Shifting Issue / Differential Groan
I just dropped off my 2016 for shifting issues and while there told them about the rear end groan. My bumper to bumper warranty is out and only have powertrain left. I hope they can fix these issues. The torque converter has already been replaced due to the shudder but now it shifts rough randomly. I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Well the results weren't what I expected. The shifting issue I was having ended up being a TSB on the adaptive learning. Since I was out of bumper to bumper warranty, if I wanted the shifts to be reset it was going to cost me. It didn't do it all the time so I left it as is. The tech that worked on my car was a Camaro/Corvette powertrain technician. He explained the adaptive learning in great detail and it made sense. The groaning in the rear would only happen in the morning while turning on a cold start. So when I went on a test drive with him the next morning, it only did it once out of 10 turns. His recommendation was to change out the differential fluid to the newer fluid. I decided to go with it. So far it hasn't done it anymore in the last 3 days.

Same problem here with the groan. It sounds like a loud low-pitched metal on metal groaning noise. Obviously, something is happening.

Well the groan is back every morning. So much for replacing the fluid. Since it only does it in the mornings, I'm leaving it alone now.

Just dropped mine off at the shop today for the groan. Same symptoms as others. I only hear it on the first couple of cold turns.

I changed my rear diff fluid a couple of months ago (on ramps) and that fixed the problem for me.
