I have not found any reports of this.

When shifting out of P - typically going P -> R when backing out of the garage, there would be an audible chirp, upon initial movement (not upon shifting) - it’s not high pitch like brake squeal, but sounds like a sudden burst of a muffled tire squeal sound.

At first I thought it was the parking brake still grabbing, but I think I have noticed the chirp in situations where parking brake wasn’t applied prior to shifting out of Park.
 
When going into gear you are chirping tires?? I haven't seen that since a Hurst controlled 900HP Supercharged Bel air my dad used to have. lol

Serious note anyway you can have someone watch the outside of the vehicle when you do this, maybe video? Does it happen every time or just the first time you start up?
 
Momentary serpentine belt slip as the gear is engaged and rpm drops sharply? Unlikely on the Grenadier but had a similar issue on another vehicle and traced it down to a failing/weak belt tensioner.
