Description of the problem | Since i bought the car, it has had numerous trips to the dealer for repair, including head gaskets, water pump and other things were replaced. Each time i received the car back, it still makes a "ticking noise" that makes my car sound like a diesel engine. My car is not a diesel!!! I am unsure what to do now that i have had the car for this length of time. All the times it was in for repair, i was told that all small engine cars will make that noise. *ak |
