Every 6-8 weeks upon start up my engine will make this sputtering sound. Sounds like the engine is trying to expel fluid or impurities. It is very subtle and sporadic.
Along with this, the vehicle will not roll out of the driveway like it normally does. I double check to see if the brake is engaged, and it never is.
As I drive along the sputtering continues, I need to use a little extra pressure on the gas pedal to get going, and then 5 minutes later these issues disappear. only to reappear 6+ weeks later. Also I will add that if I'm at a stoplight that is on a severe incline there is an added noise, the engine gets exceptionally loud. It sounds strained.
I drive it about 100 miles a month. vehicle is always parked outside. the vehicle gets 6 month check ups at the dealership. I've never mentioned this to them, as I don't know how to describe the opposing problem. And for something that happens with such irregularity, I just didn't think finding an accurate diagnoses would be possible.
This issue has been presenting itself for 12 months now.
