does anyone notice:

1)a weird creaking sound from the left rear when accelerating slowly with the wheel turned(like entering/leaving a parking space)

2)while in 2nd around 3000 RPM's a weird metal grinding/vibration sound coming from underneath the car???

This is a 2004 6M/T Touring with 1236 miles

and i drive the car very and i mean very gently with the exception of some full throttle 5th to 6th shifts on the hiway

 

Nope. Get it in for a checkup.
Take a ride with the Service Manager when you drop it off. Otherwize they will tell you your nuts and hand you the keys.

 

Not normal.......take it in.........

 

take it in as soon as possible. Does this happen all the time, or only some of the time? Do whatever possible to recreate the noise for the SM.

 

happens all the time.....more so when it's been cold out
that and the clutch makes a lot of noise when it's being presses/released
