Consumer Description

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.
