Default Rubbing noise

I have a brand new 08 JK unlimited less then a month old. I知 getting a weird vibration/rubbing noise from the front end. It痴 very sporadic and hard to replicate. I only hear it at slower speeds less then 20 mph. I have checked for signs of rubbing with no luck. I知 going to try to run it by my dealer, but I have a feeling the there not going to hear it. I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this same issue.

I think that I found the fix in the form of a TSB, but the problem is my jeep was built after the TSB. So it should be fixed from the factory right? Here is the TSB that most resembles my problem.



NUMBER: 21-002-07 REV. B
GROUP: Transmission
DATE: July 17, 2007

SUBJECT:
Flash: Torque Converter Shudder / Shift Quality Improvements / DTC P0732

OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves reprogramming the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) with new software and replacing the torque converter as required.

SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The vehicle operator may experience one or more of the following symptoms:

1. Transmission Shudder - 42RLE All, 41TE CS/JS, 62TE CS/JS
a. This condition can only occur after the vehicle has been driven and the torque convertor is past the break in period. Torque Converter break in can be confirmed with the StarSCANョ.
b. If experienced, the shudder may occur when the transmission temperature is between 38ー C and 54ー C (100ー F and 130ー F) during steady state driving with the torque convertor in partial lock (EMCC) operation. The shudder feels like the vehicle
is being driven over rumble strips.
2. Torque Converter Pull In Bump - 41TE JS, 62TE CS/JS
a. This condition can occur due to abrupt torque converter clutch engagement during EMCC initialization.
