My car has about 6K miles. Just recently, every once in a while when coming to a stop it feels like the tranny drops into the low gear pretty hard. Obviously it is still under warranty, but it is a pain in the *** to drop off get a loaner, blah blah blah. Like I said this has happened just recently and not all the time, and I know when i bring it in of course it will work fine. My question is should I be worried it is something major or could it be a software glitch? It almost seems the tranny doesn't know what to do and just bangs into the low gear. Before I bring it to the dealer I thought I would ask for opinions.
Thanks

Had similar issue and it was a software fix. Won't your dealer pick your car up at home or work?
