Why is my Ford Focus making a loud noise when I start the engine?

I have a 2019 Ford Focus and recently, when I start the engine, it makes a loud noise that seems to be coming from the front of the car. It sounds like a grinding noise and it only happens when I start the car, not when I'm driving. What could be causing this and how can I fix it?

It sounds like you may have a problem with your starter or starter solenoid. I recommend taking your car to a trusted mechanic to have it checked out.

This could be an issue with your serpentine belt or one of your pulleys. I suggest having a technician inspect it to determine the exact cause and make any necessary repairs.

Have you recently changed your oil? It's possible that your oil filter wasn't tightened properly and is causing the noise. I've had this happen to me before with my own car.
