Hard Downshift on 2011 R350 4Matic, 134,000mi
Group,
I've only had the car since 1/15 so I'm getting used to how it feels.
It seems to me that it has a hard downshift based on braking pressure. Is that a feature? If I take a long slow stop to an intersection it downshifts smoothly. If I get on it for a faster stop the downshift is really pronounced almost like I hid the - paddle and forced a downshift. I guess I'm just wondering if it is supposed to do that? I performed the "pedal to the floor" transmission reset procedure but can't really tell if it worked.
TIA for comments and advice, this is a good group from what I've read.

The car got from SC to OK and back to SC while only racking up 102 miles? I'm thinking Carfax is not all that accurate.
It has 130,000+ now and the ATF hasn't been referenced since 40,365. Might be time again, eh?
