You need to bring up the lack of response with customer service.
In the mean time, check your vacuum tubing leading to the left side of the transmission. If a hose is cracked or a connector torn or ripped, then your transmission will shift hard. If the tubing leading to the transmission appears intact, then see if it holds a vacuum; if not, then you may have a bad vacuum modulator.

While this also for diesels, many points still apply.
