were walking out to the Nox after dinner at a restaurant and saw a Hyundai Sonata that was making
some kind of crazy metal on metal screeching sounds. Of course I was making smart a$$ comments about it to my girlfriend, we then
get in and I turn the key (715 miles on odometer) and the engine starts up and literally sounds like every valve in the engine is banging
against the pistons, the engine then quit after a few seconds of this noise. I instantly had a sick to my stomach feeling, knowing this sound
was not normal for an engine. I restarted the engine and it started up normal/nice and quiet. Three more restarts Saturday night/Sunday morning with no problems. Drove 60 miles to my brothers house, visited, 4 hours later restarted as my bro was watching me leave and it did it again. It was not quite as loud this time but my bro looked at me and said "what the hell was that"??!! I told him it sounds like the valve train and then left.
It is running perfect, I am getting 26mpg Average calculated by hand and everything else on it is awesome! Does anybody know what the heck
is going on or have had this happen to them? Obviously I will be bringing it in to the dealer, but I would like to have as much info as possible b4 bringing it in. Thanks and Great site!
