Default grinding /clunking beween reverse and drive

Has anyone had this problem and got it resolved? My dealer says its the nature of the beast but its kind of anoying .....3800 smiles on it know ..Had my spotting issue taken care of the car looked awsome told the dealer that I would be back in hour to pick it up said why not put it outside because it was taking up his bay he said no way who knows the sky might fall on it , well when I got back they had an accident a piece of their cieling fell on it and scratched the side of the car, so the body shop did a great job of fixing it then yesterday ...I hit a deer.errr surprisingly litte damage all the plastic in front paid off ..Killed the deer... and have two small dents on hood and the plastic light bezel flow off and one tab on back broke. brakes work good! deer landed on hood hit head on windshield skided off .. ..... Also anyone fix the flapping issue at over 70mph??

You know, if it weren't for bad luck, you'd have no luck at all. []

Hopefully bagging your first deer with THE CAR resulted in at the very least a head worth mounting? Mopar2ya is correct, THE CAR should only be used for small game like rabbits, squirrels etc. as they are easily taken. Larger game are tougher on cars and that is why it is better to use like a SUV for them!

Hope you had a Hunting License. Boy you have had your share of bad luck.....did you own a Chevy in a past life? I wish you all the best of luck in the future...No wait a minute, I had better save a little for myself. Hope your string of bad luck is over..............

How do you get 'grinding' with a automatic tranny? A small 'clunk' I could live with but you might want to run this issue up the chain of command, perhaps to the zone or district mgr. Good luck.

I dont consider myself as having bad luck at all , I happend to have a small rock chip and that got fixed with the sheetrock damage and I killed a freeking deer and NO real damage happened to the car! I was amazed!! anyway the real problem.. that some also have had, when I back up then put it in gear its either like a u joint clunk or like a bicicle derailer between gears .. or alittle like a dodge mini van when its first put in gear.. it varies and feels like two gears tring to get together???
