I've got a SL AWD with everything but navigation. It's got about 11,000 miles on it. At around 7,000 miles, the engine/starter? started making an undesirable noise everytime I turned the engine over. Conditions have been hot and humid -- summer in the DC area.
Unlike other ignition/starter complaints on this site, the vehicle does turnover. I've never had problems starting it; it just makes this wierd noise (NOT the kind of sound a starter makes if you've ever tried to start a car that's already running; this is more like a high-pitched but soft "whine" mixed with a "chatter" -- it's a weak but noticeable sound).
I've listed this in the knowledge base on this site as well and will report back any findings my next trip to the dealer yields. Stay tuned ...
Anyone else having this problem?
