Today the cause finally presented itself: the bottom bracket shell is detached from the frame on the driveside. Fortunately, I am the first owner. Now I get to test the fabled trek warranty.
What a coincidence. 2007 5.2 Madone here as well. Same exact problem. And yes, Trek replaced it with a 5.9 frame. I just brought the Trek store the frame and they replaced it. Took roughly 4 weeks.
