Hi all,

Ok this one is gonna be hard to explain. I have a noise that i get for about 2 seconds when
accelerating out of a dead stop..Its kinda like a grinding sound, but i dont think anythings grinding.
It seems like its coming from the engine area not the brakes...Its not loud either, i can only ear it
if my music is off..so im at a loss for what to do. Should i take it into the dealer to check or just wait
for the scheduled service and mention it then(not for another 5,000 miles). And the car is bran new
05 with just over 5,000 miles on it. Any body have any experience like this?
