Transmission does a harsh/jerk downshift when coming to a stop. It does it randomly, usually when coming to a stop slowly. It's not safe, feels like the car lurches into 1st. Toyota reset the computer and it was ok for a bit but came back. I'm thinking it's the software of the car. Toyota said it's a learning transmission, but somethings wrong. It's scary to drive in traffic, and only have 33K miles. The transmission fluid was change by Toyota last year with the ws and it has not fixed this issue. I'm worried the car may stall in stop and go or lurch so hard firm the 2-1 downshift that I might hit the car in front of me and cause an accident.
