I also hear it a little moving forward and turning the wheel(when cold). Once I get going down the road and it gets warmed up, the noise goes away. Goes into the shop Monday. I told the service advisor about the TSB. She said she would look into it. I will report my results here after the service visit.

Just got my car back from the dealership. The Mechanic was showing me the TSB reports on this issue. The TSB # and what it said was just what I have been reading on this site and this thread. Knowing that I changed the fluid myself 3 months ago, and did not put the whole 4 oz bottle of additive in. They and I decided to just replaced the gear lube and put in a whole 4 oz bottle of additive. (The owners manual says to put in 2.5 ozs, but, put in the whole 4 ozs. For anyone changing their own). If the noise comes back, they will move on to the next step, seal replacement and such. I will drive it for 500 miles per TSB, and see if the noise returns. They did this at no charge, under warranty. I am happy and pleased with this dicision. Noise is gone. Time will tell.
