    Has anyone determined the cause of this? I have the same issue. Car went to the dealer today and while they could hear the sound, they couldn't determine what was causing it.

    Has anyone figured out a solution to this?

    Mine also seems to start clicking switching to "B" from "D"

    I took mine in 2 weeks ago. They replaced the drivers side axle shaft and the noise went away. I hear it intermittently on the passenger side but not enough to warrant replacement per the dealer. This was going through the shop foreman since it was my fourth visit for it

    Per the foreman it appeared that the shaft was not lubricated properly during assembly which was causing a metal on metal contact

    Yes, very similar but more constant

    I finally had my car checked at the dealer. Even though they heard the noise they could not tell what it is causing it. They checked everything and told me the car is perfect. They do not have a clue of this noise.

    Anyone else figure this out? Was replacing the cv a long-term solution?
