Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: When i accelerate, there is a whistling/rattling noise coming from the engine or front of the car. the dealership claims that this is a normal noise associated with the intake, but no new car should rattle/whistle this loudly!the noise becomes more audilble as the engine gets warmer or the temperature (weather) is hotter. i will file this complaint under "unknown" because this is my very first car and i am not familiar with cars and how they work. i am smart enough to know that this noise isn't normal. *jb
