Intermittent grinding or banging while acceleration. Only occurred three times, once from a stop. Once while making left turn and once while getting on freeway. Thinking either rear end or transmission. Your thoughts?

This sounds like the engine torque mount is out and needs to be replaced. Lift the hood and with the engine running have someone watch the engine to check for excessive movement when the transmission is put into drive then reverse. Here is a guide to show you what you are in for when doing the job and diagrams below to help you see what the job will be like for your car.

Can you please shoot a quick video with your phone so we can hear the noise? That would be great. You can upload it here with your response.

Check out the diagrams (below). Please let us know what happens.

Cheers, Ken
