Hard/No shifting?!?!

Yesterday on my way home I noticed that the car had failed to down shift at a light.. so it really bogged iteself trying to get through it.

Almost home and I come around a corner and the car takes forever to shift into 4th and when it does it snapped into 4th really hard...

Anyone else experience this with the Sport Automatic?

I drove it into work today and it didn't seem to have any problems what-so-ever.. so I know that I can pretty much forget about taking it into the dealership since they probably won't be able to duplicate the problem.

no experience with it, but your first check should be the fluid. If it is low add some, and take it to the dealership and tell them it is losing fluid. If it isn't keep driving it and I bet it will get worse. If it continues to be rare and spurratic, make sure you get the complaint documented before the warranty runs out.
