I have recently been experiencing a single metallic ping on startup of the vehicle (immediately after crank/turnover of engine) after it has been sitting overnight or for extended periods of time. Once the initial ping happens you cannot replicate it until it a few hours or more have passed of the vehicle sitting. The vehicle runs and drives fine with no knocks or pings while driving and I have had no loss in power from the vehicle.

It's still under warranty have a delaer check it. It may be considered normal though

Thanks, I appreciate the reply. I'll make an appt with the dealer. So a single ping isn't necessarily something detrimental? If so that's good to hear. Thanks again.
