Turbo wastegate rattle. There is a TSB for it. You would be experiencing loss of power.

Could you point me to this TSB? Mine rattles and the dealer says it’s normal. I do know when they gave me a loaner it ran way better then mine and didn’t rattle

I’d bet my paycheck on it. Especially as his is a 2018 (they corrected the problem for 2019+) and this is a well known issue. Whereas a hunting tranny causing grinding is not.

you get to keep your paycheck. They took it for a test drive and were able to re-create the problem. I’m still at the dealership and haven’t driven it yet, but I’m hopeful once the work is done the noise will be gone. Thanks for the help.
