There is an initial ting followed by a slightly quieter ting about a 1/2 second later. I have asked my dealer about this and they had no idea what it could be, so I'm bringing it in next week. Still trying to determine if this is really a problem, I re-read the owners manual this morning and come across this statement regarding the VDC system: "The computer has a built in diagnostic feature that tests the system each time you start the engine and move the vehicle forward or in reverse at a slow speed. When the self-test occurs, you may hear a clunk noise........." Therefore, I am curious if anyone else has noticed this noise everytime you start the truck and first reach approx. 13 MPH. Thanks.

That's a normal sound GB...our previous Honda CRV made the same sound as well.
