Hi I became the owner of a CBP 2013 TL SH-AWD Tech back in August. Car has been great so far, with the exception of cold weather.

In cold weather (22*-28*) I have been getting a lifter knock (or so it sounds to me) for the first 5-6 mins when idling. Not overly loud, but it was there. I actually had the car idling because I was clearing snow off of it and didn't notice outside but the noise was there when I got back in.

It only has 2000 miles on it, not driven a whole lot since August, is it normal?

This is the first import I have ever owned so maybe there are quirks on here that I don't know about? The dealer said normal, but my mechanical ability says otherwise.

What say you guys.

 

I say its under warranty and you drive it back to the dealership and tell them to fix the issue. standard warranty is 5 years or 60k miles. extended warranty is 7 years 100k miles. when a bird poops on my car i take it back to the dealership and have them fix it . I get my $ worth out of a warranty. Acura has been pretty good in the past (to me) about making their cars work and their customer happy. Its always easier just to call the service dept up there and talk to a guy before you bring it in.
