2009 Caliber Knocking/Rattling Noise
Hi,
I have a 2009 Dodge Caliber (2.0L V6 Auto) with 93,000 miles on it. Earlier this week, the car began making this rattling noise on the passenger side of the engine. It's been coming and going, sometimes theres no noise, other times it can be very loud and obnoxious. I've seen that quite a few of these cars have problems with the alternators that sound similar to this, but a few friends of mine that are mechanics have heard it and thought it could be the motor. Well, when I came home this morning from a quick run to Dunkins, it was being especially obnoxious, so I popped open the hood and recorded it. Maybe someone can give me some advice towards it?
BTW, I recently (last week) switched it over to synthetic oil. Could that have caused it? (I'm not too smart with these cars- I can change the oil and thats about it)
I have a video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33zpz...ature=youtu.be
Thanks,
Ben

Scooter,
If you're having problems pin-pointing the problem with your vehicle, you may want to inquire with a Dodge dealer. They have to most up to date diagnostic equipment, to help repair your Caliber.
