Hello everyone,
The 2015 Challenger R/T we ordered and bought is mostly a great car but sometimes this transmission acts odd.
Sometimes when rolling along at 5-7 mph in a parking lot, it seems to FLARE when it shifts to 2nd gear. The other day it upshifted at a low speed and it actually felt as if I had been rear ended. No kidding, I looked in the mirrors expecting to see a car on my ass end.
This is not a common thing, it has only happened 5 or 6 times since we took delivery in March of 2015. It has always been at low speeds going into 2nd gear.
Is this a common thing, easy to fix? Yeah... the warranty is still in effect but if this is common but not harmful I'll just deal with it. Thanks, Greg

My A8 on my Hellcat behaves similar, from time to time at low speeds.

The first time I felt the "bump" when it shifted at low speed, I did the same thing as you, I looked to see if someone had tapped me from behind.

Depending on which Mode I have it in, the shifts, both up and down, can be pretty noticeable.
