Jolting on downshifting : 5>4 and 2>1
Have been noticing this frequently, pretty much daily actually, after getting my first service done. I'm at 4xxx miles now, 2016 RT AWD. When slowing down for stoplights and such, I've noticed that when it downshifts from 5th to 4th and from 2nd to 1st that it jolts. It's not a smooth downshift and especially with the 2nd > 1st gives you basically a double rock back and forth when it jolts from the downshift and then actually comes to a stop. Very annoying.
Anyone else having this issue? I drive pretty conservatively for the most part. Don't use the paddle shifters either this is with the automatic shifting.

Sorry to hear that! I would recommend visiting your local dealership for additional diagnosis. I would also recommend offering to do a test drive with a service advisor or technician in the vehicle with you. I'd be happy to follow up with your dealership for you if needed. Just PM our page with your VIN and let me know!

I'm about fed up and ready to ask for the Durango to be replaced.
Off topic, I'll also mention that the crash avoidance system also appears to be faulty. At random, the Durango will suddenly make that loud alert and apply the brakes. This is under normal driving conditions with no car in front of me, on surface streets and highways. It has only happened about 7 or 8 times, but fear it is going to cause an accident so I disabled the function. I love paying for technology that doesn't work /sarcasm
