Car makes a clicking noise when i turn it off

Question

Well I just bought a new 08 cobalt and it makes a clicking noise whenever i turn it off. What is it? I've owned two cars before this one and neither of them made that sound.

Answer 1

Since its under warranty you should have the dealership look at it.

Answer 2

Quite possibly the clicking noise you hear is the engine cooling off.  Unless your temp gauge is running high or you have service engine lights on, it shouldn't be of a concern.  However, because it's new and all, it would be best to bring it back to the dealer and have them look at it.  If there is a problem, they should fix it free of charge.
