Vibration/Shudder and sound when coming to a stop
Ok so i purchased a 2014 Caravan from a local Dodge dealerahip. When i picked it up after driving for about 45 minutes whenever coming to a complete stop you can feel a slight vibration/ shudder and a noise. (Van has a new transmission and torque converter dealership installed) I cant even begin to describe the noise cause ive never heard a car make that kind of noise. I will say the vibration is very slight and the noise isnt very loud but still noticeable to me. Took it back to dealership and they said they thought it was a misfire (why im not sure) so they replaced the spark plugs. Picked it back up and van did the same thing as i was stopping to turn into my neighborhood. Called dealership and dropped it back off a few days later. They have since replaced the torque (again) and for whatever reason now are replacing the motor mounts. The service rep tells me they can feel and hear the symptoms just cant figure out exactly what the cause is so they are just shooting in the dark. Had anyone else had this happen and if so what was the cure if there is one? The symptoms seem to only happen when van is at full operating temp. Van runs and drives great this little issue just has me (and the mechanics at Dodge) baffled. I have video where you can hear the vibration/ sound but it wont let me upload it for some reason....
