hello
I wanted to provide an update on my 2017’s repair status and see if anyone has any thoughts
The car developed a slight knocking sound after about 8,100 miles- no oil consumption and bone stock. Fresh oil and filter before the sound. Always had excellent oil pressure also
The dealer thinks the noise is coming from the top end but it sounds like a rod to me. They called a field service engineer in to evaluate it and he directed them to change the oil to see if that made a difference (scheduled for Monday)
He also asked them to take the car to another dealership across town because that place also had a 350 making the exact same noise. They are also bringing in a more specialized engineer to evaluate both.
Given all the issues they have had with these motors you would think that it’s easier to just swap them out as opposed to all this.
Has anyone else had to live through this, especially the oil change (which I think is useless)
