Okay, here's the deal. I am going to try and describe this with as much detail as I can to see who else has the problem and what might fix it. This is extremely difficult to diagnose because it is intermittent, but it is always for a few minutes after the car is turned on.
Occasionally, when I first start the car, I get a fairly loud vibration/rattle that sounds like it is coming from the engine compartment. The sound remains when I turn the AC/blower fan off. When I start moving, the sound goes away, but if I stop and idle, the sound is back. The sound tends to be noticeable more often when I am shifted into Reverse or Drive. After everything warms up, the sound appears to go away. The pattern of the rattling sound itself is similar to the sound that the exhaust makes when you stand by it if the car is on.
My theory is that the exhaust rattles a lot and the vibration itself is moving all the way up to the engine. This is causing the sound to sound like it is coming from the front of the vehicle when I am sitting in the driver seat.

- Does anyone else have a similar issue?
- Did anyone get this resolved by a dealer?
- Do you think it is actually the exhaust, or something else?
