Default 2011 sport rattling underneath

2011 sport...anyone experience rattleing noise underneath the car when dead cold (first start of the day)
best way I can describe it is...it sounds like a corroded, loose cat shroud, or sheild... but goes away when the car is hot

I have a 2011 Outlander Sport and never have heard such a rattle. Did you check your spare tire area to see if there are any loose items laying around?

It goes away once it's up to normal operatings temps..so I doubt it's that,, and it's distinctly up front, and louder on the outside... when I walk by the front to open the gate that is where I hear it, and the noise itself is described as above

I'm about a thousand % sure you are still under your warranty so take it to the dealer, they'll give you a loaner, let the car sit overnight, and they can start it in the cool morning to replicate the noise, diagnose it, repair it, and then you can go about enjoying your car.

Never heard it. Have then flash the ecu while it's there. Crank sensor values need to be corrected.

Kool I'll make sure I mention it, is it a TSB, if it's not I'm sure I'll get the cold stare look or the "we don't do that bs"
