My 2012 Yaris sedan makes a metal noise only the first time I turn it on(cold start). After the first crank, there's no longer that noise.

I am thinking it is my starter and maybe my flywheel. I want to get more opinions here

Starter isn't disengaging.

Short answer: Need new starter

I've had this for 2 years and I just deal with it, it's probably the retraction spring.

(it's on the list)
