Check the oil make sure it doesn't smell like gas. Gas could be getting into the oil
So what did you do then?...find the Service Manager...and ask why your complaint wasn't documented as you had asked...or just take that paperwork 'as is' and go on home..?nox-rocks said:I took mine in for my first oil change Saturday and mentioned that mine was doing the same thing and that I wanted it documented so they would have record of it. He said he would mention it to his boss but if I was only hearing it every third day or so they would probably never hear it. When I paid for the oil change I noticed it was never documented that there was an ocassional start up noise noted on the ticket anywhere, like I never even mentioned it.

Im planning on taking it to the dealer when I get a chance. Its hard to leave a car at the dealer all day. I need it for work!..I have been trying to monitor it. I do notice that it happens when the engine is cold or hot..Im also due for an oil change, so Im going to see if the gas in the oil issue is related. I use the car for work, so I start it probably 6-10 times a day. out of those, I hear it maybe once..sometimes twice..somedays not at all!
I would like to look into this further for you. In order to more research, I will need the VIN for the vehicle as well as the dealership name. Please feel free to contact me via private message. Thank you in advance.nox-rocks said:I took mine in for my first oil change Saturday and mentioned that mine was doing the same thing and that I wanted it documented so they would have record of it.

Actually there were 3 pieces of paper and I didn't check them all till I got home. I didn't see the concern on the sheet for the payment and I figured it would be documented somewhere else in the 3 pieces of paper. When I was going thru the paperwork and looking for the concern to be documented that's when I realized it was not documented anywhere. Since I only had 1000 miles on the car I assumed I would mention it again on the next oil change and see what they would think then.IceMan said:So what did you do then?...find the Service Manager...and ask why your complaint wasn't documented as you had asked...or just take that paperwork 'as is' and go on home..?
I didnt notice it at all for the first 7000-8000 miles. Then it started. sometimes 2 times a day, once a day,or not at all. It didnt do it at all yesterday. I started it about a dozen times yesterday. I was thinking about it yesterday. at that 7000-8000 mile period, I took the car in for the ' Gas smell in the oil and low MPG' issue. They flashed the firmware.. Im wondering if it has something to do with that.islaguy said:wrusprod
You say it seems to be happening more often...can you explain the timeline?I mean if GMC says it's normal "on opccasion" that makes me wonder WHY...normal to me means EVERYTIME!.
