Mine did the same a couple times. Just like Windows, I powered it off, and back on, and it was fine.

The second time, I just went on my way, and it settled right down.

If it becomes common, I'll head to the dealer with it. But, I'd bet dollar to doughnuts they won't be able to replicate it.

Wow,
I think "loud banging" needs investigating, not sure If I could let it go. Sounds stupid, but if it re-occurs, I'd start taping the starts with a video camera.
I've been on the fix-it side, and you really can't fix what isn't broken. That is another way of saying "could not duplicate"

I had this happen just after I washed the car during this past weekend. Turned it on, the sound happened, turned it off, turned it on again, sound happened, turned it off, never returned. Though the sound was not distinctly metallic in nature it couldn't have been plastic with the loudness and force the banging was doing. I suspect it was in the transaxle.
