My 2011 Laredo with a Hemi V8 automatic is having trouble downshifting around 40 mph. Most of the time it acts hesitant to downshift and feels like it might stall, and sometimes it shifts really hard with a clunking sound. It actually slows the vehicle down a little bit without me pressing the brake pedal.
This issue usually occurs when I am slowing down after exiting a freeway or otherwise slowing down from a speed above 40 mph. It happens only as the vehicle passes 40 mph.
A couple computer updates/resets by the service tech did nothing. The tech mentioned that the only option might be to take the transmission apart to see what's going on. That sounds fairly drastic. You can never pack a suitcase the same way twice.
Should I live with the issue, or have the dealer take the transmission apart and investigate while it's still under warranty? Any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks.
