I have the same problem. It has gotten a little worse, and lasts longer that it used to. I have 74K on mine. I have heard the same thing though about it being in the valve train. Other than that, the car runs great.

One question: Are the door locks supposed to automatically unlock when the car is put into park? Mine do not, and was wondering if it is a problem.
