Update
The tech reset my trans adaptation values and I then went for a ride with the senior shop foreman and guess what, it barely made the sound, just like the 05 we drove. When we returned to the shop I told the tech and he could not believe either as he heard the thud many times when driving the car. We summized it was the trans readaptation that made it better; well, it's been about a week now and the thud is back in full volume only from time to time however but when it does it, it's always at the same deaccelration speeds/points. When I go for the 1000 mile I'll ask the foreman go for another ride and maybe it will make the sound and be loud enough; but from the responses I've got here it sounds like we all may have this very issue from time to time. I also have noticed the sound at slower speeds/down shift points while letting completly off the gas just as the car makes it's downshift. Maybe once I get past the 1000-1200 miles point and I can open her up I'll forget all about it

Yes I think that will help for sure . I'm just the type of person that notices these unusual noises etc, and it looks like some other's here hear it too. So you've never heard this noise in your car or are the tunes always on?

Please let me know who the dealer is so that I can take my car elsewhere.
I hope they fix your problem but not by taking my car out.
