Long story short. I bought a 2014 Kia Cadenza used for about $16,000 back in 2018. Got it for a great price and it seemed like the research I did showed it was reliable.
I'm now in a weird spot. Of course I notice a quick 2 second rattle on cold starts right after my transferred warranty is out the window. Take it to my local Kia Dealer and they tell me it is the timing chain and would cost me about $2700. When you start it cold, again there is a rattle. My friend told me to start it so he could hear the noise turn it off and then start it again. The rattle did not happen the second time.
If I needed a new timing chain, wouldn't it rattle again right after I turn it off? Curious to see what the response has been. From the research I found, people who have had the timing chain replaced seem to hear the noise again?
