Downshifts After Stop

2011 RAM 1500 HEMI.

When coming to a stop, the transmission downshifts into first AFTER the stop is completed.

Seems I have heard of a TSB for this.

Dealer was absolutely clueless.

Any ideas??

Thankx!!!

How do you know that what you're feeling is the trans shifting? I suspect you may be getting the "sloshing gas tank" that Muggus mentioned. Try shifting into Neutral as you're coasting down, and see if you get the same thing. Or, have your dealer tech ride with you with a scan tool, displaying Current Gear and Target Gear. Then you can see what's really happening with the trans. Target Gear will change (from 3 to 1, for example) at the START of a shift; Current Gear will change at the END of the shift.
