 The engine knocks and rattle when it is first started sounds like there is either a valvtrain or piston slap problem in the engine. also the air conditioning has this odor that is really nasty to smell when you first turn on the unit. the brake pads have been replaced twice within the last year and the rotors have been replaced as well. dt
