Hi all,

New owner of 2014 300c 5.7 AWD. Curious to have you expert folks check out the sound this engine makes. I feel like it ticks way too much for a normal engine.

I also get this weird "kick in the back" kind of feeling at low speeds accompanied by whirring sound beforehand... Is this the AWD kicking in?

Here is the youtube video!

Yes its a vertical video.... I don't know what I was thinking. ;(

Sounds about right. Some really loud ticking normally indicates an exhaust manifold gasket failure & leak, exhaust manifold broken bolt or, and this is rare, a broken/cracked exhaust manifold but your engine doesn't seem to exhibit a loud ticking.

The lurch you are experiencing sounds like the transmission is downshifting or the torque converter is unloading and coming out of lock up.
