    Hi all -

    I was driving at about 30-45+ today and whenever I hit the gas there was a rattling noise before the (auto transmission) shifted gears. I've read that the 2017 model has some issues with transmission slippage - is that a possible explanation? I've only had the truck a few weeks but haven't noticed this before.

    I tried - and failed to capture some audio. Best described as a rattling almost like there was something small vibrating in the car.

    Of note - this is a Certified Pre Owned well within the warranty so debating bringing it back to the dealer (or maybe getting diagnosed elsewhere).
