Mine did this as well, they replaced the oil slinger, pinion bearings, axle bearings, and axle seals. It's been fine ever since

did the oil slinger tsb.. noise came back a month later :-(
yesterday, UPS just showed up w/ a brand new custom 1 piece aluminum driveshaft system thats now sitting in my living room... i hope it helps but im not holding my breath. im banking that losing the heavy factory steel cheap-o shaft may help.. it sure cant hurt anything being 1/3 less heavy & of better quality and no more "jump roping" of the shaft.

I had tsb 13-7-7 done twice on my 2011. Came back within 10 miles both times.

I had the first TSB, the tighten pinion nut 90 degrees done. Noise happened same day as I was leaving the stealership! Of course the service writer didnt hear it. It finally progressively got worse so I took it back, same said dealer performed tsb 13-7-7 claiming it was the mechanic who over tightened the pinion nut and not faulty parts. A month later, after listening to a roaring coming from my rear end I went to another dealer who performed the same tsb once again. Fast forward a few weeks, noise had returned, they ordered a new driveshaft. After the new driveshaft, it was noise free for about 2 weeks, now its back yet again. Dealer says they're contacting field service engineer about issues. We'll see.
