I experience what I would consider some low frequency gear grumbling or whining (to be more specific) when slowing down sometimes. When I flip the shifter to manual mode, the transmission is either in 5th or 3rd when the noise/feeling is occurring. While I don't suspect anything is wrong, it's was definitely concerning to hear/feel the first. I'm used to it now though.

I'm experiencing this too. Very hard to describe. No vibration, just a sound that sounds like driving over rough pavement/droning in the cabin. I usually experience it from 35mph - 5mph, when decelerating from a higher speed (doing 50mph, slowing down coming to a light, starts making the sound ~35mph); as well as when I accelerate to ~30mph and hold there due to the speed limit. I've not tried any of the combinations above (TCS, 4WD lock, etc.) but I have switched the shifter to manual mode when I hear the sound and 90% of the time it's in 5th gear during deceleration, and in 3rd on acceleration.

Any new updates on this? Mine is going into the shop on Monday for what I think is a bad crank pulley bearing and to have any SW updates applied. I'm not going to bring this noise/vibration issue though.

no update, no change on the status of mine. still in the shop, next Tuesday will be 4 weeks, and two days total time in the shop for this issue.

That's unreal. I understand that our financial situations may differ, but if I were in your same position, I'd ask for the vehicle back and trade it immediately for something else. Hope you hear something soon...
