At low speed when I first push or release the gas, I hear a click sound like it is in the dash. Has anyone noticed this? The van operates fine, but I notice the little sound at times.

I found a few TSB, one that include my build dates, which makes me think this might be related to premature wheel bearing failure.
I know a worn bearing can loosen an axle nuts, and a loose axle nut can cause axle clicking. So I'm keeping an eye on mine for signs of wheel bearing failure.
I know that is I fully crank the steering and drive slowly in circles, the driverside is slightly noisy. The tech mentioned that if this happens it could be bearing related. I hear no noise at high speed though. Anyways, I'm just monitoring for now as the noise isn't so bad.

Interesting. i have a creaking noise when i crank the steering wheel all the way to the right and reverse. now, i sometimes get a slight creak when at full crank to the left and drive forwards quickly from stop (like when you you pull out from street parking).
what are signs of a premature wheel bearing failure?

Usually the signs are a howling sound increasing with speed. This sound will change when turning, due to sideways forces applied to the bearing. Sometimes you can hear it by spining the wheel freely (non propultion wheel) or by feeling looseness in the wheel itself when the bearing is really shot.
But my tech also mentioned that you can also tell by sound slow tight turns (forwards or reverse) and listening for grinding noise differences between sides. Mine only does noise in those slow tight turns, but it almost sounds like the brake pads sliding on the front disk.
Creaking noises you mention are most likely not wheel bearing, but maybe upper strut bearing, control arm bushings, swaybar links or the TSB for the knuckle creaking.
I updated in other threads, but sharing here for completeness:
My issue came back a few months after replacing the axle nuts. The dealer let me drive a brand new 2023 PacHy on their lot that was worse then mine, so they said no point in replacing parts.
So the replaced both axles nuts again, over torqued them slightly and added a second nut on top to lock them in place. They marked the nuts to see if they ever come loose again.
It's been quiet ever since. Will update if this issue ever comes back.

I never noticed this before but after reading this thread I did notice this noise when I moved my wife's van into the driveway the other day. Unless it changes and gets worse i won't worry much about it.
As my previous comments, so far so good after replacing, retorquing and doubling the axle nuts. They haven't budged since, without the second nut they kept backing out, causing the issue to come back:

I might preform this as a DIY if the dealership won't do it for me. Did they happen to give any part numbers on your work order for just the nut?
Thanks, for the reply. Any idea how much mileage since the fix?
I don't know the part for the second nut, looks like they just re-used one they had around to be honest.
I had about 3,000km since that fix.
Previously they just replaced the axle nuts with locktite, but that only lasted a couple months before the noise came back and could see from the markings it was backing out:

I have a 2020 Pacifica with 45K on it. Purchased it used at 32K and do not recollect hearing this click noise. Think it developed overtime and now there is small jerk associated with the clicking noise. I plan to take it into the dealer next week. Lets see what they say. Glad i could reach here, I was questioning myself if it was normal for a Pacifica Hybrid as I only feel it at lower speeds and with EV only mode.

Any follow-up here? I just took my 2020 in and had some work done to the ABS module and BCM module under extended warranty. As soon as I drove it off the lot, I noticed this clicking that sounds like a relay switch when I press the gas, and also let off the gas. Gas. I am in EV mode.

I had the same creaking noise. Sounded like an old car or a squeaky door. Mine had Faulty wheel hubs and they had to be replaced. They also found a missing bolt on the floor board which caused a creaking noise in the rear of the van. I also have the clicking sound at slow speeds/ start and stop now. I have a 2023 hybrid.
2021 limited 54k KM now, had exactly issue since about 30k KM, this click sound is getting louder and noticeable. After I read this thread, i thought the axle nut must be the root cause because the issue description is 100% match mine. Next, I bought a 34mm socket, open the wheel center cap of both front wheel, and turned out both nuts are tight and secure nicely. I can not screw in the nuts any bit using the socket and extension bar. And guess what, even i did not able to tighten the nut any, the click sound is gone. It has gone for 2 days. I will keep observe and update.
