I would be all over the Dealer complaining. Let them go out with you and drive in the situations you are feeling this overly aggressive downshifts while just cruising at local speeds. There could be something wrong with the Tranny. Let them check it out thoroughly with you in the car.
I will schedule something with them and see where it goes. Like I mentioned I bought it pre owned from them with around 8k miles on it after a brief test drive where I hadn’t noticed the issues the way I do now in ownership.
 
Update to those following. I took a drive with a tech and they didn’t acknowledge any issues and also found nothing on the scanner when they plugged it in. I think maybe the transmission resets that I’ve performed and drive time have helped. Or possibly I’m just getting used to how it drives but things do seem better which is nice. Thanks to those who recommended the transmission resets, I tried it three times in three weeks or so and likely won’t do it again unless things get worse
 
I find driving it more , now at 4k miles, the tranny seems more smooth with less jerkiness. I also play with the throttle a little. Pick up my foot a little, then hit the gas . This is while driving locally in Suburbia.
 
JUst brought in my 25 A-Spec Advance to dealer for this - seemingly intermittent jerky (hard shift) and some lagging on hitting the throttle at 40-50 MPH or so. In addition ,I have been Bit by this Steering Wheel Rumble bug when automatically going into position with Auto Entry / Exit system. That seems to happen after first time driving. After a stop and then starting the car, a Distinct "rumble" is heard as the Steering wheel goes into position (but not when it extending, only Up and down). There is a DIfferent Thread on that.
