Sometimes I hear what I perceive as bearing rattle, kinda like the old days when you ran regular gas in a premium engine and the timing was thrown off as a result. I only here it when pulling at low RPM, driving slow. But the engine runs very strong, and again, I'm not sure if I'm really hearing what I think I am. Still, I'll mention it the next time I bring the car in for service. I'm still under warranty.
