Sounds like a belt - happens all the time and loud. There is a cover over the whole engine so I cannot see the belt, test tightness or look for cracks. I also need a reliable mechanic so I can stop going to the dealer all the time. Thanks.
Also, there has been a clicking noise that the dealer says is a wheel hitting the wheel cover. Can I put a cushion in there or something. Now all I hear is the chirping...like a bird!
