Has anyone noticed any tapping or knocking noise when you start your lib? I have 85k on the engine with regular oil changes anyone!

Mine makes it at idle! Did that since the day I drove it off the lot.

I have heard that but lately I have heard of several Libertys with blown motors. Saw one at a dealer and another one here and one on craigs list. I hope this is not an up and comming trend!

Since we are on the topic of sounds coming from or motors. Is is just me but after years of many different vehicles from muscle car to true sports car to pick up. But this is the first time I have heard a noise for lack of a better discription when I turn the motor off it make a sound like a turbine winding down or a real powerful vaccune cleaner. I've had it for just a year, purchased used and other then the noise it sounds great and runs fine.
