The engine of my 2008 CX-9 started making a rattling noise after about 5000 miles. Initially a faint rattle, it occurred at about 1500-2000 rpm while accelerating in every gear except 1st, and only when the engine was warm. By 6500 miles, it was making lots of noise as soon as the engine warmed up, regardless of what gear I was in or whether I was accelerating, coasting, or decelerating.
My Mazda dealer says they have no idea what it is, but they can definitely hear it, and they've been working on it for over a week. It also took the dealer two weeks in total (over three separate visits) to finally correct a pull-to-the-left alignment problem when the car was brand new, so I'm not sure if the rattle isn't something that simply wasn't tightened during those early visits.
Anybody with engine noise like this?
