     I bought my CR-V brand new, and ever since I've had it, it makes this single clunk noise when I come to a stop after driving it for approx. 30 minutes (sometimes less, sometimes more). It doesn't matter if the car is idling/running or turned off. It sounds like it's coming from the muffler/exhaust (rear passenger side). The sound never flucuates (same pitch, level, etc.) every time it happens. It sounds exactly as if someone crushed a (thick) tin can and then popped it back out. It's NOT the engine (cooling down ticks, etc.).
     I've taken it to the dealer FOUR times now since I've had it and it's never done it for them, even when I drove with them. It happens at least 1 out of every 3 times I drive it, but there is NO pattern at all. I could possible go a couple of days and it won't do it, but it usually does it at least once a day. It doesn't matter if it's cold, hot, raining, snowing, full car, only me, junk in the trunk, empty trunk, brakes on/off, in park/drive, etc.
     It doesn't seem to affect the performance of the vehicle at all (for now at least). It's just a stupid annoying clunk. If it doesn't happen within the first minute or two after stopping, it won't do it at all (during that particular "travel").
     Someone PLEASE help me to figure out what this is so I can stop getting frustrated about it! The dealer can't just arbitrarily replace anything without knowing what it is.
