In general the transmissions were failing and it was obvious that something was wrong with them.

Also, on some early Solstices with the automatic transmission hard downshifts when going slow were a problem and these were fixed with a software upload. I believe there is a TSB on this.

If you car is doing weird things like downshifting at the wrong time or acting erratically, you may have a problem there.

If your transmission is simply downshifting hard when it downshifts at the normal time, it may simply need a software fix.

Where can one find this TSB that you speak about?
