Loud 'grinding' noise in front axle. Found front RT wheel bearing bad & left wheel bearing also bad. Replaced both wheel bearings under warranty. During install dealer stripped bolts on left axle so entire left axle/cv-boot assembly also replaced. Loud grinding noise in right rear axle only when AWD system engages on Snow/Ice. Dealer unable to test/check AWD system due to dry pavement conditions. Need Snow/Ice on road to test according to dealer.

Same problem as listed before. Sounds like playing cards on bicycle spokes. Have taken it to a different dealer. They think it's a different problem. They have ordered the parts. Will call when parts are in.

It sounded like a deck of cards attached to bicycle spokes. Service tech rode with me and noticed that the rpms would jump up when we were just driving at a steady speed. Said it was the torque converter. Part replaced. Vehicle runnng great.
Found 16 fault codes for transmission, such as stuck solenoids and stuck torque converter clutch. Cleared and will see if anything comes back. Transmission falls out of drive occasionally.
