Hello,

i just got a race red 2014 v6 Performance pack with 7000 KMs on it.
i love the car, but i notice that it takes a while to start. is this common?

also, i see a small spot under the that looks like its bubbling. is there anything to slow it down? i was thinking of coating the whole hood with the rust check rust inhibitor. good idea?


thanks for the help

 

1. No it should not take take a while to start. It should start right up. Have it checked.

2. A small spot under what? If you have paint blistering on the bottom of the hood all the rust inhibitor in the world isn't going to help. The hood is aluminum and they have a corrosion issue that is very common. If the car is still under warranty take it to the dealership and they should repair the blistering paint at no cost.

Finally, you indicated that you have a "truck" in the bottom half of your post.

 

I think he meant trunk.

 

i should have said hood

 

The V6 should start right up with little drama. You should have the dealer check it as well as the corrosion issue.

 

30k miles later my 2014 V6 starts right up and always has.

 

thanks, i will. it takes maybe 1 to 1.5 seconds to start.
