    My sister got a new civic couple of weeks ago. Everytime we drive
    more than 5 minutes and then stop and shut off the car. I can hear
    this ding ding ding metal sound around the engine/ muffler area. It
    will start to slow down and then stop when the engine get cold. This
    sound is exactly the same sound I heard in my old car. I know that
    there is nothing wrong w/ the civic. But I was wondering why it will
    happen to a brand new car. Can I fix this problem myself? Can I call
    up the dealership and ask them to fix it or will they ignore me for
    such small issue.

    It;'s the heat shields shrinking as they cool.

    There *might* be one loose, and there *might* be a TSB on this (ask your
    dealer), but chances are pretty good she'll just have to live with it.

    I've experienced this on both my Civics and a Subaru. Definately not an
    issue! It is a characterisitc of hot metal in temp flux!
