Apparently this is a known Dodge issue and I wish I knew before buying into the family. Approximately 10 seconds after shutting off the car, a low clanking sound can be heard for roughly 30-40secs.

I've been told by Dodge repair techs that this is a common occurrence, but no recall has been put in place to address the issue. I was informed that the "actuator repair" took over 11 hours (which I honestly don't believe) to repair and is extremely costly if performed at the dealership (as are most things).
