Mine does it just as everyone else on here explained. The car has under 1000 miles on it. I just move it over to 4 and it goes away. It sure doesn't seem wright to me to feel that every time I go 35-45 mph. I wonder how much damage is being done to the tranny while we wait for a fix. I will get it to my dealer tomorrow and boy am I glad I am not the only one feeling this sensation.
It's not everytime you go 35-45 mph!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you don't go above about 48 mph, it shouldn't shift into 5th unless they have changed the programming.

It's engine lugging due to low torque in 5th gear when the engine is 1,400 rpm or less.

Shift to 4th or give it a little gas so the converter will unlock and it will downshift.
