I just got a 2017 Chevy Malibu LT and i noticed you can really notice it shifting, not really that smooth of a ride. Anybody have the same issues or is there a reason for this happening? I just do not want Transmission issues even though it only has 6,600 miles with all the warranties still

I test drove it but not for very long, my mistake but still a car with low miles should not be like this!

Take it back to the dealers and have them check the transmission. Keep the records handy so if you need to file a warranty claim down the road you have record of when you first complained about it. Also, if they try the old “they old do that” story, ask to drive an identical car to see if that’s true
