Driveline clunk noise in rear of vehicle when coming to a stop between 3 to 6 mph downshifting. This happens no matter what the road surface your on. This is a new vehicle with less than 500 miles, after I went to my county probate office to get my licence tag, this occurred every time I came to a full stop at a sign, light or behind a vehicle in front of me. Took vehicle to dealership, service manager came out to see if anything was loose in trunk, spare tire,etc. No problem found, I was told to bring car back Monday morning for further diagnosis where techs can find problem. I have heard others complain of this issue with their Challengers but no avail, or they would tell the owners that this was normal. No this is not normal in the driveline, please investigate this issue so it can be resolved with Chrysler wether a recall or TSB needs to be enforced to solve this driveline issue. Thanks for your time in this matter.

Own a 2015 Dodge Challenger r/t with 8-speed automatic transmission. When decelerating to brake to a stop and car auto shifts down from gear 2 to gear 1, the car jerks forward a bit and I hear a light popping noise coming from rear underneath trunk area. It happens when car is decelerating down in the 15 mph to 0 mph range. Only noticed this happening when decelerating. This was noticeable within first 2 weeks of buying car brand new. Took the car to Dodge dealer. Dealer applied a transmission firmware update. This did reduce the forward jerking push motion, but there is still a slight forward jolt and the knock/popping noise is still present.
