    Horrendous vibration during engine start, last approx 3 seconds, has anyone observed or heard anything out of norm?

    My vehicle was parked at parking lot 2 for the last 6 weeks at Los Angeles International Aiport, unused.

    I performed 4 restarts, and nothing unusual. The shuttle bus driver commented it maybe the pistons lack of oil or lubrication which caused the unusual sound.

    Should I be concerned?

    This is a commonly reported issue with the Gen III and is extensively discussed on other threads. Search is your friend.
