try to put the gear in neutral for 2 seconds, the put in reverse, and see if that still gives you the clonking.

I am guessing the car was at the dealer for the seat heaters
Did you give them the list of other problems?

Its always a game sorting out your new-used car

Mine came from a lady who was certain it had new transmission- absolutly certain!
NOPE just the oil jet recall had been done
And within 2 months I was at the dealer for the replace trans job- thanks Warranty !

Service Writers-- Oh yeah its all good now- like new
Customer hears
All new thanks!

I'm actually having the same problem as you. I also wonder what was that clonking noise. After I reverse and put it in drive...i have to wake a few seconds before it kicks into gear. Does that also happen to you?

If it's coming from there I don't think it will be the transmission. I have a clicking sound when I'm turning and accelerating at the same time. I believe that my ball joints or something in there is what's making the noise in my problem. I have about 76k miles on mine how about your car?
