Park --> Drive or Park -->Reverse Clunking Noise
So I have now noticed a loud clicking/clunking noise when shifting from P --> D or P --> R and back. The DD has 4500 miles on it. Anyone else experience this? Almost sounds like something is broke or about to break!

There was a service bulletin (21-010-12) for a valve body issue for model year 2011 and 2012, though the 2014 has a different transmission so that bulletin would not apply. Still, could be a similar valve body issue. Obviously you'll want to take it in, but I figure there's a 50% chance they'll say it's normal. Otherwise, I'm betting on a valve body issue.

I had this problem when I purchased the vehicle. As mentioned earlier, there was a TSB out to address the issue. Ever since then the vehicle has shifted very smooth.
I think this was the TSB: http://www.wk2jeeps.com/tsb/tsb_wk2_2101012.pdf

I have the same issue when parked on an incline. From park to drive or reverse, I heard a clunking noise from transmission. I have not taking it back to the dealer yet. In the mean time, before I park my D, I put the parking brake on and them place it I to park. The next time I drive, I put the D I to gear and release the parking brake. No clunk. An added step, but gives me peace of mind until I take it to the dealer.
