Need Help with a NOISE!!

Since the first time I started the TL-S at home it would make a growling noise for a few seconds when I pull out of the driveway. It sounds like an electric motor. Kinda like when the mirror adjusts with reverse. But louder. It reminds me of a load-leveling suspension. My Dad had a T-Bird that would raise or lower the car depending on the weight of the load. The T-Bird made a similar noise.

Anybody know if this thing has a load adjusting suspension? Or what the noise might be?

-Thanks, Travis.

Yea...it's normal... Everytime you start up and go, you will hear that buzz twice... Once about 2-5 mph, and another one at about 15mph...

Completely normal...happens each and every time you start up the car...

its the abs system. you can feel it on the brake pedal when it does it. my guess is its priming its system or doing a self test?

I agree. I think that it is priming or calibrating in some fashion...
