Car has sat since Friday. Hopped in and hit auto and again *BAM*. I am really bummed. My wife and her family have always had Hondas. Noises like this are why I did not replace my Silverado with another one (look up "silverado slip yoke" or "piston slap" and see what I mean).
Has anyone else had this issue? I am not even at 2000 miles yet. I am pretty peaved. Who makes a good reliable vehicle anymore?
*Sigh...*

Don't jump to the conclusion that it's something severe. *something* may have gotten into your air system and is probably hitting the blower fan. Next time it happens, jump out of the car, and see if it's louder under the hood. If not, probably something hitting the blower fan blades. Not sure how the cabin filter works on the RL, but on my Toyota Echo and Prius the filter is right above the blower. I had this happen to my Echo. Turns out it was just a leaf hitting the blower blade.
