I just went to the dealership today because my engine "ticking" (direct injection) seemed louder than normal. As he was looking the car over, he noticed I was leaking hydraulic fluid from the Belt Tensioner. The mechanic said there is a service bulletin on the Belt Tensioner and it is prone to wobble which will cause a noise. I did not have an appointment, so he made time to replace it. I have to bring the car back next week for the "ticking" issue.

The sun visor was not secure on mine and it almost drove me nuts.
