Engine Rattle

Honestly I'm not very handy with cars. I wouldn't even know what a torque converter bolt is. I was just trying to see if is likely a big job or not. It doesn't rattle on warm starts which makes me think it has something to do with the RPMs but that is just a guess on my part. When you say that service managers do what they please are you saying that it is worth asking for them to cover the job due to my low, 8000 miles? Is it even up to the service manager or would he have to ask Hyundai for an answer?

I am going to take it to the dealer for a couple of reasons. First of all that is the only CHANCE that I would have of getting it covered. Honestly, I think they should agree to cover it because of the low miles (to keep me as a future car buyer.) Also, I have not found a local shop near me that I really trust to do the work. I'd rather have the dealer do it even if I have to pay. Hopefully it will be something small like you spoke of (or maybe they will cover it.) Whatever happens I'm sure that I will be going into it with the chance of spending some real money as I am sure they will have to charge me at least an hour of labor to figure out what the problem is and I'm also sure that they can't even go to Hyundai without knowing what is wrong. So either way I am risking spending some money. I might just get lucky and have them cover it but who knows? Either way I want it physically looked at as you said rather then just having someone listen and give an opinion. It's sort of like a doctor running tests and not just looking at you and saying so and so is wrong. Take this and it will be all better. It needs to be looked at I am sure.
